I'd choose one at Christmas to do this very thing. A woman checked out with her modest purchase, and I told her... "This one is on me. Merry Christmas." She was irate, saying she didn't need me to buy her groceries. She made a scene, and I got in trouble. Sometimes, you can't win.kkditherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181697760037435065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-1870840236737957872015-07-15T14:13:10.884-05:002015-07-15T14:13:10.884-05:00Toad: http://www.jtirregulars.com/2015/07/city-of-...Toad: <a href="http://www.jtirregulars.com/2015/07/city-of-racine-says-northwesternstate.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.jtirregulars.com/2015/07/city-of-racine-says-northwesternstate.html</a><br /><br />kk: I'll take (and give) love and kisses any day.<br /><br />Mme.

I hate to admit it. I can...I saw that, too, Toad. <br /><br />I hate to admit it. I can't turn on the television anymore. I can't read the news. I skip past the articles that talk about the hate. Everything is one side against the other. Hate, hate, hate. I know it is the wimpy way, and does nothing to change our situation, but how much can we fight these larger, well paid, insulated and fierce detractors? By the time we get them (via lawsuits, or whatever) they have already done their dirt. How is it that we are so naive to give them the power in the first place?<br /><br />Instead, I am practicing kindness. While out yesterday, I stopped and talked to a family with a new baby. I directed my conversation to the big-little brother. He was thrilled that a grown up would hold a grown up conversation with him. Of course, I made eye contact with the parents to make sure they were comfortable with me. You have to be careful nowadays, there are so many strange people.<br /><br />I say counter the hate with love and kindness. It won't fix the problem in its entirety, but you'll feel better and those around you will feel better. If everyone did it, it could make a difference. It beats grabbing a 45 and a fire extinguisher.kkditherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181697760037435065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-40725141368350917832015-07-15T09:44:39.229-05:002015-07-15T09:44:39.229-05:00I recently saw a Facebook post, that showed people...I recently saw a Facebook post, that showed people planting flowers In the POT HOLES.
