I hate it when people have blogs and don't keep current. O, wait, that's me. Never mind.

Fundraisers

I'm sick of fundraisers. I'm sick of other kids wanting me to buy their stuff. I'm sick of my kids wanting me to buy their stuff. I'm sick of sending my kids to ask other people to buy their stuff.

Why don't we just learn to make due with what we've got? By "we" I mean our schools, bands, soccer teams, baseball teams, glee clubs, Spanish clubs, French clubs, PTAs, church groups, football teams, PACs, universities, alumni associations, and everyone else who wants to raise money because they think they need more stuff. Live with what we've got or just ask people to give us the money or the extra stuff. There's no point spending five dollars for a one dollar candy bar so some organization can have more money.

Soda price gouging

Don't you hate what they charge you at restaurants for coke (that's the generic word for carbonated soft drinks- - what yankees call pop)?

Its highway robbery. They charge you $1.79 or whatever for a glass of soda that costs them a few cents. Uggggh! What a waste.

What's the solution? Quit paying the price! If nobody buys the drinks at their exorbitantly high prices, they will have to lower the prices. Wouldn't that be nice. Come on people, quit letting the food industry treat you like an idiot. Boycott over-priced drink when you eat out.
