I did take the dog in for a chemo pill and didn't see anything closed down here. The big shopping centers looked like they were doing a booming business.<BR/><BR/>I have a few "radical" ideas to stem the tide of illegals crossing just before giving birth so their kids can automatically be citizens but I think they would probably be thought of as too far out. I just ask anyone to ponder this: If you or I as Americans or any other foreigners were in South America and tried to cross a border into Columbia or anywhere, sneaking across at night with no papers and we were caught....what do you think they would do to us?srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-1146531302600897782006-05-01T18:55:00.000-06:002006-05-01T18:55:00.000-06:00I've been so busy I didn't even realize what a big...I've been so busy I didn't even realize what a big hullaballo was stirring about this all... (I was on vacation at the beach and didn't watch tv or read a paper for over a week!) It was heaven. ;)<BR/><BR/>Well anyway - the only shopping I did today was by accident or need - not to protest the protest. LOL. I had to go to the store to get little baskets and goodies to go in them for "May Day" baskets which we delievered around town to the kids friends. I'm glad I was occupied though and keeping busy because I could surely get on a soap box about this topic. *smirk*<BR/><BR/>Hmmm what is the handicap icon next to the word verification for? LOL. I want to assume it's a joke but I have a feeling it isn't?Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711662607879816395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-1146514183524776812006-05-01T14:09:00.000-06:002006-05-01T14:09:00.000-06:00Hey, I'm in great company.

Its almost 4 and I just returned home...I've been shopping since 9 am, hitting 2 grocery stores, target, wal and k marts, Home Depot, a garden store, gas, the natural food store (which I was surprised was open) Barnes & Noble and a lunch spot. I was tempted to go to Taco Bell, but, well, I didn't. <BR/><BR/>Shopping as statement. What a concept. <BR/><BR/>It was fun.<BR/><BR/>I drove by a Mexican grocery (in the windows the largest signs are advertising MONEY ORDERS) and it was conspicously chained. I don't know who they think they are hurting...they should read my mad basket stomper story. <BR/><BR/>I did go by my favorite Mexican owned restaurant, which makes incredible salsas and serves ridiculously expensive bottled beer and it sported a big "open on Monday, May 1" sign. I couldn't make myself have hot sauce at 9:30 sadly. In my mind, I honked, becaue I just can't bring myself to actually honk, but I will make a special effort to go there soon.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949724388906286696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-1146497670169024372006-05-01T09:34:00.000-06:002006-05-01T09:34:00.000-06:00I'm going shopping, too, for the same reasons. And...I'm going shopping, too, for the same reasons. And I hate shopping.<BR/><BR/>I think I'm with your son on the "United 93" movie. Part of me wants to see it in the worst way, and part of me thinks, it's just too soon. <BR/><BR/>Jennifer<BR/><A HREF="http://chapternext.typepad.com" REL="nofollow">Open Book</A>Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13499442091022625950noreply@blogger.com
