Saying "Thank you" can be a simple but effective thing to do.

I don't usually endorse companies - it takes a lot for me to do so. Normally it would be for philanthropic reasons only. It's not a rule as such, just something that I don't do. Today however, I've been given a very good reason to do so. Starbucks is a very large, and really well known company. Today they have come out (no pun intended by the way) in support of the gay community. Now for a company as large as this to do something like this - it is a gamble. Because a belief like this could damage their brand. So, because they have done this, I wish to acknowledge what they have done and say 'Thank you' on behalf of my daughter, and my friends, that for no other reason but their sexuality, they are shunned and bullied, and worse, told they cannot marry the one they love. If you support equality of any sort, then you would also support Starbucks. Please let them know that you support them in their coming out, by signing an eThank you card. You can do so here... http://sumofus.org/campaigns/thank-starbucks/?sub=taf

My biggest regret when I leave this earth...

I was struck dumb one day when I realised, that I would never get to read all the books I want to. Only now do I realise that I would actually become a vampire if this gave me the opportunity to read all those books. Wow.

MOOing kitchen drawers

So, I have insufficient funds to remodel the kitchen, but desperately want a tidier kitchen, one that's more organised. and has more drawers. How to overcome this when you don't have thousands of dollars to do it? Simple, make do with what you have and use your initiative. I went to Coles and bought some plastic tubs that (I measured first) fit my cupboards perfectly. Now I can slide them out and see everything that is inside. Nice, tidy, organised.
Happy sigh. 😊 Oh the upside? The tubs were $9.00 each. 😃
