They requested STORAGE. They needed a place to store their JUNK. that's right - quit buying so much STUFF. “Stop buying so much damn shit – especially cheap plastic shit from China!”

that’s right – quit buying so much STUFF.

I was so worried when I clicked on your "political" link. I thought to myself "okay, this is probably where I am not going to like her anymore..." I was so wrong and PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. Yeah! Someone with a brain!!! You are right on! Everything you stated is exactly correct. The real message people need to hear is, "Stop buying so much damn shit - especially cheap plastic shit from China!" Preach on Sista! Thank God you are NOT A WEENIE!

I saw your politics link and had to take a look...did I hit a "green" person's blog who believes all the CRAP about us destroying the earth? No - I found a gardener who is questioning/complaining about the load of CRAP the govt & hollyweird is shoving down our throats. I have recycled for the past 15yrs - throwing away bottles, glass, newspapers, etc. I never littered out of my car window & sorta had an understanding of the good & bad I was doing to the earth because I remember those commercials from the 1970s about cleaning up our rivers & streams - remember the Indian crying by the river? Well, now I have to have the govt tell me what type of toilet to use which is a low water flush toilet. So-when I have to flush 2 of 3 times to get the poo & paper down the hole exactly how much water am I saving? Next they will want us to start rationing our poo days. Ok, southerns can poo on even address days and Northerns can poo on odd address days. I'm starting to believe that if only Gore would have won the election in 2000 that it might have shut him and his rants about Global warming up. I think our history will show him as one who just needed to be needed rather than a great political figure. Oh yeah - will Epsom's salt be ok for my Bermuda grass?
