Today I will do some shopping; just some things that are needed-- lifelines like coffee brandy and beer; and some things that I don’t need; those things that jump out at you, grab you by the arm, shake you with their graphics and aromas… Of course, I will come back with things I don’t need: better protein natural carbs no hormones (taste the same) organic, smorganic, ballanic--grrr! Hair restore, get rid of wrinkles...Help! “Please hold for the next available operator”—grrr....

I find no joy in going out to shop. Main reason is cell phones and people obsessed with multi tasking. Can't shop like one used to. One must hear the constant chatter of of others. I learned to buy what I needed only, mostly by phone. TV has a volume control. Commercial are so stupid! This weekend...all those commercials at the Bowl. Panagiota xx

I agree entirely. Cell phones are the worst. How does anyone ever think for themselves any more--be alone with their own thoughts? Blessings my friend!

I hear you; well, retired now, I don't need to go out of the house much. So I do my best to find my way around the negativity. Turn the volume off on all the advertisements. In fact, I stay away as much as possible from anything commercial.
