Call it stealing if you like, e_s. that's your prerogative. Not thousands, but millions of other people get pillaged upon by corporations. Not by just sampling a grape, but basically taking everything they can take from them. And, they think they have a license to do so. I don't have a license, other than the fact I am a customer. A customer has power, too, if he utilizes it.

I know that nobody is going to reply to this, no matter how real it is to a lot of people. It's just another case of "I don't care what you've been told, what you learned in school, or how you think things ought to be, I'm telling you how it IS." It's about the part of you that is not defined by other people, your job, or your role in society. It's about the composite of all your unique skills, abilities, interests, talents, insights, and wisdom. It's about all of your strengths and values that are yours and that you NEED to express. What you have been programmed to believe that

If consumers had known not to eat the peanut butter crackers, produced by the Blakely Georgia plant, Over 400 people could have been save from getting sick on rat s***, and five more may have died from the s***. The trouble is that the crackers were packaged. I make my own peanut butter crackers, and I sample the grapes I buy.

People who want to mind your business will tell you, in a round about way. How ever they tell you the message is clear: "Don't you make waves in my world. You do whatever I need and expect you to do. To hell with your life, just don't be complicating mine.

Some moron might see the sticker and heed the warning. Morons have to be warned the best way people can warn them.

According to Federal food safety inspector the Peanut Corp. of America, which owns a peanut butter plant in Blakely, Ga., the peanut-processing plant makes peanut butter for institutional use as the possible source of a salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 434 people in 43 states and may have contributed to five deaths. Look how long they got away with that. If I sample a grape it's my business, and the store should be glad I'm doing it. I will tell the people around me not to buy those grapes, if they are bitter or something.

Look around, right now. Is anyone trying to mind your business? If so, why don't you tell them to mind their own business?

From sunup to sundown a lot of people look to marketers and advertisers to make their choices for them. Why? Because marketers and advertisers know those people, and have spent billions of dollars to learn them. The people don't even know themselves that well. And, it's a job that those industries are more than happy to do. Being a victim of somebody else's business is no way to take care of your own business.

Yes, that's a very good answer, Tt! You certainly mind your own business, and don't allow other people to have you tending to theirs.

On Mulberry Rock Road, near the Rock Query, I can hear explosions and even feel the blast a little. They used explosives to make the gravel easier to deal with.

Silver Sneakers allows any retired person, with the right insurance to go to any fitness gym they are close to. I have about 5 locations that I frequent. I don't like the same old same old. Cosmose is out of sight about its hundreds of exercise equipment's. They have a temperature controlled inside swimming pool, a souna, and several huge aerobics and yoga class rooms. Come when you can, It's air conditioned. I forgot to mention our wonderful ZUMBA instructor. I'm gonna start ZUMBA classes when my broken foot gets well.

Good information, low! I need to start back going to the gym. I have a membership at Cosmose, in Marietta. It's only four miles from home. I have gained a few pounds, and I need to get them off.

I was actually born in Bremen GA. I lied in my first reply. You'll came a long way to get here in North West Georgia. I've been right here for 66 years, and it's good to have you with me.

In a closer relationship than our great great grandparents, I can talk about our parents. We don't begin our lives with the privilege and responsibility of making our own choices. On the average we don't even begin to differentiate ourselves from other living creatures until about age two. Our dependence on our parents or other adult authorities means that, during our critical years of growth and learning, these were the people who made our choices for us. Questions about what to eat, what to wear, what our living arrangements were, and which school we'd attend were probably answered

I would like to see a case brought against a customer for eating a grape during a grocery shopping endeavor. I will even volunteer if I am shopping, in the grocery store, and I am allegedly stealing a grape as I go through the produce section.

What is our feeling on outsourcing? Have we not lost a lot of jobs by the outsourcing of many services. Check this video out, on outsourcing. click skip the ad, it is a long ad. http://youtu.be/ztgNTO3j3rE

What's wrong with giving our children an incentive to be smart, and to read books, history, science, geography math, and all the other things that are educational. If you don't want to listen to me then listen to Dr. Michael Sandel. http://youtu.be/DFVdX4Tje2E

"The selfish spirit of commerce knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain." The Chief Author Of The Declaration Of Independence How can we love our independence so mush as we do, and ignore the Chief Author Of Our Declaration Of Independence? Who minding the store? It's not okay to ignore things that effect all of our lives. Ignorance is not bliss. It can be devastating. So much of the country's wealth can be concentrated into such a small group of people that the other 98% of us will be eating sheeze and running rabbits like the dogs we will be.

I know I bring up issue that people don't like to talk about. But, I have plenty of help with my friends, on here, who bring up issues that people do like to talk about. They dob't ask the hard questions that I ask. I just don't share that status quo in things to talk about. What's worse is that the status quo don't want to know anything about history that the rest of the status quo donn't want to know anything about. If we turn a blind eye to history, how the hell are we going to keep from making the same mistakes our great great grand parents made.

What kind of thinking is it when many, and many, a Georgian wanted a neighboring state to feel the utmost severities of war, when they were supposed to be on the same side? It makes me wonder how many is many, and many, a person. I am still not certain that I want to turn my back. I usually do like Doc Holiday, and sit at the restaurant table with my back to the wall.

Is there anything in your past generation that you hope, to God. was not passed down to you?

I can't see that, e-s. it seems to me that nobody is going to miss a sampling, if you are testing something for possible purchase. I want even buy a car that I don't drive some gas out of before I decide. I don't call it stealing. And, if the manager call it stealing he is a liar, in my book, so we are even-steven.

I'm sorry about your mom, S & D's N! That year is when I lost a dear uncle. He didn't have the benefit of the hospice, he spent his last days in the Veteran's Hospital. I don't think the VA hospital offers as good a check out plan.

In Jolo West Virginia the folks still practice snake handling, which has been outlawed in other states. http://youtu.be/iUdc5h10zTo I am not one to allow earlier generations to have any influence of this kind on me. After I found out what my great-great grandparents asked William T. Sherman, I no I don't want a lot of things to be passed down to me. Sherman said: "Many and many a person in Georgia asked me why we did not go to South Carolina; and, when I answered that we were en route for that state, the invariable reply was, Well, if you will make those people feel the utmo
