When I bring my bags home from the grocery store and after I empty them, I spray them with Lysol. After they dry, I put them away for the next time, so that solves the problem of plastic bags. I reuse them. Yesterday at the store, I saw a woman picking through a bunch of peppers, selecting the best one, and swapping them back and forth. How many germs are on this woman’s hands? People are so rude and inconsiderate! If they knew how hard it is to grow vegetables and food, they’d be a little more considerate or grow their own.

I was at the post office the other day and bought a book of stamps for $15.60! You realize, folks, that’s about .78 a stamp! The reason they are so high is that everybody is using the Internet. I’m getting sick of this; I’m going to go to the Internet.
