I just returned from a trip to the local Dollar General; didn't buy much, just some paper towels and plates (ah, the life of a bachelor)I also needed some trash bags and while looking through the selection, I noticed a new product.
It was a bag in which to keep the plastic grocery bags. It was shiny and slick and came in various colors and cost something like three dollars.
I suppose it is a good idea and they'll probably sell like hotcakes.
(if you're handy with knitting needles, I suppose you could always crochet one out of plastic bags.)
I didn't buy one because I have a better idea.
People could do as I do, and put their bags inside another bag.
Maybe I should patent that idea?

You Are Vanilla |
 You are a delightful, friendly person. You are optimistic about life and people. You are enthusiastic and energetic. You enjoy everything you do. You are cooperative and flexible. You get along with people from many walks of life. You're not a show off. Instead, you're more likely to help other people shine. |

Me and Lani
As I announced a few months ago, Lani Rose was the winner of the Marlboro Music Contest.
Just minutes ago I signed for a package from Marlboro and it turns out I was a winner too. No, I didn't win the jukebox, but I DID win a ten dollar gift certificate at Amazon.
Cool. It's not even a down payment on the thousand dollar camera I want, but I can purchase an mp3 album or add a few bucks and get an ice cream maker.
Or, I can put it aside, forget it and then remember it after it expires, like I've previously done winning lottery tickets and phone cards. -sigh-
