Springing Into Consumer Sales

Into Spring we are going faster and faster.  In the sixties this weekend.  Probably, colder next week according to the weathermen.  I say men, because, I listen to all of them on every channel. Am hoping that at least one of them will hit the correct temperature hot or cold prediction.  You just never know anymore, the weather is so crazy.  There are St. Patrick's Day and Easter items on shelves in the stores already. 

 We are a consumer driven nation.  Although, I try very hard not to be motivated by sales ads anymore.  Prices have skyrocketed so high, it is hardly worth the work of clipping coupons.  Brands are so varied, not good for you and ads are fraudulent.  How about Parmesan cheese people adding wood and cheaper cheese but advertising it as all cheese.  That is worse than the pink stuff that was or still is being put in hamburger !
Further, did you know that lima beans raw, have a high toxin that is poisonness until they are cooked and drained.  Arsenic I believe.  Same for kidney beans; green potatoes, tomato leaves and nutmeg that contain some form of toxic poisoning in them raw.

Valentine's Day - Feb 14, 2016

Receiving special gift  from a family member, or a significant other, is always a pleasure anytime during the year.  However, on Valentine's Day, there is a particularly display of romance and friendship that is celebrated by all. 
      On Valentine's Day, you could receive or give a token of affection from someone or another, that could brighten his or her day.  
Flowers, a beautiful greeting card, stuffed toy and/or a decorated, red or pink,  heart-shaped box of an assortment of delicious chocolates or hard candies are particularly welcomed by most of us.  Take a few minutes of your time to partake of this lovely tradition on February 14th and make someone happy by extending your greeting of  love and warmth.  You can even treat yourself on this special day.  Buy yourself some flowers and candy that will brighten your day,  especially, if you are alone on this day.  Make it special for yourself and perhaps for a neighbor or mail person, bus driver or an elderly person, who might not have anyone in their lives.  Remember, a smile is always free.  Keep The Faith and God Bless You.  Your Friend, Cooky.
