Hi! I agree that the designer ones may be a rip off. I am now experimenting with cloth bags from the dollar store! It's actually cheaper than making them yourself, and since they already exist, it's sorta recycling. So, for anyone who is interested-Ingles supermarkets have a "dollar isle" and they have cloth bags for a buck. Also, many independently-owned "dollar stores" offer them for sale as well. It's a great idea, and it wouldn't hurt anyone to give it a try!
Nice post Susan! Keep up the "green" way of life!!
Why are people trying to shut down the site? There are just as many people defending Vick as opposing him? The rest of us (who are trying to play nicely) would just like to continue talking to our peers. Please, we're not all being mean.........
I appreciate the fact that WE ALL have the right (and privilege) to state our opinions. I also understand the passionate nature of these circumstances. Having read what seems like a hundred comments, both for and against Michael Vick, I have become so depressed. Some of you are getting pretty nasty with each other. It's breaking my heart. I am against ALL forms of abuse, even these nasty little comments some of you are making to each other. People are criticizing each others spelling and grammer for goodness sake's!
It's inconceivable to many of us that people can treat animals so badly. Also, many of us do not appreciate MV's arrogant attitude (unless it's on the football field and we're winning). All that considered- do we really have to beat each other up just because we don't agree with each other's opinion?
Personally, I am outraged at the thought of Vick even considering participating in such "alleged" events. Would anyone like to know why? Because, silly me, I was holding Vick up to a standard that human beings just cannot always live up to. I wanted him to play for the Falcons forever, to be an Atlanta hero, after all, he was so very charismatic when he first came here. HE filled the stadium with fans. My fiance and I started watching every Sunday just to see what he would do.
And now, whether the fella is guilty or not, many of us have turned against him. I don't know what he is truly guilty of in life. But remember he is someone's child, someone's brother, and the things being said about him are hurting them too. Not to mention each other. Some of us (including me) have used very hurtful words (example-thug). It was brought to my attention that is a racist remark. For that, I apologize. I wouldn't have used that word had it been a white man that is true. I would have said "scumbag" or something else. So, I am apologizing to anyone/everyone I have offended.
I know I'm going on too long, just bear with me. I know what it feels like to try to be everything to everyone. Luckily I grew out of this, but it is something to consider about Michael Vick. NONE of us know how he really feels inside. Perhaps, if he is guilty of these charges, he was trying to "fit in" with his family members/friends. I know that I have done a couple of things (participated in) just to fit in. Anyone who has ever been involved in a prank gone wrong might know what I mean. What if he did know what was going on, but didn't actually participate, and he felt bad about it. Or what he was goaded into participating by people saying things like "oh you think you are better than us now?" He may have- and it may have broke his heart inside afterwards. Or, he may just be a person who feels no remorse and couldn't care less what the rest of us think. My point is--we don't know!! We are not to judge others- no matter of guilt or innocence! That is up to God (as per my beliefs).
Please forgive me for going on so long, I just wanted to put my two cents worth in. Again, I apologize for my hurtful words, and tonight I pray for all of you (on both sides of this debate), and I hope you can all let go of this anger and get back to living your lives and loving your families.
So many people are "cluttering" up this website with everything "Benoit." I guess I will be taking a break from visiting this website because I AM SICK OF PEOPLE GOING ON AND ON ABOUT BENOIT!
There, I got it off my chest.
I feel better now.
