It's Friday - Yaay

In 1947, the best year of the twentieth century - Toys for Tots organised their first Christmas toy drive for needy kids. Vintage!
Alongside a newsletter I receive is an advert
"Find true love in 27 days" an on line course. Now, this presumes a lot. What if you don't get out much (probably covered in the course) What if you have really bad skin or a disease? What if your Soul Mate, the one who should be the love of your life, is out of town for a month?
I have also been reading a lot about "green stores" not to be confused with "green grocers" who may in fact not be green. Well, I'm sure I'm not the only (vintage) 1947er who remembers when ALL stores were "green", there was no aircon, the open doors offered a good through draft. Most of the produce was local as were the shop assistants. No nasty emissions and probably very little electricity being used. I could really go into detail about "the co-op" but I shan't.
We older folk were discussing the strange phenomenon of "the gap year". It's a total mystery to me why any school leaver would want to wait yet another year before embarking on the adventure of life. Talking of school leavers, one of our chain stores is selling a T shirt with the words "I'D DO ME" in very big letters down the front. Hmm. If Ashton Coucher was wearing it I'd see the humour but if my 14 year old's date pitched up wearing it I may well shut the door in his face.
Samantha sent me a wonderful Thought for the Day.

This post number 250, it has been fun, thanks for logging on.
Have a splendid weekend and remember on this countdown to Christmas, Santa DOES know who's been naughty or nice.
