Doing basically the same as you. :) Although, I do have the occasionally double cheese burger and fries at McD's. :)

I don't know about Micky D's, I'll have some Sonic instead!

You all ain't doing anything exceptional... That's what normal people do. Though i doubt Ms. "C" is really a polite, reasonable person.

You know, I tend to side here with the Big Bowler.

You are living your life the best you can.

I mean, arent we all?

Your OP makes it sound as though you are making a difference some way or how.

Sorry...

As far as the comment about Chard, I dont know what to say. We all have our days.

My goodness, I did not realize I was pushing an agenda! And I CERTAINLY was not expecting a pat on the back. I'm a working wife and mother, I do millions of things without recognition - I don't ever EXPECT or ask for a pat on the back. I was simply pointing out that I am looking for my fellow citizens who have fallen out of the habit of raising the flag, for those that have removed the yellow ribbons from their cars.... I know I am not alone, I wasn't insinuating I was the only person doing these things. I also am not chastising people who eat McDonald's or for not being like me for goodness sake! I simply noticed fewer flags, fewer ribbons, less kindness to one another... I find it amazing that a post like that angers some people. And by the way, let me tell you WHO CARES... the world will care that I raised my children right, taxpayers will care that they don't work to support ME, Veterans will care when they see the flag flying, my children will care because they are healthy and intelligent, the soldiers will care when they receive socks and treats in a carepackage, a family victimized by 9-11 will care that you remember that day their world changed, my fellow Americans that take pride in being good people and good citizens will care that there are others out there like them. I care, and if you don't.. I'm not attacking you for it nor am I asking for your congratulations for anything I do or any choice I make. Why it would bother anyone is beyond me. So, sorry to those that were disturbed by my post but I stand by it - I was trying to start a thread of a positive nature,

I don't know if your talking to me about deleting your post or not, but I did not delete your post.

Not sure how many different ways I can say I wasn't looking for a pat on the back. Again, sorry to those that were offended, still unclear to me as to why it would make you angry. I think some folks on here just need to calm down a bit - not everyone is attacking people or judging others. I was calling for people to rally behind their country, their military and to stand up for their morals and values - It's EASY to fall into the day to day grind and get lost in the easy way out option and forget your worth to society... I was simply asking folks to stand back up and realize little things DO make a difference, it was a REMINDER, a REQUEST.. not an ATTACK or a personal glorification. Perhaps you should consider why your so quick to jump to the negative and attack.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR...Lol, wow, ya'll never cease to amaze and amuse me. Other than that my only comment is, I proudly fly our flag on my front porch.

Don't be sorry. Good post! I think we know what you ment...maybe there are people that are out there that are ashamed of their own actions so they feel like they need to come down on you for doing what you feel is "right".

Missed the part where I asked for a parade and cookies.. I'll ask for that in my next post.
Thanks for the idea.
