Interesting stuff.<br /><br />I too often forget about honey. I love it, but usually don't think to buy it. I've been eating a lot more of it lately since I got a multi-pack from Costco.<br /><br />When I'm feeling sick with a cold or something like that I like a cup of hot tea with honey and brandy.

Oh, sorry didn't mean to get on a soapbox. <br /><br />I have never seen Brian's Song and so many people say how good it is and I love,love movies, I must see this movie. Many movies get me crying BUT just to name one, well, I will go with,BEACHES.<br /><br />I agree with you on Fast Food employees BUT I do believe there is some room for compromise,management needs to meet them part of the way, with money and making them feel needed, it is all about respecting your employees. Compromise works.<br /><br />Gosh, I rambled enough, enjoy your visit with your mother and shopping, share photos of purchases :)<br /><br />Lucy from <a href="http://www.lucysreality.com/" rel="nofollow">Lucy's Reality</a><br /><br />Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795342448811764481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-56400594168905820452013-09-04T09:56:03.268-04:002013-09-04T09:56:03.268-04:00Wow!! 15 dollars an hour?

I don't think the raise for fast food workers should be increased all that much, but there are many who do work hard for what they make.
