just woke up and wanted to officially get the day started... it's too warm to wear the irish knit out.... gotta rummage around and find a cooler shirt that's got a touch of the green in it... actually, the one i have in mind is all green... gotta bring the camera (think i have to head to the wiz or something because i want another smartcard with more memory - the ones i have now seem to be pathetic nowadays - they seem to get full at the drop of a hat... anyone know what i can do about that? i used to be able to hold at least 24 images now i am lucky if there's 12 allowed on there... and i have deleted the old images off of the thing...)
my body is telling me "eh, erin, could you kinda eat a giant breakfast with pancakes or french toast - sorry, would it be called Freedom toast? - and sausages so that you don't have a starvation drinkingfest like you did on thursday night? good. thanks!"
yeah that boycotting mass email going around... yeah - i am not exactly condoning the boycotting of companies... *sigh* shaking my head.... the email is below... but they want us to boycott Jamesons?!? on Saint Patrick's Day!? i made a few comments about the companies... go look and have a happy and safe day!!!!!
NewsMax.com is leading the Boycott France campaign because American lives and security is at stake. France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America. French President Chirac warned East European nations that if they side with America, France will oppose their membership in the European Union. This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq -- and has been helping Iraq build long range missiles. These same missiles may soon be used against American soldiers. Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid helping companies and countries that do no stand with America.
