I think we should re-think how we do many things, starting by listening to each other.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-21474238624870602102012-05-28T12:14:45.015-04:002012-05-28T12:14:45.015-04:00I love your blog and had to laugh at the clothes/c...I love your blog and had to laugh at the clothes/closet delemna. I am with you on that, and I'm not much of one to shop for clothes. However, I do tend to keep clothes I haven't worn for ages because just maybe I'll want to wear that particular blouse, etc. Or maybe I'll lose or gain wait and will be able to wear it again. <br /><br />As for the laws, that makes sense unless an old law is still important. With the divisive Congress we have now, how will they ever decide just which law should go. Of course, we don't need anyone to regulate widgets anymore - whatever they may be - but I'd hate to see laws that protect people's rights or the environment be discarded. And it's such a personal thing. If I add on to my house and get a building permit to do so, I'll be required to put in a whole new septic system for a lot of money. And yet, although I don't want to do so and feel my old one is adequate, I can see that with the clay soil in our county, some regulations must be in place to protect the water sources. So if I decide to add on that room and have to pay for a whole new septic system, I won't like it, but I'll accept it for the greater good of the community - with only a little bit of grumbling. :-)Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.com
