so this is goin slow, and i'm really not so concerned about it ... this font looks unusually large .... is it? i'm reading up on olive oil because i read today that it's suppose to be the best thing out there health wise for an oil to cook with. i maybe knew that. Homer (and not the simpsons dood) called it liquid gold. i am fast becoming a kalamata olive addict, however, and they aren't cheap. a container that lasts 3 days for me is like $5 canadian. i wonder if kalamata olives are healthy for you .... i did ask gramma but i think she said they have a lot of fat in them. fantastic. while i'm at the olive oil thing i guess i should look up kalamata olives and see how healthy they aren't for me. i never got around to putting pictures into my new photo albums today because gramma and i spent the afternoon at the supermarket. we sat upstairs, drank starbucks coffee and watched the consumers below wandering back and forth. watched the tsunami relief concert on tv tonight, the one in vancouver. how much money do we think we need to donate? obviously it's a good thing that we're assisting, but does anyone else out there think we should take care of our own as well? are we going overboard? we don't have adequate homeless shelters in our big cities, and then there are the smaller cities .... (i don't have the patience to wait for pages to download about olives; first they aren't available, then they've moved, the next are all recipes, so i think i'll not worry about it til later) okay i've found what i'm looking for .... "The Government of Canada has committed up to $425 million over five years for the international relief effort," (http://pm.gc.ca/eng/news.asp?id=381). maybe, just maybe, we could've spent some of that cash on our own first. gramma's listened to me gripe about this for the past week. maybe if i write it down i'll be able to shut up about it. not likely. okay, gotta get some sleep. i'm suppose to be up at 8:30 am for coffee and out with gramma for 9:30, and it's ten to one. heh heh.
