I had never thought of that, that people not in any town officially, in the country, are free loaders virtually, on city fire paid fire departments and ambulance services.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-34128137572530709972018-08-02T11:05:45.655-04:002018-08-02T11:05:45.655-04:00Oh, I like that slogan!

Likewise a nearby tire store. Back around Thanksgiving their sign advertised 'pumpkin flavored tires'. Cracked me up completely since that's about the only thing that doesn't have a pumpkin version in autumn.

That is odd to think of firetrucks not getting there the same day in the past.<br />There is a vault ( for graves) company in the next town and their truck says " slow down, we can wait.

Thank you for sharing the article. Good read. I'm lucky to have not developed an eating disorder. It wasn't for lack of trying in my youth. ~shakes head~ There's a big difference between the media's ideal body and a healthy one.

If I was so inclined...<br /><br />Worst marketing ploy? Funny you should ask that. I just heard about these appetite suppressing lollipops... It was in a blog I read about a half hour ago (http://www.themilitantbaker.com/2018/08/suck-it-flat-tummy-why-marketing-eating.html). It's worth a read if you're so inclined.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-84615835800051069512018-08-01T11:36:50.398-04:002018-08-01T11:36:50.398-04:00So true.
