My friend, Sheila, wrote a post on her blog yesterday that I though was about celebrating Thanksgiving, called “Giving Thanks?” but then after I read it, I realized that she makes some good points about how the Native American Indians might feel. I always thought that the first Thanksgiving was a good thing, but perhaps we did not get the whole story from our schoolbooks. I wonder if most Indians think that Thanksgiving was a day to celebrate? Or was it the beginning of their decimation as a race?
New Vacuum
Today’s vacuums are pretty much disposable, aren’t they? I buy a $50 vacuum at K-Mart just about once a year. I used to spend $200 for a vacuum and I still had to replace that every year. So now I just buy the $50 ones and put the other $150 towards something more fun.
