For example, brussel sprouts are high in vitamin C. Don't know if I can find a way to fix them that I can stand but I will try:)Sheri Ellwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521018942479639251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083638296820168853.post-22990631686122854462012-02-18T13:37:33.315-06:002012-02-18T13:37:33.315-06:00Dean, that is a good idea.

I am talking about making tough decision for the sake of the greater good. I am talking about doing their jobs in a way that supports the greater good even if it hurts their campaign finances or their investments and such. Good point.Sheri Ellwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521018942479639251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083638296820168853.post-78198004219818161242012-02-18T08:09:13.874-06:002012-02-18T08:09:13.874-06:00If you plan to write letters to your congressmen a...If you plan to write letters to your congressmen about valor, you might want to be specific about "doing the right thing" and their "pocketbook". Surely most of them give generously to charities, but I don't think that was your point.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204762201074075228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083638296820168853.post-32602053399439780222012-02-17T19:07:12.068-06:002012-02-17T19:07:12.068-06:00I think your iPad would be a wonderful thing to gi...I think your iPad would be a wonderful thing to give up. It doesn't affect your health (as giving up citrus might do) and is a LUXURY you can do without - you just have to use the computer in the office. Small sacrifice but it takes effort and inconvenience.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873000996733574927noreply@blogger.com
