My list is simple….
1) Grocery stores should deliver at no charge. (Who actually likes to grocery shop? Not me.)

2) 18-24 years, 25-35 years, 36-49 years, 50 – Fabulous! Stop with making being over 50 seem like a black hole!

3) No texting at the dinner table (home or in a restaurant). Any while we’re at it– Can we please all just turn the Blackberry OFF after 7pm and on weekend— like the good old days!?!?!?

What a great bunch of suggestions to add to the list!

To Joan: I think actors should make plenty of money if they can get it (millions sound really good to me!); it’s just that when ONE of them gets all the big bucks, all the other actors have to take the spare change.

To Marguerite: I totally love it. I once had dinner with a friend who took no less than ELEVEN calls or commented on the people trying to reach her. Can I hear a yawn out there?

To Rosemary: I LOVE the idea of handing over wheelchair bound Cheney and the smirking Bush to the bearded wonders!

To Conz: Go, baby! Just call me BD from now on.

Ha-ha! Rosemary rules! Best suggestion yet! (I’m into revenge.)

How about all those tacky, wasteful, over priced mini-malls get transformed into real nieghborhood schools, and we fund them? Carine–I’ll work your campaign to become Benevolent Dictator.

Gosh, I know this is hard to believe but everyone has covered most of my concerns. A brilliant list to be sure! I guess if I had anything to add it would be to send Cheney and Bush to the Kyber pass (helicopter, wheel chair and all) and make them haul supplies back and forth to our troops in the dead of winter. If the cold winter doesn’t kill them, the Taliban will. Think of all the taxpayer money we would save on trying them for war crimes.

Carine,
Truly insightful. I would add one day a week without tech for the 0 to 99 population. What? you say. No smart phone sms, emails, blogs etc…Umm… There is always the next day when can you knock yourself out with the stuff! We would not be missing much.

Carine, I love the way your particular sense of humor conveys meaningful thoughts….its so original… and they follow me into my days and I’m reflecting again and again on subjects I wouldn’t have questioned.
