They can either greet you on the garage, or they can be a money burden. They can also be given and shared. <br /><br /><a href="http://charity-car-donations.com/about/car-donation.htm" rel="nofollow">Mario @ Miles Ahead Donations </a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482259013668876548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-61293041873991426452013-10-26T23:22:59.316-04:002013-10-26T23:22:59.316-04:00A while ago the nuns at Sravasti Abbey, Newport we...A while ago the nuns at Sravasti Abbey, Newport were telling me about their unfulfilled wish of toiletries. They needed toothpastes, Kleenex, and deodorants. Do you have any to spare them?Lionelhttp://no-brandlimited.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-76344205852414662602013-10-25T18:19:13.649-04:002013-10-25T18:19:13.649-04:00Well there's always:

It's amazing how deeply our sense of "freedom" is linked to the instant mobility we have within a relatively large area--and how easily we can clutter that space/time with additional activity. <br /><br />Spending significant amounts of time in a metal box hurtling through space/time also has an impact on consciousness itself, it seems. I'm definitely happier and more relaxed without it. <br /><br />Of course, I do have the use of a car on a regular basis to cover the basic necessities now and then. And, quite often, as I chat with other "carless" friends, I imagine putting together a "transportation co-op", sharing a vehicle with others. Shopping is definitely more difficult relying on the FRTA.<br /><br />Like all technology, I think the automobile has it's place, but like all technology within a capitalist society, individual ownership seems to exacerbate all sorts of negative side effects. My dad said that his grand dad thought that the automobile would destroy civilization. He may have been right.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Lance Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18174480565578669357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-87910150849293877412013-10-25T08:45:57.277-04:002013-10-25T08:45:57.277-04:00better to take it away now before you get too old ...better to take it away now before you get too old and become a menace behind the wheel. think of all the children you'll be saving!<br /><br />do you have a bicycle? that's a better way to get around town, in my opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780043240144875550noreply@blogger.com
