On sale at Loblaws. Why...they're just stunted peaches!

I've picked up hand/face towels (about 8 inces square) from various commodity
stores, such as Loblaws, Zellers, and Walmart. Might have tried Sears and the
Bay, can't remember.

Without fail, they fray at the edges and require constant pruning after every
use. After getting tired of all that, one may start simply yanking at them,
which usually pulls out a good length of thread and might leave a thin spot in
the cloth. This is really getting annoying. I don't remember cloths being so
needy way back when (though that doesn't mean that they weren't).

Is there a way to recognize a well-made cloth? I got a stockpile of the
less-than-well-made ones, and would like to avoid adding to it.

So I was at this ESSO station this morning and filled my tank which
set me back about $55. After paying, I went and got their squeegee
and started cleaning my windshield and headlights and taillights.

The owner comes out and tells me that I shouldn't be using the
squeegee to clean the car and that they're only supposed to be used to
clean the glass. I tell him that I was using it to clean the glass on
the lights. He goes, well, sometimes those lights have bumps and they
tear up the squeegee and then I have to go and replace them; making it
sound like it was an out-of-pocket expense for him. I'm sure ESSO
supplies them with that stuff.

Anyways, you would think that after plonking down $55 that he wouldn't
bitch and cry over a one dollar squeegee.

Hi there,

However ridiculous this may sound, I do have an idea that I think in
time could feed millions of people around the world. I'm not a spammer
as some might think. I'm an everyday person just trying to share an
idea and hopefully with support, start a new non-profit organization
that takes care of all children.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Rick Carroll
