So you're getting our population, dittomom??! WEEELL!!:-)

Can't stay long, but wanted to make this Action Report...

Long night of rehearsal ahead...husband won't be home for supper, so I decided Panera's was the way to go for a late lunch /early supper.

I spotted an old van parked in front of the restaurant...plasterd with conservative stickers, including a 2nd Amendment bumper sticker...

So I walked in, alert & determined to spot this fellow member of the Vast Right Wing...

Placed my order, and just as I was turning around to once again check out the van...someone was getting into it!!

I told the cashier..."Be right back", and rushed out....It could have been anybody getting into that van, and I would have said something, but wouldn't you know: it was 2 older gals!!! HA!!

It was perfect! I gently tapped on the window, said "Excuse me, but I just have to say how much I love all your stickers!" as the driver rolled down her window.

They laughed and said no one had ever said anything to them before, and thanked me.LOL! That was fun!

then I went back inside and had lunch...:-)

BTW, it may have the first time somebody has said that to those 2 women, but it's NOT the first time I've accosted strangers with my appreciation....

Madeline Albrigh can bench press 400 lbs. But the question is, does she? She doesn't look like she lifts anything heavier than a fork. LOL

I do stuff like you do, speaking to complete strangers about, whatever. When the boys were young, Boy 2 thought I knew everyone in our town and Waco. He was really impressed, but he's grown now and thinks I'm just fearless.

Molly, that is an excellent idea. We need to encourage people as well as demonstrating AGAINST things.

Although I would pay cash money to see about 50 Freepers accost Jimmy Carter dressed in bunny suits with FANGS.

Loved your Action Report, Molly! It lifted a lot of people today ... you, the ladies, and all of us.

Hope the concert you're rehearsing is finally beginning to shape up.

..... But just in case it doesn't -- a word of wisdom from an elderly friend of mine that has helped me immeasurably through the years: if the concert bombs, will it affect the Plan of Salvation?

Pondering that thought has gotten me through more than one situation that I felt was 'intolerable' and yet came to realize was not significant in the grander scheme of things.
