(Diapers)....Quite the attracton!!!

The headline was to suck you in, I'll discuss the diapers at the end of the blog. Now this is important to me. This blog is not about receiving accolades it's about Conflict so please refrain from such...thank you

Let me begin by saying my mom was an excellent cook and I learned a lot from her. She would be always taking cooking classes and became quite the gourmet cook. When she made a great meal and we all told her so, we would never see that meal again. Conflict. So, I learned quickly, when she would ask how was the meal I would say ah, it was OK. If it wasn't five star or as you Brits would say, have a Michelin rating she would keep making it till she got it right. Conflict resolved.

I only eat organic /non-GMO foods, I guess about 95% of the time. I am very aware of toxic chemicals and preservatives. The other 5% are foods like watermelons, cantaloupes, honeydews that are not sold organically.

Here's the conflict:

Ever month for my church I go on a food shopping spree and buy food and stuff for the poor. I go to a food distributor who sells 'bulk' items so it makes it easier to carry and deliver and cheaper as well. The food I buy is all processed foods and stuff I would never eat myself. I do look at the ingredients and disregard some items that I'm 100% positive are very toxic. I will not purchase any sodas or juice drinks.

I can't get out of my head that I'm being a hypocrite and buying food that I would not eat myself. So, I chat internally with myself every time I shop, saying it's for the poor people it doesn't matter. Well, it obviously does matter, as I'm writing this blog at 5 AM lying in bed feeling guilty that I'm doing the wrong thing. They don't sell these kinds of foods organically, so that's not an option......

We all suffer through conflicts in our lives, no matter where you are on this bouncing ball they call earth. Some conflicts are easily rectified others not so much.

Ok, back to the diapers. A couple of months back as I was food shopping I had a few boxes of diapers on my skid. A woman comes up to me and says..Wow, that's a lot of diapers. I couldn't resist, I told her my wife was on fertility pills and we are now the proud parents of sextuplets. The look on her face was priceless. I then told her the truth that it was for charity and I could see a glow on her face and smoke coming from her ears. We chatted exchanged numbers had coffee and started dating......so guys load those shopping carts/trolleys with diapers it really works


Conflict not resolved and probably will never be, I'm usually good at giving advice, but when it comes to me....not so much....
