As a result of working night shift, I’ve discovered new and disturbing things in the last week. First, there’s a show on Vh1 called “Tool Academy”. No, I’m not lying and trust me I really wish I was. I thought making a show out of trying to date Bret Michaels was an all time low, but these tool bags make those Jersey Shore kids look like fun. On one hand, it really bothers me that people like this are allowed to exist, but then I find the depressing upside. If these morons can find a way to survive, surely I will not die.
Then, thanks to the whole green movement, I found that there is a whole crafty world of women making washable menstrual pads. Yep, use, wash, re-use. Don’t believe me? Google it. Look, if there’s a landfill full of disposable diapers and feminine hygiene products, I’m OK with that. The world won’t end over a pack of Pampers and a tampon, and they certainly aren’t hurting the environment anymore than these handmade Kotex makers are by driving to the store for fabric and supplies. Face it, it’s just 6 of 1 and a half dozen of the other.
