Today on Thanksgiving I brushed my teeth over a brand new, white, porcelain, sink.
We Americans are the only ones who have Thanksgiving.
I wonder how many people in the world have a white sink with chrome faucets.
I wonder how much food you could buy in Africa with the money we spent on that.
Join in and write a Friday flash 55. Then report to the G-Man.

Many Thanksgiving meals over and over could be bought for the people of Africa I'm sure. I too have the white porcelain sink/chrome faucet combo ~ add that and we'd feed a bunch.

Friday Flash 55 ~ Memoirs
Very true and thought-provoking.
It IS a nice sink, too. :)
Great 55.
My own Friday 55 is right HERE.
Come see!
tHAt's one gorgeous sink. With a thought-provoking end. Good-o, girl. Mine is reall lah-di-dah today. No profound thoughts in my head; too much pumpkin pie.
OMG! I have the same sink and the same faucet in my bathroom. You gotta love it! I was wondering how many kids in my town went hungry tonight. That statistic may shock us too.
OK for the record, I have a very similar sink but this picture is off the web. just sayin'jeNN
Thought-provoking 55~ I wonder how many starving kids may have died in Africa on our Thanksgiving?
damn great 55!!!!
Hmmmmmmmm, very thought provoking!!! This question in your 55 makes me stop and think. [But, the Canadians have Thanksgiving also...in October]
My 55 is "Going Cold Turkey"...skim down below my Show n Tell post to find it. Click Here
Wow! This is a very cool 55!
You scored with this 55! I have traveled in parts of the world where people have never even seen a sink.
There but for the grace of God...
So true how we waste money on material items! Good point!
Definitely something to think about. Great 55.
What is Flash 55 ?
Hello again, I have come over from your other blog. I love this blog. It fits with everything I believe in. Having grown up in Africa and then working as a human rights lawyer I had to draw a line around myself to stop my soul leaking out of me in sorrow. There are so many positive things that can be done and just living your best life is one of them. If you read a post I put up called Nyasha, and you would like to help, I can arrange that. This sounds like a plug but it isn't. Just saying there are things that can be done. I will continue to follow your lovely blog.
