I think most of us probably add $6 worth of junk food to our cart when we buy $100 worth of groceries anyway.
How many millions of dollars would this gen ...
Misty Chandler September 20, 2011 Idea 1: Wind mills!
Make them afordable for everyone.
Idea 2: Bring more green jobs to michigan so we can have better jobs.
Idea 3: Instead of giving able-bodied young men and women free rent and housing, give them jobs to build roads and housing for the low income and homeless, instead of paying them to laze on there butts.
