I feel terrible, have a sore throat and want to sleep lots. I shall not be at work tomorrow.

[livejournal.com profile] inulro and [livejournal.com profile] lastaii just visited, bringing a lovely new second-hand Terenziani ratty skyscraper for the boys. We can see them play in mid-air! [livejournal.com profile] redcountess has made a hammock for them from a face cloth. Purple, to match the carpet.

[livejournal.com profile] redcountess's joints have suddenly improved since she stopped drinking Nutrasweet on Friday. Although most people without phenylketonuria have no problem with aspartame - even those with lupus - enough have that we thought it might be worth a try. Rapid and interesting results so far; we'll see how this goes.

My good friend [livejournal.com profile] dennyd did a good job of standing up for his principles recently while in hospital after a road accident. They were concerned that he didn't seem able to eat (mostly due to crappy hospital food!), and tried to give him those supplementary milkshake drinks. He noticed that they were made by Nestle and refused them!

Knew there'd be another reason I liked that boy :)
Sweets, chocolates, soft drinks, cat food, even bloody make up come under their banner and trying to keep up with which pies their fingers are currently in is nigh on impossible.

Unfortunately most big corporations have EVIL somewhere in their portfolio - Disney invests in arms manufacturers, Pfizer refuses to release patented HIV treatments to third world countries. The only way to boycott every company that was morally suspect would be to become a hermit or something.
Not to say that one shouldn't try, of course. Just that in many cases it becomes a case of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Entirely agreed. If I so much as tried to boycott all the companies whose operations offend my ethics in one way or another I'd likely starve to death ;)
