Starbucks Challenge
Hey Claudia & Umbra
The issue of FT is certainly a tricky one as I have since discovered but there are plenty of FT coffee suppliers out there. Including Starbucks believe it or not.
Starbucks promise that you can get a cup of FT coffee in any of their stores in 23 countries. And if it is not being brewed then they should press it for you. This is all company policy. However the reality is not that simple.
I (www.cityhippy.net) am based in London and along with an LA based blogger (greenlagirl.blogspot.com) have set up the Starbucks Challenge which aims to test the Starbucks FT Coffee promise. More info about the challenge is here and here
RESULTS SO FAR
We set up the challenge on Oct 4th and so far 130+ blogs have spotlighted the challenge (including some biggies) leading to 140+ challenges in over 11 countries around the world and 24 US states plus DC.Starbucks got in touch after just 3 days and are watching the results.
Turns out getting a FT coffee in a Starbucks is not as simple as Starbucks had hoped. But at least they are listening and learning.
Good luck on your FT coffee hunt.
Namaste

Paying homage to Umbra
Hi Umbra
One of our collective posted back in May about going on the road in an RV and included a section on Cat Litter - their cat in an RV was gonna be a problem re litter.
They recommended a good site full of info and alternatives...
Hope that helps your readers...

Stand corrected...
You are of course correct accel2...
Many assumptions are made...I think it is fair to assume however that in general children tend to follow similar paths to their parents more often that not...hence the cliche saying...the apple does not fall far from the tree.
For me the assumptions stand but you are right to highlight them as assumptions.
Namaste
