Since it was introduced, I've held out for Small Business Day and do most of my shpnpiog for Diane at the small businesses in our  Old Town.   The supply is limited as are the choices but   I'm still able to find what she wants and likes and I will pay just a little bit more to stay clear of the horrendous crowds and the big stores.I'm also mindful of smaller, independant places, like coffee shops and go to several throughout the month.  I like keeping smaller businesses in business and I wish more and more people would patronize many of these independants.I think working Thanksgiving should be  voluntary.   If the business is willing to pay extra or double time for workers working a Holiday, then let those employees make that choice.  If you can't staff your business   close the doors and wait til the following day. I agree, there is way too much corporate greed and it bugs me that a month or more before a holiday   you can't find anything for the holiday that is  still 2 weeks away!Besides   smaller businesses  usually  offer better customer service    usually.

Melissa, I like to believe daicnng is a very good therapy (psychological & physical ) and, if you can do it more often, your mind and body are going to thank you.I am so glad you enjoyed the event and appreciate your words in this page.I hope we can improve a little every event, and people like you (and your article) give us incentives to do better and better.Together we can do this kind of activities happen. Let's do it again.See you soon.

I'm with you Melisa I tell everyone I'm a nuisdt. Ssimply because I refuse to be ashamed of something that has been so good for me. I love it, it has cut way down on my stress levels. At first my family and friends were like uhh, okay, I guess? But as they have learned more about it from me they realize it is just a part of who I am. I think this is the only way to legitimize social nudism in the eyes of the public one person at a time through interaction with real people who just so happen to enjoy social nudism. Simple when you think of it. I mean how to a lot of us learn about the world? Through interaction it is the things that are unknown that are mysterious and weird. So let the cat out of the bag you never know who else might be one too.
