Texting article
After reading the article I will no change my texting habbits. I use common sense while walking and texting, I look several feet in front of me to make sure nothing is there before i look down to text. I woul NEVER cross the street wile look down at my phone I think the text can wait ten seconds before crossing the road. I don't text while driving but somtimes I pull over or if i know the stop light is going to be long i will read or write somthing real quick but I have stopped texting while driving last year. I don't think its the texting that is the problem i think it is the people lacking the common sense that are the problem, not only with texting but they ruin a lot of things for us.

Thanksgiving
The smell of the crescents in the oven being warmed makes the feel of thanksgiving. The way the table was set so all the food was in reach so we could feel our plates fast. I never cared much for turkey, it was always draw and I wasn’t a big gravy person, but we would always have ham to supplement it. Never really cared much for the time chatting with family but the food was always great, a nice spread of so many different food and smells made the all day of waiting worth it.
So many different platters were set on the table; deviled eggs, crescents, ham, potatoes, and so much more. I usually take all the favorites so I don’t miss out on them. Then I take the things that my aunt supplied a lot of. I make sure I get all the good food first. So many things to eat but up you always need to save room, because desert is the best part.
Cheesecake was always my favorite and the favorite of most of the family. We also always have a supply of brownies, cookies, and cakes. I always grab some milk and a plate full of cookies with a slice of the delicious cheesecake. After my stomach gets bloated and I can’t eat anymore we say our goodbyes and we go home where we watch TV and go to bed. For most people thanksgiving is about the family, but for me it’s about the food.
