One thing I’ve been very self-conscious about lately is using the filler words “like” and “um” when speaking. Although studies have concluded that using these filler words have no bearing on the intelligence of a speaker, it is definitely distracting and takes away from the point they are trying to convey. I’m sure attending Saturday’s Vegan Toastmasters would be a great start towards eliminating that nasty habit.

Once again I’m picking the two Mobile Pet Adoption events going on at Moorpark and the West LA Farmers Market. The shelters are overflowing with animals and the MPAs are a great way to gauge a potential pet’s personality.
