Here you can check and see what is on the FDA list for recalled food items or say, salmonella outbreaks....um, if the damn thing will load.
FDA Product Recall List
A Stimulus Story
It is the month of August. A resort town sits next to the shores of a lake. It is raining and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt and everybody lives on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes into town.
He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 dollar bill on the reception counter and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.
The Butcher takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times gave her "services" on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel and pays off her debt with the 100 dollar bill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 dollar bill back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.
At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms and takes his 100 dollar bill after saying that he did not like any of the rooms and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and it looks to the future with a lot of optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business today.
My daughter was looking over the Hot Topic site the other night and I checked out a page as well. Have you been there in the past year or so? Ugh! It's all skinny jeans and striped shit, and the shirts look like crayons exploded on them, in tacky colors and arrangements. I think this is their emo shit.
And then I said, "You know, emo is nothing but a preppy Goth.".
She sits at her desk, electric computer glow lights her face.
"I'M SO FUCKING BORED!", she screams in her head. "Please, I need stimulation.".
Not gonna happen, it seems.
I had a hard time uploading this picture onto my profile page. It FINALLY showed up/changed over. I haven't had that much trouble in a long time.
This was taken last Friday, June 5th, on my 40th birthday, in our front yard.
"No, it was just the way it was. I didn't try it just once. haha....no, I used to smoke it here and there as a teen. Sometimes I would sit on top of my house before school and watch the sunrise, and smoke roaches. I recall one time, the weed hitting me when I got to school, the hardest, and had the giggles really bad, to where I was crying. haha....and then once we smoked a joint in the hallway, during lunch. I used to get high sometimes before work when I worked at Kmart. I was a cashier. My then boyfriend and I would go smoke before both of us going in to work at the K. ;)
Later when I tried it, it just made me feel I had to go to the bathroom really bad and I would forget to breathe, if that made sense and then would feel like I hadn't and take huge breaths. Was silly.
One time I was walking and a friend drove by. We stopped somewhere and smoked a joint and drank some beer in some grass somewhere. It was nice. I went back home and put my head up to my little stereo and listened to Pink Floyd."
And there you go.
Friday I turned 40. Whew. 40. What happened to 17? Well I am still here, so I am holding in there. Steady as I can go! ;)
I was anxious, of course (you know me!), about everyone coming over and being here and having to entertain and be ON all weekend. It wasn't too bad. It was nice to have everyone here. My Dad hadn't been at my house since around 1995. I think that was the most recent except a few months ago he was in the drive-way after eating supper together and I was getting something for him from the house. It was odd, him being here....and Mom not.
After we had the picnic in the front yard and cake, we went and rode go carts. Well Dad went back home, but us kids rode.
