THE BLACK FRIDAY WALMART STAMPEDE of DEATH
ATTENTION WALMART SHOPPERSI was glad I stayed home after I read the news on the Black Friday Walmart death. How did we get here, people? Since when has a hot video game or baby doll become more valuable than the life of a human being? It's not unusual to hear of an angry mob leaving carnage in it ...

THE 1st of MY LEFTOVER TURKEY RECIPES - SOUTHERN TURKEY POT PIE RECIPE
For those of you left with some turkey, I thought I'd share my leftover turkey recipes. Not that I mind the occasional sliced turkey sandwich, but I have a low tolerance for one after the other. I can change the kind of bread that is used. I can substitute condiments that I would normally not rea ...

RESTAURANTS OPEN ON THANKSGIVING
I was amazed at how few of the local restaurants open on Thanksgiving. Not that I could have squeezed even my favorite lasagna or fried raviolis down after all that pie I had awhile ago, but for those who had planned on going out to eat tonight might be in for an unpleasant surprise! The trendy, up ...

How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2008
Im sure most of us remember the story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas from the Dr. Seuss book. Remember that poor little puppy dog with antlers strapped to the top of his head that pulled the wicked Mr. Grinch up and down the mountains? The little fellow skidded and tumbled and made his way thr ...

GOOGLE FLU TRACKER
The Google Flu Tracker could not have been brought to my attention at any better time. Why wait to see symptoms of the flu in the line at the grocery store when the master of search results can do it for me? As those of you who subscribe to my blog already know, my little one is allergic to eggs (a ...

VINTAGE HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
Vintage Halloween costumes once were limited to items that were dug out of a trunk in the attic or put together with stuff you begged and borrowed from the linen closet. Nothing expensive was in the mix unless you counted an antique feather boa, spike heels, hat and gown covered in sparkling sequi ...

YOUR KID HAS A PEANUT ALLERGY - DOES ANYBODY CARE?
I have posted so much about my daughters peanut allergies as well as other health and medical problems that we have endured. Between the MRSA, the asthma and various lesser food allergies, peanuts is the worst. I have a child that will someday be away from my ever watchful eyes and at the mercy o ...

We can always use another weapon in our arsenal in the battle against SIDS so Im willing to give it a shot, arent you? The information in the study says fans might do more than just save energy in the b ...

HOWARD STERN SHOW OBAMA VIDEO from HARLEM INTERVIEWS
I'm not a fan of Howard Stern's vulgarity. Nor am I politicking for either the Democrats or the Republicans. I am trying to bring focus to the fact that the time frame is narrowing and Americans have very little time to familiarize themselves with which of the politicians stands for what. Listeni ...

FALL: A GOOD TIME TO KILL YELLOW JACKETS
I want to go on the record that I would rather not kill yellow jackets even though we are all extremely allergic to their stings. My attitude has always been that they deserve to be here as much as we do and have a place in the order of things. But, this year they have overstepped and decided to ...

HOW TO PICK A NEW PRESIDENT
I'm as confused as the next person over what to do in the next election. I know that we can't afford eight more years like the last eight. Is McCain just another Bush with a better service record? He's a war hero and we should honor and respect him for that, but is he up to the job of turning the ...

PALIN'S VOTING RECORD - SHE'S PRETTY - NOW WHAT?
Before you start bashing me (or patting me on the back for that matter) let me say that I'm not anti-Palin...or pro-Palin. I simply don't have enough information on her voting record or political history as an elected official in the State of Alaska to say at this point. But what I do want to say ...

Can MRSA Spread be Spread with a Toothbrush?
Maybe I am being paranoid, but when your baby has MRSA you can't afford to play around. I am faced with a very odd situation. The call has already been made to the pediatricians office to discuss this situation with him or his nurse assistant and in the meantime I will record it in a blog entry. ...

The buzz on the street is that in fifty or less years that the United States will no longer have the superpower status that it has enjoyed since the beginning of the last century.

ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP and BODY WASH BE HANGED
I was trying to remember when America became so germ phobic. It came to me that the early 90s was when antibacterial became a buzz word. Everything from antibacterial body wash to baby clothes was manufactured along with increasingly powerful antibiotics all with the purpose of keeping super bugs ...

HOME RENOVATIONS MAY BE BETTER THAN BUILDING GREEN
Sometimes I ponder how home renovations got such a bad reputation. Very few people seem to realize that building an energy efficient house may not be as environmentally friendly as renovating an older home. It's true; the greenest house that you can buy may be an existing home. Theres no doubt th ...
