Get OFF the phone and DRIVE

Who ever has one of those stickers, please contact me. I will buy 3 dozen and stick them on every unoccupied car I see. Won't I be popular?!

Raise your hand if you've never had an interaction on the roads with some dimwit talking, texting, emailing with their phone in one hand and the wheel in the other.. going 80+ mph up the arse of the car in front of them? or doing 30 in a 65 zone..

No one? wow. Imagine that. The silence is indeed deafening.

Now that I possibly have your attention...

If you are indeed one of these people... your actions are stupid. Thats right, I'm going to call you or your spouse, child, best friend, friend with benefits, partner, coworker, boss, etc STUPID.

It's not funny watching a person swerve into your lane.. because their having an "important conversation". What is more important than getting from point A to point B on our overstuffed roads? If you want to die, do NOT attempt to take me with you. I won't be impressed and I will go road rage on you, alive or dead. That is, if I can catch you while you accelerate to mach 1, switch 5 lanes cutting off 4 cars in the process and attempt to give your car wings.. all while having an "important conversation". Morons.

"Yea sorry officer, I was having an important conversation. I killed 6 people because so and so wanted to know where something was NOW". Bunch of morons. I'd love to be a fly on that wall.

Dangerous. Just as dangerous as driving drunk. I do hope that puts it into some perspective.
Don't text, don't talk, don't plaster your face with warpaint, don't type on your laptop (oh yes I've seen many people do it)..

JUST DRIVE

I'm gonna make a big sign.. on white cardboard with a black sharpie pen.. with thick letters that says get off the phone and drive and hold it out the window whenever my sister takes me down the road. Good for a laugh. Maybe I will take pictures of people giving me the finger. Those ones are way past stupid. Perhaps you'll see pictures soon.

China recall stuff

Why are we still buying goods from China? Why are we still seeing stuff from China in the stores? Ralph Lauren's clothes are.. made in China. Well okay, some of them. So we pay a lot of money for pieces of cloth with pretty patterns from a country that first of all, poisoned our pets and now are basically poisoning our children. This is totally stupid.

When is there going to be a serious crackdown or ban on ALL of the stuff from China?
Oh wait, we have to wait for a child to die? Perhaps I am missing something behind the scenes - but I see the news about the recalls, an apology along the line, a recall from the China side.. but come ON people, some of these toys (alas, I am quoting something I have heard on the news) could have possibly been in some kids toy box for a number of YEARS.

Okay, I know, don't believe everything you hear. Whatever. If it isn't true, it still COULD be.


An apology doesn't cut it. A Recall is awesome but its still like shutting the door after the horse galloped out. How about preventing the poison in the first place. Oh and people that import the crap that goes into stuff made here aren't exempt from my rant.


I went to buy a floaty thing for the beach the other day - I think it was from CVS pharmacy. Made in China. Me and my sister went shopping for swimsuits and shoes. MADE IN CHINA.
Oh wait, we did find a few made in.. hmm.. what is that country.. oh yes, Italy. :D

The next thing will be that the clothes imported from China... will contain fiberglass. Yea. Well I hope they are the suits that the people who MIGHT be able to control imports have to wear for a period of 24 hours!. Itch away. Scratch away. Maybe then we will get something done because alas someone other than children, animals and the general public will be affected.

Hell, I can hope can't I?

I'm still angry about the pet thing. My pets are my children so when they started recalling every pet food made known to man it was a bit of a worry. I escaped the worst.. my cats are fed dry food. Thankfully. Hopefully the parents of the kids with the poison toys are as lucky with their recall list.

I know, I will just put a list on my fridge of what not to buy.

1. Anything made in China.

I hope Santa checks his list twice this year.
