I spent quite a bit of time yesterday, removing old posts that were no longer relevant. I figure I’m about halfway through on getting everything cleaned out, and will spend more time on getting everything organized over the next few days. It feels so good to log in, blow the dust off everything and get [...]
I just read that a jury decided that Walgreen’s was 97 percent responsible for the death of an Arizona man who apparently died from a toxic interaction of the pain medicines, Methadone and Tramadol. The jury also said that the man’s doctor was 2 percent responsible, and the man himself was 1 percent responsible. The [...]
It looks like there could be some E. coli contamination in some of their potato salad. Man, that really bothers me. I can kind of understand raw food like lettuce but when it comes to prepared food, there is just no excuse!
Oh speaking of raw food, the article also mentions recalled spinach contaminated by salmonella. [...]
A few days ago, I posted about an FDA bulletin regarding Swanson Health products, and the government’s assertions that Swanson’s may be adding a prescription cholestrol lowering drug to some of their Red Yeast Rice products.
Well, someone from Swanson posted a reply, going on and on about how Swanson is committed to their customers, etc, [...]

Castleberry is just one of the brand names that is part of the canned food recall in the U.S., as well as Canada. If you have ANY canned food in your home, please make sure to compare it to the recall list. Many of the items were manufactured under various names, so you can’t assume [...]
My daughter forwarded me the link to this unusual story. A man noticed that the hay on his wagon caught fire, but instead of pulling over, he drove around five miles through the rural countryside because he wanted to find a home that had a hose he could use. He created a wake of burning [...]
I’m watching ‘American Inventor’ on NBC. The contestants go in front of a judges panel, show their inventions, and hope the judges deem them worthy enough to go on to the next round.
I believe in following your dreams, but some of these people need to wake up. I felt so sorry for the guy with [...]
Right now, it’s 112 F outside, at 6:30 pm, so my family and I are staying cool indoors. Personal fireworks are illegal in Arizona, so if you want to enjoy them, you go to one of the big shows. Still, some people always seem to manage to get hold of a pop bottle rocket or [...]
