Girls Entering Puberty As Early As Age 7

New studies have shown girls are entering into puberty as early as age 7.  Some Pediatricians claim that is partly due to a rise in obesity in youth, others have no clue why young girls are entering into puberty at an earlier age.  About 10 years back studies were done on young girls who entered into puberty at an earlier age and scientists put some of the blame on the hormones that are now being pumped into our animals by farmers to increase the amount of meat they can get from the animal.  Some of the problems with childhood obesity can also be blamed on the hormones that are injected into our animals. Now if farmers are pumping our animals full of hormones and we are feeding the meat to our children, it is going to have an effect on their bodies.  I am guilty myself of eating meat from the grocery store and feeding it to my children.  The economy gives us no choice.  Unless you can afford to go and buy meat from markets that only sell hormone free meat.  The problem is, it is very costly and The Food and Drug Administration should do something about the farmers pumping the animals full of hormones.  The problem is nobody really seems to care what they do to our meat.  The scary part is they now allow stores to purchase their meat from other countries to sell.  If you didn't know that, check some of the meat labels in grocery stores.  Walmart is really bad for selling a lot of meat from other countries. We don't really know the regulations in other countries, but people continue to buy meat shipped over here to the United States.  Is it possible to buy anything made in America anymore?   To me, it seems like the Food and Drug Administration is becoming slightly slack on following through with their regulations and monitoring what goes on.  You know there are problems when there are recalls on food almost weekly on the news.  I think the government has put our health second to money and they are allowing the farmers and the stores to do so too.  What is it going take before the government steps in and makes stiffer regulations on some of these companies and what is imported into this country to be consumed by Americans?  Infants have even had health complications from plastic baby bottles and formula. The government officials all sit around a table and compare the amount of money the country is making on imports to the health risks involved.  Guess what, they voted on the money not our health.

The Crazy Shit People Do For Money

A 42 year old man of the African Nation of Togo attempted to board a plane four weeks ago. The man showed signs of being nervous and it alerted security.  It was discovered the man had swallowed 85 condoms filled with cocaine to smuggle into Houston, Texas. How stupid can you be to swallow 85 condoms filled with cocaine?  You can't even depend on a condom to hold sperm and prevent pregnancy. But, your stupid enough to believe it will hold the weight of cocaine?  In a way, it possibly saved his life that he got caught carrying the condoms full of cocaine.  If just one of those condoms broke it could have been fatal for him.  How did he plan on getting all of those condoms out without possibly breaking one of them.  Then he wouldn't be around to even spend the money from carrying drugs over here. The crazy shit people will do for money.

Inmate Sues The Crime Victims?????

A Florida inmate is suing his victims for $500,000 in damages.  Michael Dupree is serving 12 year sentence for a burglary and cocaine possession.  Dupree is claiming his victims used excessive force with him and he is suffering from permanent disabilities and psychological damage.  The victim had put him in a shoulder lock until the police arrived.  He broke into a car, stole a bike and was found hiding naked. The victim held Dupree in a shoulder lock until the police got there. Doesn't Dupree think he used excessive force when he broke into the car and then stole someones bike to escape on? Dupree is just a little sour because he got busted.  As far as the psychological damage, I think he already had psychological problems if he is running around naked.  How is it possible that a criminal can even possibly sue their victims in the first place. Our judicial system seriously needs some work. Not only is he wasting our tax dollars by taking care of his ass in prison. The judicial system is going to allow him to waste more of our tax dollars on a senseless on a senseless lawsuit. The judge should have laughed at him and sent him back to his cell. That alone is crazy.  How can a civilian be sued for using excessive force?  That's insane!

Epic Fail Tattoos

In loving memory, maybe he should have found a better tattoo artist.

What church does he go to? lol

Okay, what the hell was she thinking?

Okay, is she still going to love pac man when she's 50?

Does he really want to look like this when he has children? His children are going to have nightmares about their father.

I bet her man is enjoying that tattoo from behind.  Her sex life may be over.

This one should be hanging in tattoo parlors to remind people what they will look like when their older when they decide to get their bizarre & strange tattoos.

Seasonal Items

I understand the concept on trying to get a head start on the back to school shopping.  I did today only because they put everything out so early you have to go and buy some of the back to school supplies at Target if you want to get the good stuff at a cheap price because the bins are already half empty. My beef with the whole thing is, it is still summer! What if I need to buy items for my summer needs.  I have been in the stores looking for a few miscellaneous items for the backyard and I can't find them because they already pulled most of the summer items off the shelf. For example, a grill and some clips to hand up the streaming lights. With all the storms lately a lot of my clips blew away and my grill quit on me yesterday. I have to buy a new grill. I absolutely hate cooking in the house during the summer. It's just too damn hot even with the central air on. However, since it is toward the end of July. Your grill selection is very slim. Now, there are still about 2 or more months left of grilling. Don't they stop and think that someone may want to buy a grill in July.  For crying out loud they put the grills out in March before anyone even starts grilling.  No one is thinking about buying a grill in March. The same goes with Halloween and Christmas.  They start putting out the Halloween items in August and the Christmas items in October.  Who the hell wants to think about Christmas in October? Let me get through the school shopping and Halloween before you start shoving Christmas decorations down my throat.  Then when you run to the store in December when your putting up your decorations and need a few more items you can't find everything you need  because all the good decorations has already been picked over. I don't know about you, but I am sure as hell not pulling out my decorations in October to see what items I may need. It seems like every year they start putting the stuff out earlier and earlier. The whole thing is beginning to get ridiculous!

Die Hard 5

Why in the hell are they making another Die Hard movie. I understand that the great John McClane never died, but do they really have to make another one the last one should've been it. Hollywood needs to produce some new action heroes. I'm sure the movie will do well, but get some fresh blood in there. I'm no movie snob, but there needs to be some new action heroes, because I know I get tired of seeing the same ones.

Economic Situation & Jobs

I am enjoying being a stay at home Mom to a certain point. I have had the opportunity to do things with my children over summer vacation that I normally haven't been able to do with them when I was working.  But, I did my time and I would love to enter the work force again but jobs are so scarce here in Michigan.  I would leave here in a heartbeat if my husband could transfer to another state without taking a pay cut.  What has this economy come to?  Not too many years ago you could apply for a job and find a decent job within a few weeks. Now it literally takes months, no matter how much education you have.  Jobs that used to pay around $50,000 year are now starting people off at $9.00 or $10.00 an hour. The competition for those lousy paying jobs are fierce. When I was reading online last week about the current economic situation, some employers are reporting they are receiving over a 1,000 online resumes for one job posting.  It seems that the men are having an easier time finding jobs.  There are more manual labor jobs than there is jobs woman typically perform. Employers are taking advantage of the millions of people being out of work and offering less money because they know there are a lot of people who are desperate for jobs and will take it.  What they fail to realize that the economy isn't going to improve much if people have less money to spend to boost the economy. If people make less than they spend less. Economics 101.
