Bug parts found in Similac Powder Formula



This is your baby's formula

And.... this is what was found in it.
Beetle parts and larvae was found in Similac baby formula.  This is insane.  Nothing is safe anymore. Similac ought to be hit with a huge fine for that one.  It makes my stomach nauseous just thinking about all those mothers out there who fed their infant the formula not knowing their were bug parts in their babies milk.  What a shame, the companies have just become way too careless in their manufacturing. It's like no one even cares what it does to the consumers. That's like the large egg recall was due to uncleanliness.  It's getting as bad as living in a foreign country. Similac tries to soften the blow by saying there is no serious health risk. However, it may cause a stomach ache and digestion problems.  Of course, they are going to say that. What if it was the owners wife feeding it to his infant, if he had one. But, then again he would probably tell her to breastfeed.  Stomach aches and digestive problems can be a serious problem for infants. I'm sorry but this whole food recall thing is getting to be for the fucking birds.  The FDA needs to step up to the plate and start doing more inspections on these rat holes they are manufacturing our food in and start shutting them down for the smallest violations and make them bring everything up to code and keep doing it until they get the point.  Food is not cheep.  They charge us an arm and a leg just to feed your family and you can't even trust food your eating.  It's like the FDA is letting manufacturer companies do whatever the hell they want.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of them have been paid off to keep their mouth shut.  That's only conclusion I can come to. How else would they miss all this shit the companies are getting away with. The only safe option anymore is to breastfeed your baby.  You can't trust the bottles and you can't trust the formula.

Unusual Weddings

Okay, there seems to be a growing trend of people getting married in retail stores. Recently, a couple got married in the shoe department of TJ Max and another couple got married in Taco Bell.  That's a little ridiculous.  I understand they want their weddings to be unusual, but that is just tacky. Sometimes, I wander if people do stuff like that just to get on the news. Maybe she likes to buy shoes at TJ Max, but getting married in their shoe department is a little weird.  Last summer, my daughter was in cheer leading and a couple got married on the field of junior football game during halftime. Then the husband went back up to the booth to announce the game. I know it's not my business to judge where other people get married, I just think it's a little silly to get married in retail stores. It just adds cheapness to something that is supposed to be a special moment. If they would like to save money, then go to a JP. To each his own.

Taco Bell Wedding



Okay, what is he supposed to be?

Nice photo. Is this Halloween or a wedding?

My back aches & my skirts too tight.

A Madison Heights (MI) 6 year old was kicked off her cheerleading team because her mother disagreed with a cheer they were having her 6 year old daughter cheer. Her mother felt the cheer was inappropriate.  My husband and I can agree with her on the cheer. My daughter was a cheerleader and her cheer team chanted the same cheer at every game. It does look a little strange and inappropriate for young girls to be chanting "My back aches, my skirts too tight and my hips shake left to right" as they turn their back to the audience and shake their butt to the crowd.  The cheer would be more appropriate for older girls but not really for young girls. It is ridiculous the coaches kicked the young girl off the team and decided to continue with the cheer at their games.  And they call that team spirit. Being a team consists of working together as a team and sticking together. I'm surprised more parents aren't a little uncomfortable with their little girls cheering such a suggestive cheer as they shake their butts to the crowd. But, there is so much politics in cheer leading the parents would rather have their daughters cheer a suggestive cheer than risk having their child removed from the team. This goes back to the problem of young girls being sexualized at a young age.

What you shouldn't do when your pulled over by a cop.


A lot of people make mistakes when being pulled over by a police officer.  Here are some of most common mistakes most people make when being pulled over by a police officer that may get them in some hot water.

1. Never argue with a police officer and question them. Your only going to piss them off.
2. Cussing at them is definitely the wrong thing to do.
3. Never lie. Police officers are trained to tell when someone is lying and they know the questions to ask    someone to get them to fess up.
4. Stay Calm and pull to the right. Put your hands on the steering wheel and only reach for something when asked to.  Police officers can get a little edging when someone starts reaching for something.  They don't know if you have a gun or not.
5. Turn on your interior light if it is dark out.
6. Don't boost about who you know. Most likely, they don't even know who you know and your just going to infuriate them and they consider it a threat and will most likely ticket you.
7. Never, Never try to bribe them. They will only enjoy arresting you even more.
8. Don't make excuses for the reason you were pulled over.

If you follow the basic rules, there's a good chance you will get off with a warning.
*Be polite
*Keep you hands in sight until your asked to get something
*Don't have an attitude with the officer
* Don't make them follow you for a while before you pull over.

Pentagon Finally Reopens Child Pornography Investigation (Project Flicker)

Finally three years later the Pentagon finally decides to investigate 100's of child pornography fans who are civilian employees, military servicemen and contractors. Including more than 70 patrons with security clearances and 22 with Top Secret clearances. The investigation was was started in 2007 and closed in 2008 after only 57 employees were investigated.  The investigation were of people under their ranks purchasing oversees child pornography on with their paypal accounts or their credit cards. The patrons have been allowed to continue their employment without interruption. Only 10 patrons were charged as a result of Project Flicker.  Right there under our noses government employees are viewing and paying for child pornography with our tax dollars.  We work and contribute to their salaries, while their sitting on their fat asses watching child pornography in their offices and these are the people we entrust our countries security to. But, because they are government employees, they can get away with it and keep their jobs.  It's about time they finally re-opened the investigation! But today, the Pentagon official in charge of DCIS told The Upshot that he has ordered the remaining cases reopened. Deputy Inspector General for Investigations James Burch stated Wednesday "I have tasked Defense Criminal Investigative Service representatives with reviewing each and every Project Flicker and related referral DCIS received so as to ensure action was taken regarding these allegations involving employees of the Department of Defense," . In his statement, Burch said that even if criminal charges were not pursued against the remaining names on the list, DCIS would take steps to alert their superiors for administrative action. Here's Burch's statement:

I have tasked Defense Criminal Investigative Service representatives with reviewing each and every Project Flicker and related referral DCIS received so as to ensure action was taken regarding these allegations involving employees of the Department of Defense. If circumstances dictate, additional appropriate steps will be taken to ensure allegations involving DoD employees are thoroughly explored. In situations whereby criminal charges will not be pursued, relevant information will be referred to the leadership of appropriate DoD organizations for administrative action deemed appropriate.

To me it sounds like they tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug to avoid bad publicity. Until Upshot started making inquiries again.  The Upshot was the first to report the existence of 100's of names the Pentagon refused to investigate. What kind of bullshit is that?

Pastor Arrested on Sex Charges

A pastor in Troy, Michigan was arrested after the FBI say, he was trying to solicit sex from a 11 year old girl at a hotel. The Rev. William Bendert of the King of Kings Lutheran Church in Lake Orion was arrested Friday, September 10, 2010 in Troy at the Red Roof Inn for trying to solicit sex from a minor. According to officials, Bendert had expressed in his emails he wanted to teach the girl about sex. Bendert uses the AOL chat handle "Billthebear99." He claims he thought he was talking to the girls mother. Like that takes away the guilt off him wanting to screw up the life of a ll year old girl to get his rocks off. I hope Bendert is repeatedly raped in prison, because God only knows how many little girls lives that sick man has screwed up. Whenever a case like this comes up, the congregation and the community seems so shocked a pastor or priest was arrested for trying to solicit sex from a minor or for child molestation.  Child predators put themselves in positions in the community where people will trust them with their children.  Not that people shouldn't trust their pastors, but be very careful with who you trust your children with. Just because they are a teacher, a pastor, a priest or a coach doesn't mean they are saints.

Kick Off

Okay ladies.... football season has officially begun. What are you to do? It's time to either go back to your old hobbies or find some new ones.  Back to watching those Lifetime movies and playing those Facebook games you gave up on for the summer. Anything to entertain yourself to keep your mind from going numb from the nonstop football on the television. Everywhere you look, there's football. Football commercials and football gear in the stores and  football on the tube. Football season has begun and your husband or man has found a new love.....football. Be glad it's football and not a another woman.  Well, at least during the football season. Your time spent with your sweetie revolves around what game is on. Unless your a football fan yourself and then you two can spend your time bonding during the game. You gotta love them though, football is part of the man you love.  Don't worry, you can have him back after the Super Bowl.
