Are You Ready for a Zombie Apocalypse
I love that the CDC invokes popular culture to get the word out about being prepared for ANY potential problem even a Zombie Apocalypse. This is especially prevalent when you think back on all the recent tornado damage and upcoming hurricane seasons. It is not just the zombies….Nature is out to get us. But don’t…

I Don’t Like This Feeling
I don’t like this feeling. I don’t like feeling. I feel strange. I can feel everything happening in my body. I feel weak. Nauseous. I can fell my heart beating in my chest. I can feel every breath I take. Especially the ones I don’t take. My chest feels heavy. It is hard to breath.…

Blood Test Back I Have a High SED Rate
Of course when they called and told me my blood work was back and everything was okay except I had a high SED rate, I had no idea what that could mean and they did not explain it to me either. Thank goodness for WebMD.com (maybe), where I got an explanation even if it wasn’t…

More Animal Food & Treat Recalls
I think every pet owner out there remembers the huge pet food recall a few years back that had to affect on every pet owners lives. That particular recall did not just hit one manufacturer or brand, but a huge list. In trying to keep my fur kids safe from such things I keep an…

Guilty Pleasures
One of my guilty little pleasures in life are Pringles. I know, I know they aren’t good for you. That’s is why it is called junk food after all! But I just really enjoy them every once in awhile. But how’s a person to know when their junk food could potential be even more of…

Recalls McCormick Fajitas Seasoning Mix Due To Unlabeled Wheat And Milk Ingredients
Okay so McCormick is recalling their fajita seasoning because it doesn’t list allergens like milk and wheat, but where is the soy allergen listing? Food companies really need to address that fact that people are allergic to all forms of soy and not just one protein in it. Grant soy protein is the deadly form…

Hair Follicle Drug Testing
Need to test your kids for drugs or maybe even potential employees? Don’t rely on those pee-in-a-cup tests which only give you a few days worth of information. Use a more accurate hair follicle drug test with a longer testing range. You can now see results from as far as 90 days ago. Parents with…

Attack of the Giant Spiders from Mars
I was witness to an invasion last night. Okay, not so much of an invasion as one giant spider from Mars. Okay, it wasn’t from Mars. It was from the ceiling. Okay, it wasn’t giant either, but when it is only inches from your face hanging there with all eight of its evil little legs…

Shopping for Inexpensive Eyewear
I have often seen (and have even written about) the great prices on eyeglasses you can get from Zenni Optical, but until I recently read the article, “Cheap eyeglasses are a reality. Check out Eric’s review of Zenni Optical” over at Examiner.com I hadn’t really given buying my glasses from them more than a second…

Power of Copper
Way back when I was a kid in the 70s copper bracelets were all the rage. Fashion, like history, always seems to repeat itself. That is not always a bad thing. The good old copper bracelet is a good example of that. It seems like everyone is sporting a bangle or a cuff made of…

Why Go Without Health Insurance
I was just reading about how about half of the country’s uninsured people actually choose to be uninsured not because they can’t afford it but rather they just don’t feel they need health insurance. Can you believe that? Even if you are young and healthy you still need insurance for the simple fact that you…
