Let's Move Campaign - Michelle Obama

noreply@blogger.com (Winter) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:46:00 +0000

I completely agree...well...that's an overstatement. I agree that childhood obesity is a problem. I agree that something needs to be done. How about spending some of that hard earned tax payers money on helping parents provide healthy meals by reducing the cost of those healthy meals? We're going to spend a ton of money on "education." Hell, you can educate me all you want about healthy eating, but when push comes to shove, providing fresh produce for EVERY meal is cost prohibitive for not only me, but for every average, hard working American on the face of the damn planet.

All that money spent on treating obesity related illnesses? Well, it could have been fixed years ago by looking at the welfare programs, income limits and WIC programs. WIC only applies to children aged 5 and under. Why?

We spend millions upon millions of dollars a year helping other countries, while our own children are not able to eat well. How about doing something for THIS country? Take that money you were going to send to Haiti and give it to Americans to feed their kids fresh produce on a daily basis. Farmers market checks and WIC checks are a great way to do this. And not only are you supporting better health in our children, but you are supporting AMERICAN farmers with those same checks that they will redeem for that money that you were going to send off to another freaking country, instead of using it for your own citizens.

How bout those food deserts? Perhaps you could find a way to make it worth while for the citizens of this great country by providing incentives to farmers to make the trip to those areas once or twice a week. We might also spend a few dollars to educate people in those areas about the joys of canning fresh fruits and vegetables. They are still oh so good for you, but will keep forever.

Really, is it that hard to take care of your own first? Is it that hard to find a way to actually prevent the issue before it becomes an issue by taking care of the citizens in this country who actually pay you to do a job?

Put that in your White House garden salad tonight and chew on it.

Nurse Whistleblower Who Fingered Doctor for Bad Medicine Could Face 10 Years in Jail - ABC News

noreply@blogger.com (Winter) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:40:00 +0000

This is one of the most ridiculous law suits I have ever heard of...criminal charges for following through on something this nurse believed was wrong? She was doing her job, which is something that many people never do, to the best of her ability. Trying to protect the innocent is the duty of every single citizen of the United States. If she is found guilty, it will stop any other medical provider from "blowing the whistle" on not only someone in the medical profession, but also situations like child abuse.

Is this really a precedent that we want to set? If the doctor wasn't doing anything wrong, then he should have stood up to the investigation that should have happened because of this letter, taken his lumps and been found innocent of all claims. And then he should have thanked this nurse for standing up for what she believed in.

Instead, some cowpoke sheriff can pat himself on the back for causing everyone in the United States to think, rethink and think again about standing up for what they believe in. Perhaps he should face criminal charges for misuse of power AND misuse of official information? This case should have never made it past the DA, who obviously is looking for his 5 minutes of fame in a small town that will otherwise never make the map with a newsworthy story.

Really, do you NOT have better things to spend tax payers money on, instead of prosecuting a woman who followed the correct steps to report what she believed to be medical misconduct??

Testosterone Cream

noreply@blogger.com (Winter) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:15:00 +0000

People use testosterone cream for a variety of reasons, including hair loss and impotence.

Diet Pill Side Effects

noreply@blogger.com (Winter) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:11:00 +0000

When a doctor prescribes a new medication for us, we automatically ask what the side effects are of that pill or treatment. We want to know how it might affect us and what to do if we experience one of them. But many of us never question what might happen when using one of those over the counter diet pills we are so fond of trying. Diet pill side effects can be severely harmful. Take a moment to do the research before you buy. Know what might happen after you swallow that pill, how to handle it and what to do if it does happen. And as always, talk to your doctor before starting any new medication, including an over the counter remedy!

Teachers, Public Education & Year Round Calendars

noreply@blogger.com (Winter) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 01:58:00 +0000

Well, I can hear y'all saying...really? Another post about the failing of the public educational system...

You bet! It appears to be at the front of my mind on a daily basis, because it freaking has to be. Our schools sent home this ridiculously vague survey regarding year round vs. traditional school calendars. It was a crock and half, and that was about it. It didn't address the true concerns that come with this stuff, such as walking several blocks in blistering heat through out the summer months, or the fact that only our elementary schools practice a year round school, which makes life hella crazy when trying to plan for day care. And those are just a few of my complaints.

But what really prompted this complaint fest tonight is the fact that I cannot seem to get a teacher (who is a public servant paid by my tax dollar I might add) to return a phone call or an email. It isn't that hard, it can be done in a few minutes and my only need was a few tips on how to help my daughter with her current curriculum, which for Kindergarten really can't be that darn hard, right? Now mind you, I emailed her, which means she can email me back just as easily during that hour she has twiddling her thumbs while my daughter learns Spanish...but alas, no phone call, no email, no help to be found.

It seems that the only way I can get any kind of result at all is to show up unannounced in the Principals office first thing on Monday morning. Which means I miss my morning coffee...which means I will be really cranky...see where this is going?

Really, is it that hard to do the job you are paid for by my tax dollar?!

Haiti's Earthquake & Pat Robertson

noreply@blogger.com (Winter) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:15:00 +0000

While most of us sit helplessly, wondering how to help those who are affected by the earthquake in Haiti, Reverend Pat Robertson sits and makes an ass out of himself. It boggles the mind that he would blame this disaster on his belief that Haitians swore a pact to the devil many years ago. Maybe they did...but the fact is that bad things happen, period.

There is no ulterior motive, no higher power that is punishing a country of people for something that their ancestors may have done. God is supposedly the all forgiving, higher being, correct? If this is the case, God would not throw an entire country to the mercy of a freaking natural disaster. Ignorance is bliss, and there are times when I find that certain people such as Robertson open their mouths and speak without thinking about the consequences. It is fine to preach the word of God, it's great to listen if you believe there is a heaven, a hell, a God and a Devil. But in my oh so humble opinion, Robertson should his preaching skill to good use by asking his followers to help this country and their people.

We all tend to cast stones, speak out of turn and say crazy things. Perhaps we should remember that Karma is a bitch. What comes around, goes around boys and girls. Robertson should remember the bible and do unto others as he would have done unto him.
