Lost earring

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I was reading an article on the Internet today about some pro football player from the Miami Dolphins who made the mistake of going to practice with a really expensive diamond earring in his ear and that he lost it during practice.  I can sympathise with that, I lose earrings a lot too!  Of course, I don’t wear really expensive ones but it is a drag to lose a piece of jewelry that you like…..

The author of the article suggested that a metal detector would find that earring.  I don’t know if there would be enough metal in a diamond stud earring for a metal detector to find it.  What do you think?

Heart health

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I see a lot of news stories lately about people dying from sudden cardiac arrest. More news coverage is happening about taking care of our hearts, and lots of advice has been given out about making sure to eat properly and get proper exercise. There has been a lot of discussion about risk factors and mortality rates. St. Jude Medical has put out a sudden cardiac death video that I just watched and found to be very educational. It is well worth watching.

Now THAT’S a bad day!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I was reading on msnbc.nbc.com this morning that last week, the first day on the job for police officer Tim Pochron in Hobart Indiana did not start well.  Twenty nine minutes into his first day, his new squad car was parked outside his house (I don’t know why it was outside his house when he was on the job, that is interesting….) and an intoxicated driver smashed into the squad car, and then a tree.  The rear axle of the squad car was bent from the impact.

Not a good way to start a job, is it?

Why are they doing this to us?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I was reading a Reuters.com article today that the Senate blocked debate on a bill that would have extended tax credits to consumers who buy hybrid cars and install energy producing windmills and solar arrays.  It sounds to me as if the Senate has some kind of ulterior motive to keep us chained and enslaved to foreign oil.  What’s up with that?

Pet dog killed by street sweeper

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I was browsing around the Internet today and found a story that broke my heart.  It was a story from last week, on Thursday June 12, 2008, about how a man was putting his little dog into his car and a street sweeping machine came up behind them and swept the dog up inside the machine and killed the poor little thing!  The “authority” in charge of street sweepers said that they “offer condolences” but made no offer to buy a replacement dog.  I think that the LEAST they can do is buy a replacement dog, for crying out loud!  If you want to see the story, click here.
