LANDS END ReCalls clothing

       I was watching a morning show with Charlie Rose, and a Lands End conversation/topic came up with a lady who is helping to change and improve Lands End.
    A title shows Lands End iconic US Label. I called Lands End when I saw something I liked and asked where the item was made. It was not made in the US. Labels  are deceiving. A product can be processed in the US, packaged, assembled in the US, and still not made here in our country but we pay huge bucks when you can buy the same, almost same product at other stores, big box stores. Lands End was once a part of Sears, or had a connection with Sears. Oh the clothing items recalled ...BABY/CHILDREN PAJAMAS...not what they should have been as in fire proof, resistant etc. I wonder where they came from? How was that discovered?
     Like Subway who when caught said they no longer sold bread for sandwiches with materials used in sneakers, I no longer patronize. FOOL ME ONCE...shame on you...FOOL ME TWICE...shame on me!
    Why are labels so important? DO you really think you're all in high school again where labels matter? Maybe to kids and to the rich, so come down to earth people and make your money work for you. Buy American if you want to pay a little more, support AMERICA, AMERICAN Businesses and that makes your money work as in money smart. But hey wear and buy what you want of course.
     Those very nice looking catalog clothes, bags, shoes, winter jackets as well as summer wear, I see what appears to be the same at BOSCOVS, and still look for American Made Label's that have an A on it which means the item is completely and really made in AMERICA. Happy Support AMERICA spending.

Subway vs. Jimmy Johns & The Kid, York Pa.

       Recently a kid was on an outing with an adult who was taking care of him for  few hours. The man was about to take the little boy to subway to eat and the kid stubbornly said no, that he won't eat at Subway. Well I knew why but if I was the adult I would have said fine, I am eating at Subway and you can watch me. In Part many things are about control.
    But this had more to it. Subway was caught putting the materials used in Nike sneakers in their bread. If they weren't caught would they still be screwing the public? In my opinion, yes. Everyone is sorry when they get caught. But if they had a conscience at all, that never would have happened to put foreign mater in bread knowingly, and having consumers ingest it. So that was the kids real reason.
                     They ended up going to a neighboring pizza place.
Jimmy Johns is my favorite sandwich eatery. Clean, fresh and filling, Jimmy Johns is just all around so much better. They offer a great grain bread which is so tasty, I could just eat the bread. Jimmy Johns offers a wonderful salad type sandwich, delicious, crunchy and leaves me wanting more. They're fast too. Prices are reasonable when you look at the amount of deli meats, lettuce and tomato, spreads if you want such as mayo, all makes a tasty sandwich. I never add mayo. For me, The sandwich is great as I buy it without anything added such as mustard or mayo. Try the number ten on grain bread, fresh daily, an do your self a big favor, stay away from Subway. If they did it once to save money...how in the world do you trust them again? On the next inspection? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
               Jimmy Johns here I come for lunch today.

Brittany Spears Vocal Fry Voice

       I just heard Brittany Spears talk on ELLEN DeGeneres again today. I don't watch often but put the show on and walked away listening as i came to my computer and heard an into bringing B. Spears on and then she spoke. OH heaven help us. Why does she as well as others who speak with a vocal fry voice thinks they sound better, more important?

        If Anything it's annoying. More young women do it than men. Some guys do it and for either sex, it's called Vocal FRY. That happens when someone intentionally lowers their voice to sound more important and the main piece of this is they think it makes them sound smarter. You're Not smarter, but you are more annoying.

Summer Plans ? Kids, Money, Time and Bills

               How many families realistically expect to go away for a summer vacation? Understanding what your life is about makes you the only person who knows if you can really afford a summer vacation. In a way, It's like Christmas.  You spend so much money on going away and come home to bills and then say, what did I do. Sure you gave your kids a good time, but now you're stuck with credit card bills.
       There are many ways you can show your kids a good time in an inexpensive way at home. But don't break your  financial plan, mess up to pay it all back and next thing you know Christmas is here. Also let your children know summer vacation really means that their job which is school is not in session and that alone is summer vacation time, no getting up at a certain time, no eating at a certain time, no schedules if mom and dad don't want to, unless of course you work and have to bring kids to a sitter.

Fireman Volunteer Child Molester Neighbor Stoverstown Pa.

              When I first saw his face, the charges on face book; quickly my brain went to when I first met him. He came to my house with his son, welcomed me to my new home in the country, told me he was a volunteer fireman and more in the community. A few years ago my Jeep went on fire and he was there and I would see him at Special Olympics with one of his sons and his wife. I remember her as never looking happy. Yes, that stayed with me today wondering, is that why? Because she knew he was a child molester all those years. I also thought of Jerry Sandusky and his wife and then remember a guy in this area who was a High School principal at Vo-Tech. The volunteer fireman is Timothy Stein.
     So many times victims are blamed, stories get twisted, but the wives, they always know. That High School Principal? His wife taught Sunday School and she was a screamer. One day picking my children up early from the upstairs class I heard her scream and never let my kids go back there again. This was the popular family. The man, Jim  Blevins would be in the Choir and when it came time to pray he would look up, all around and yes I did too obviously because there was something I never liked or trusted about him.
            His aunt told me it was true but that the board forgave him, and God forgave him, that the young man who brought charges was a disturbed kid with a history of drug abuse. I wonder why. Well that victim couldn't take it anymore and I went to his lawyer with what I was told by the aunt, ready to go to court. The victim however was now being disgraced by this wonderful church, Shrewsbury Assembly of God. His aunt later told me I would probably feel better in a  small church, Sure, gotcha, sweep it under the rug again. Keep the perverts in the church. Let him continue to molest. Yet The school would no longer have anything to do with him as there were other victims.Sometimes, many times, in big churches, families who are well known have "positions". They hide, cover up, take part in, are just as guilty, deny and pious. They think-who are you to question us? You are Gods child, that who!
     All of this and more came flooding back. Why do the wives protect these "men"? Is it money, property, the family, going out to work, a lifestyle?
      PROTECT your children ! I'm sure you so, but protect them more. Ask questions, a lot of questions and teach your kids to tell, tell the hell out of it if anyone, anyone at all touches them, asks to keep secrets, asks them not to tell, whispers, threatens them. Whatever you can  think of to keep your child whole, they way they were meant to be, do it. Keep them children, Keep them Whole, keep them lovingly  as pure as you can.
