Smelly Girl Scout cookies OK to eat

This article is all about smelly Girl Scout cookies! MMMmmmmm! Everyone has their favorit Girl Scout cookie. The most popular are thin mints, caramel delights, and the shortbread. But, look out for the Lemon Chalet Cremes, because when you open a box you might get a foul smell or taste. Littl Brownie Bakers, one of the makers of Girl Scout cookies say while there safe to it they might smell. The smell is due to some of the oils improperly breaking down in the cookies. If you get a smelly box you can get a return if you want to. These cookies are only sold in 24 states and Missouri is NOT one of them.

I had to do this one because my daughter is in Girl Scouts and we do sell Girl Scout cookies.

So, I am greatful the cookies are not harmful, but I personally would want to be warned before purchasing or selling a box of them. I mainly did this article to inform consumers of Girl Scout cookies. I believe as a seller it's our duty to do what's right and warn people even if we do not sell that kind of cookie here in Missouri!
So, BTW if you want Girl Scout cookies that don't smell let me know there $4.00 a box. Jessicaanp@msn.com

Red tape, bad traffic, no power: 'That's Haiti'

This article is for all those who sent donations to Haiti.
This article tells about how American relief workers went to the airport to pick up several tons of donations, but when they got there they found that the whole system had came to a hault. A doctor that came to treat 300 patients a day for six days was still waiting after 3 days for the medicime to treat them. She screamed at customs, but customs woould not budge. There is now a new procedure for getting supplies into the country. Organizations now have to sign over the goods to the Hatian Department of Civil Protection which will review there request to get a tax exemption before realeasing the goods. People who brought in tents to get people out of the rain were told they would have to pay taxes on the tents that they were giving away to the Hati people.

This article just makes my statements more true about how we should be helping our own country not others.

Now I really feel sorry for the Hati people. There own country is taking away from them and benefiting off our hearts. I mean first we are willing to give money out of our own pockets while people in our own country are hurting and now they are going to PROFIT BIG time on it!! WTG USA!!!

Suspected Colo. School Gunman Was Inside Building Hours Before Shooting

This article is about a true hero. A math teacher tackles a school shooter. Benke is the man of the hour. He confronted the school shooter, tackled him, and pinned him to the ground with the help of another teacher. The only thing Benke had to say was the he was upset that the shooter got another shot off before he could grab him. He also stated that the shooter figured out that he wasn't going to be able to get another round off before he got to him, so the shooter dropped the gun and they started struggling. Now Benke has become a national hero. A facebook page called "Dr. David Benke..A true hero!" quickly grew 17,000 members by wednesday morning Benke's actions were discussed on the floor of the state Senate.

I think there should be more teachers out there like him! I loved this article.

I think as a teacher you should risk your life to help save the students. This is the first time in a school shooting I have heard of anybody putting thier life on the line to save the students lives.

Missouri House introduces medical marijuana bill

I got a lot of E-mails about me putting down a fellow class mate about "POT" so, I decide to blog an article about why I said what I said. My fellow class mate put down "pot" without knowing that there is research going on with marijuana. This class mate thouth it was bad. Well I know from a personal experince that "pot" saves lives. My daughter is here because of it. Yes! I was under a doctors orders on using it. I didn't go out and just use it. So here is my article in my defense and to help educate some of my fellow class mates on marijuana and all the BENEFITS of it. You can find the article by clinking on link.--> Link

In this article it states that they are trying to pass a bill to legalize medical marijuana. It also talks about how marijuana would help a lot of patients. It helps with cancer, althimers, and pain. It also states that like any other prescription pain medicine there is a possible addiction. This is just the start of the bill. It also states that many people who are supporting the bill and why. Also states some physicians that support the bill and there views on medical marijuana.

I love this article.

I am NOT a person who smokes it or needs it. The reason I support this is because I have seen the positive side and have yet to see the down side of this drug. As in everything I am sure there are down sides to marijuana but, there is a down side to every medicine thats why they give you a sheet full of side effects. Look at a commonly used medicine Tylnol. Over the years it kills the lining of your stomach. If you take too many you can die of an over dose. Ever heard in the news that somebody died from smoking to much marijuana? Look at it if you had cancer. Chemo makes you weak and sick. I know my grandpa died of colon cancer. For a few years as my grandpa died, I help take care of him and seen what chemo did to him. Too bad he didn't smoke pot because he might still be alive today or at the very least he would have atleast been strong enough to walk and live normal till he did die and he wouldn't have been in constant pain! So, think before you type back. Remember that FACTS speak louder than opinions. Also remember that statement opinion are like buttholes everyone has them!

Miss California Could Sue for Discrimination, Legal Analyst Says

Yes, this is an old article, but it deserves more attention than it got! This article goes in to saying that Miss Calfornia, Carrie Prejean might have grounds to sue for dicrimination. Due to Hilton's question on same-sex marriage. Carrie is a christian and goes to to a christian college. So, when the question was asked she choose her faith over a crown. He decision led her to loose the Miss America 2009 crown. They now say that she could sue for stress. Ultimatly people are trying to say that even if she takes this case she will loose. Because it might be said that we are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of religion. That is now said to only apply in the world not pageants.

I can't even discribe the emotions I have for this article.

You have a woman of God, who believes in him enough that she was not afraid to give up her crown for him.

I would love to meet her and tell her that she is an insperation to all of us fellow Christians. She could have went with the crowd and said what she knew they wanted to hear but, she didn't. God bless her. Nice to know that there are still people out there who are willing to stand up in front of millions and say I believe in God! I do however, think as a true Christian she should walk away from the money because she has already earned more than anything money could buy.

This Article is all about Tiger Woods comming out and admitting he had an affair. He made a formal apology that lasted about a little over 13 minutes. HIs wife was not present during his formal apology. There were about 40 people there. He also stated he would be going to an unamed center for more treatment and thearpy. He also stated that his apologizes to his wife would be between them two. He did not say when he would be returning to golf, but that he would be returning.

I am appauld by this article.

It is none of our business what goes on his personal life. How many people out there did it affect? Did he hurt you? Once again I do not believe it is our place to judge this man. Why are we airing his dirty laundry on t.v.? I am sure glad I don't have people watching me 24/7 waiting for me to make a good enough mistake to air it on t.v..

3 dead, 3 hurt in Alabama campus shooting

In this Article The shooter was a female faculty member. They are not releasing her name at this time. She came in for a meeting and ended up killing three biology proffesors and injured three other employees at the school. University police secured the building and the students were cleared from it. Another man was arrested ans bieng questioned on the shooting as well.

This article shocked me! You usually hear about students going on a shooting rampage but, not teachers.

This article makes you think is anyone safe? Is that proffessor or student going to come and and go off with a gun? If school shootings keep up, I see in the very near future no body leaving thier house to go to school. I mean is any school safe? Man, this article makes me thankfull that I am way to busy to go to classes and am forced to go to school at home online. I guess when they send them online surveys for the school I will be putting it's a bonus to go to school online because you don't have to worry about someone going crazy and shooting me.

49 States dusted with snow; Hawaii's the holdout

In this Article Every state right now has snow in it except Hawaii. Snow does fall in Hawaii despite what some may think. There is just no snow there yet. Meteorologist Brian Korty says it's extremely rare to have so many states with snow.

I know this is a short article about the weather but, this is such a rare event I wanted to share it with everyone. I mean even Florida and Arizona have snow.

This story just amazed me. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have to learn this. Here is a pic of how much snow we got at our house. The snow was so deep my husband had to carry our kids because they couldn't walk in it. It was too deep.

Rare illness turns girl, 15, into ‘sleeping beauty’ But it’s no fairy tale; asleep for days on end, she has to be wakened to eat

This Article is about a 15 year old girl who really falls asleep for days, sometimes weeks. She has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin Syndrome. It is very rare under 1,000 people have it. Her parents say it's a pain because she has to be waken up to use the bathroom and eat; and when they get her up it's like she is in a tranze and has hardly any energy to lift her eyelids. There is no cure or medicine that can help her. She hopes to one day grow out of it.

Wow, where's the cute Prince Charming? I feel so sorry for this girl. I would hate to loose out on my life like that.

I hope one day she gets better. I thought the writer wrote a good article. This is something rare and you never hear about. I always like to learn new things. I hope they start researching this more and find a cure.

A Ray of hope clouded by 8.4 million jobless

In this Article "The government's report on job market in January offered fresh hope that the economy is at last pulling out of it's worst downturn since the Great Depression." The article goes on to say that the data offered little cause for celebration. That the job rate dropped from 10% to 9.7%. That a lot of people were starting to get part time jobs, but wanted full time pay. They say if we just stay patiecent for the next 3-6 months that jobs will start back up. But, offered no proof or cause for celebration. That it would take the economy creating 100,000 to 125,000 jobs a month to keep up with population growth. Mark Zandi said "I don't think we're close yet to even a stable rate at this point. We have yet to see any hiring. Until we get real, positive, substantive job growth, it's hard to conclude this is a self-sustaining economy.

I agree with Mark Zandi. Do they really think they can throw this at us and make us feel better and hopefull?

They show NO proof of jobs comming back. People are getting part time jobs because a part time job is better than no job! Duh! Why try to give us hope when there is none. This is why I get so upset about raising money for other countries. Look 8.4 million people are without a job! Who's helping them? My husband was one of those who's job got sent overseas; thanks to Bush haveing open the doors for business to go to other countries. So, hats off to Bush for Screwing his own nation. But don't worry about him we pay his bills with our tax paying money.

So, here's my questions when are we going to ask the RICH to donate to the poor! For christmas my husband had to voulunteer to do work for the military in another country so his daughters could have christmas. Yes, you heard me my husband had to risk his life just to pay the bills and get christmas for our kids! All because his normal job went overseas. Where is the JUSTICE? When do we stand up and help our own? I am really starting to hate this country. We pay for every other nation and we listen to the ads on tv where you can send money to help the starving children of another poor country, but nobody will open their wallets to their own fellow Americans. Here's the definition of America. America- A truly retarded Nation that cares more about other nations then their own.
Sad part is my husband is in the Army and we are very patriotic, but it's hard to support a RETARDED nation!

Tax court: Mass. woman can deduct sex change

Source: In this article Rhiannaon O' Donnabhain was born a man and had a gender-reassignment surgery and tried to file it on her taxes. The IRS denied her and she sued them in 2007; saying the surgery was not medically necessary. Quote "A gay-and-lesbian group told the press the ruling could affect thousands of tax filers every year."

 I was completely hurt by this article! Are you serious? Where is this nation headed?

 If she/he wins; what does that do for every other cosmetic surgery that happens? "Yes, I got a boob job done and I would like it taken off my taxes. Thank-you!" No, way. This case holds a lot of weight. Because if we let this pass; it leaves the door open to every nose, boob, botox, and more to be claimed at income tax time.

I am sorry, I can not believe this to be ok. This is not a surgery he could not live without. This surgery was a choice right along with nose jobs and everything else. I would be ok if the surgery was medically necessary' but it was not. By the way I do not have a boob job, was just using it as a good example.
