BPA is bad

Cancer Update from Johns-Hopkins

Bottled water in your car is very dangerous!

On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said this is what caused her breast cancer. It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue.

Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the
bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.

Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle instead of plastic!

No plastic containers in microwave.

No water bottles in freezer.

No plastic wrap in microwave.

A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic
bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.
Do not heat our food in the microwave using plastic containers.. . This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat,=2 0and plastic releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the
body...
Instead, use glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food... You get the same results, only without the dioxin.
So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper.

It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
Plastic wrap, such as Saran wrap, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.

Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Amy and I bought 3 new glass bowls to use in the microwave. They were listed as BPA free and have rubber lids.

Psychology 101 Emergency

What would entice or convince a person to place false hardeners onto their fingers, as in, false fingernails, and create hands that are defenseless and practically useless? What would entice or convince a person to wear short open clothing to give an offender easy access? I wonder how women were conditioned to make themselves into venerable weaklings and not recognize it for what it is...a lie. The best life is for the strongest. The fulfillment of life is found by the wise, for they know the truth. Anything less, is questionable, a tactic perpetrated to keep women down and in their place.

Why I quit watching "The View"

I am not a fan of the Dixie Chicks but the last word of the hot topics chat, the last word whispered by Elisabeth was "traitor." There was no further discussion and this arrow was left thrown out there. One day, and Barbara was on the show, Elisabeth tried to vindicate the Bush policy that torture is morally right when trying to get information from enemies. I know Elisabeth has always attempted to support the president and that is what loyalty is all about, but torture is always morally wrong and for her to try and justify its use was offense and abhorrent. The fact that none of the others on the show argued against her, silence means assent, they let it go. I am not okay with TV people bearing false ethical standards. If there is a question here someone ask her if its okay for little Grace to be tortured by a foreign country when she is a captured military private in a few years. Elisabeth has a voice, a medium, millions of people who tune into the show, and for people to support her beliefs is nothing short of evil. Recently, Oprah interviewed Tom Cruise, who stated that what has the most value in this world for him is loyalty and truth. The guy is an actor. He makes his living pretending things, faking feelings, in short, lying. The better the liar, the better the actor, the more believable his false performance. Here is a guy, the epitome of falseness, declaring his highest value as truth. I am seriously disturbed that I live in a society where ethics comes from TV people. The famous are not the moral. We must all be vigilant to recognize the Devil when he walks into the room, and consider turning off the TV when it has become so obviously EVIL.

Downtown Atlanta drugs...

Channel 46 had a headline news story about a woman who has to walk past street-crack-smoking-junkies in order to walk her dog. The property value of her condo, the neighbors fears, the open drug traffic on the street were major parts of the news story. It was a case of "scary situation" not of "here is what the city is doing to fix it," kind of reporting (even the news guy was a little freaked out to be down there at 10pm on the street). Ahhhh, but that was immediately followed by a report on whether or not to outlaw baggy pants, the Braves triple A team moving to Atlanta from Virginia, and a story on Florida plastic surgery problems. I swear, if Dagmar hadn't have come to the rescue with her Raquel Welch weather, I wouldn't have lasted another minute watching the idiot news. Is there no one at channel 46 who pays attention and grades how serious and concerned citizens need to be about what is happening in the city? How does pant length, baseball or elective surgery rate to the story of the street crackheads downtown? And, really, if anyone cared to actually think about baggy pants, they are a woman's best friend. Any guy wearing them has handicapped himself because he must use one hand to hold them up, he can't run as fast, he can't possibly attack while in such a state. Why would women complain? I love them, show me more!!! I have two good arms and two good legs to use in my defense whereas Iwould be up against a one armed bandit. I just wanted to spout off about the news because the only decent news in all of Atlanta is on channel 2.

Racism is...

The dictionary defines racism as "the notion that one's own ethnic stock is superior." How it is manifested varies, by word and deed. Most "white" people are not part of the Klan and do not believe in "white power" or "white superiority." They become guilty of racism if and when they are blamed for having privileges. Therefore, it is the act of another, being blamed by someone else, that white people become "guilty white people." In a very personal way, I become aware of the fact, from what someone says or does, I become aware of the fact that I am not you, most specifically, I am not black. That is precisely when I become a white person, when you have made me one. I always find that moment offensive. I also find your racism in my face your problem. I don't take it home with me. I don't spend time with it. Your racism is your problem, but you'd better believe, the minute you make me feel "I'm not you, solely based on race," is the minute I recognize you as what you are, racist.
