I don’t know how or why I didn’t hear about the recall on Rolaids! Yesterday my wife went grocery shopping, and I had put Rolaids on the shopping list. I use a lot of Rolaids, and we buy them in the 100 count bottle. The fruit flavor is our favorite. Well when my wife came back from grocery shopping I saw that she didn’t buy a bottle of Rolaids! She had bought a small box that had three rolls in it.

She told me that she had looked for the bottles, but the shelves for the bottles were empty, so she bought what she could find. I didn’t believe her that they would be empty! She told me that there had been a recall on them! Well, I went online and googled “Rolaids recall” and sure enough, there IS a big recall out on the Rolaids! I wonder why I hadn’t heard about it – the recall was announced last month! It MUST have been covered in the news, right? Did any of you out there know about the recall?

I heard that they are now saying that over 200 thousand people have lost their lives due to the earthquake in Haiti. That is an amazingly high number of lives lost due to Mother Nature being pissed of! It is good to hear of all of the money that is being raised to help the victims, people pulling together is always a good thing. We need more of that in our daily lives, we’d all be better off.

What a terrible event

I was so surprised and saddened to hear about the earthquake that hit Haiti!  So many people killed or injured.  So many buildings ruined!  I cannot even begin to imagine the horror that those people are experiencing.  I hope that the humanitarian efforts are successful.  I was talking to my nephew just the other day about how he might want to volunteer to join the Red Cross and become part of a disaster relief team.  I wonder now if this tragedy will motivate him at all to look further into it.

I have to say that I’m very disappointed about how much weight the passing of one entertainer has in the presentation of the news. There are a lot of things going on in this world that is newsworthy, but the news is focused mainly on the passing of Michael Jackson. Yes he WAS a great entertainer, and I’m sorry that he has died but he really should not be the biggest story we are hearing about! I will be glad when the news media finds something else to report on!
