Yikers--frogs everywhere

Frog Migration: Omen to China Earthquake Disaster

On May 5th there were frogs everywhere in China and then on May 12th a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit. Many Chinese thought the frogs were a bad omen when they saw them.

Good grief! Frogs hopping madly everywhere would freak me out. I am already terrified about locust time being here. So far I haven't seen any except for the dry skins they crawl out of--icky! I can't wait until it's over and they go away again for their big sleep!!!!

I got this picture from Weird Asia News

lost $200

Went to Walmart this morning for my monthly giving all my money away to the real "Uncle Sam". Yeah Walmart runs this country. I tried to boycott it several years ago, but due to my favorite grocery store closing and the other local store sucking (dirty and limp, rotten produce) I have been forced to shop there. I had thoughts of driving to another store out of the area but gas prices have shut that idea down many moons ago. It's hard to pay for gas just to get to work nowadays.
Anyhoo the monthly mugging was worse than usual this morning. I broke down and bought a couple pairs of shorts and a pair of Lee jeans. And with the usual >$100 in food I was just a little wilted dandelion by the time I got out to the car. Damn Walmart!
So to keep on with my bitch fest: I was upset that there were so many employees stocking shelves - everywhere! It's hard to look, ponder and put stuff in your buggy if you can't get to it. And even worse when the employees are acting like it's you that is in the way. Damn Walmart!
I always go on Sunday mornings before church lets out but I guess I was taking too long or maybe too many other people have my idea because it got crowded too quick. I like being able to ponder what I'm buying without interruption and also not run into people I know (then it really does take too much time). Well, at least I do have the sense not to go at the first of the month.
Damn Walmart!

POPE posting

The Pope just pisses me off on several different levels. The main one today is that he is taking over the damn channels. He's on the channel where a movie I wanted to watch was scheduled. Damn.
For a brief moment I am worrying about saying damn in a post about the Pope (why am I capitalizing it?). Then I started to kind of get cracked up about "pope posting". Then that thought lead to thinking about how things and people have immunity at the vatican (no capitals-haha).

You know-- what happens at the vatican, stays at the vatican.

Sounds like a party. Then of course, a real question..... how come Michael Jackson just doesn't go stay at the vatican??! He'd be safe from all that legal crap.

I get a perverse pleasure from passing cars that have the #3 on them.

Cotton Candy Cocaine

U.S.Federal drug agents say candy-flavored cocaine is a new and troubling development and are hoping to keep it from spreading to the rest of the country after its recent emergence in California.Drug rings have occasionally sold cocaine mixed with candy powder, but investigators said the new product was significantly more sophisticated and lucrative. Cocaine cut with an added flavoring is less potent, but the 1½ pounds seized last month were a full-strength powder into which strawberry, coconut, lemon and cinnamon flavoring had been chemically synthesized.
The flavored cocaine would command $1,100 to $1,400 an ounce on the street, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said after DEA agents and state investigators seized the flavored drugs at two homes in Modesto, Calif. Regular powder cocaine, by comparison, fetches $600 to $700 an ounce, the agency said.
I read this story @ MSNC The accompanying pic looked like what I would expect the sugar to make cotton candy to look like. And I love cotton candy. But have never done drugs. If I have that reaction, I can imagine how easy it would be to get a young naive kid to "just try it". Smart marketing for the drug dealers--bad for anyone who is in the position of being around it. Including the DEA dudes.
But seeing the sick reality of it, I can just imagine some uppity shallow chick making her new boyfriend pay high dollar for the flavored coke. I predict it to happen in a movie
