So, my mother has decided since I have male friends, this makes me some kind of whore. She has managed to tell several members of my family that my son, who has blond hair (my mother has blond hair) belongs to a red haired friend of mine, Not my husband. This seriously is stupid shit. I have never displayed such behavior for her to even say things like this and to be honest I think she just likes drama. This isn't the first time she has said dumb shit like this. What should I do? She denies EVER saying such things, but all my family says otherwise. So I know she is saying it. I am concerned that she is spreading this stuff and it will eventually be whispered around my kids, who do not deserve to be put in the middle of her drama. This is why I am pissed.

ROFLMFAO

Neat! I wonder what else is out there we have yet to find....

How sad.
When I purchase Bluesky sodas in a 6 pack I always cut the rings so an animal dosn't get caught in them. I saw that on Nick Jr. when I was a kid and about being aware of your trash. Weird the stuff I remember.

LMAO My work blocks this video calling it "obscene and tasteless". Guess, I'll have to wait till I get home.

Now this one I did know about.
So, Military force can be used, such as ,tasers and rubber bullets but american's right to bare arms is slowly be tickled away from us with the continous of new laws prohibiting where guns can be carried? You can't use a gun in 'self defence' anymore without being under serious investigation and possible jail time. Wtf? Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves as our constitution slowly decenegrates in the hands of these pigs. I swear we are going to end up like the poor animals in ANIMAL FARM. If you have no clue what that is, go read the book or rent the cartoon. I think it's worth it.

All that wasted plastic.
\ They should make everyone pay a bottle deposit on all plastic containers so people would recycle them.I agree. They should make people pay deposits on a lot of things, like plastic bags at grocery stores. There is a lot of plastic wasted there and not everyone is catching on to the cloth bag idea.

Bottled water has contaminants too, study finds

Buzz up!
Sweden's second city Gothenburg has decided to stop buying bottled water due to environmental concerns and will only provide civil servants with tap water, a city councillor said Thursday.(AFP/File/Teh Eng Koon)- Tests on leading brands of bottled water turned up a variety of contaminants often found in tap water, according to a study released Wednesday by an environmental advocacy group.
The findings challenge the popular impression — and marketing pitch — that bottled water is purer than tap water, the researchers say.
However, all the brands met federal health standards for drinking water. Two violated a California state standard, the study said.
An industry group branded the findings "alarmist." Joe Doss, president of the International Bottled Water Association, said the study is based on the faulty premise that a contaminant is a health concern "even if it does not exceed the established regulatory limit or no standard has been set."
The study's lab tests on 10 brands of bottled water detected 38 chemicals including bacteria, caffeine, the pain reliever acetaminophen, fertilizer, solvents, plastic-making chemicals and the radioactive element strontium. Though some probably came from tap water that some companies use for their bottled water, other contaminants probably leached from plastic bottles, the researchers said.
"In some cases, it appears bottled water is no less polluted than tap water and, at 1,900 times the cost, consumers should expect better," said Jane Houlihan, an environmental engineer who co-authored the study.
The two-year study was done by the Washington-based Environmental Working Group, an organization founded by scientists that advocates stricter regulation. It found the contaminants in bottled water purchased in nine states and Washington, D.C.
Researchers tested one batch for each of 10 brands. Eight did not have contaminants high enough to warrant further testing. But two brands did, so more tests were done and those revealed chlorine byproducts above California's standard, the group reported. The researchers identified those two brands as Sam's Choice sold by Wal-Mart and Acadia of Giant Food supermarkets.
In the Wal-Mart and Giant Food bottled water, the highest concentration of chlorine byproducts, known as trihalomethanes, was over 35 parts per billion. California's limit is 10 parts per billion or less, and the industry's International Bottled Water Association makes 10 its voluntary guideline. The federal limit is 80.
Wal-Mart said its own studies did not turn up illegal levels of contaminants. Giant Food officials released a statement asserting that Acadia meets all regulatory standards. Acadia is sold in the mid-Atlantic states, so it isn't held to California's standard. In most places, bottled water must meet roughly the same federal standards as tap water.
The researchers also said the Wal-Mart brand was five times California's limit for one particular chlorine byproduct, bromodichloromethane. The environmental group wants Wal-Mart to label its bottles in California with a warning because the chlorine-based contaminants have been linked with cancer. It has filed a notice of intent to sue.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Shannon Frederick said the company was "puzzled" by the findings because testing by suppliers and another lab had detected no "reportable amounts" of such contaminants. She said Wal-Mart would investigate further but defended the quality of its bottled water.
The researchers recommend that people worried about water contaminants drink tap water with a carbon filter.
**why am I not surprised?

Shocking Survey: Sex and Teen Girls

Survey: Unprotected sex common among teens
On average, girls lose virginity at 15; some are having sex at school
Tyra Banks ‘shocked’ by teen sex crisis
Nov. 14: “The Tyra Banks Show” surveyed 10,000 young women across the country about sex and found shocking results. TODAY’s Matt Lauer talks about the survey with the show’s host, Tyra Banks.

Parents, brace yourselves: The survey results are in, and you may not like what they reveal about girls and sex.
More than 10,000 teenage girls and young women took part in an anonymous survey over the summer on TyraShow.com, the Web site of “The Tyra Banks Show.” Survey questions focused on sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy, as well as drinking, drugs and violence among females. Here are some findings from the survey:
Story continues below ↓
“What surprised me most on the survey is that the girls were so honest, and I think the reason why they were so honest is because the survey was anonymous,” retired model and daytime TV host Tyra Banks told TODAY co-anchor Matt Lauer on Friday. But when some of girls surveyed came onto her show and described their sexual activities, “I was shocked again,” she added. "I don’t think they were trying to be sensational. I really do believe that they were telling the truth.”
Open talk about diseases, pregnancies
On “The Tyra Banks Show” airing Friday, eight girls ranging in age from 14 to 17 discuss the survey findings and share their own personal experiences. Seven of the eight say they are sexually active; of those seven, just one says she uses protection when having sex.
“A lot of the guys, if I didn’t have unprotected sex with them, they would get mad at me and I still wanted that closeness with them,” one girl says during the show. “I was afraid if I didn’t do what they wanted, they wouldn’t be my friend.”
The same girl talks about how she tested positive for chlamydia twice and also contracted genital herpes.
“I’m ashamed that I have it, but it’s something I want other people to be aware of,” she says.
Another girl, a 17-year-old mother of a 7-month-old boy, says she lost her virginity on a school lunch break and deliberately planned her pregnancy by monitoring her menstrual cycle.
“I had helped teach a sex-ed class to a class of freshmen my sophomore year,” she explains. “We taught how … there’s a week [in] the month you are more likely to get pregnant than any other time of the month. I had calculated that out and I decided on two days I was most likely to get pregnant.”
Girls on the show also talk about experimenting with the drugs salvia and Ecstasy and getting into violent fights with other girls.
‘Adolescents need help’
Dr. Elizabeth Schroeder, executive director of Answer, a teen sex education program based at Rutgers University, said the survey results sound plausible and are consistent with other research on teen sexuality.
“This so clearly points to the need for comprehensive sexual education for kids,” Schroeder said. “An adolescent … is supposed to be making poor decisions. Developmentally this is the way they’re supposed to be behaving. They need help ....
“Parents need help talking with their kids about sexuality, and schools need to be talking to kids about sexuality.”
Banks told Lauer that this kind of communication simply isn't happening for many teens.
“They are not talking to their parents; they’re embarrassed to talk to their parents,” Banks said. “And more than them being embarrassed to talk to their parents, their parents are embarrassed to talk to them. So they're finding all [about] sex education with their friends, with their peers.
“I asked one of the girls, ‘Where are you doing it?’ ” Banks added. “She said, ‘In the bathroom, and the janitor caught us.’ ”
But Schroeder said it’s important to keep the issue of teens actually having sex at school in perspective. “If 14 percent of teens are having sex in school, that means 86 percent are not having sex in school,” she says. “People have to hear the statistics and hear that it’s not everybody.”
Banks also told TODAY that girls appear to be more sexually active than ever before. A 16-year-old girl interviewed on “The Tyra Banks Show” says she had sex for the first time at 13. Since then, she has had nine sex partners and has contracted sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes.
“When they told me I was crying really bad … because it was something I have to live with for the rest of my life,” the girl says during the episode.
The girl also says she’s never addressed the issue with the boy who gave her herpes.
“I never confronted him about it,” she says. “I’ve always been scared.”
“It hurts me, because my mission in life is to raise the self-esteem of young girls,” Banks told Lauer on TODAY. “But I didn’t know that it was that low.”
