I facepalm over most of her statuses, sister. Most of them are of the same degree. I don’t understand why her friends/family had to join the conversation either. Just because she posted it doesn’t mean it warranted any further input from anyone other than those concerned…
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Sometimes I wonder how you stand dealing with her. I mean, her boyfriend works and schools all day, right? So he has tiring days as well. Where does she think that just because she did that she can act like that? Like…I just don’t understand.
Classic Pledge of Allegiance
I’m pretty sure Under God was added in the 40s or 50s for a more wholesome pledge because of the wars and whatnot (fact check me, I don’t mind), but it’s just a bunch of malarkey. This is the better version of the pledge… it’s more accepting and uniting without the religious blurb.
added in ‘53. Because we wanted to separate ourselves from the USSR.
We also used to have to do the Bellamy salute when pledging to the flag but after the Nazi’s adopted that salute it was discontinued and replaced with the hand over heart we know today.
Also I agree, the original was more encompassing and uniting.

Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don’t have a pet, please pass this to those who do.
Over the weekend, the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. The dogs loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog (Calypso) decided the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn’t acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Halfway through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.
Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company’s web site,
This product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.
Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey’s, and they claim that “It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won’t eat it.”
*Snopes site gives the following information:http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp.asp>
Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman’s Garden Supply and other garden supply stores contains a lethal ingredient called ‘Theobromine’. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks.
Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker’s chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.
**PLEASE PASS THIS ON**

Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.
Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to…
See what he did there…by saying “fuck” in the announcement of the acquisition of Tumblr, he assuaged concern that Yahoo would censor Tumblr. Clever. David Karp also just made $250M…so I’m not surprised he’s saying “Fuck yeah!” right now.
