Remembering people all the time...

Call me old fashioned but i think that when someone takes the time to send you a card or gift in the mail or however, that one should take the time to personally thank them. Email, text or Facebook messages are not personal at all....what has happened to us when we can have a cell phone pasted to the side of our head but can't take the time to actually call someone and talk to them? We have lost what is important, before you know it, or maybe it is already happening, when someone is terribly ill or dying or dead... well they better read their email to see how much their friends are praying for them and/or caring for them. They do have computers etc in intensive care right? I mean I would hate for the person to die without reading their messages first! They may die never knowing how many really cared about them, but did not have the time to call.♥

Chicken Alert!

Consumer Reports' latest test of fresh, whole broilers bought in 22 states reveals that two-thirds of birds tested harbored salmonella and/or campylobacter, the leading bacterial causes of food-borne disease. The report reveals that organic "air-chilled" broilers were among the cleanest and that Perdue was found to be the cleanest of the brand-name chicken. Tyson and Foster Farms chickens were found to be the most contaminated. The report is available, free online (note, you have to click through the side bars to the left of the story) and in the January 2010 issue of the magazine. Click the link to read more:
