I Don't Give a Bleep About-Fast Foods

I love to cook!! I try daily to risk the temptation to go to a fast food place for lunch. America has fallen into that food trap. I don't know if you guys saw Supersize Me,where a man eats a lot of fast food every day and suffers consequences.

As a society we have just gotten faster. We want everything yesterday.We want to come home from work, pop that tv dinner into the microwave, nuke the hell out of it in 5 minutes or less, then eat.




REAL FOOD!!!



What happened to (like when I was growing up) that we had a home cooked meal. (and had to wash dishes-which I hated). Where has the smell of a nice pot roast with those little baby potatoes gone?





The dumps are filled with miles and miles of Styrofoam. I know what happened, people don't know how to cook anymore. Growing up if you couldn't cook (and you were a girl) that was unheard of.

Now, when a man asks his wife or woman what's for dinner-she pulls out some money and says, 'Yo Quiero Taco Bell!

I Don't Give A Bleep About-Victoria Secret

What is so "secret" about Victoria. You know back in the beginning when Victoria Secret started, it was this "fantasy" lingerie. You know sexy, alluring, the whole nine yards. The kind of stuff hat let 12 year old boys spend extra time in the bathroom. Now I look at their collection and it is like where is the sexy stuff? When the heck did they get shoes, handbags, and all these other accessories. When you go on their website, it does show bras, panties, but when you into their stores they have makeup, cologne, lotions, and everything else.

I am calling them out in this post. Vicky baby you selling out! You getting too durn commercialized. Sometimes when you stray to far from what's working for you it doesn't pay off. I got to give it up to the fact they are trying to get some stuff for the "full figured" women. I love my curves. Gives a man something to hold onto.

So Victoria get back to the sexy stuff. Leave the other stuff for Macy's.

I Don't Give a Bleep About-Artificial Nails

I use to wear artificial nails (about 2 years ago I stopped), then I sat down one day and counted the amount of money I spent to pay to get my nails done. I could of bought a whole new dining room set with that money.

I type a lot (well, heck who doesn't if they are own a blog), and sometimes it is difficult to do so with nails. The real reason I stopped though was due to an article I saw on nail fungus and the damage it can do. Some of the grossest pictures I ever saw.

Then their are the nail salons. Do Americans own nail salons anymore. I was thinking of taking a Vietnamese language course or a Chinese language course because these are mostly who own all the local nail shops in my area.

Since I stopped getting artificial nails placed on my hands, not only has there been a savings, but my own, natural nails have grown. I do keep them manicured.

This one lady said she used them because they were excellent in picking her nose. Wow, buying and 20 dollar nail set to pick my nose just seems like a waste of money, (but it could be just me).

I Don't Give a Bleep About-Cinco De Mayo

Why did my co worker take off today because she is "extending" her celebration of Cinco De Mayo? what? Since I have Latino in my family ancestry I understand the importance of recognizing ones history, but why is my Jewish (New York City born) co worker taking a day off to celebate a Mexican commemoration day?

Well according to VivaCincodeMayo.com, "Mexico declared its independence from Span on midnight, September 15th 1810. However on May 5th 1862 4,000 Mexican Soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla Mexico."The site states the Mexican soldiers in gratitude for the supplies by the American Army, they crossed the border and many joined the United States Armed Forces (after Pearl Harbor), to fight for the continued freedom of America.

Okay, so let me get this straight, we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but we patrol the borders of Mexico daily to make sure the folks picking the oranges, limes and other produce grown in America stay out. huh?





Now do you see why I don't give a bleep? Hypocrisy is not a good thing to exhibit.


VIVA DE REVOLUTION!!

I Don't Give A Bleep About- Caller ID

Caller ID is available to almost anyone. It basically the ability to transmit a caller's number to the called party's telephone equipment during the ringing signal. This can provide a name associated with the calling telephone number. The information can then be available on a telephone display or a separate device.


Remember the days when we didn't have caller Id, and people actually "answered their calls?" Well, thanks to our dear telemarketers we have had to implement this much needed device. How many of us go through the day where we get solicited for products numerous times.

I am not going to lie though I use my caller ID on my friends too. I don't have it on my cell phone, but I do have it on my home phone. Yes, sometimes I have some folks (generally it is one specific one-he knows who he is) who I just ignore, until I can deal with answering him. No, seriously he is so annoying.

I know some folks are against phone screening, but sometimes it is really necessary.

I Don't Give A Bleep About- Bras

When are these manufacturers going to realize that they need to stop putting wires in bras. Who invented this device anyway . the brasserie, (hmmm...I bet it was a man). Seriously a recent study by Harvard University Professor garnered these results.

• Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (in their study, n=2056 for the cancer group and n=2674 for the standard group).
  
• Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk.
  
• Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 152 risk.
  
• Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer. The overall difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all was a 125-fold difference.

Another study currently being worked on is wheter study whether benign fibrocystic breast disease can be treated by stopping bra-wearing for eight weeks.

Years ago, many people thought that the idea of cigarettes causing lung cancer was funny. Even if further research with highly controlled studies only shows a difference of 5-fold, or even 2-fold, it will be no laughing matter.

This was a wake up call for me. Especially bras that have underwire.



I know many women can relate to their bra strap breaking (at some point in their life) and using some contraption to hold it up. However, when the wire breaks through the material and pokes your sides, leaving some medieval piercing, you wonder why you bother.

You look at some countries where bras are pretty much obsolete, then you notice these countries are on National Geographic and the breasts are sweeping the ground.

I don't give a bleep about Bras, but I guess in today's society you have to keep things underwrap (er..no pun intended).
