Last night I went to Walmart and when I returned home I noticed something really strange about all of the items I had bought!

I looked at my items over and over again in total shock of what was printed on each of the items!

I had bought eight dinner plates, eight salad plates, eight cerial bowls, drinking glasses, picture hanging stuff, a five gallon plastic bucket and multiple other small items.

The shock was that all the items said made in the U.S.A.. What are the odds of buying just over 50 items in Walmart and everything was made in the U.S.A.?

It has to be like winning the Lotto that not one item was made in china, India or some other Country that hates America!

I guess you can still find items made in the U.S. if you really look.

I just moved 6.87 miles from Canton to just inside Romulus Michigan.

I had to renew my auto insurance and I noticed it went up $115. I was told it went up because I moved to Romulus and that more cars are stolen and there are more collisions in this city.

I told the agent I dont have collision nor theft on the car so why would it go up? I couldnt get an answer that made any sense and was told thats just the way it is.

The truth is my car is much safer here than it was in Canton because in Canton we had a community parking lot out of site and hearing of the apartment I lived in!

In Romulus I have private parking right next to my home in direct sight and sound if anyone was to try something. Also when my car is parked for the night it also sits less than 30 feet from a fire hydrant and how many people can say that? lol

It would be nice if I could get a reasonable answer how 6.87 miles makes such a difference!

I wrote this blog around a year ago and with gas hitting $4 a gallon I wonder if opinions have changed or have stayed the same?

Would you be willing to trade some safety in cars to improve fuel mileage?

The auto producers are under constant pressure to make cars safer and at the same time Congress is demanding the miles per gallon to go up dramatically as well!

The safety devices on a vehicle can add up to over half a ton in weight and has made many cars go backwards in fuel economy!

The 1986 Honda Civic DX received 52 mpg city and 57 mpg highway compared to the 2007 model that receives 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway!

With all the mandatory safety devices the Honda weighs more than 700 pounds more than it did in 1986!

Would you be willing to trade some of these safety devices to have your fuel mileage go up dramatically?

This week I saw a news spot on a local tv show where they mentioned what to do if someone has swallowed a poisoness substance!

They were right on the money as far as telling people to call poison control as soon as possible letting them know how much of what product had been swallowed! Poison control will then give you instructions on what to do.

There is one thing not mentioned in the newscast that may be the difference between life and death if done right away! It is so simple and may give you a small window of time til you are able to get the person to the hospital.

Simply lay the person on their left side .........................

By doing this you aid breathing and it slows the progress of the ingested poison circulating within the bloodstream.

I learned this in my EMT classes and I thought  it may be helpful just in case the situation happens to one of your family members.

Im a Emergency Medical Technician and in the last year I worked to pass a law to make it mandatory for all ambulances in the State of Michigan to carry Heart Defibrillators!!! In 2005 only around 20% of private ambulances carried them!!! Because I passed the law several organizations have me on a job black list and will not hire me!!! It doesnt matter because I recently became an EMT to save lives and by having Defibrillators on all ambulances many lives will be saved!!! In my spare time I also collect unusual antique stuff and I have a large Faygo collection dating back to 1921!!!
