Ever buy something and once you arrived home decided well I’m not going to use this. Well today I bought a halogen desk light for the amazing price of $4.99. I needed something cheap just for reading. I opened up the box and looked at the extension cord with tags on it, one reading CAUTION: Risk of exposure to excessive ultraviolet radiation. Wow, not only do I get skin cancer but possibly a sunburn too. After doing some Googling I found that some organizations are recommending that manufacturers shield these products to reduce the radiation, why not ban them from being sold. I didn’t expect much from a $4.99 light but not skin cancer. If the toxic air, water and food isn’t killing us then it’s the lights too. Back to reading by candlelight, oh did I mention that burning some candles emits lead into the air LOL.

November 12, 2006Coke Blak the verdict
November 6, 2006In desperation is seems Coke is giving away Coke Blak for free, okay it’s a promotion. Having already tasted the stuff it’s not something I plan on purchasing. This week I grabbed a free sample and headed for my favorite pizza place for a slice. The guy wanted to know what I wanted to drink with my slice and I showed him my bottle of Coke Blak and told him they are handing it out. He said he has a fridge full of the stuff and nobody wants it. This one will go next to the failure of New Coke. Coke is building a warehouse to accommodate all it’s failed products.
