Pay It Forward Day - Dec 1st

This was sent to me by my friend on Facebook. This is such a fantastic idea. I have always wanted to do something like this after seeing the movie Pay It Forward. My Pay it forward idea it to pay for the persons food behind you in line at the drive thru. This really should be an everyday occurrence....

David's 2nd Annual (David Del Mundo is the creator of this event)
Pay It Forward Day
December 1st, 2010

‘Tis the Season! A random act of kindness goes a long way so…

PAY IT FORWARD!!!

What can you do?
ON DEC. 1st...
• Pay for someone’s cup of coffee…
• Buy someone some groceries…
• Get the next person’s gas…
• Help someone out…
• Donate something…
• Be creative!!!

When you do something for someone there’s a good chance they’ll do something for someone else. If not, at least you’ve done a good deed for someone.

So on December 1st share some kindness and spread some joy! It can be as little as a few dollars or as much as you want. No one needs to know!

Join me, won’t you?

(I'm trying to make this a national event so spread the word. Maybe one day it'll be a nationally recognized day!)

I won't be offended if you don't decide to participate, but please... spread the word!

Gardasil is KILLING our young girls

I am a non-vaccing parent. I have done my research and have read many studies. This decision is what I have made for my child. That said, I know each person needs to make their own decision about vaccinating their children. I will not get into all the 'common' vaccines giving to children, but I fell I must warn you about this Gardasil vaccine. In the 4 years it has been around there have been 65 DEATHS reported. That is over 1 death per MONTH. And that is just what was reported. I'm sure many more have occurred due to this vaccine.
Click here on Mercola.com to read all the nasty details of this vaccine that is supposed to prevent cervical cancer by preventing you from getting HPV(a sexually transmitted disease).

Some of the highlights include:

• As of September 28, 2010, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) has more than 18,000 Gardasil-related adverse events listed in it, including at least 65 deaths.
• Only 27 percent of girls who have received the Gardasil vaccine have gotten all three shots in the vaccine's series. Merck blames it on forgetfulness, and has launched a "reminder" program that contacts vaccinees, and urges them to complete the series. CNN Money suggests that it has to do with the vaccine's high cost – just under $400 for a three-shot series, although some private doctors charge up to $875 for a three-shot series. But neither has considered the third possibility – that the reported reactions  girls are suffering after getting one or two shots of Gardasil are so severe that they decide not to go back for more.
• The unfortunate fact is Merck only studied the vaccine in fewer than 1200 girls under age 16, and most of the serious health problems and deaths in the pre-licensure clinical trials were written off as a "coincidence." And now, since those adverse reactions aren't listed as possible warning signs that the vaccine can cause harm, health officials are still ignoring them, even while girls die and others suffer ongoing, and often permanent, injuries and disabilities from it.
• The important thing to know about HPV is that in almost all cases, it clears up on its own without any adverse health effects within two years in most healthy people.
• According to the CDC's report on HPV to Congress in 2004:

"Cervical cancer is an uncommon consequence of HPV infection in women, especially if they are screened for cancer regularly with pap tests and have appropriate follow-up of abnormalities.

This vaccine is just about MONEY. It is KILLING young girls and now it is being marketing to BOYS too. UGH I just want to cry.

Here are more websites with info about Gardasil.

Please don't give this vaccine to your child or yourself. It is not safe or effective.

Be a conscious parent - ask questions, read for yourself, trust your instincts. Your children NEED you to.

Amazon is having a sale on Green Toys. Green Toys are AWESOME! We have this sand set and it is fantastic. All Green Toys are made with 100% recycled milk jugs - no BPAs and no Phalates.

I just got 3 sets of the Sand Set (for gifts) and a Recycling Truck plus 2 books for the hubby for $50.00. I broke it into 2 orders of $25 each to get $5 off of each order (and free shipping).
