... receiving packages from China. Chinese characters are so beautiful. They remind me of snowflakes.

Chinese Export Form

Do you think that the characters circled in pink mean "United States"?

Chinese Characters = US?

I also love Hello Kitty. And I love the bag I got from Hannah in China. Very reasonable. Very well made. Perfect handbag for traveling.

... from a candy bar hotline? [Thanks, Nan!]

Call the Nestle Crunch Hotline at 800-295-0051. When you are asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, just wait quietly for about 10 seconds and you will smile. Promise! Keep going and press 4. Listen to the options and then press 7. If you aren't smiling by now, check and make sure you still have a pulse.

Disturbing Hoosier News

Permalink

According to NWI.COM (online version of The [Hammond] Times), Indiana has the second highest smoking rate in the country. It is difficult to believe that in this day and age, more than a quarter of adults in Hoosierville smoke. Even worse, the percentage has gone up in the last couple of years (unlike most other states, where fewer people are smoking).

What's up, Hoosiers? Do you all not get that smoking is bad for your health??

... the terror we felt as those news reports broke.  Random shootings at a gas station and a Home Depot.  A bus driver ready to start his route.  A crazy person, we said.  Who else would do something like this.  And then relief when the two men were in custody and the shootings stopped.  Sympathy of sorts for the teen.  Rage toward the other, the ringleader.  So much rage.  Maybe that is why it only took 7 years to execute him, instead of the 20+ it often takes for death penalty cases to wind their way through the justice system.  Relatives of the victims say they feel better now.  Really?  When the government does its eye-for-an-eye thing, does it bring back the dead?  Did it heal your broken heart?
