That sounds like a heck of a combination doesn't it? I got an email from Frank's brother in law Jim I want to share with you but first a little story about my adorable but pesky cat Faxon, LOL.
For months now Faxon has decided mommy doesn't need to sleep at night. Generally Frank comes to bed around 2am and you can bet within a half an hour Faxon is sitting on my head pawing and licking my face trying to get me up. I have no idea why!! I get up and check his food bowl, plenty there but I give it a stir. He doesn't even look at it. So I walk around the house to see if something is amiss. Nothing out of the ordinary! I tromp back to bed. Yup, within 15 minutes to a half hour, Faxon is back on my head pawing and licking again. I push him off me. He is right back at it. This goes on until I finally give up and get up.
I thought it might be because we recently lost Missy. But this has been going on for much longer than that. Even before Missy started to fail. Currently the little angel boy is asleep at my feet as I sit here at the computer. What's up with that??? I really hate to have to start caging him at night but I might not have a choice if this doesn't stop soon. I am exhausted. Months without quality sleep is taking its toll. If you have any ideas what might be causing him to do this please let me know.
Now for the email. This should have been posted before May 1st but I just got it this morning. I think we can all pitch in and do our part. I realize American made products do cost more the the quality is well worth it. As you all know I make ceramics. I use American made glazes and paints. All of which are certified lead free and non toxic. Think about that the next time you buy dishes made in China. Are you sure you want to eat off of them?
Here is the email,,,,,,,,
Did you see that Diane Sawyer has a special report coming up this week? They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA .
There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they are going to show truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything and will be talking about how to find these items and the difference in price etc..
It was interesting that Diane said that if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs!
WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA’
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '
I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think while the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets?
70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on May 1st and continue it until June 1st. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and
lawlessness were worth it.
Remember, MAY 1 TO JUNE 1st !!!!!!
START NOW.
