Is that okay?

"You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?"

Something to think about

Something to think about. . . . . . .
 
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else and perhaps even their job.

So, after reading this email, I think this lady is on the right track. Let's get behind her!!

My grandson likes Hershey's candy.  It is marked made in Mexico now.  I do not buy
it any more.  
My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico now.
I have switched to Crest.  You have to read the labels on everything.

This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 6 light bulbs and Bounce dryer
Sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle and right next to the GE brand I normally buy   was
an off brand labeled, "Everyday Value."   I picked up both types of bulbs and
compared the stats - they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs
were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised
me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA in a company in Cleveland,Ohio .

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that
are made right here, in the USA.

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep, you guessed it, 
Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada. The Everyday Value" brand was less money  and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half the price!

So my challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that IS made in the USA - the job you save may
be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so we
can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from China, Mexico, etc. 
(We should have awakened a decade ago......)

Let's get with the program.... help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the U.S.A. !!!

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
