Welcome to my blog

The sky is the limit. All of us see and hear things from time to time that has us thinking, "say it ain't so"! This blog is dedicated to those of us who just can't put up with it anymore: false statements, misquotes, "they said" people, and just right out lies.

Please don't rely on what anyone says (especially me) based on face value. Be informed by doing your own research and don't believe something because that's what "they" say. Who the heck is "they"?

I will also try to stay current with some of the top stories that affects us all everyday.

June 3, 2010 (MOORESVILLE, N.C.) -- It's not just the picture of beef on a new billboard in North Carolina that tries to catch drivers' attention, it's the aroma coming from the sign.

The billboard on N.C. 150 in central North Carolina emits the smell of black pepper and charcoal to promote a new line of beef available at the Bloom grocery chain. Bloom is part of the Salisbury, N.C.-based Food Lion chain.

The billboard shows a fork piercing a piece of meat.

A Bloom spokeswoman says the billboard will emit scents from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day until June 18.

A high-powered fan at the bottom of the billboard spreads the aroma by blowing air over cartridges loaded with fragrance oil.
