A few weeks ago I just happened to pop into a Dollar General store and decided to look for a snack. If you find me in Dollar General, it would be safe to assume that I do not want to spend much. So, I spent one dollar. The snack I got was just absolutely delicious - truly hard to put down.
Are you curious? Are you hungry? Are you getting the car keys?
Caramel Coconut Tips - a Homestyle Candy made by Crown. Round pieces of candy, maybe about one inch in diameter. They were so good. It was truly hard to stop at a few. The Caramel flavor was delicious, and yet seemed to be unique in some way.
So, next time you have opportunity to pop into Dollar General, make sure you save one dollar for some yummy Caramel Coconut Tips. Hopefully, they will have them in stock. Be assured, I am not sharing mine!
Somebody has already traveled this road!

Starbucks Coffee - Great Coffee
The bag of coffee beans has been empty for at least two weeks, and still when I squeeze it I cannot believe the wonderful coffee aroma that rushes at my nose. Yes!
We are talking about Starbucks, House Blend.
Tasting notes = Lively, Balanced
Flavor Intensity = Medium
Origin = Latin America
And yes, I did buy whole bean coffee so it would be as fresh as possible.
About House Blend
(from the bag) "When we opened our first store in Seattle's Pike Place Market, we wanted a House Blend that captured the signature expression of our roasting style - glistening, dark chestnut beans loaded with flavor. Years later, it's still why people come through our doors. House Blend has a wonderful balance of body, crisp acidity, nut and cocoa notes, and a touch of sweetness from the roast."
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy Starbucks with a slice of banana nut bread and an overstuffed chair.
Latin American
"In Latin America, hundreds of years of coffee tradition have passed along the ritual of washing coffee beans free of their sticky, protective "honey." This washing process imprints all of the coffee grown there with a crisp flavor and palate-cleansing activity."
Starbucks Shared Planet (Eco-Crap)
100% Responsibly Grown, Ethically Traded.
"That means the coffee in this bag is helping to create a better future for farmers and a more stable climate for the planet. Because we've always believed in a better cup of coffee."
Exclusivity
"Only 3% of the coffee grown around the world is good enough to make it into a bag of Starbucks coffee. And it's always 100% arabica.
There you have it - everything you wanted to know about my recent Starbucks experience.

The Truth About Airport Security
Not until today had I heard the truth about airport security concerns and what happened on Thanksgiving. It kind of makes me mad that mainstream media is so willing to deceive the masses. Turns out that Big Sis lost this one.
"Big Sis’s security talk is nothing more than hot air. If the scanners were so imperative to keep us safe from terrorists then why did the TSA turn them off in a vain effort to score political points?"
Big Sis must be damned either way. She is damned for implementing harassment security. She is also damned for deciding to change security protocol for the sake of political crowd control. Tell me, why did people have to put up with groping, when it can be stopped at Big Sis' whim.

Grope and Change
While reading an article today, I came across a revealing phrase"
Janet Incompetano's "grope and change" policies.
Do you know what it is referring to?
The actual name is Janet Napolitano who is head of Homeland Security. There once was a 'historical' president that campaigned on the theme "hope and change". But this says grope!
The topic is airport security measures and how they are implemented by TSA employees. When people became aware of how revealing the full body scan images were, many became uneasy about participating. The fact that TSA employees were gawking at the images and making jokes did not help either.
People who declined the full body scan were told that they would need to go through a pat down procedure. This was expected and initially a big problem for the travellers. However, the TSA employees resented the travellers because of the extra work. It was at this time that we started to hear complaints from people about how intense the pat down procedure was getting.
Apparently, at about the same time, Incompetano had issued a directive saying just how intense these pat downs should be. You've all seen the news reports, so I need not repeat them here. It would appear that so far they are stopping just short of body cavity searches, but everything else is fair game.
Women passengers have testified of feeling molested and are in tears after the pat down. Incompetano and her TSA goons are ruthless, they do not care at all because they are deluded into thinking this is keeping people safe from terrorists.
Ann Coulter has written a wonderful article on this topic and here is what she suggests you may soon here the TSA agents announcing:
"Please have your genitalia out and ready to be fondled when you approach the security checkpoint."
What a perfect time for the sexual perverts of the land to come out and save the country. They could fly often and make the TSA agents wish they had never shoved their hands down someones pants. Go Pervs!

This is probably a good thing, but it may take some getting used to.
