China And The Recalls

Hello Shoppers,
We have been hearing about all the recalls for China made products from food to toys and more. China makes 80% of all the toys in the U.S. that is a lot of toys. But if you look at most of our products you will see that they are made in China. So that means that we are putting our trust in these products, but now we find out that China is painting our kids toys with lead pant. Lead pant has been banded from the U.S. sense 1978. So why is it that China is using these pants? They are coming out and saying that Matel Toys are telling them to use these pants. Lets get real, why would our toy companies tell someone to make toys that would harm our kids when they have kids of their own that play with the same toys? We need to demand the answers from these companies this is our kids we are talking about.

Lets go to another product that has been recalled from China, tires for our cars is one big one. They recalled millions of them because China did not put the safety band in the tires that stops the tire from unraveling if it blows out. We have had deaths in the U.S. because of this, the tire would blow out and then rap around the cars excel and flip it. So now is China going to say that our car companies told them to make these tires? And if our companies did say that then shame on them. Again we need to demand answers from these companies.

Now comes all the food that has been recalled from, you know it China. From human food to pet food, these foods had very toxic chemicals in them. Luckily no human deaths from this, but there was some pet deaths. So I ask, what the heck is going on with all these recalls from China? We must ask is China doing this knowing it will make us sick? Or is the companies in the U.S. trying to cut cost on their products? I hope not!

We must let China and other country's know that we will not put up with these type of products coming into our country. Remember this is our kids we need to think about. Until next time, STAY SHOPPING!!

Health Care In U.S. Can't Even Help Little Baby Cole

You may be asking who is Little Baby Cole, a 5 year old boy that has a disease that is unknown to doctors in the U.S.

From birth Little Baby Cole's parents knew that there was something wrong, because Little Baby Cole did not react to thing like, not crying, wait loss, and did not breath right. They said that he had a thing called softening of the air way.

At the age of 3 months his parents started to go all over to try and find out what was wrong. Now Little Baby Cole started to go through a sires of many many test. These test would go on for the next 2 years.
At 9 months Little Baby Cole said his first words.(mom & momma) These would be the last words he would ever say again. Then he lost his hearing and had to have tubs put in his ears.

At 14 months Little Baby Cole had his first seizure that lasted for 1 hour, now he has seizures that last 2 to 3 hours. Now they are saying that everything is slowly shutting down in his body.

Today at 5 years old when other kids are starting school, Little Baby Cole can not walk, talk, cry, use the bathroom with out being given a enema every 3 days. He is unable to eat right, must be feed with a syringe most of the time.

The doctors now say that there is nothing that they can do for Little Baby Cole. I say that there must be something out there we can do.

If you buy something from my store at; http://jerry2525.fscstore.com I will donate 20% of profits to Little Baby Cole. Thank - You for being at reader of my blog and remember, STAY SHOPPING!!

Hay Shoppers We Are At The 5 Best Little Towns

Hello Shoppers,

Yes, we are at the 5 Best Little Towns and they are looking good. Before we get to them let me remind you, I do have a great talk show on Blog Talk Radio. All you need to do is go to the right of my blog here and go down to Jerry's Radio Show and click on the button and you are there. I talk about a lot of things dealing with shopping, this is your chance to talk to me live. So come and join the shopping fun. Now lets get to the last of the 100 Best Little Towns In The U.S.A.



#5 Saugatuck/Douglas, MI

Being from MI I know all of these little towns, and they are great towns. And I am not just saying this because I live here. They are great towns! These side-by-side Lake Michigan shore villages are so artsy, resident take for granted having their portraits painted. Their likenesses hang in one of the 40 galleries that liberally mingle with an appealing collection of boutiques. Visitors not only find original art adorning studio windows, but also they get accustomed to encountering sculptures on almost every corner in Saugatuck (population: 1,050) and Douglas (population: 1,200). Artists set up easels among the swimmers and sunbathers enjoying the crescent of white sand to capture Oval Beach (considered one of the country's best) on canvas. Summer also brings an acclaimed film festival and jazz and chamber music series. A lot of great shopping and fun, what more can you ask for?



#4 Madison, IN.

Towering limestone bluffs and the Ohio River frame picturesque Madison, an old riverboat port of 12,400 are on the National Historic Register, with buildings dating to 1817. Antiques dealers fill the district, which has served as a model for preservation of other towns. A brick river walk leads visitors close to touring riverboats that regularly dock with loads of vacationers, and a stroll through Madison's hilly streets provides glimpses of lush gardens around grand old homes, some converted to inns. Drives out of town meander to several award-wining wineries, some of the area's best bike trails and Clifty Falls State Park, where seven waterfalls flow.



#3 Galena, IL

The preservation movement in this old lead mining town (population: 3,600) has effectively defined the trend toward small towns reinventing themselves. Framed by northwestern Illinois hills, the business district's century old buildings now house more then 90 shops filled with antiques, home accessories and art. Some 50 inns and hotels welcome travelers, and restaurants serve seemingly every taste. And the effect is spreading to surrounding towns like Savanna. If Main Street or the many festivals get too crowded, escape with a hot-air balloon ride, carriage tour, spa treatment or pottery class, part of a new hands-on arts scene. A great place to shop.



#2 Petoskey/Charlevoix, MI

Yes, another MI town that makes 11 towns. So 11 out of 100 Best Little Towns are in Mi, must be a great place to visit. These neighboring resort towns along the Lower Peninsula's northwestern shore began entertaining vacationers who came by steamship more than a century ago. No wonder they're so good at it, offering an ever growing to do list for travelers and a relaxed attitude. Petoskey (population: 600) clmbs hills along Little Traverse Bay, and Charlevoix (population: 3,000) nestles between Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix 17 miles southwest. The beach and harbor are steps from the 100 shops and galleries of Petoskey's Gaslight District and landmark Stafford's Perry Hotel. Charlevoix boutiques string along the waterfront. Local restaurants, including Andante (fine dining; bay views) and Jesperson's (good pie) deliver memorable meals. In the warmer months, visitors golf at the Inn at Bay Harbor, a first class resort with courses heralded as the Midwest's Pebble Beach. Now the number one Best Little Town, and no it is not in MI.



#1 Ephraim/Fish Creek, WI

Who needs New England? The Midwest has its own coastal charm around the Great Lakes, and our top towns, located in Door County, are the best examples of it. The 80- mile- along Door Peninsula extends into Lake Michigan on Wisconsin's east side, creating more than 300 miles of coastline. Tucked into this shore are lighthouses, 30 beaches, five state parks, golf courses and pretty towns seemingly plucked straight from a painting. Along the busier Green Bay side, it's hard to tell where one ends and the another begins. But Ephraim (population: 349) and Fish Creek (population: 200), bookends to Peninsula State Park, epitomize what's most appealing.

Visitors rent bikes at the park entrance and ride to water views, beaches and lighthouse. Artists inspired by the county's scenery show their work in two towns' dozen galleries. Travelers tap into this scene with classes at Fish Creek's Peninsula Art School and the newer Hands-on Gallery. Plentiful shopping runs toward high-end boutiques; good food is equally ample. The signature meal is a cauldron of whitefish, potatoes and onions. Fish Creek's White Gull Inn, known for first-class hospitality and one of more then a dozen lodging choices in Fish Creek alone, stages one of the best. Top off this meal with pie made with cherries from the orchards that flourish in the peninsula's interior. And there you go, I hope you have had fun going through the 100 Best Little Towns, now get out the and visit some of these towns and remember, STAY SHOPPING!!

We Are Now At The Top 10 Best Little Towns To Shop In Or To Just Visit

Hello Shoppers,
Now we are down to the Top Ten Little Towns 90 towns out of the way. If you have been on vacation driving around the States I hope you have visit at lest one of the towns I have talked about. But we are down to the Top 10 Best Towns. I will be talking about 5 at a time, so lets get going!

#10 Mackinac Island Area, MI.
This is the place that I proposed to my wife at. We were going across to Mackinac Island on the ferry. And after that we had a great day on the Island. It's become a cliche to say that arriving by ferry at an island's harborside village is like stepping back in time and I know that this is vary true. This is how true it is, you will wonder if the idea originated on this Gilded Age holdover.
The queen of Victorian Era resorts, a bluff over the waters between Michigan's peninsulas. Because cars are not aloud there, the signature sound is the clip-clop of horse's hooves. Visitors take carriage tours, ride bikes, taste famous fudge and tour the 1700s fort. Back on the mainland, explore the island's gateways, St. Ignace (population: 2,700) and Mackinaw City (population: 860), linked by the five-mile Mackinac Bridge. This is a great place.

#9 Stillwater, MN
The timber of the St. Croix River Valley on the Minnesota/Wisconsin border built the fortunes behind Stillwaters Victorian mansions, and the forest and craggy river valley still supply scenery visitors love. The town (population 17,200) about 20 miles east of Saint Paul lures travelers with an irresistible mix: a dozen inns and a historic downtown sprinkled with antiques shops and bookstores that bring collectors from all over the world. Short drives lead to notable towns, including Marine on St. Croix and Taylors Falls. Train and riverboat tours are staples. Plus, Stillwater offers one of the regions most surprising boat tours: St. Croix cruises in a gondola built in Venice, Italy.

#8 Put-in-Bay, OH
This is a storybook family getaway is just a ferry ride away from northwest Ohio's Lake Erie shoreline. Only boats connect South Bass Island and its town of Put-in-Bay (population: 128) to the mainland, so most visitors leave cars behind. That usually reduces the traffic noise among shops and restaurants to no more then the hum of golf carts and jingle of bells on rental bicycles. Family attractions fill the island, including museums, cave tours, fishing charters and a 1917 carousel. For the best view, climb the 352-foot Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial, a white column commemorating a U.S. victory in the War of 1812. This another great place to go and have a lot of fun.

#7 Bayfield, WI
Here, Lake Superior adventure awaits visitors to this town of 600 on the Bayfield Peninsula. Lake jewels tossed into the sapphire water, the 22 Apostle Islands lie just offshore. On summer days, Bayfield's harbor is full of kayaks and tour boats going to and from the beaches, lighthouses and from the legendary archipelago. More relaxed explorers ride ferries to Madeline Island, the only inhabited Apostle, which offers shops, a renowned beach, a museum and places to eat. The shops, inns and restaurants of Bayfield look down from hills along the lake. The surrounding peninsula is marked by pay-on-your-honor berry and apple stands and an absence of chain stores. Most summer nights bring performing arts under the old-fashioned Big Top Chautauqua tent.

#6 Nashville, IN
I think everyone knows about this one, but here it is. So-called progress never quite made it to Nashville, the seat of Brown County, a haven of hills and forests 55 miles south of Indianapolis. That's fine with the artists who live and work in studios tucked amid the town's 250 shops and the countryside. The artists colony founded by the Indiana painter T.C. Steele, who was drawn by the vistas that seem to spread from every hilltop, celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The woodsy setting around Nashville (population: 1,000) also suits hikers and others who explore nearby Brown County State Park, Indiana's largest.

We are now down to the Top 5 Best Small Town In The U.S.A. I will be talking about them tomorrow. Until then, STAY SHOPPING!!
