Abercrombie and Fitch

Why Would You Shop There?

I have been a blogger for Chat Me More for two years and never would write about controversial subjects until now. I find the CEO Mike Jeffries a disgrace to mankind. His remarks are offensive and down right rude. He stated, "he hates fat chicks and they are not privileged to wear Abercrombie Fitch," and they only carry women's sizes in 10.  Since when is anything over 10 considered FAT. I am a size 4 to 6 and I would never step into the store and I do hope everyone does the same. If you own any of their clothing you should do this. Watch the video:

A Bridge Collapses

A big rig carrying a heavy load on Interstate 5, in Washington State between Seattle and Canada smashed into the span of the bridge causing part of the bridge to collapse. Two vehicles went crashing into the Skagit River. This route is heavily traveled 71,000 vehicles per day and only 2 cars fell into the water. Dan Sligh and his wife driving a pick-up truck were dumped into the freezing waters of the Skagit River. Sligh dislocated his shoulder and had to put it back into place to rescue his wife and they both made it to the top of their car as they waited for help. Once they made it to the top of their truck they noticed there was another man sitting on top of his car. Boats came to their rescue and they were brought to the hospital and are doing fine. A miracle Sligh said "that only three people fell into the water without severe injury."

Deadly Snails Roaming Houston Gardens

Unfortunately, they are back and Houston home owners are being warned to stay away from them and don't touch their slime. They carry a deadly parasite that can cause meningitis. The mollusk can lay over 1, 200 eggs a year. How they appeared in Texas is unknown.

The Cicadas are Coming

 Cicadas Only Appear Every 17 Years

The cicadas are insects that are an inch long with a black body, red eyes and wings. They have been thriving underground and last seen in, 1996. The off springs known as Brood 2 will appear in May and will die off in June. They come above ground to mate and sing quite loudly to attract females. The cicada nymphs climb trees and shed their skins. The females lay their eggs in branches of trees. Males die after mating and all adults will die within in 4 weeks. Females lay 400-600 eggs. The population of these insects will be huge and parts of the east coast will see them everywhere, on the ground in trees and even around the house. They are harmless, but noisy.

In San Jose California an Employee Chases a Woman who Leaves Tainted Orange Juice

Ramineh Behehanian, a 50-year-old chemist, who works for Johnson & Johnson's pharmaceutical was arrested for leaving tainted bottles of orange juice at a Starbucks store in San Jose, California. A customer at Starbucks informed an employee that a woman switched orange juice bottles from the shelve with bottles that she possessed. Behnehanian over heard the conversation and fled from the store. The employee followed her and was able to write down her license plate number. San Jose fire department examined the bottles and they confirmed that there was toxic material in them. The bottles were tested and it was concluded that the bottles contained isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) enough to kill whoever drank them. Behehanian is being held without bail.
