Wal-Mart woarker dies in rush shopping STAMPEDE!!! OMG!

This can’t be real…

When I heard about this story it just gave me goosebumps! WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD! Yes, I know that crazier and more insane things are occurring all around us but this takes the cake for some Black Friday shopping. Did someone have to lose a life in a frightful stampede for consumers to get “deals” on merchandise?!?! AT WALMART of all places!?!?!??!?

I’m so disgusted! People’s minds need some hard core change. I wonder who the actual people were who stepped on his body and suffocated him to death. How can they live with themselves????

They have no hearts.

I can’t even believe I’m writing about something like this – its surreal, it just shouldn’t happen. I can’t believe that people parked themselves outside Walmart at 9pm and waited till the early morning to pummel a poor man to death just for these so called “deals”. DEALS FOR DEATH! ??? WHAT?

NOW I KNOW WHY I MAKE MY OWN THINGS OR SHOP ONLINE! God forbid, I ever get caught up in a stampede….

Back to the 80′s television classics: Growing Pains!

This show totally takes me BACK!
You know when something like a song, a scent, a person, or a television show can give you an instant memory and gives you a memory of a particular time, place or a thing? I used to love watching this show growing up with my sisters – couldn’t get enough of Kirk Cameron!
I heard the theme song after not hearing it FOR YEARS and I’m filled with such nostalgia. I started thinking about my old house growing up, old friends from elementary school, clothes I used to wear… I mean its amazing how something that you see or hear can send you into a whirlpool of emotions.

Thankfully this was a good throw back for me. I tell you, some of the shows in the 80′s were the best. Today’s tv is a completely different world. Can we say: YIKES? I grew up only really being allowed to watch PBS. My sister’s and I had to sneak and watch our “rebel” shows which were mainly soap operas and shows like Growing Pains. So sheltered!
Anyone else love this show back in the day?
