Unleaded lips, please

There has been a lot of talk about lead in toys and I have already weighed in on this matter.  But, for those of you that like to be well informed about other sources of lead, let me guide you here.  Toys aren't the only unsafe things--American made lipstick is also suspect.  So the next time, you go to lick your ruby coated lips, check this chart (on page 10) to make sure you aren't suckin' down some bad for you lead.  It doesn't say anything about lip gloss so those of you that use candy flavored Lip Smackers because of the oh so sweet taste are probably ok. 

Other news:  evidently my local paper has been voted the best daily paper in the state of Indiana.  Yep, it even beat the Indianapolis Star.  C'mon you can't beat some of the stories in the paper...consider this one:

 

A Bloomington man was found unresponsive Wednesday evening at a movie theater following a showing of the film “Enchanted.” He was later pronounced dead at Bloomington Hospital.

David Kaspar, 38, was dropped off at Showplace 12, west, by his mother for the 6:20 p.m. show, said his sister, Lyn Huntington.

She said that their mother, Carol Kaspar, returned to the theater just after 8 p.m. to pick up her son. She looked around but could not find him. Huntington said an attendant told their mother that he appeared to be asleep in the front row of the screening room, the film having ended several minutes before that.

David Kaspar was found to be unresponsive. Paramedics were called to the scene and he was taken to the hospital. Monroe County Coroner David Toumey said deputy coroner Nicole Meyer pronounced Kaspar dead at 9:26 p.m. Toumey said he died of natural causes.

Huntington said that though her brother was overweight, he did not show signs of any serious health problems.

How terribly sad, but this is what I took away from it:  Enchanted isn't as good as everyone says and I really need to make sure I get my butt to the gym everyday!
