shoplifting tools and things that'll kill you
Today I learned that if you place security-tagged items you wish to shoplift in a shopping bag lined with aluminum foil, you can discreetly carry said items past the security scanner at the door undetected, thereby avoiding time-consuming, evidence-laden, in-store tag removal. Also, this information is strewn all over the internet.
In related news, someone took 350 bras from a Flagstaff Victoria's Secret, and those bras each cost roughly $43, which is more than I paid for the entire outfit I'm wearing right now.
In 'things that'll kill you' news, my local paper conveniently grouped warnings about salmonella-tainted white chocolate, a myriad of lead-containing toys, and Cub Scout badges all in the same article. But thanks to alert reader Linda, we have an even better death article, one that says that heavy users of cosmetics can absorb five pounds of chemicals in a year. Better yet, eye shadow has arsenic in it. Arsenic!! [Ed. note: Miss Molly has been rendered somewhat inarticulate by amusement over a staple old-school murder weapon appearing in cosmetics. She'll be ok again in a minute.]
Anyway, in this article, two British women in their 20s were convinced to give up their beauty products and try some safer ones for a week, and lo and behold, they decided most of their scary products were easily replaceable. Thus we learn that by not switching to safer but just as effective formulations, cosmetics companies are trying to kill us.
I bet they can't pull that off when today's preschoolers reach their 20s; if they have any sense at all, they will have developed a profound mistrust of product safety.

I seldom write comments, however i did some searching and wound
up here "shoplifting tools and things that'll kill you".
And I actually do have some questions for you if you usually
do not mind. Is it simply me or does it look like a few of the remarks look like
written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites,
I would like to follow anything new you have to post.
Would you list of every one of your community sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
