This is a fascinating video of Norway victims after the horrible massacre there last week. Watch their facial expressions. What do you see?
Due to my busy schedule, I will be commenting with my replies in the comment section below.

What is today’s expression and what are the elements that tell you so?
Last week, I got a notice in the mail that said my dog was due for her rabies shot. I thought that was odd because we got her shots updated last summer, and I was under the impression it was a three-year shot. I have had some serious questions about my vet’s ethics lately, and so before I called, I decided to pull my records to double-check.
When I looked at the Certificate of Vaccination, I was surprised to see the date given and the expiration were only one year apart (not three). Yet when I read further down, it said that it was a three year vaccine. That was certainly sloppy work at best.
I then decided to call the vet office, and ask when my dog’s vaccine was due to see what they would say. She said, yes, it was due now.
This bothered me.
I told the woman I had the certificate of vaccination and it said three years. She said she had to check and that whatever my paper said didn’t matter–only her records mattered. She knew I was upset. She then came back on the line and confirmed that it was a three year vaccinate.
Do vets make documents like this on purpose to make extra money? If you don’t keep records, which a lot of people don’t, they can earn a lot of extra money at the expense of our pets. I would bet I am a rarity to check the facts and call on this, at which point the vet can then say, “Oh yeah, its three” without repercussions.
I find this very disappointing.
I’ve seen several things at this vet lately that concern me and are red flags. One was my name was sold to Frontline and I received advertising from Frontline saying that it was from my vet. It was clear my name was sold to that company–which disturbed me, too. Plus, I had another incident that is to complex to write about here. Three strikes and he’s out! Its time for a new vet!!
I’ve watched a little of Rupert Murdoch and his son, James, talk to the parliamentary committee this week.
I find it interesting that they don’t answer direct questions asked of them, they don’t recall things that they should and they are evasive. This, however, really stood out to me in the segment I watched:
Q202 Mr Watson: Mr Murdoch, why was no one fired in April, when News International finally admitted that News of the World had been engaged in criminal interception of voicemails?
Rupert Murdoch: It was not our job to get in the course of justice. It was up to the police to bring the charges and to carry out their investigation, which we were 100% co-operating with.
Q203 Mr Watson: But in April the company admitted liability for phone hacking, and nobody took responsibility for it then. No one was fired. The company admitted that they had been involved in criminal wrongdoing and no one was fired. Why was that?
Rupert Murdoch: There were people in the company who apparently were guilty. We have to find them and we have to deal with them appropriately.
I find this little snippet in and of itself very telling. Mr. Watson notes that News International admitted the company was engaged in criminal interception of voicemails and yet no one was fired. Murdoch wants people to believe that he and his company had no responsibility outside of cooperating with police. He didn’t have any ethical responsibility to fire employees and keep his paper honest? Wouldn’t a legitimate honest businessman make that his top priority? Murdoch says, “There were people who apparently were guilty. We have to find them.” He has to find them? This is nonsense!
I also find it very interesting how many people are resigning amidst this scandal. Honest people with nothing to hide do not resign. All red flags…
Is this smile contagious?
