NukePills.com?


I heard about a site on the Charlotte, NC, news station this morning that is a sign of the new times that we live in. It's called Nuke Pills.com. This is where you go when you need to stock up on "FDA Approved and Foil-Sealed IOSAT Potassium Iodide". It blocks the thyroid's absorption of cancer-causing radioactive iodine released from a nuclear power plant or nuclear bomb. Six million tablets of IOSAT Potassium Iodide were recently purchased by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for limited distribution to states with nuclear plants. I suppose it's no stranger than having drills in elementary school when we were small. When we learned to hit the floor and cover our heads. But the thought that I might someday need to take these pills still leaves me feeling a little uneasy this morning.

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
