Japan Rescued Animal Has 72 Hours Before Killled......Misleading Info
I am sure by now many of you watched the video of 2 poor dogs survived quake and tsunami. You may also probably have heard or read about Japan's policy of killing unclaimed animals after 72 hours. Well, don't worry. Japan isn't a cruel country as some people who are spreading false rumor and lie try to make you think as such. Japan has a new policy after Kobe quake in 1995, which went into effect very very quickly only a day or two after the quake. All animals rescued from disaster like this one will not be killed after 72 hours. They all will be kept alive and healthy until they are claimed by the owners or put on adoption.
For your information, Japan isn't the only country that has the policy to kill unclaimed animals in animal shelter after 72 hours. In the U.S., we also have the similar policy. Each state may different period of time. California, for example, has the policy to kill unclaimed animals after 72 hours just like in Japan. The purpose of this policy is, since each shelter has very limited room to accommodate, they need to make room for new animals coming in everyday. I believe we can't blame this policy. It is very unrealistic to accommodate unlimited number of animals. What to blame is the animal owners. If irresponsible owners don't throw their animals away in the first place, these poor animals would be in the animal shelter in the first place.

Push CLEAR button at gas station
I did not know about the clear button, but I will be pushing the clear button before I swipe my gas or debit card and after just to be safe.
People are getting really desperate due to the constantly rising gas prices and the economy.
A friend just told me about something that happened to one of his coworkers. She used her credit/debit card to purchase gas at the pump (like most of us do). She received her receipt like normal. However, when she checked her statement, there were 2 $50.00 charges added in addition to her purchase. Upon investigation, she found out that because she did not press the 'clear' button on the pump, the employee inside the store was able to use her card to purchase his/her own gas!
To keep this from happening, after you get your receipt, you must press the 'CLEAR' button or your information will be stored until the next customer inserts their card.
Be sure to tell all your friends/family so that this doesn't happen to them. I had never noticed the clear button but I got gas the other day and sure enough it is there. I shall be using it from now on.
NEXT TO ZERO

Received my new Social Security Card
I received my "clean" Social Security Card in the mail today. Unlike the old one, it doesn't have any restriction on it. And, of course, my social security number is still the same.
