Politics...sad really

So, Newt Gingrich is running to "save the Western Civilization from Pagan culture"...look at your history people, paganism was here long before Jesus died on a cross....and the rep from Tennessee, John Ragan, says "it's virtually impossible to get AIDS from heterosexual sex"...and people would entrust our country to these kinds of people? Really?

I haven't seen any politicians I would trust. I'm still not sure about Romney, kind of on the fence about him, and Obama needs to get the fuck out.

I could have sworn that we the people had the right to remove politicians from office who were not doing their jobs. We need to scrap the whole bunch of them from the mayors all the way up to the president and start from scratch.  Lower their pay scales, remove their pensions unless they serve for 20+ years and take away the free college education for all their kids.  Stop giving to the welfare folks who refuse to get a job after a certain amount of time, stop sending our jobs to other countries and stop funding other countries.  As for illegal immigrants....get rid of them too, their a burden on our country.  Yes, I know that most of us are from immigrants that came to this country, but they did so legally.

The government type folk keep taking money from our military and education, why not take it from their own pockets? They make way more then they need to, personally I think they need to get paid what a lower middle class worker makes and see how difficult it is to make ends meet.  The price of groceries just keeps going up, the price of gas keeps rising...will we ever see the light of day again financially? I'm starting to doubt it. 

We're in the middle of a repression right now, it seems like we're steam rolling right toward a depression.  Sadly, though, there's not much that the average person like you or I can do about it, except keep voting the fat cats out and try to get better ones in.

Lost Silk...it's sad...

I was rather disappointed when I saw that BJ's wasn't carrying Silk vanilla Soymilk anymore, so I asked at the member services desk, the response I got was "It's code 2, means we're not going to get it anymore, we're discontinuing selling it"  Umm...okay....but why?

So today I called BJ's corporate office and asked them the same question, they tried to offer me a substitute for twice the cost, yeah, not gonna happen.  After I got off the phone with BJ's I called Silk and talked them about it, I was told that all BJ's had to do was have their buyers call Silk and order the soymilk and it would be sent to them.

That seems easy enough, right? Well, it seems that to BJ's it's not that easy...come one people, seriously, do you have any idea how many people prefer the Silk brand over any other brand?  We buy it because Bug's allergic to milk protein, and yes, I've tried other brands, she didn't like the taste or texture of any of the other brands, but she loved Silk.

Aside from the milk protein allergy that Bug has, the other reason why we get the Silk from BJ's is due to the price. At Walmart, Food Lion, Kroger's and Farm Fresh it's about $4.99 for a half gallon.  At the commissary it's not much better.  BJ's had the double half gallon ( 1 gal total) pack for $4.99! And now they don't carry it anymore and I have 2 $1 off coupons!

Here's the message I sent to BJ's :

Please get Silk Soymilk Vanilla (2 half gallon pack) back in stock at the BJ's near me. Any substitute won't work, my daughter prefers Silk over all the other brands. My daughter cannot drink regular milk due to an allergy to milk protein, so the soymilk is very important.

After speaking to both a lady at your customer service as well as a lady at Silk, all that needs to be done is your buyers need to contact Silk and they'll be glad to supply your stores with the Silk Soymilk Vanilla. If the problem is with your distribution centers then your buyers need to express the customer need for the product.

Thank you in advance for your time and understanding, I hope to see Silk Vanilla Soymilk back in stock at the Chesapeake VA location soon.

Please let me know via email if and when it will be restocked, I would truly appreciate it.

I sent a similar message to Silk asking if there was a way for them to get in contact with the buyers from BJ's to get the Silk vanilla Soymilk back in stock.

It wasn't long ago that I was fighting with the school Bug's in to get the Silk soymilk in stock for breakfasts. Let me tell you, that was a long drawn out situation.
