I want to bring your attention to a few changes on the General Blogger. Look to the right. I removed all the banners and most of the outside links. Make that side of the blog a lot cleaner looking. At the top on the right side is a spot “Support the General Blogger”. Soon there will be a donation button there. So you can donate whatever you want to help support my blog.
Now, the advertising did not disappear! If you notice above where the navigation bar is, there is a link called “General Blogger Supporters”. That is where the advertisers are placed. Banners and links. Do check it out. And if you wish to advertise there. you can find the information at the bottom of that page.

It was learned, the woman, 41 years old, rode on her scooter to an elementary school in Meilan District, Haikou City to pick up her child that day. When she wanted to pack her scooter in front of a shop, she was rejected by the shop owner, a 42-year-old male.

Want a Pussy ring?
Put these rings on, uh, it? Indie musician Grimes (whose real name is Claire Boucher) is a rising star. The Canadian chanteuse’s latest album, “Visions,” has been feted with critical praise since its release in February, and the video for her song “Oblivion” has been a viral sensation. Now, Boucher has added jeweler to her resume, teaming with sculptor Morgan Black for a line of “P*ssy Rings.” Yes, they are exactly what they sound like: Vulva-shaped rings. That you wear. On your fingers. In public. And they come in three colors, including, ahem, pink. Beyond that, there’s nothing else to say until you try to explain to your friends at the bar why you’re wearing one.

Scientists found the planet, Gliese 667Cc, orbiting around a red dwarf star, 22 light years away from the earth.
Red dwarf stars are the most common stars in the neighbourhood of the sun, usually hosting planets called gas giants, which are not composed of rock matter.

It appears they have their work cut out for them. Data show that more than 70 percent of prescription drug abusers in the US obtain the drugs from friends or relatives. Surprisingly, only 5 percent of abusers actually steal the drugs from these sources. About 11 percent purchase the pills from family and friends, but most get the drugs for free from these same sources. More …

Swank KFC bar offers fried chicken with a side of whiskey
Not that you need another reason to pack up your things and move to Japan (Temples! Cherry blossoms! Sushi-making robots!), but KFC — as in Kentucky Fried Chicken — is opening a swank bar at the top of their three-story restaurant in Tokyo. KFC Route 25 (named after U.S. Route 25, which runs through the original Sanders Café in Kentucky) will feature whiskey cocktails, a fully stocked bar, a pizza with cheese AND maple syrup on the menu, and of course all the crispy fried chicken you can keep down when you’re tipsy. Their website describes it as a “good-old USA” approach to bartending hospitality. Can we book tickets tonight?!
