I don’t want to gross people out, but I heavily rely on Tylenol during my monthly menstrual cycle to eliminate cramping.
So imagine how I felt on a recent grocery shopping trip when I looked at the empty Tylenol shelves and the store manager told me the over-the-counter drug had been recalled. Luckily, it wasn’t my time of the month for a couple weeks to give me time to find an alternative pain medication.
I was unaware of Tylenol’s original recall in January because stores still carried it on the shelf. The latest Tylenol recall includes 21 lots of over-the-counter medicine, including Tylenol Extra Strength, Benadryl Allergy and Motrin, in countries, such as the U.S., Puerto Rico, Fiji and Jamaica. Tylenol’s products are being recalled because of consumer complaints of a musty, moldy odor tied to a chemical that doesn’t meet FDA standards.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare has posted comprehensive information on each of Tylenol’s recalled medication on its web site, and here is a complete listing of the recalled Tylenol meds and the affected countries.
Meanwhile, I have found Bayer to be a worthy replacement until Tylenol remedies its defects. I wonder how parents of infants and toddlers are coping since Children’s Tylenol and Motrin are part of the recall.

British Petroleum’s (BP’s) oil spill killed 11 people and has injured or killed thousands of aquatic life in the Gulf of Mexico, forcing several businesses into financial disarray and some to close their doors.
Gulf Coast seafood distributors have been very vocal about how BP’s spill has caused business to suffer. Red Lobster owner Darden Restaurants has the largest seafood exposure among restaurant chains, but a Darden spokesperson said the chain will hardy feel the effect of the Gulf spill because most of Red Lobster’s seafood comes from Alaska, Canada, Maine and Asia. Darden also owns Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze and Capital Grille.
However, 20% of the seafood Americans consume comes from the Gulf, and restaurant prices are expected to rise.

Rue McClanahan, my favorite Golden Girl during the sitcom’s run from 1985-1992, died of a massive stroke, also called a brain hemorrhage, on Thursday. She was 76.
Although she appeared on several popular TV shows and performed on and off Broadway, McClanahan is most remembered for her role as promiscuous, flirtatious Blanche Devereaux. She won an Emmy Award for her role in 1987.

Rue was the youngest of the Golden Girls’ cast that included Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty and Betty White. White, 88, was the oldest of the foursome. She is now the only living Golden Girl and still going strong, appearing in a popular Snickers’ Super Bowl commercial earlier this year and hosting Saturday Night Live last month for the show’s highest ratings since the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
More on Rue McClanahan’s life.

Former University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow usually takes the high road and avoids controversial statements, but the outwardly religious athlete took a shot at his detractors after the Denver Broncos drafted him in the first round of the NFL Draft last week.
Tebow, who was projected to be a middle round selection because of his unpolished quarterback skills, said his critics motivated him to be one of the greatest college football quarterbacks and he plans to continue to prove detractors wrong by succeeding in the NFL.
“To all the critics. Thanks for all the motivation,” said Tebow shortly after being drafted. “It really has been a motivation for me and will continue to be.”
Tebow’s words immediately brought to mind “So Ambitious” on Jay-Z’s latest No. 1 album. In “So Ambitious”, producer Pharrell sings, “The motivation for me was them telling me what I could not be…. Hey if you believe it. Then you can conceive it.”

Tebow listened to critics say that he doesn’t have the skills to play quarterback in the NFL for the last couple years of his UF college football career, and he heard it throughout the months leading up to the draft. But he got the last laugh by being drafted in the opening round and he has the motivation to prove that he’s worthy of being a top NFL draft pick.

I’m so glad Rihanna is returning to the stage after a six-month layoff.
Rihanna hasn’t performed publicly since cancelling her Grammy Awards performance after a brutal beating the night before in a scuffle with her now ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Because her bruises were so gruesome, she also cancelled her tour.
But the Barbadian beauty has slowly eased back into performing in the last few months by having a leading role in Kanye West’s “Paranoid” video and lending her voice to Jay-Z’s new hit “Run This Town” that also features Kanye West.

Rihanna is taking an even bolder step by agreeing to join her “big brothers” Jay-Z and Kanye West to perform “Run This Town” on The Jay Leno Show on Sept. 14. On Thursday, the “Run This Town” video was officially released on MTV.

Meanwhile, Chris Brown appears in court on Aug. 27 to reveal his plan for court-ordered 1,400 community labor hours for pleading guilty to assaulting Rihanna.

Does anyone tell the truth anymore or practice what they preach?
Two weeks ago, Philadelphia coach Andy Reid added his team to the list of 26 NFL clubs that claimed to have no interest in signing three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick, who was reinstated to play in the NFL last month after being freed from a two-year sentence for funding a dogfighting ring.
With five-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb and one of the most talented offenses in the league, Reid said the elusive Vick is not a good fit for the Eagles.
So it’s very hypocritical for Reid and the Eagles to sign Vick to a two-year deal Thursday to bring him in as McNabb’s backup. McNabb lobbied to bring his former nemesis on the team.

Vick led the Atlanta Falcons in their NFC championship loss to McNabb and the Eagles in 2005, and Philly ended up losing to New England at the Super Bowl in Jacksonville.
Here’s what Reid said about Vick two weeks ago:
“Number one, I think he’s a good kid. Right now we have a good situation at quarterback so that’s not the direction I’m looking. I’m glad Tony Dungy is involved, no finer person around than Tony Dungy. And Michael, the times I’ve talked to him, he’s a good kid, so I think that combination there will help Michael and probably increase his marketability there.”
Maybe Coach Reid just didn’t want to tip his hand and create a demand for Vick, which would have driven up the asking price for the former No. 1 pick in the 2001 NFL Draft. But it makes me question if the other 25 teams were also lying about their interest in the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
But I guess Vick’s signing shouldn’t be too surprising. All you had to do was read between the lines to see that Reid was actually interested in bringing Vick in. The coach mentioned that Vick is a good kid and that he was pleased that Vick was working with former Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy, and Dungy said earlier this week that he expected Vick to sign with a team by the end of this week.
Obviously Reid had a recent meeting with Vick, and he and Dungy talked about the Eagles bringing in Vick.
The Eagles will pay a price for Vick’s presence on their roster because the PETA crazies have put Philadelphia on their tour map to protest the signing of Vick and a small percentage of Eagles fans will threaten to give up their season tickets.
But Vick deserves a second chance after doing time for his crime, and it will be interesting to see how opposing defenses handle Vick, McNabb and two-time Pro Bowl tailback Brian Westbrook in the same backfield because Vick will likely be used during those new Wildcat formations.

Michael Jackson’s soft voice and lyrics were so powerful that they touched your heart and soul.
Not many musical artists hit you at your core anymore. The beat of the song is what makes hits nowadays, not the artist’s voice or lyrics.

Michael also had the beats to make hit songs “Want To Be Starting Something”, “Beat It” and “Thriller”, but he also had songs that made your heartbeat faster, such as “Ben”, “Who’s Loving You”, “Got To Be There”, “Rock With You”, “Smile”, which his older brother Jermaine sang at the public memorial at L.A.’s Staples Center on Tuesday, and many, many more songs that enabled Michael Jackson to hit the Billboard 100 14 times while selling 750 million records worldwide.

And let’s not forget the songs that inspired us to make the world a better place, such as “Heal the World”, “We Are the World” and “Earth Song”.
And one song, “Will You Be There” has such powerful lyrics that the verses should be repeated by every bride and groom on their wedding day.
Michael’s voice played and the words of that song scrolled across the big screen following Oscar-winning actress and Grammy Award-winning singer Jennifer Hudson’s performance of MJ’s song at the memorial.

Here are the words at the end of MJ’s song:
Will you be there?
In my darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tribulations
Through doubts and frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear and my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I’ll never let you part
For you’re always in my heart.

Wouldn’t those words be great marital vows?
I dare you to the find an artist whose songs touched so many people from all races, all religions and all corners of the world.
Michael is truly the greatest singer, performer and songwriter the world has ever seen.
