Cows for FREE?!?!

I was browsing the web and all that it has to offer. I came across this website, kinda like etsy or ebay. People can sell whatever they want. Like 32 slightly used foam egg cartons. I first thought, wow people will try to sell everything they have, just to make some extra cash. Then i thought, well sometime farmers n such may use them to store their chickens eggs. Ok. Then, as I'm deep into the site, I now realize they also give things away, like kittens. Cuz you can't take money for an animal. But then I see a cow that is being given away. Now that, I could see charging for. In the older times, people used to sell livestock as a living. They produce many things for us. So, to give it away. Wow. And there are a lot of animals they are giving away too. With Free shipping!! Am i losin' it, or is this site not real?

Scroll down a little to see the cows. :-)

Sugar Daddy site

I was watching "The Dr.s" and there was a story about a new mascara that you never need to remove. I was intrigued. As I waited for that part of the segment to come on, I was blown away about the next thing I saw. A website for sugar daddy's. Not the all famous caramel lollipop manufactured by Tootsie Roll. But a man or woman with lots of money to throw around, who would give you some for the pleasure of your company. There is an actual website for this. Check it out...I had to. :-)

P.S. The mascara bit was totally not worth the wait, you need to have a treatment applied by a doctor and it only lasts for 2 weeks. Plus each treatment cost $50-$70!!! No thank you.

Who still writes in cursive?

That age-old writing method you might never have used since fourth grade will no longer be taught in Indiana schools come fall, thanks to a memo from school officials. Instead, students will be expected to become proficient in keyboard use.

Seems like a smart move as being able to type efficiently is a vital skill in today's world, as opposed to knowing how to write cursive, which — like being able to churn butter and knowing how to hitch a horse to a wagon — is no longer needed.

But it might not mean the end of cursive entirely in the state. The directive from the state's Department of Education allows schools to decide for themselves whether to continue teaching cursive or disband the archaic practice altogether.

NewsFeed has just one question: How will Indiana's students know how to sign their name?

Google+

I LOVE Google. and subsequently, everything attached to google. Gmail,. Maps, Shopping, Books, Analytics, Earth, Blogger, Apps...the list goes on. So I was very excited when I heard from another friend about Google+. You can check it all out here.

I believe Google+ is still in BETA phase and you may need and invitation to get in. If you are interested in an invite, leave me a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Pelvic Pain

I  have recently had excrutiating pain in my pelvic region. Went on WebMD and found an interesting theory.

Endometriosis.

The controversy about Mr. Rogers

Today, I changed my screensaver. I mentioned to a co-worker that it reminded me of the make-believe characters on Mr. Rogers.

She then told me she heard at a party that Mr. Rogers always wore sweaters because he had sleeves of tattoos. I couldn't let this rest. I looked all over the internet trying to find something. I found an article about how he DID have tattoos and he was also a child molester. BULL!!! After extensive research I have come up with this.

He did not have tattoos...watch the video



He was not a child molester...watch the video



While looking at these videos, I cam across this one, which really pissed me off.

So, I stopped my research.

That's all. Just wanted to put the rumors to rest. Thanks.
