Michael Jackson.. enough with the jokes!

What in the world is going on with all of these celebrities dropping over dead?? The reaper normally takes 3 at a time, but now we are on number 5! (this is including the death of Billy Mays today).

Ofcourse, Michael Jackson is getting the most attention as his death was such a surprise and so unexpected. I have to say, I am a bit sad about his passing and I'm getting sick and tired of all of the jokes I've been getting online and through text messages. I think I got the stupid joke about melting him down into a toy so that little boys can play with him atleast 15 times!! Give it up, it's NOT funny!!

I actually kind of feel sad for Michael Jackson. He was never PROVEN to be a child molestor in a court of law however everyone just believes what they hear and label him a child molester.

The guy is a musical legend! I remember sitting in my friend Kellie's room when we were kids back in the 80's listening to the Thriller album. It was like nothing I had ever heard before. M.J. has influenced thousands maybe even millions of musicians throughout the world. Obviouslly he had some mental problems. None of us know what happened to him as a child. Obvious attempts to change his appearance just proves how insecure he was about himself. When he talked, he talked as if he was still that little child stuck inside of an adult body. I think Michael Jackson loved children and loved to make them happy. Is it wrong for a man to love children? If he was a woman I'm sure no one would consider her a child molester? After being accused and acquitted of child molestation he spent the rest of his years having to hide from the public as everyone felt it was THEIR duty to judge him with no evidence. I've received emails celebrating his death because,"child molester's get what they deserve". Not to mention the numerous jokes I received about his death.

The guy was obviously very insecure with himself and spent the last few years of his life being persecuted by people who know nothing about him. Remember, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.. and he was never proven guilty.

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson.

Cute or Vandals?

These animals can be very destructive and dangerous. Would you have saved them??

... I would have!! :o)

New look?

Well I've straightened up the blog a little bit.. tried to tidy it up and make it look prettier! Yes, I love the color purple as if you can't already tell! haha. I know it could be better but I am happy with the way it looks now. I may work on a better logo when I get a chance.

Just want to mention that I used Blogger Buster for help with the codes! They were a huge help and I hope to do bigger and better things with all of my blogs with their help!

I will be posting more soon!

Under Construction for a bit!

Just to let everyone know I am going to be working on a new layout for this blog. This will be my first time attempting to play around with the layout codes so if you come here and find the page a bit crazy looking, just ignore it and come back another time! Wish me luck and if anyone is good at this stuff please let me know!! xo

You Potty Mouth!

Sometimes I just sit around and try to analyze the oddest things. Trying to sort out why something is this way or that way in my head. One thing that pops in my head a lot is, are you ready for this?? Curse words!

Cuss Words. Swear Words. Whatever way you want to describe them! Maybe I think about it more now that I have children and don't want them getting in trouble at school for saying one of these very naughty words!

What makes a word a "bad word"? How is sh*t any different than saying "poop"? Damn instead of "dang"? F**k instead of "screw"? As* instead of butt? Why is one word considered bad and another considered acceptable when they both mean the same thing?

WHO out there decides which words are bad and which words are ok? Why should children get punished for saying as* instead of butt? How exactly do we explain it to them? It really seems down right silly to me. They are just words for christ's sake! Why might I get banned from certain blogger rings or social sites just because I might say one of these expletives? Yet, it's perfectly acceptable for me to say poop, feces, butt, arse, sex, screw, heck... etc..?

Why are some people considered "dirty" and/or "bad people" because they say this word instead of that word?

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Curious minds want to know!

What are you paying for Gas?

Thought it would be interesting to hear what gas prices are in different places around the country! Leave a comment with your location and the price of gas today!

Currently, in northwest Ohio gas is $2.59 for unleaded gas. How high is it going to get?? Where do you think the highest price for gas is??

Gas Prices on the rise.. AGAIN??

The weather has finally turned for the better, the snow is GONE and the temperature is rising. What else is rising?? Gas prices, ofcourse! Now when everyone is feeling good, feeling healthy and ready to finally get out of the house, the gas prices shoot up. Isn't it bad enough that just about EVERYONE is laid off and out of work and now the gas prices go up?? Forget all of the people that want to go on vacations and have fun, what about the people searching for jobs? Now they can't even afford GAS to get to apply for a job or go to a job interview?? Every day more and more people are losing their jobs while the "big" people keep raising the prices on everything, not just gas and expect the country to still survive??

Obama, WHERE are you?? Your country is drowning while you are making assinine and somewhat offensive JOKES that I did not find funny at all, especially for a President to say. Stop the comedy act and take care of your country! People are suffering every day without jobs. People can't pay bills, people are losing their homes. What are you doing to help them?? How loud do us citizens have to scream before you help us?? The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. We are begging you for help so please, step up to the plate and show us that you CAN handle this job.. before it's too late!

Slowly making my way back!

Wow what a long past month it has been! We went to TN last month and had a blast! Ended up staying an extra day! We didn't want to come home. It's so beautiful there and everyone is so friendly! My husband is still trying to talk me into moving there.. eventually!! It is definitely something to think about!

A week after we came back from TN, we moved. That has been a never ending event! Been trying to get everything moved over here and get our old house emptied out and cleaned up. I think everything is finally moved and now maybe we can have some time to actually unpack! On top of all of that the hubs and I both have really bad sinus infections so we feel like crap! I've been missing blogging here.. just been a lack of time to do it! I will be back soon and already have my first rant planned.. has something do with gas prices.. and Obama, heh heh!!

Be back soon! xo

P.S. I know you missed me! :o)

Boo Hoo!!!

Soo, the other day I was looking through my stats when I noticed I had some traffic generated from a link that I hadn't seen before. I went to check it out and it was a blog that reviewed this very blog! However, it wasn't a very good one and I think I shall cry! *waaaah*..

Thought I would give my two cents back on the review. First of all, the review stated that this blog is boring and I need a better layout. Was also stated that I need to post more often. Hmm, well, first of all, this blog is more like a personal blog where I just post about any random thing that I feel like posting about, therefore, if you find it boring, I really don't care; don't read it!

I know the layout is a bit boring, just a plain old blogger blog, right?? I don't really have the time to mess around with designing a new layout for this or paying someone to do it for me. To be honest, I would rather have someone interested in my blog because of the content not because of the layout. Believe me, I've seen a lot of nice looking blogs with snoozers for posts! I've also seen some somewhat boring looking blogs with very interesting information throughout the blog. What's that old saying? Oh yes, I think it's something along the lines of "don't judge a book by its cover". Did I get that right?? *grins*

Yes, I would LOVE to be able to post more often! I would post every day if it was possible, but you see, I have three children aged 5 years and younger whom I have to take back and forth to school every day. I also work and am going to school myself. I'm lucky that I'm able to get dishes finished let alone blog every day! If you can give me 5 more hours in the day, maybe that would be possible! Not everyone has the pleasure of having enough free time to blog every day or every other day at that!

Anyway, I don't know why this blog reviewed me, but good or bad it still got me some new hits, so thanks a ton!!

On another note, well, sort of, leading from the "needing posts more often" thing, it may be awhile before I post here. Have a busy weekend coming up with Easter, then we are going to Tennessee next week for a week to visit my sister in law and her husband. I'm soo excited, I love road trips and we have so many fun things planned! Then we are moving the first week of May and I still have lots of packing to do. I will try to post here when I get a chance.. To those of you who are NOT bored with this here blog, thanks for sticking around!

P.S. Tomorrow's my birthday. I'm so depressed. Why is it then when you are young you can't WAIT for your birthday to get here? Then the older you get, the more depressing it is when it comes around?? Ack!

Looking for a new web browser?

I've been using Firefox for a few years now but for the last few months have been having many problems with it crashing. It's an every day thing when I'm working. It will just freeze up, say that it is "not responding" and I will have to shut it down and then restart firefox. I've gotten very frustrated with it and did some research on it and read a lot of other complaints about the same thing.

I read quite a few people mentioning the new Google Chrome (still in Beta stages) so I decided to test it out. Since it is still pretty new it does have a few glitches but for the most part, I like it! I can import all of my bookmarks from Firefox into it which makes the move a lot easier! The only problem I have with it is with my job. On the platform they use you have to click a button which brings up another small window. When I push the button in Google Chrome it does nothing. The new window wont pop up at all. I've tried messing around with everything, turning pop up blocker off.. etc., but nothing I do works. Other than that, I have had no problems with it! No matter how many tabs I have open it does not crash. I can work all day long without any crashes. I'm sorry Firefox but I think I may have to say goodbye! I can't handle the numerous crashes all day! I'm still using both for now as sometimes I still have to use Firefox for work to get that other window up but other than that I've been using Google Chrome for everything!

I despise Internet Explorer and refuse to use it, lol. I know a lot of people feel the same way! If you are looking for something new I definitely suggest checking out Google Chrome. Just do a search for it! Since it is pretty new they are constantly doing updates to it, so I'm hoping the little glitches wont take long to be fixed!

Do you enjoy shopping online

One thing I love to do is shop! I really don't know many women who don't like to shop! I do like going out to the stores once in awhile but hate dealing with other impatient and sometimes rude people. I much prefer to shop online so that I don't have to deal with the crowd and I can do it at my convenience even in my pjs if I want to!

One thing I do have a problem with sometimes is finding good deals on all products. Normally if I do a search online it just brings me the higher end stores that have paid for advertisement. I like shopping with smaller businesses and helping the little guy out not padding the pockets of big corporate businesses!

A friend of mine told me about shopwiki! When you search for a specific item it crawls through ALL of the websites on the web and gives you the best sites to buy these products from! The best sites are not always the ones who can afford to pay to be on the top! I have a few friends who are pregnant right now and I found quite a few things for them on here including:'

Babies and Toddlers

Nursery Furniture

Clothing for Boys

Clothing for Girls

Toys

and more!

Anything you want you can find here and their results are always relevant. It's a great place to find the best deals on what you are looking for!
