The Hoyt Family in the Stranger is based on a true story of a couple being murdered at a cabin. They should have had a home security system installed in their cabin. Nowadays a security system almost seems like a necessity and I am thinking of getting one. There are a lot of different kinds and things to consider when gettin

This guy in Denver claims that he has a video of an alien and he is going to show it to the news tomorrow. Supposedly someone checked it out and pronounced it genuine. Do you think this could be true? I discuss various aspects of extraterrestrial life in this post. I wonder what people think of this, and I am very curious t

What's this an ordinary over 40 year woman turning up in the gossip columns: one who admits to having children and is well ordinary : not a plastic construct A-list Hollywood star!

Anyone intent on representing their country at the summer Beijing Games has to give up a lot, but there is one group of competitors I feel particularly sorry for: the horses involved in the Equestrian Events. They really do put their lives on the line: and today Theodore OConnor lost his as the promising American eventer bolt

This post is for all the greenie, hippy, superstitious, child abusing parents who decide not to have their children vaccinated. Word came thru today of an American woman who died to day after spending all but 3 of her 61 years encased in coffin-like 2 metre long iron lung. Tragically she had contracted polio as a 3 year old o

Lets face it sports people aren't famous for their intelligence : and here is the latest idiot from football: Calvin Schmidtke has lost his contract because of his multiple pending criminal charges. Idiot: even if the law hadnt caught up with him how did he expect to stay fit enough to be a quarter back while consuming that a

Is Phu Quoc in southern Vietnam the new landing place for ET. Reports are coming in that UFOs have been seen over the northern part of the large tropical island in the South China sea. Maybe a new Bermuda Triangle is developing in Asia: what other mysterious happenings have occurred in this remote location in Indo China.

I never heard of a kiffiyeh until this whole Dunkin Donuts Rachel Ray ad thing came up. What is a kiffiyeh anyway? Michele Malkin thinks Rachel Ray wore a kiffiyeh on the Dunkin Donuts ad so they pulled the ad. Are conservative commentators getting too much power?

Are we going into another McCarthy era, only this time wit

The new Scott McClellan book that just came out is telling how George Bush's White House sold us a bunch of propaganda to convince us to go to war in Iraq. This is so sad, since so many of our young people have died in the war.

What is unique about this book is that it is written by a Republican insider, so it should not b

My new dream oven is the Turbo Chef Oven. It cooks food 15 times faster than regular ovens. I can't wait to get one. I am going to be moving to a new place next week, and hopefully once my house sells, I can purchase a condo and install my new Turbo Chef oven.

In this post, I also discuss St. Joseph and how he can help y

It is amazing how I keep finding parallels to Feng Shui wherever I go.

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I went to hear a talk by Philip Chard about being healed by nature. The theme of the talk was that, today, people are alienated from nature. Some people hardly ever get to spend any time in nature.

The energy we surround ourselves wi

A couple of days ago, I posted that I had started using gmail.

Unfortunately, I don’t recommend this any more. Or, if you do use it, be sure to back up your archived mail somewhere else as well.

My account at gmail was suddenly suspended. I have no idea why. I had to submit a support ticket to find out why, and to get it reinstated if p

have been doing a case study of improving the earnings of a boring blog that I had neglected for a long time. Here’s an update on my progress.

The reason I would like to put some more effort towards this is that I only have to do it once. Once the numbers get up there, since there’s not much competition, I will not have to do much, and the
