Britney Shears

What has she gone and done now? Once again another celebrity has entered rehab only to come out (24 hours later) more whacked out than when they went in. Her parents and kids must be so proud. Besides there are few females that can effectively pull off the whole bald chick look, Demi Moore and Natalie Portman come to mind. It is fun and at the same time sad watching her implode.

Travel Tip #21

I knew there was a reason that I don't drink coffee.Think twice before using hotel room coffee pots
Jan 23, 2007 07:45 PM
Ask just about anyone in law enforcement, and they'll tell you to be careful if you ever brew coffee in a hotel room. "I know enough now that whenever I go to a hotel, regardless of how nice it is, I'll never use a coffee pot," said Marshall County District Attorney Steve Marshall. Instead of brewing coffee, coffee pots are sometimes used to brew methamphetamine. And since meth labs in hotels aren't anything new, Rick Phillips of the Marshall County Drug Enforcement Unit says there's definitely a risk.
"The coffee makers that you find in every motel room is an ideal heat source. They mix it up in the coffee pot, put it on a heat source and let it sit there and cook," said Phillips. It's common knowledge to those who fight meth, but a shock to your average citizen. "That's a little nerve rattling," said Marshall County resident Toni Jones. "I didn't know that. Proud you told me," said Marshall County resident Daryl Rice. If you were to drink coffee from a pot used to make meth, it could be hazardous to your health. The problem is residue from chemicals such as red phosphorus and iodine. "Typical sickness and issues that would come with any chemical exposure, simple nausea, vomiting to maybe a hospital visit," said Phillips. Phillips says it's pretty easy to tell if a coffee pot has been used to cook meth. It will have a dark reddish-orange stain. You should also be skeptical if there's a chemical odor when you walk in the room.

New Technology

"The Wife" came home from school the other saying that she needed to have some class pictures printed out. No problem just give me the media card. Lo and behold she throws this thing down on the table, what the...... didn't they used to call these things droopies or something. It doesn't matter what you want to call it because we don't have a computer in the whole house that'll read it.

$3.00 Is A Cheap Price For Some Afternoon Fun

On my afternoon trip to the local "Ace Hardware" I found this little beauty awaiting me at the checkout counter. A shocking stapler, how timely since we've lost our one and only stapler in the last week (sofa probably ate it). Time for Dad to be a hero and bring home a new special stapler. I was in the house no longer that 3 minutes before "Goose" just had to pick up and checkout the families new stapler. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz followed by a high (only dogs can hear it) pitched squeal. Damn you can have a lot of fun for $3.00.

Can You Say Lawsuit/ I Knew You Could..... Part II

Check out the latest taste treat from "Kellogg's". Look they are even shaped like Lego's. I wonder how long it's going to take for Lil' Johnny to find a real Lego in the bottom of his toy box, pick it up and swallow it. Well at least they contain 100% of the daily requirement for Vitamin C.
Someone's gonna get sued over these.

Oops It Happened Again

Brittney is single "LINK" .
Some highlights from the article:
"reportedly getting dumped by boyfriend Isaac Cohen" - How's that for an ego boost. First you get caught without any panties and now a guy dumps you. Damn your Brittney Spears for Gods sake.
"Cohen reportedly broke the news to the singer during a long-distance phone call" - What this guy can't afford to add texting to his cell phone plan.
"looking to get out of the relationship for a while," adding, "It was a bit much for him. There was a lot of drama -- it was too much of a whirlwind." - Look Cohen you are for the most part a nothing you would think you'd want some attention to at least further your career, what ever that is.
Life has got to be grand if your a celebrity.

Where Is The Snow?

You see all the pink on this mornings map? Now look and do you see the green area right above the "tl" in Atlanta? Thats where we stay, and guess what the kids didn't get to stay home from school today. There was snow & ice everywhere today but where we live and the kids were how you would say pissed that they still had to go to school.
