What do you do when...??? short one! (8-26-07 entry #3)

I'm at it again... Yahoo Answers has captured me!! I have to get out of there before I am up all night again! Besides, I'm not feeling too good... I really hope I'm not getting sick!!! If so, I will still be doing at least ONE blog tomorrow! (I already have it done in MS Word! I made a commitment to Maegan & I plan on standing by it!!

Anyway, what do you do when you get the feeling you're getting sick? Click my to see my question & more details... If you don't have a Yahoo Answers account & don't want to get "sucked" up into it's vortex, then feel free to come back here & leave your answer here!

New found 360 friend, Maija AND a quick question... 8-26-07 (entry #2)

My 360 friend Dudge, had linked in his blast. "You might be a 360 addict if..."

I'm a Jeff Foxworthy fan AND my natural curiosity made me check it out!

What I found is, Maija's blog will be addictive! Not only does she ask the above question... but it seems she has other "games" such as True / False!

I highly suggest, if you hadn't yet, check out Maija's 360 site!! Especially if you like to participate in fun games!!

My quick question is...
When I do my tribute blogs next week about Princess Diana, would you like it if I put it in a separate site? (I'm pondering of doing a separate site, because I'm thinking of doing a major tribute!! I am watching a lot of shows about her, her death & well, just about every thing about her!!)

What's your opinion??

Yahoo's Fantasy Football... 8-25-07 (entry #3)

I need SIX more teams so we can set auto draft date! I've set this up for beginners, but you do not have to a beginner! If you've never done the FFL thing & truly enjoy football... I'd highly suggest giving it a try!

If you are a beginner at FFL, what better way to try than with a 1st year league commissioner?!!

Just so you know, my hubby is helping me out with the settings & etc. He has his own team & I have mine! He will NOT be helping me with my team... I am doing this, so I can learn... In case our church league ever needs an extra team! (And so I can understand when my hubby is talks about it!!)

I have posted this in Yahoo Answers and I was given the suggestion to post it here. (I briefly mentioned it before, but figured I need to give this it's own blog, since I am stuck at 6. (I need 6 more!!)

The league name is: 4FFL Beginners
(but you don't HAVE to be a beginner.)
Id #: 512938
Password: 2007ffl

Please send me a message if you have any questions.
Unlike Yahoo's default settings, this will be EASY FAIR & COMPETITIVE!!

Only need 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, DEF to be playing. You'll be able to have 6 Benched players for bye weeks!

Scoring is much simpler & fair too!!

You can get started right here: Yahoo Fantasy Football...

Yes, it's free!!
Please email me if you have any other questions! I really want to get the draft set in the next couple days!!!

If you're already a part of a league, you CAN be in more than one.

So...

Kiss and Make Up Day - 8-25-07 (filling in for Maegan)

Kiss and Make Up Day is a great way to end a spat. Everyone has an argument, a fight, or a tiff once in a while. Family, friends, lovers, no one escapes without an occasional fight. Today is a day to end the fight, kiss, and make up. Oh, what fun this day can be!

Today is a day to end the fight, be it a short spat, or a long standing feud. C'mon, get over the issues, and resolve your differences. Then, kiss and make up. After all, making up can be oh, so sweet. For lovers, it is the best part of the fight. Some might suggest that the kissing and the making up part makes fighting worthwhile.

BTW: Kiss and Make up Day might be a good day to send flowers.

National Second Hand Wardrobe Day - 8-25-07 (entry #2)

Saturday, August 25th is also NATIONAL SECOND HAND WARDROBE DAY!

Americans love a bargain, as well as the hunt for a good deal — but many people draw the line at buying used clothing. That’s why this is National Second-Hand Wardrobe Day.

The idea is to encourage thrift store donations, and to remove the stigma of buying previously used clothing and accessories by noting their economic and ecological benefits.

Across the U.S., there are nearly 92,000 stores selling used merchandise, usually including clothing, and they have annual sales of nearly $10 billion. Some are commercial ventures, many are run by nonprofit organizations. About 80 percent of such stores do not have paid employees.

GO BUCKEYES!!!

"Think BEFORE you Flame" (part 1)... 8-24-07 - entry #2...

I must be in the need for some chocolate... because I am about to go on a rant about a few things... I may even do more... when I can remember the other things I've been wanting to say for awhile now.

(WARNING: This is long... AND... The following is my opinion! I don't like to force it upon anyone... it's just well... right now, it's just these things got me to thinking... & I wish to share my thoughts on the subjects!! This way, I don't have to bend the ear of just one person... Also, it gives you a little more insight of what I'm really like!!)

Ok, let me start with.. 1st... when I receive an email (or a message through 360)... please don't be offended if I don't reply right away.

1. Yahoo is experiencing difficulties (which I don't mind, because I realize no site will ever be 100% free of glitches... wish everyone would remember that, before they criticize!!) & I may not have received it yet.

2. I may just be not able to get to the computer for a while, because hubby is using it... or I'm cleaning (which I should be doing now, instead of ranting to you!)... or... well, many things! Just know I will eventually reply... if it's something to reply to!!

3. I'm not one who likes to fwd emails to others just because it says so in the email... & especially if it says something like: send this or "else"... I think it should be up to the receiver if they want to fwd to their friends or not.

4. With that said, if I do fwd you something, it's because I thought it was cute, interesting or important enough to share! & Most times I'll modify the email & take out the "request" to fwd it to others & replace it with a note of my own. And I try to make it look like it's not a fwd!! Sometimes that's hard!!

Ok, does that make sense? I hope so, because I'm moving on to my next rant...

This has to deal with all the "troll talk" & other problems going on it Yahoo Answers!!

I really enjoy Yahoo Answers... but I am tired of people telling me I need to be on "troll patrol"!! Though I think it's necessary... I don't want to be a part of it... So, if you ask me... please don't be offended if I turn you down, or I just don't reply to it.

Along the same lines... I wish there IS something we can do to get the word out... TO STOP with the TROLLING... because I'm afraid these people are going to "ruin it" for the rest of us. I have this feeling Yahoo is going to shut Y/A down without notice!! I really don't want that to happen... because I enjoy it! & I use it for serious questions ... not just Nascar or Polls & Surveys!!

With ALL that said... Now you have been given a glimpse into my thought about "Think Before You Flame!!"

Now, on a totally different subject... I was reading **ER**'s blog the other day & she brought up something very interesting... Kids & cell phones. (Please click on her name & read what she has to say...) Because, my opinion on this matter will make more sense if you read her posting 1st. (You don't have to... just a suggestion!)

She really peaked my interest by giving it the title "Fred Savage didn't have one!" ... that there gets me to thinking!!! Because there is SO MUCH that kids have now a days that wasn't even thought of back in our days in school!!

It's no wonder so many kids are failing school!
I say this with a humble heart... because my son failed 2 grades... 8th grade, not sure why... 10th grade (last year) because he missed so much school from being in trouble! So, now he's going to be 18 in less than 3 weeks & is only in the 10th grade! (If you're a regular reader of my blog... you'll know what this is about! If not, please email me & I'll be happy to share with you, what's going on... or send you a link to past blogs.)

Anyway, kids are acting just like kids in saying "But everyone else... (fill in the blank.)"... & in **ER**'s blog, she mention her son is trying to get her to buy him a cell phone. & She wants to know what everyone thinks... (Her blogs are AWESOME! If you have the time... take a look at her past entries! If you enjoy my postings... you'll really enjoy hers!!!)

My opinion, it depends on the child. If you think they are responsible enough!! My son is not!!!

I know that my mom will not (nor will I!) get Mike (my son) a cell phone! (He maybe turning 18 soon... but he acts like he's turning 8 & a very immature one at that... Same goes with a driver's license!! Again, if you don't know why I mentioned my mom... please email me or read past blogs.)

To get back to my point... I feel this generation of children, have it WAY TO EASY!! They think others should do "it" (whatever) for them... or they will report the adult for mistreating them! Which in today's society... could be for the smallest thing!!

Now, don't get me wrong... I know there are some GREAT kids out there & I hope that it is them who will be leading our future! It's just I am afraid for those who think slacking of is the way to go.

What is is going to take to wake these ones up?? What are they going to do when they have to take care of themselves... & don't know how, because they didn't care enough to pay attention when someone was teaching them!! (Ok, yes, I am a bit biased on this opinion, because of how my son is... however, I see a lot of kids around & hear a lot about it on the news or here online that many are just like Mike!!)

It seems bad enough that I am worried about the future of out country... & world!! To be honest... I really wonder what God thinks of how we are treating his beautiful creations??? & It scares me to think that the world was worse than this in Noah & the Ark time!!

Which reminds me... I have something funny to share... & when I can find it again, I'll post it. (She hopes she can find it on line, so she can copy & paste... & doesn't have to type it all out herself!!!)

Yikes! I guess I really did get up on the "Soap Box"!! So, guess what ... I'm going to step down now & let someone else step up! So, if you want to voice your opinion... leave a comment and / or a link to your blog with your opinions!

(One more little rant... I really need a new computer because the "slowing down" issue while I'm typing a long blog seems to be my computer!! .... and it needs to be a laptop so that I can take it with me!! So when my creative mind gets to working... I can type it, instead of writing... because if I write fast, I can't even read it at times!! LOL!!)

Hope no one has commented yet... because I forgot my poll... Here ya go... If you want to be anonymous of your opinion about my opinion... here's a way to do so... vote! No one, including me knows how you vote... unless you want to!!
