Somebody Has to Say It

Do you want to make money from home using the internet? Do you have a blog? If not, that’s the first place to start. There are numerous sites available that will host your blog for free. This site here that I use for my blog is a popular site.

So, you’ve got a blog, but how do you make money with it? By writing about the latest hot topics and popular subjects. Things like celebrity gossip, hollywood scandals, movie stars, “how to” self help tips, recipes, where to find freebies, how to make money, latest hairstyle and makeup trends … the list goes on and on. But how do you know what topics are truly hot and popular? How do you find out what words people are typing into search engines? Click here to find the answer!

According to TMZ.com, Nadya Suleman has been offered a million dollars if she will sign up with Vivid Entertainment. Vivid is a porn star movie distributor and said that, along with the money, they will provide family medical and dental coverage is she will become a contract girl and star in multiple videos. There’s no word from Suleman as to whether she will take them up on their offer. Although from what I’ve read she could use the money! But who knew stretch marks and flappy skin could be so sexy?? Give me a break! What are your thoughts on this?

Are you going to Denny’s for free breakfast on Tuesday, 2/3/09?

If you watched the Super Bowl on 2/1/09 then you probably saw the Denny’s advertisement announcing the free Grand Slam breakfast. There is also a full page ad in today’s edition of USA Today.

According to what I’ve heard and read, everyone who goes to Denny’s from 6am - 2pm on Tuesday - 2/3/09 - will receive 1 free Grand Slam breakfast. Each person will also get a coupon book that has eight coupons in it. The coupons will be (4) buy-one-get-one types, (2) 25% off variety, (1) for a free dessert, and (1) for a free order of pancake puppies.

Rumor has it that each Denny’s in the United States has 1,000 of the coupon books to hand out to patrons who order a free Grand Slam on Tuesday. Each store will supposedly also have 500 rain check coupons good for a free Grand Slam breakfast to give to anyone who comes to Denny’s on Tuesday but doesn’t have time to wait.

Can you imagine how long the lines are going to be? I “might” go and see if I can get a rain check, but will not stand in a long line for a free breakfast. I don’t need the 1000+ calories and don’t have time, patience, or stamina to wait in a line for who knows how long. But this sounds like a good deal for those who like to wait and have the time and patience.

Leave a comment here if you go and give details for how long the lines were, how long the wait was, the service staff, etc.

This is a plea to all the media outlets - please stop reporting on Patrick Swayze’s battle with pancreatic cancer unless you have solid concrete facts! To publish a story that is not true just for the shock value or just to make a buck is inhumane. Cancer patients are fighting for their lives and a HUGE part of that fight is HOPE. It’s hard enough going through chemo that makes you feel like a train-wreck every day. 

So this is a plea, as a cancer survivor myself, I ask that you put your journalistic greed aside and give Patrick a break. Do not print a defeatist story saying he’s stopped his chemotherapy treatment or that he only “x” amount of days to live unless you have checked your facts. Mr. Swayze is in a battle for his life and should not have to spend one minute dispelling rumors about his health. His time is precious and he and his wife Lisa need to hang on to hope. Constantly hearing hopeless news stories about how bad pancreatic cancer is and untruth’s about his condition and/or treatment detracts from that hope. 

So I say shame on you! Shame on the reporters, magazines, and newspapers who print untrue stories about him … you obviously care more about shocking headlines and making money than a man’s life. 

According to a story on the USA Today website, the Snuggie is a pop culture hit. I’m sure you’ve all seen the TV infomercials showing them. It’s nothing more than a big fleece blanket sewn together with a collar and sleeves. Personally, I think the people in those commercials look like a bunch of monks sitting around wearing them. It’s hilarious! Not to mention the cost. Gee whiz folks, just grab a blanket or shawl and keep your money in the bank. Or get up OFF of the couch or out of the easy chair and get some exercise and you won’t need a Snuggie because you’ll be nice and warm. You might even lose a few pounds and gain some health benefits from the exercise too.

If you want a laugh, just watch the YouTube video and read some of the comments.

While you’re at YouTube, you might as well check out the Tiddy Bear commercial. It’s even funnier than the Snuggie.

Come on folks … just turn off the TV, put the Snuggie and Tiddy Bear out of your mind, and move along.
