Rick and Bubba

I was listening to Rick and Bubba this morning on my local radio station while on my way to get a Java Monster. Anyway, they were talking about the troops in Iraq and is it a good idea to send the following entertainers to entertain the troops. First it was Jessica Simpson, followed by Disturbed and to close it out Comedian Carlos Mencia . They were asking who came up with this brainstorm and list of artists. Anyway, it was pretty funny as the only entertainer on that list that I like is Carlos Mencia he is crass but, makes me laugh. The others I could take or leave.

Things to Do In Huntsville

I was thinking of different things to do if you are new to Huntsville or if you are just visiting. The Huntsville/Madison County Convention and Visitors Bureau has a list of attractions to see. Some of the places on here I had even forgot about. Alabama Constitution Village is always a good place to take your kids. I remember going on school field trips there as a student in elementary school. They have some interesting things about Alabama's History there. If that is not your speed then there is always Sci-Quest which is a hands on Science center for kids. I myself have never been as this was something that opened after I left the area and was out of School. Another favorite place is the US Space and Rocket Center. It is the home of Space Camp which just celebrated it's 25 anniversary last year.

Java Monster

First of all let me start by saying I am not a coffee drinker. I only recently started drinking coffee. My husband got me hooked on Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha which is just sweet enough to mask the taste of coffee. One day my husband was telling me about Java Monster and that they had a new flavor out that taste like Baileys Irish Creme. So about 2 weeks ago we found where they sell the Irish Flavored Java monster and it was quite tasty. So tasty in fact I had to try the Russian Blend which tastes like a White Russian again sweet and yummy. I recently tried the lo ball which is the lo carb version of Mean Bean. I have tasted both the Lo Ball and the Mean Bean while they both are tasty I prefer the Mean Bean as it does not leave the aftertaste that artificial sweetener does. The Lo Ball is a good substitute if you can't find Mean Bean. After having tried 3 of the 5 new Java Monster my favorites in order are Mean Bean, Irish, Russian and Lo Ball.

Virus Hoaxes

So my husband posted some tips about how to determine if an email you get is a hoax or if it is a true virus. This was prompted by an email that i received from my parents earlier in the week. The email that was forwarded to me was a hoax although it did have a link to a real virus that was confirmed on Snopes. The first time I got the email I deleted it. Second time a few days later my mom forwarded it with a note asking us to check it out so we did and sent her the response. Well yesterday the same email was forwarded yet again so we resent our response and more information regarding the hoax and how to tell. Now today I get yet another email that is a hoax that has been circulating the Internet for 8 years now. In the case of this email I responded to my parents and the person that sent them the email stating it is a hoax and that they should take the time to research these things before they hit the forward button. If you are going to send an email with a link saying that...

Vista SP1 may block some 3rd party apps

I was just telling my husband last night that SP1 will be available soon. He runs Vista on his new laptop and I still run XP Home on mine. I really see no reason to change from XP and I am happy with it. I know when I eventually get a new system it will most likely have Vista on it. I have a friend who recently got a new desktop and it has Vista and she has had issues with it using up lots of memory. Maybe if I wait long enough I can get a system that has an operating system that is not such a memory hog.

Wink Flash

A good friend of mine just told me about this web site where you can upload your pictures and print them. They will ship them to you in less than a week. Kind of cool. We had a conversation about this site the other day since I had just gotten Christmas pictures printed for my mom and sister. They appeal mostly to Scrapbookers which my friend is but, where else can you get pictures printed for 6 cents each. Most local places charge you about 19 cents a picture. I am not sure how long the sale is but, it is really a good price to get pictures developed. If only we took more pictures. Maybe next time I need to get pictures developed I will try them out.

One Gun Dealer two Campus Shootings

This is kind of creepy to me. How ironic is it that the same online dealer sold guns to two different campus shooters? I thought that we were supposed to have background checks and waiting periods for a reason.

Joran Van Der Sloot will not be arrested again

This makes me crazy. I have said before that I thought that he was guilty. I still believe that. It seems like every time I think that the Holloway Family will get closure something else happens that makes me doubt that Natalee's killer will get what he deserves. It also seems to me that he will get away with it too. That does not sit well with me at all that someone would get away with killing someone or even covering up what really happened to Natalee. The most recent set back is that the judge will not arrest Van Der Sloot again.

IOC will allow Blogging at the Olympics

I was surfing Google News and ran across this article about the Olympics and Blogging. I find it interesting that the IOC does not think of blogging as a form of Journalism but, as a form of personal expression. I think that it can be seen as both not mostly one or the other. Some people do use blogs solely for personal expression but, I see many journalists using blogging platforms to post their stories and not just their opinions about the stories. I am glad that they will let the athletes blog about their experiences at the Olympics.

Valentines Day

Where has February gone? It is hard to believe that tomorrow is Valentines Day. I hope everyone has a good Valentines. Is anybody doing anything special for Valentines? We normally go out but this year we decided to cook at home. We are going to have Steak and Baked Potatoes. I purchased the individually wrapped potatoes. Anyway, my husband was surprised that you could buy them one at a time. He goes shopping with me every now and then but, I guess he just does not pay as much attention as I thought he did when shopping. Does your hubby or significant other pay attention to what you buy or could he care less? Speaking of dinner I was at my dad's this morning and he had some homemade spaghetti sauce that he sent home with me. So tonight we have pasta and sauce for dinner.

No Microhoo

Way to go Yahoo. I like Yahoo for some things, google for some things and microsoft for very few things. I am glad that Yahoo is not going to accept the offer from Microsoft. Not to say that it would not have made for an interesting merger. It has definitely made for some newsworthy blogging for a lot of people.

Work on the Parkway

As if this section of the parkway was not a problem already. I suppose it will get worse before it gets better. This is a much needed and overdue project on that end of town. I guess that hubby and I will have to use all the alternate ways we know to get to my parents house. I thought it was bad in the midwest where we only had two seasons. Winter and Construction season. Parkway overpass from Whitesburg to Weatherly under way- al.com

Smokers Sleep Less

So this must be the reason why Art is such a pain to get up in the mornings when his alarm goes off. Here I thought it was all the caffeine that he drinks. Fortunately for me tomorrow will not be a problem for me unless he waits till noon to get up. Glad that the weekend is almost here.

Not Much of a Surprise

This is not much of a surprise. The timing however is and his reasons were kind of odd. One of his reasons was because if he stayed in till the convention then Hillary or Barack would win and considering he was running on the republican ticket and not the democratic. Just seems kind of odd to me all around.

Super Tuesday

Well today is Super Tuesday have you voted yet? I did it this morning when it was not very busy. Polls close at 7pm tonight. Hopefully everyone who wanted to have a say did their voting in the primaries today. I will be voting in November as well to elect our new president.
