Preparing For The April 1st Conficker Worm - Protect Your Computer - March 31, 2009

The Conficker worm is already embedded in many personal computer's and is expected to do something (although nobody knows exactly what) on April 1, 2009. Whether the worm will cause damage to computers, give the hackers access to personal information like credit card or bank accounts, or is just a big hoax is unknown but Microsoft is taking the Conficker worm seriously sending out warnings and offering a $250,000 award for the conviction of the Conficker worm culprit.

You can find out if your computer is likely to have the Conficker worm and what to do if your PC has been affected on the Microsoft.com website, you can also try out the Conficker Eye Chart to see if your computer is at risk.

If you don't have anti-virus protection on your computer you're likely at risk. You can download a free trial of McAfee or Norton Anti-Virus online and perform a scan of your computer to find out if you're infected. Your best bet though is to purchase protection such as Norton Antivirus 2009 so that your computer will be completely protected.

TheFoxNation.com Launched Today - So Far It Sucks

Today is the day of the big "Fox News" launch of the new website TheFoxNation.com. The March 30, 2009 launch of Fox Nation is the biggest online news today and everyone wants to check out the new site.

I visited TheFoxNation.com to see what all of the buzz was about. I saw an article that I was interested in reading but the page wouldn't load. I sat on the site waiting for 10 minutes and couldn't get an article to load (I tried several times). All I could do was read stupid comments on articles that I had no access too. So far the site sucks as much as the following site promo video but it's in Beta Phase so perhaps there's still hope:

Justin Timberlake Wears Panty Hose on SNL Skit With Beyonce - Watch The Video!

I watch Saturday Night Live nearly every week but I somehow managed to miss the recent Justin Timberlake skit with Beyonce Knowles. The funny video has been viewed by millions of viewers on YouTube.com and was featured on today's Oprah Winfrey Show where Justin Timberlake was a guest. My all time favorite Justin Timberlake SNL skit is "#### In a Box" but this one is great too, check it out:

3 Day Potty Training For Boys and Girls - My Parenting Advice


Topping today's list of hottest Google Search Trends is "3 Day Potty Training." Parents are searching for the website 3daypottytraining.com where they offer parents an Ebook. I'm not even going to link to the website because after reading through it I thought it was pretty ridiculous.

Potty training should be fun, I've potty trained my four children, each of them within a week and I didn't need to follow a firm set of instructions from a book. I just made it fun and read them potty training books like "A Potty for Me!: A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual" and celebrated every time my child used the potty. (By celebrating I mean that the whole family would join in clapping, cheering, and jumping up and down - basically just making a big deal over the potty accomplishment).

Some parents give their child a sticker or cheerios every time they go potty to reinforce their good behavior. Does it really matter if a child learns how to potty train within 3 days, I think the key is to make it a fun and relaxing experience for both parent and child.

Willie Aames - Teen Heart Throb To Bankruptcy and Garage Sale

Actor Willie Aames was once on top of the world starring in the hit shows "Eight Is Enough" and "Charles In Charge" but after going bankrupt the former teen sex idol is reduced to selling off his household items in a neighborhood garage sale yesterday, March 26, 2009.

I think Willie Aames, 48, still has the star power to hold a high end auction to make the cash he needs so desperately, it's extremely sad to see him put his teenage memorabilia outside of his Kansas home for others to grab for a few bucks but he felt that's what he needed to do as his home faces foreclosure.

Like so many other child actors Aames career went downhill after he became addicted to cocaine and alcohol. Willie Aames filed for bankruptcy in 2008 owing $350,000 and separated from his wife. He tried to commit suicide in 2008 on Thanksgiving Day.

Willie Aames should consider setting up a website to ask for donations, he gave a lot to his fans during the height of his career and I'm sure that his fans would be willing to give something back to him in his time of need.

Member Of Angels In Waiting Says Nadya Suleman Doesn't Care About Her Children

I couldn't resist the temptation to watch today's Dr. Phil Show even though it's the fifteenth billion show on the subject of octuplet mom Nadya Suleman. Every time Nadya Suleman makes a decision Dr. Phil dedicates a complete hour to the woman. People are wondering whether Nadya Suleman is obsessed with Angelina Jolie, I've been wondering if Dr. Phil is obsessed with Nadya Suleman.

Today's March 25, 2009 show discussed whether or not Nadya Suleman was wrong to fire the "Angels In Waiting" volunteers that were set up for her by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.

Nadya Suleman said that she felt like a stranger in her own home with the "Angels In Waiting" staff in the house. She also said they made her feel very uncomfortable.

One of the members of the "Angels In Waiting" spoke out on today's show saying that after being in the home for a week she feels that Nadya Suleman doesn't care about her kids and cares more about the fame, paparazzi, and shopping.

It's hard to know which side to believe because from what I've seen of Gloria Allred and the volunteers they do seem like they're on the attack. It's obvious they dislike Nadya Suleman so it's no wonder they are making her feel uncomfortable.

I think that everyone should get off Suleman's back and give her the time to prove whether or not she's the devoted mother that she portrays herself to be but with this much media interest that's unlikely to happen. Dr. Phil stated at the end of the show that it's time for the media (including the Dr. Phil Show) to move on and let the Suleman family be. A few minutes later tomorrow's Dr. Phil Show was announced, and you guessed it, it's all about Nadya Suleman. Looks like the moving on sentiment didn't last too long.

David Letterman Marries Regina Lasko - Check Out Link To Pics and Bio


61-year-old David Letterman has married his longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko, 48. The two have been together for over a decade and have a 5-year-old son named Harry together.

It is hard to find a picture or bio of Regina Lasko but I managed to track down some information on the new Mrs. Letterman here.

David Letterman didn't think he would ever get married a second time (he was married to Michelle Cook from 1969-1977). On the day of the wedding he was lucky to make it to the ceremony after his car got stuck in the mud and he had to walk back to his house for help.

Congratulations to the happy couple on finally tying the knot!

Octomom Fires Dr. Phil Nannies - March 24 2009

Nadya Suleman originally planned to have a team of volunteer nannies from the "Angels In Waiting" organization to provide around the clock care for her eight newborn infants. Dr. Phil told Nadya Suleman about the free service during one of her recent Dr. Phil interviews.

After bringing home the first two of the octuplets from the hospital Nadya has decided to fire the volunteers and go with her own privately hired nannies. Thanks to the massive amount of publicity she's received she can afford to pay for her own help.

I have to admit I think this is a good decision on Nadya Suleman's part. While watching the Dr. Phil show I had the feeling that this volunteer group was ready to sweep in an care for the children under their own terms and Nadya better do exactly as they said.

People can criticize Suleman all they want for her previous bad choices but she is still the octuplets mother and has the right to parent them under her own terms. She's surrounded by people right now who are watching her every move so I'm sure she'll be doing her best to parent all of her kids well. Nadya and her 14 children should have the right to be comfortable in their own home.

Octomom Brings Babies Home - Says Her Plan Was Welfare - March 23 2009

Nadya Suleman brought home the first of her octuplets followed by a swarm of paparazzi eager to get pictures of the newborns.

Suleman recently stated that her plan before her opportunities (which Dr.Phil has provided) was to go on government assistance. Something the public already figured but was still shocked to actually hear her say out loud.

Dr. Phil has helped Nadia Suleman pull her life together, find a home and get it ready so that she would not lose custody of her eight newborn babies. He has also set her up with "Angels In Waiting," a charitable organization that will be caring for the octuplets 24/7 until Nadya can care for them on her own.

Katie Holmes $43,000 Princess Makeover - March 21 2009


I haven't heard much about actress Katie Holmes lately until this morning. While browsing through the news I saw an article talking about Katie's $43,000 makeover. According to the UK's Daily Mail the star spent $43,000 in the span of 48 hours on "pampering sessions" by beauty experts. I'm not sure if this is just a rumor an actual fact, I can't even comprehend someone spending that amount of money on a makeover but then I'm not mega rich and married to Tom Cruise who's most likely footing the bill.

Lightship Research Provides Help For Job Seekers

"This is a sponsored review - I have received monetary compensation to write about this website - I highly recommend doing a thorough background search on any company before using their services.

Judging by the following testimonial LightshipResearch.com is helping those who have lost their careers get their lives back on track again:

"I lost my job as Vice President of Sales with a national technology firm and signed up for assistance with a career management firm that turned out to be terrible. I gave them $10K and they did nothing, not even return my calls. I called my lawyer and he got most of my money back and said that his neighbor had used a company called Lightship Research http://www.lightshipresearch.com. They charged less than a quarter of what the other company did and were accessible and they’re for me every step of the way. I even felt like the whole team were my friends and went through the same emotional ups and downs as I did through my job search. It took me 9 weeks and now I am the VP of Sales for a fast growing biometrics company. These are highly hard working and ethical people. I recommend them to everyone I talk to." -M. Olson, PA

CNN Reports - Recession and Haircuts - Oh The Tragedy

There's nothing funny about the current economic recession but I did think this CNN video clip was pretty darn hilarious. While some people can't afford to by groceries for their children or are worried if they'll ever attend college others are talking about the horror of infrequent haircuts.

Our family cut back on hairdressing costs by going less often and leaving our family hairstylist to go to the much cheaper First Choice Haircutters (which is available in both U.S. and Canada).

Since people are cutting back on anything they can hairdressers are suffering just as all businesses are right now. Hairdressers who give really good deals on services will probably keep making money during the recession. After all the reason people stop going to the hairdresser is because they charge a lot in the first place.

I do feel sorry for the store owner but I don't think it tops the lists of recession suffering, check it out:

Keep Your Family Powered Up With a Standby Generator

Whenever our neighborhood experiences a power outage all you can see is sheer darkness except for one neighbor whose house is completely lit up thanks to his generator. His family is always cozy, warm, and safe, even on the coldest nights of the year.

Often times it's brutal winter storms that knock out the electricity, and nothing is worse than the power going out in the dead of winter, within in a few hours I have the kids bundled up in their winter jackets wrapped in blankets and I begin to consider whether we should book a hotel room for the night. The worst part of a power outage is not knowing how long it will last. We once had no electric power for three days!

I definitely think it's worth it to have a All Year Electric generator. Instead of freezing in the winter or doing wacky things like boiling water for your tea on the barbecue you can simply keep your electric power running all year round and have the peace of mind of knowing you won't be affected by the next electric power outage. If you've been thinking of getting a generator for your home you can check out different kinds of generators online at www.getastandbygenerator.com.

Oprah Winfrey's New Puppy Close To Death

Oprah Winfrey's new puppy Sadie nearly died after coming down with the parvovirus. Oprah recently introduced the Blond Cockerspaniel which she adopted from a local animal shelter to her show audience, encouraging viewers to choose adoption the next time they purchase a pet.

The canine parvovirus is a contagious virus spread from dog to dog through direct contact or indirect contact (feces). The virus is much like the feline version which affects cats.

The parvovirus causes serious symptoms of fever, vomiting, lethargy, and diarrhea which can lead to dehydration and anemia.

There have been many online news reports stating that Oprah's puppy Sadie has died but the reliable celebrity news source People.com has reported that Sadie has pulled through and is now recovering. Unfortunately Sadie's brother "Ivan" who was also adopted by Oprah died a couple of days after going home.

How To Make Green Beer and Other St. Patrick's Day Drinks, March 17, 2009

I've always wondered how bars and restaurants make green beer for their St. Patrick's Day celebrations. I looked it up on the Internet today and would you believe it, you simply add a single drop of green food coloring to a glass of beer. I'm kind of sad that I didn't figure that one out on my own.

If your planning on making your own drinks for St. Patrick's Day I found a few great websites that list special green or Irish recipes:

1) BethanyRoberts.com - Great Irish drink recipes, including coffee recipes.

2) AssociatedContent.com - Ten green alcoholic drinks.

3) AmazingMoms.com - Kid friendly St. Patrick Day drinks.

Hope you find a special St. Patrick's Day drink recipe to celebrate with!

Half Ton Son Receives Gastric Bypass Surgery



I recently saw the television documentary "Half Ton Son" which features a teenager named Billy Robbins who weighs over 500 pounds. It's an incredibly sad story and it's obvious that his mother is a huge part of Billy's weight problem. Throughout the documentary I felt as though it was the mother's goal to keep him her "little baby" forever which gave me the creeps.

My heart goes out to Billy, hopefully the fact that he worked hard to get ready for his Gastric Bypass surgery will inspire other seriously overweight teens to seek help before it's too late.

You can find out more information on weight loss procedures at Journeylite.com where they offer lap-band houston surgeries for patients who qualify.

Hotmail Server Too Busy - Hotmail Users Have Frustrating Day

I've been using hotmail for years and it's very rare that their servers have problems but today, March, 12, 2009 the Hotmail website has repeatedly shown the "server too busy" page when trying to access their hotmail email account.

It's frustrating for hotmail users especially those who rely on their email for business purposes. I'm a freelance writer who's hotmail account is linked to job offers, payment notices, etc., so when hotmail is down so are my job opportunities. Since it's an entirely free service how can we really complain since it's a reliable email service 99% of the time.

Recession Tip - Saving On New Furniture

During the recession there has been a ton of free information on the Web and Television on how to save money on purchases. One money saving tip I tried out this month was to check the discount area of a local furniture store.

The furniture showroom was huge but it wasn't long until I found a little room off to the side filled with slightly damaged pieces of furniture at slashed prices. There was a thousand dollar dresser missing it's handles available for $200.00. I couldn't believe it. They also had an expensive tv stand with a nick in it on sale for only a quarter of the price.

I ended up with a huge dining table that was originally priced at $800.00 for only $200.00. The corner has been slightly damaged which was fixed with a touch of paint. An amazing deal. So if you don't like thrift stores take a look for something brand new that's just not perfect. You could save thousands on your furniture budget!

Create Business Website In Less Than 30 Minutes Using Blue Voda Drag and Drop System

"This is a purchased review - I have received monetary compensation to write about this link/website/product - I recommend doing a thorough background on any company before purchasing their services."

If you own a small, medium, or large business and you don't have a business website you are risking losing money as your online competitors steal your potential customers. In these modern times people are used to being able to order products online and have them delivered, check for store times and locations online, or find out more about a business from the comfort of their own homes.

I personally choose everything based on information found on local websites. I chose my children's dance lessons and summer camp activities by browsing websites online. I also check online store flyers before heading out to do my weekly shopping. If your business doesn't have a website to lure potential customers and your competitor does than you're in trouble.

The number one reason that business owners don't have a website is lack of technical skills. They simply don't know how to build a website. If you don't know HTML code or how to use Front Page or Photoshop programs you can still build a website.

BlueVoda allows you to create your own website in under 30 minutes with their super easy drag and drop system. You don't need to have computer skills to build a nice website and you can even add a store front for online shoppers to use. By choosing from their range of designs you can create your own look in no time.

All you need to access the BlueVoda system is a computer and Internet connection. If you visit www.bluevoda.com you can find out more about how to create website.

Bachelor Jason has to be the biggest idiot ever. At least on Flavor Flave's reality show he portrays himself as a heartless jigiloo. On Bachelor Season 13 Jason acted as though he was a knight in shining armor looking for the right mother for his son when really he was just getting a whole lot a sex from a whole lot of women. Before Molly gets a ring she might also want to get checked for STD's, what a beautiful way to start a new relationship.

Dr. Seuss Birthday - What Did The Children's Writer Look Like?


I've been a big fan of Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) since using his books to read my first words as a four-year-old child. Now as a mother I have just about every Dr. Seuss book imaginable sitting on my children's book shelf and they are still my favorites. But until today I'd never seen a picture of the writer behind some of the world's best children's books, he was a bit of a mystery.

Ted Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 and died September 24, 1991. Since today is Geisel's birthday fans are taking the chance to talk about his most famous books and Google has even created a special design for their search page to celebrate the day. I know that Dr. Seuss is famous for the classic children's book "The Cat in the Hat" but our personal family favorite is "The Foot Book," the most read Dr. Seuss book over the years and a great one for teaching left and right!

I consider Ted Geisel to be one of the best artists and poets of all time. His work truly sparks the imagination. If Geisel were alive today he would be turning 105. Happy birthday Dr. Seuss!

Britney Spears Concert - New York - March 11 2009


Britney Spears Circus Tour is beginning on March 3, 2009 and tickets to some locations are already sold out! Britney's 7th concert tour looks like it will be her best ever. She's got a line up of fantastic songs, magic tricks, and special guest group "Pussycat Dolls."

She'll be playing in New York on March 11, 2009. I think it would even be worth a bit of traveling and staying the night at a New York City hotel to see the concert. Some fans don't think Britney's ready to take on such a demanding workload right now but others think it will be the best comeback she could ever make. Hopefully the star will be able to handle it, after all her life has been going pretty smoothly over the past several months.
