Betty Be Blogging!
I’ve heard of some pretty wild and wacky things but this is really different and I might point out, very sad.
This is the type of story that should have been read on The Tonight Show when Jay Leno was the host with all of his other crazy newspaper tidbits! He used to get some pretty outrageous things that have been put into print!
The fires that are once again taking place in California are devastating to all concerned. California is so broke that they are having a difficult time providing for their citizens much less being able to afford fighting these horrible fires. I feel for the fire fighters that must be suffering terribly with the hot temperatures in California and with the heat of the fires on top of it must be hell.
Every year this happens and every year I wonder when the fires won’t have anything left to burn. It must be a scary place to live and work.
My brother has been urging me to switch my web hosting to Web Hosting Hub. He says that they offer reliable web hosting and that he has been happy with them for some time now.
My brother is a total computer whiz and I’m grateful for all that he has done for me over the years with my various computer issues and needs. He hasn’t steered me wrong yet, so I guess I’ll consider switching over. I don’t think that making a major decision or move right now would be in my best interest, but after the hot and humid days and nights are over and done with I’ll be back on track with most things and I think it would be the best time to make a change such as this.
I’m hoping that I’ll be getting a new laptop for my birthday, that would be awesome. My mother has been picking my brain for a few weeks now trying to find out what the perfect gift would be for her to give me on that morning and I’ve told her time and time again that I have everything that I need other than a new laptop. I don’t want to get my hopes up but it really would be a great if she did do that for me.
Recently, in a large city in Australia, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.
It said, “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?” A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern,
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans.) They have an active sex life, get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia , the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia . Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don’t exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don’t have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have sex? Just look at them … where is IT? Therefore, they don’t have kids either. Not to mention, who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store? The choice is perfectly clear to me: I want to be a whale.
P..S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and a piece of chocolate with my friends. With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, ¨Good grief, look how smart I am!¨
How would you like to see this coming at you in the rear view mirror? What an awesome piece of work this guy has to show for all of his hard work. I just wonder how it rides. Looks like it might be a long stretch to the handle bars unless the owner has some pretty long arms.
A few months ago I was hearing of all the nasty germs that were found on the bottom of purses. I have been trying to keep up with keeping my purse’s bottom side a bit cleaner and not putting on the kitchen counter or dining room table. Now the big news is about how dirty our flip flops are and how they are finding all types of gross germs on them. Guess I’ll have to start paying better attention to my flip flops now, sigh………………..
As much as I hate germs I just don’t think I could put my flip flops in the dishwasher along with a load of dishes, that’s just wrong!
I remember reading this article, can’t believe it has been six years since this was announced. I thought enough of this information to post it here on May 1, 2009 and am still excited about it and wanted to re-post it today.
Press Release:
Taking Control: Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases May Be Found in Women’s Menstrual Blood July 07, 2008: 01:28 PM EST
OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind – especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, blood clots, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body – in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.
Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.
“C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way,” said Michelle Kay, Marketing and Sales Manager for C’elle. “We live in exciting times, as science and technology are discovering how extremely valuable menstrual blood stem cells really are, and the enormous treatment potential they represent for future therapies. C’elle’s ongoing research is supporting these promising findings.”

I have always enjoyed watching the Flash Mob videos that would pop up once in a while on the TV. I can’t believe that it didn’t even occur to me that I could Google “Flash Mob” and come up with plenty of these hilarous Flash Mob videos that I so enjoy seeing. I really wish that I could participate in something like this, so today I am Googling “Flash Mob” and see if I can find any that I haven’t seen all ready and see if I can find information on how to be a participant in something like that.
Wish me luck and if anyone out there knows how to get involved in a Flash Mob, please let me know. I’m having issues with getting videos from YouTube on here, it’s really starting to piss me off and I can’t seem to find anyone that can help me find out what is different now and how to fix it. I really wanted to post my favorite “Flash Mob” video on here entitled “Frozen Grand Central” it is a perfect example of so many people getting together and doing something just for the sake of messing with people’s minds! Gotta love it!!!!!
Things (the economy) just are not turning around fast enough for most people. People’s savings accounts are being depleted quickly, more houses are being foreclosed on and the unemployment rate is still on the rise. I’m hearing way too many horror stories from so many people. This is going to be another rough holiday season for most of us. I know I’m not looking forward to it. I’m going to have to drastically down size my gift list, which I hope people will be understanding about. The family has even talked about doing away with our traditional gift giving this year. What a bummer.
My sister hasn’t been able to find a job in over six months and her unemployment is going to run out in the next few weeks. I don’t know what she is going to. She has been talking about getting one of those quick cash loans online, but is concerned with her bad credit history and all that goes along with that. I know that there are ways to rais? your credit score, so I advised her to use the Internet to see if she can find a reliable company that will help her out in her time of financial need.
I am all about going and being as “green” as possible these days. It isn’t really difficult considering that I was raised by parents that were tuned in to saving valuable energy and totally into recycling since they were young. They were from the hippie days and they taught me a lot during my childhood in order for me to continue their efforts and ways of life that they and I are so proud of.
I’m happy to have found that there are many opportunities out there for us to help us all go “green“, including ways to get the best web hosting sites that are supporting the “green” movement. At Web Hosting Geeks.com they have provided us with the top 8 web hosting companies that are Eco-friendly. These sites are using alternative and/or renewable energy, they are planting trees, recycling waste and purchase RECs in order to power their data centers and I think that this is simply awesome! I would anyone to check this list out at web hosting geeks dot com and find a green web hosting that would work for them to help contribute to this important movement.
For more information you can check out their blog as well that has several posts concerning Green Web Hosting, it’s all good!
