Why Can’t You Make Someone Love You?

It’s a fact that you can't make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loveable, the rest is up to the other person to comprehend your worth.

Are you someone who can be loved?

The reply is absolutely Yes! But you may not recognize that because you don't love yourself.

Seeing as how we all come into this world loving ourselves, what do you imagine happened to you?

How is it that you learned to not love yourself?

You can unravel the mystery of your life. Believe that you deserve to love yourself and be loved. You should be able to enjoy the pleasure and joy of true love. You can succeed. Believe it! I was at one time exactly where you are today, and I have love and success today. You can also.

You may not recognize this, but just by reading this, you are letting yourself know, I want to love myself.

This could be the beginning of your journey to self-love. This is where each person starts. They recognize something is wrong and they want to fix it so they can get their life back where it should be.

It's Like This...According to me...

I want you to seek advice on how to fall madly in love with yourself. It can get you back on track realizing all of your dreams in life.

Better Uses For The Obama White House Redecorating Allowance


Well, we have entered a historic milestone in US history with the President Elect Barak Obama. The Obama campaign was founded on the ‘grass roots’ way of thinking, the fact that the candidate understands the working class. So perhaps there are better ways to spend the $100,000.00 White House redecorating budget.

Of course, like with any new elected official, the Obama family will undergo the scrutiny of the US and of the world, especially with the landmark election of a minority. If the couple continues with date nights with dinner coming in at over $700.00, I’m sure it will raise some eyebrows as well. I will not disclose my political preference here, but will offer some views from my own life, which is middle class, working American.

Really, how much damage could the Bush family have done to the living quarters of the white house? Does it really need to be redecorated with a budget of $100,000.00? After all, in this failing economy, that amount of money is above what the normal working class brings home to support their family in an entire year.

...The Green Room.
The Bushes may by on their way out, but they are leaving their mark on the White House.


It’s like this….According to me….
I feel that there are better things that could be done with this large amount of money that the Obama’s will be using to decorate.

  • How much food could be supplied to a food bank to feed the less fortunate?
  • How many children without winter jackets or shoes could have some from Goodwill?
  • How many of our elderly could get flu shots that they can’t otherwise afford?
  • How many blankets could be supplied to homeless shelters?
  • How many suits or dresses fit for an interview could be supplied for the less fortunate so they may have some chance of landing an elusive job?
  • How many cots could be supplied for homeless shelters that are now housing the working class that have lost their homes?

These are just, of course, my views. I certainly feel that in this failing economy with the working class becoming the new poor…that there are much better ways for the Obama family to pave the way to a successful 4 years in the White House. It sure would show me something... and probably a lot of other people in the world who are waiting to see how much of the campaign was real.

Plastic Surgery Junkies

Nearly 11.7 million cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures were performed in the United States in 2007, according to statistics released today by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Some of these surgeries, as evidenced in the pictures here, was definitely ‘over-done’ on what some might call Plastic Surgery Junkies.


The Aesthetic Society has been collecting statistics since 1997 and says the overall number of cosmetic procedures has increased 457 % since the collection first began. The most frequently performed procedure was Botox injections and the most popular surgical procedure was liposuction.

Even more shocking is the increase in plastic surgery on teenagers. Nose reshaping appears to still be the most preferred among those under 18, but doctors are finding a steady rise in breast implants, liposuction, and tummy tucks as well. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of girls under 18 who received breast implants tripled from 2002 to 2003. Cosmetic surgery is also increasingly popular as a graduation or birthday gift.

Possible plastic surgery junkies go beyond reason. Perhaps they are unwisely shooting for perfection, for immortality. But they are on a hopeless chase. Regardless of whom one is - famous or otherwise - the same rules of life, aging and genetics govern us all.

Examples of overdone plastic surgery and perhaps some Plastic Surgery Junkies:
(Click on the pictures for a larger view)

Courtney Love
Courtney seems to be venturing into the world of plastic surgery junkies. She is starting to become unrecognizable with her multiple procedures. Her admitted two nose jobs, along with obvious other procedures, might well be just too many.


Norwood Young
Norwood Young is an R&B singer that hosts an annual winter holiday party. Michael Jackson isn't the only man to have a little too much done under the knife. You may be a plastic surgery junkie when the nose is just for show.




Heather
Heather had a nose job and breast implants early in her career and has most recently started with the lip injections and what appears to be a facelift. Her face is starting to look overdone.


Meg Ryan
Meg Ryan's over-done lips are a neon-sign for an extreme makeover and puts her on the list as a possible plastic surgery junkie.





Michael Jackson
The Michael Jackson nose is a definite example of what may be a plastic surgery junkie.



Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham's breasts could only be described as "bolt-ons", not original equipment are way over the top.




Bruce Jenner
Former Olympian Bruce Jenner's multiple procedures have made his face nearly unrecognizable and puts him on the list of possible plastic siugery junkies.



Kenny Rogers
Kenny Rogers' overdone eye and brow surgery changes make him look unnatural.



Carrot Top
Carrot Top is frequently cited as a top ten contender for most awful plastic surgery disasters, along with familiar faces like Michael Jackson, Jocelyn Wildenstein, and Kenny Rogers. The curly-haired comedian has become better known for his over-the-top appearance than he has for his comedy, which definitely qualifies him as a possible plastic surgery junkie.

Hillary Clinton
Yes, even Hil may be on her way to being a plastic surgery junkie.




If you are the ultimate plastic surgery junkie, in the future you may be able to opt for a complete face transplant.

Face transplant is a recent plastic surgery advance that improves facial appearance, especially for those with severe disfigurement from trauma. There is hope that the procedure will help people with congenital deformities in the future. The procedure is not yet readily available in the United States. But hold on ultimate plastic surgery junkies……it may be coming to your surgeon soon.

My Topless Rights: A New Way To Fight The Speedo


I have searched high and low for a way to stop hubby from wearing the Speedo…I may have found it just today at gotopless.org.

There is a group, gotopless.org that may be the answer to the Speedo dilemma. In my search for an answer, I came across a group for women to fight for their right to go topless in public places. It was reported that hundreds turned out to join the recent protest in California.

What an interesting way to get my point across about the Speedo….if Hubby has the right to show it all with the tiny red suit, then perhaps I’ll join the fight at gotopless.org for the right to bare my chest…….Ah Ha…

GoTopless.Org says "as long as men can be topless, constitutionally women should have the same right, or men should also be forced to wear something hiding their chest." I may contact them about adding a comment on Speedos….LOL

During the march for bare chests, protesters, many of whom wore plastic nipples over their clothes as a sign of their cause, argued that topless women are more pleasant to look at than some men who remove their shirts in public with no legal repercussions. Perhaps I will add to the cause at gotopless.org by sending the picture of Hubby and suggest they include the fight against Speedos in their agenda.

Of course I have seen some women who should refrain from the bare chest exhibition…..but I think Hubby might get the picture if I showed up at one of the pool parties with no top…….maybe I’ll even take pictures….LOL

There's always a new cause.....LOL


GoToppless.org Venice Protest

Speedo Anonymous

There is ‘AA’….Why not ‘SA’?

As promised previously, I am starting a movement...Who knows maybe it will catch on....

I personally think that the families of habitual Speedo wearing men are a public sector that deserves a support group to change men’s behavior and save the family from further embarrassment.

I am thinking of starting one and these would be my top 5 steps to become ‘clean’ from the Speedo.

The "SA' bylaws:

1.) Admit that you are powerless over the Speedo.

Speedo abusers who come to my group will have to wear their Speedo, stand in front of the group and admit that they have a problem.

‘SA’, however will not be as kind as other support groups. Family, friends and other group members will be allowed to taunt the new members to give them a dose, to their face, of what people really think about their Speedo.

2.) Take a critical look in the mirror.

This step will also be completed with the aid of the group. In order for the habitual Speedo wearer to understand the reason friends and family are so embarrassed they will be critiqued by members while looking in the mirror.

This is because the man with a Speedo problem does not see themselves the way others do.

3.) Make a list of all of those who have been directly harmed by Speedo wearing.

Most people that have been harmed by the Speedo don’t tell the offender, they tell the family members.

So the family members of the abuser will help him make the list. Wives will be #1 on the list.


4.) Tell each person how sorry you are and mean it.

Habitual Speedo wearing can damage relationships with friends and family as well as scare little children.

The abuser will need to whole heartedly take responsibility for his actions and mend broken fences in order to continue a normal relationship with those he has offended.

5.) Spread the word and throw away the Speedo.

In order to have successfully completed the 'SA' program for habitual Speedo use, the man in question would have to educate others on the error of their ways and the harm it can cause.

The final step in the program is to have a ceremony for discarding the Speedo, by any means that completly destroys it, to signify the end of its use forever.

Of course, these are the words of my frustration with my own Speedo wearing husband and not to be compared with support groups that are real.

However, I may have stumbled on to something that could be of service to many wives who deal their husband’s obsession like I do.

Birthday Burger King Bath


An employee and musician having some fun, took a bath in the Burger King sink, where he worked, for his birthday. Timothy Tackett, calls himself “Mr. Unstable”, which is the name he uses for his music, and decided to treat himself to a bath in the utility sink at the Burger King in Xenia, Ohio.

Timothy enjoys his birthday bath in the Burger King sink and even video tapes it. He tells a news reporter that it was all done in fun as something that his fans would find funny. Yes…his fans…as “Mr Unstable” is a musician, who is now getting a lot of attention, with a brand of music he calls ‘experimental rap’.

As to the birthday Burger King bath, he is very apologetic and says that he would have no problem eating at the Burger King where the bath took place because the sink was disinfected before and after the fun.

About the artist/bather: (from Unst@bl3 MySpace page)

Timothy Tackett aka: Mr.UNSTABL3 is an Ohio based Rapper and songwriter, best known as Dr.Orkgazm aka: Ork-0 of the Nerd Core Rap Group Kare Bear Mafia from 1999 to 2006. He also was a Founding member Of the Wicked Rap Group Killawhat (which preceded his involvement with KBM), 2 High Zeroz, ODD, Sapper Spoon, Mr.Fishbasket and the Phlegms, and His Solo Act "Mr.UNSTABL3".

He has earned praise for his diverse Rap vocals among other techniques; critic Sam Fallon writes, "Mr.UNSTABL3 could very well be one of the most versatile and talented people in rap music." He often collaborates with other musicians, such as, gONNA gET gOT, Rob Kleiner, Kita, 42.0GHz, Mr.Grape, and TROUB L3 to name a few. He co-founded Misanthrope Musick in 1996, and has run the "label" since.

It’s like this…According to Me….

It’s a good thing that “Mr. Unst@bl3” (his trademark) is a good musician….as he was fired form his job at Burger King after taping his birthday bath. He and his music are getting a wealth of attention.

Even though he says he would eat where the Burger King bath took place….with all the attention he’s getting… he may never have to eat at or work at a fast food place again! Good for you Mr. Unst@bl3....Rap on!

US Freestyle Relay Team Smokes The French: Now Hubby Wants A One Piece Speedo

As written in previous installments, I have a hubby who loves the ‘Speedo”….can’t get him to get rid of it. And now the US upset in the 4x100 Freestyle finals, with the dynamos Michael Phelps, Gale, Jones and Lezak putting to rest the trash talking French team, has led hubby on a quest for the body suit Speedo.

Hubby is a previous…..and I mean quite a while ago, competitive swimmer who gets his swimming exercise now by balancing his beer on his stomach while on the pool raft. We were watching what has been quoted as “The greatest freestyle relay ever” on TV…..The excitement was intense in my household as hubby still follows the sport. Then the win!!!! Lezak looked at the scoreboard, and then leaped out of the water with an emphatic fist pump.You would have thought the world was ending!

Version of the race from China:

We then settled in for all the post race interviews:


From Fox Sports:

Watch the American version of the race here:


Exclusive Summer Olympics news & widgets at NBC Olympics.com!



"Unbelievable," said Phelps, who swam the leadoff leg and then became the team's biggest cheerleader. "Jason finished that race better than we could even ask for. I was fired up. Going into that last 50, I was like, 'Aw, this is going to be a close race.' Jason's last 10 or 15 meters were incredible."

"You could tell I was pretty excited," Phelps said. "I lost my voice and I was definitely pretty emotional out there." A fingertip did the victory," said Amaury Leveaux, one of the French swimmers. "It is nothing."

"I knew I was going to have to swim out of my mind," Lezak said. "Still right now, I'm in disbelief."

"I never lost hope," said Lezak, who trains alone but has been a longtime stalwart on the relay team. "I don't know how I was able to take it back that fast, because I've never been able to come anywhere near that for the last 50."

While “our guys” got crazy up on deck, hubby noticed that the French swimmer, Bernard, who trashed talked of beating the Americans, was clinging to the wall, his head down. Hubby, by this time is almost in tears and announces the quest for the bodysuit Speedo “to ramp up his personal game”.

I, trying to be a good wife, subdued my inner laughter as even if the suit had a built in motor Hubby could, especially now, not keep up with these superior athletes. Hubby wouldn’t exercise, much less train, at 5:00 AM if the house was on fire.

So now the quest for the new breed of Speedo begins thanks to the amazing 4x100 relay finals (Congratulations Guys!). I am happy for my countries amazing athletes and for their triumph. However, I am sad that there is now a new Speedo fixation for Hubby…..UGH….

Rare Total Eclipse: NASA Coverage

Picture from http://www.nasa.gov/

On August 1, 2008 a rare total solar eclipse happened in the skies over parts of Canada, Greenland, Russia, Mongolia, and China. During this spectacular event, the moon crossed in front of the sun, completely blocking out the sun's disk, and casting a shadow over part of the Earth. While only people in a small area of the world were able to see the eclipse in person, viewers all across the globe could view the eclipse as it happened on NASA TV (you can watch the replay sequence). If you missed it or don’t live where you could see it in person you will find the pics at Nasa.

Honestly….how cool is this??? NASA comes through once again!



The Cupid Shuffle Still Going Strong

Cupid Shuffle is a song by hip hop artists Cupid. The Cupid Shuffle, a popular line dance with any age group, originated from the song and was a dance that swept the nation in August 2007. The dance and the song are still going strong today with almost daily comments about both on popular sites like YouTube.

The dance became popular, especially in hip hop dance circles, and the song is known for its bass line and the fact that it’s just plain fun. The popular line dance is compared to DJ Casper's "Cha Cha Slide. The Cupid Shuffle was featured on the Fox Broadcasting Company crime Drama "K-Ville" during a scene where the lead male characters attend a gumbo party, and on MTV's new show America's Best Dance Crew.

So get your Cupid Shuffle on no matter your age…. "To the right, to the right, to the right, to the right/ To the left, to the left, to the left, to the left/ Now kick, now kick, now kick, now kick/ Now walk it by yourself, now walk it by yourself" and have some fun today.




Top 5 Solutions To Get Rid Of The Speedo

The lengths I would go to, to get him to stop wearing it.

Hubby's Speedo has become a link to his youth, a sort of security blanket if you will.

Although I guess a more accurate description, due to the shortage of material, would be a security napkin.

That brings me to my list of things I would make out of the Speedo for hubby so he could still have it around if he agreed to stop wearing it.

1.) A hat for his dog.

Hubby loves his dog almost as much as his Speedo. The top two places on his list of things he cares about are taken up by those and the kids and I come later on the list.

So if hubby would give up wearing his Speedo I would make a cute little hat for the dog out of it. That way his two favorite things would be together in one place. However, there may be some objection from the dog.

2.) A headband for Hubby.

My husband seems to be comforted somehow by his old worn out Speedo. So if he would stop wearing his ‘man bikini’; I would make a headband out of it and gladly let him wear it out.

It would be much less embarrassing than a tiny bathing suit being worn by a middle aged, out of shape guy.

3.) Fashionable blue jean patches.

Hubby is a construction worker and it always wearing holes in his jeans. He has one favorite pair that he wears to work regularly that have numerous patches.

If he would let me, I would patch them with his wonderful Speedo so he could essentially wear it everyday.

4.) A memorial wall plaque.

I would even go as far as having the stupid Speedo bronzed and placed on a plaque to get him to stop wearing it.

However, I don’t think I would hang it anywhere to obvious.

5.) I would wear it.

To stop the embarrassment of my husband being mocked and laughed at, I would wear the stupid thing. After all, it looks like a woman’s bikini bottom and no one would know the difference.

That way hubby could have it close to him without the family being shunned.

I come up regularly with ideas to present to my husband to get him to stop the Speedo madness. How far would you go to get your husband to stop wearing his?

The Top 5 reasons Speedos Should Be Illegal

My campaign to stop the ugliness!

Well, I haven't writtn in awhile, we've been on vacation.....but I felt it was time for an update.....

"Ciao!" from the beautiful shores of southern Spain. Here I am again with a new intense desire to have Speedos outlawed.

Hubby and I were recently visiting family in Spain, and if Hubby needed a reason to wear his awful Speedo he got it here. It seems to be almost expected that the men on the beach here barely cover themselves. They all wear Speedos!

I seriously am considering starting a fund to help stop the destruction of beautiful beaches with the terrible sight of mammals in Speedos.

The Reasons:

1.) Pot Guts.

Seriously……why would a man (or anyone) who looks like they are 9 months pregnant think they are attractive in a tiny bathing suit?

The answer to this question is allusive. Men with pot guts, including Hubby, should realize that a Speedo is not there best choice.

It mucks up the scenery.

2.) Jelly Bellies.

Everyone has seen a jelly belly being exposed when it shouldn’t be and it’s even worse a top a Speedo. Jiggling and shaking, it’s frightening, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t look away.

It’s almost like watching a train wreck that you can’t stop.

3.) Big Butts.

When one is trying to tan on the beach, there is nothing quite like a man with a huge behind, wrapped in a skin tight Speedo standing above you.

Ugh, the torture of it all, rolls popping out everywhere. Things the size of the side of a building should be covered completely and leave most of it to the imagination!

This could cause a heart attack.

4.) Tiny Privates.

This one is hard to know whether to feel sorry for the person or disgusted at the fact that you can see everything.

Really….I prefer to not have the serenity of the beach interrupted by my own laughing.

The quiet is threatened by loud outbursts.

5.) Huge Privates.

I am by no means a prude and enjoy the site of a well put together man but I don’t want to feel as if I am being attacked by sea snakes on the beach.

If you have to tuck ‘things’ in on a regular basis….you shouldn’t be wearing it.

People can’t watch the waves if they are already queasy.

I will update all of you when I start the ‘outlaw Speedos’ foundation and I hope you will join the cause.

The Melbourne Shuffle Phenomenon



The Melbourne shuffle is one of several dances that emerged during the 'acid house' or 'rave' era around 1990. Although the precise origin of the style is unknown, it does bear a resemblance to earlier jazz dance styles as well as having some hip hop elements.

A rave (or rave party) is defined as a dance party (often all-night events) where DJs and other performers play electronic dance music, sometimes referred to as "rave music", with the accompaniment of laser light shows, projected images, and artificial fog. Rave parties are often, not always, associated with the use of "club drugs" such as ecstasy, cocaine, amphetamines and, more recently, ketamine and 2C-B. In the late 1980s, the word "rave" was adopted to describe the subculture that grew out of the acid house movement.

Raves went on to flourish in Australia and were generally called dance parties. In Melbourne, the underground dance style called the "Melbourne Shuffle" originated at these parties.

The Melbourne raves tended to have a greater amount of artwork, video art, decor and performance as the underground arts community of Melbourne seemed to be involved in producing the parties. Fashion was also a very important component, as many party goers were in the fashion industry and they designed and made their own 'party' clothes and accessories. The parties became a fashion show for the designers and created strong retail sales for their works. Candy ravers usually dress up in wild clothes consisting of bright colours, fluffy leg warmers for the girls and ‘phat’ (excessively flared) pants for the guys.

How does the Melbourne shuffle work?


The Melbourne shuffle dance style has remained relatively underground since its birth in the late 80s and early 90s. However, there is a Melbourne shuffle phenomenon going on now. You will be hard pressed to find a teen now that hasn't at least heard of the dance.

Today known as "shuffling" to the Melbourne locals, the name "Melbourne shuffle" has been derived from overseas DJs, party goers, visitors and the media trying to describe this phenomenon. The Age referred to it as looking like "a cross between the chicken dance and a foot stomping robot" to the untrained eye, but locals have simply called it the "shuffle" since 1992.


Some dancers sprinkle talcum powder on the floor beneath their feet to help them glide more easily, some including 360 degree spins or jumps into their moves.

There are a lot of people using the "Phat Pants" for the Melbourne shuffle as it hides the actual movement of the feet, making the dance appear smoother, as if the dancer is actually floating above the ground.

Learn how to do it:

Instructional videos for the Melbourne shuffle can be found here.

It's Like this...According To Me...

The people that do the Melbourne shuffle well, are really pretty amazing to watch. It leaves you wondering.... how in the heck do they do this movement? As well, with this generation being dubbed as 'lazy'...it makes one ponder..... as to do the Melbourne shuffle....one obviously can't be lazy. Some say the energy comes from the drugs that are sometimes taken at the raves. However, if you watch the video below, you will see that to move this way takes lots of practice.

Tips On What Not To Do When You’re In A Rock Band


One of my gigs...

The music industry is full of tricky, out for themselves, back stabbing people who would just as soon use your face as a stepping stone to something better. I know it sounds cynical, but take it from someone who has been in the music business since she was a child, most of the horror stories you hear are true.

Let me give you just a little background info on my life before we go into the tips on what not to do when you’re in a rock band.

I was born into a musical family that included a father who was in the music business. To protect the innocent (and not get sued), let’s just say that he was a steel guitar player who toured with two big names in country music. I was trained to sing at a young age and preformed and toured regularly as a child. I saw many ‘friends’ of my dad and our family do unseemly, under handed things to further their own career. Dad was no exception to this rule. So I should have learned early to watch my back.

I stayed in the music realm and went on to have several of my own, and to join a few, bands as I got older. I should have paid attention to my earlier life lessons. However, at this late stage, now I know what not to do if you’re in a rock band.

1) Never let someone join the rock band that has a jealous girlfriend/boyfriend.

There seems to be this stigma that people in a rock band take every opportunity to indulge in propositions of the sexual nature. This is, from my experience, mostly true. Adding a jealous girlfriend to the mix can cause numerous visits from the police department of the city you happen to be touring in.

2) Never loan money to your rock band mates.

Lets face it…..unless you have an established contract with a reputable label…..musicians are broke and you’ll never see your money again.

3) Never trust a new found friend of your rock band mate with your equipment.

The equipment needed to perform anywhere is expensive. And since musicians are usually broke, guard it with your life. When you tour you tend to ‘collect’ so called friends. In my experience, when these friends offer to load equipment ‘for nothing’, it tends to disappear. Nothing is for free!

4) Never get romantically involved with a rock band mate.

This just turns into pure hell! Don’t do it!

5) Never sign anything without having it looked over by a professional you trust.

When we first begin our journey into the music business, everything is exciting as we are chasing that dream of the rock and roll lifestyle. However, this business is every man for himself and even your ‘friends’ will gut you and hang you out to dry. Always protect your interests!


It's Like This....According To Me...

This is a more serious look at what not to do when you’re in a rock band. There are some funny tips on this subject and I will provide those and some stories of what happens on the road at a later date.

For now…..Rock On!

Crazy Police Reports

It's hard to believe the craziness that goes on in the world....but here are some examples:



A lemonade stand led to a lemonade standoff in Terre Haute, Indiana on Tuesday.

Police say 18-year-old Steven Tryon robbed the two children running the lemonade stand, then ran and hid inside his nearby home.

The kids followed Tryon to the house and called police, who spent an hour trying to get the suspect to come out of the house.

The kids say they will reopen their stand, but this time with parental supervision.
They're still waiting to get their stolen $17.50 back. It's being held by the police as evidence.

Tryon is facing felony robbery charges.


"The Naked Lady"

ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A woman seen frequently in Ashland riding topless on her bicycle says she plans to be in Ashland's Fourth of July parade free and independent of all clothing but a hemp G-string. The Chamber of Commerce says that's contrary to the rules for the family celebration. She says she'll sue if she can't parade as she wishes.

Jen Moss has been known as "The Naked Lady" since she moved to Ashland in May from Ojai, Calif., drawn by the town's nudity laws. They specify only that people must cover their genitalia in a city park or the downtown commercial district, which means Moss need not cover her breasts.

The police in California, she says, harassed her when she rode her bicycle wearing a G-string and pasties.

A Stolen Weinermobile?


When Arizona Police spotted the famous Weinermobile, the popular car that goes around the country promoting Oscar Meyer products, they where quite surprised and thought it was stolen.

The Weinermobile was driving through Tucson, Arizona, when a state Department of Public Safety officer spotted the car on I-10, according to a DPS spokeswoman. The officer was sitting in an unmarked car, and did a computer check on the license plate, which then came up as stolen.

The car was pulled over and back-up for the officer was called. But the license was checked out with the Columbia Police Department in Wisconsin. They registered the warning on the "Yummy" plate, and then the officers let them go.

Originally, the police in Wisconsin had wanted to make a note on the computer log that the plate was intended for use only on the traveling Weinermobile. On any other vehicle would mean it was stolen, according to Figueroa. The translation did not translate well in the system, and the state DPS is working to correct the computer error, according to Philly.com.

And my personal favorite (the crazy people in my state) :

Husband gets stabbed during sex.

GILBERT, AZ -- A Gilbert woman is facing attempted homicide charges after police said she told them she stabbed her estranged husband in the chest with a kitchen knife while they were having sexual intercourse.

According to Maricopa County court records, the husband filed for divorce about a month ago. The couple met Tuesday at about 4:30 p.m. to have their Gilbert residence appraised.

After the appraiser left, according to court records, the man showed his wife dissolution of marriage papers. Court records state that when the woman began to cry, her husband comforted her and the two proceeded to have sexual intercourse.

According to court records, during sexual intercourse, the woman allegedly took a knife out of her duffle bag and stabbed her husband in the chest.

Court records state she removed the knife from her husband's chest and said, "I'm sorry ." The couple allegedly struggled for the knife, according to court records, and the man fled to a neighbor's house, where the neighbor called 911.



It's like this...According to me....
If one is to survive in this crazy world....we have to take in srtide just how rediculous people are and how crazy they can be. We must also look at just how outrageous the news can be once in a while, and perhaps have a chuckle.

5 Reasons a Speedo Wife Cries



Silent suffering....

Hello fellow Speedo wives from sad, sad me. By now you probably all know that I have a husband that’s not in great shape and won’t quit wearing his ridiculous speedo. I realize this may now sound like I'm whining....but I'm just trying to let the rest of you Speedo wives know you're not alone.

It’s a sad state of affairs when a wife suffers silently about this dreaded piece of cloth called a Speedo and I have 5 top reasons why I cry myself to sleep. So Speedo wives....know that you're not alone!

1.) Summer is coming again.

When summer rolls around you can bet that the Speedo will be taken out, dusted off, be prepared for wearing and causing embarrassment.

There are ads all over the TV stating that it’s time to put in a pool. Hubby states, "We should get one so we can have everyone over". Well, not over my dead body (they wouldn’t come anyway)! I hide money and say, "Sweetie we just don’t have it this year".

I cry because I lie.

2.) He thinks he’s Mark Spitz.

Mark Spitz, gold medal winner at the Olympics years ago, had a great body and still looked stupid in a Speedo.

My husband, by no stretch of the imagination, looks like Mark Spitz, but thinks he does. He proudly struts his stuff for everyone to see with this lovely Speedo and doesn’t care who is around He sees himself totally different than everyone else, so...

I cry because the mirror lies.

3.) Our friends don’t invite us anymore.

When our friends have a gathering where swimwear is required, John and I are left off the invitation list.

Honestly, who could blame our friends, who will remain nameless to protect the innocent, for not wanting Mr. Sausage around at their party?

I cry because I miss all the fun.

4.) He posts his picture on the internet.

Hubby actually sent a recent picture of himself to a Speedo contest, which wouldn’t have been so bad except he sent pictures of the family.

Now not only are our close friends laughing at us….the whole world is.

I cry because I’m ashamed.

5.) He’s thinking of buying a new Speedo.

As if the old worn out one that he already has isn’t enough, Hubby has just found an even skimpier type of Speedo to sport around. Yes fellow Speedo wives….he’s considering the lethal "G" string.

I swear I will bankrupt us first before he gets any money for that, and...

I cry because I’ll have to get my food at the food bank.

So fellow Speedo wives….I’m sure my list of reasons I cry myself to sleep isn’t much different than yours. I will be mounting a movement soon...so watch for that.

The Painful Life Of A Speedo Wife



Do you have a banana hammock wearing husband like me?


I have been wondering just how many other women share the secret torture of having to be seen in public with a husband who proudly wears a Speedo.

I am a relatively attractive woman who is married, has children and tries to be an example to my family. My hubby on the other hand is a construction worker who enjoys adding to his beer belly with his buddies after work.

Hubby must have a magic mirror.

As well, hubby seems to see himself in a totally different light than anyone else. He actually still wears his 10 year old bright red, shiny Speedo in public. I guess he still sees himself as the young swim team captain with the stealth body who was required to wear those skimpy bathing suits.

However the reality of the situation is this….. his gut hangs over the Speedo so far that you can hardly see it and he doesn’t have his young butt any longer either. It’s so embarrassing to go anywhere that there is a possibility of bathing suits being worn…because out comes the ridiculous speedo.

Everyone has tried to get rid of the Speedo.

I’ve tried to talk to him nicely about how silly he looks by saying things like..."Wow... you should really treat yourself to some new swim wear because you work so hard for us". He doesn’t get it… I’ve tried bringing home some regular surfer shorts but he says they slow him down in the water….What? This excuse really baffles me because he only wades around now… he could carry a brick in his pocket and it wouldn’t slow him down anymore.

Our friends pull me aside when we go to pool parties and tell me to get him to put something else on because there are kids around that keep asking what he has in his pants….. UGH….. They even got to the point where they were openly laughing at him, but he refuses to pay attention.

I think hubby loves the Speedo more than me.

Now when friends are having a pool party or beach get together we are not invited. That stupid Speedo has taken on a life of its own. At times I feel as if it is his mistress.

It's Like This....According To Me...

I can’t seem to compete with the snug hug the bright red, shiny Speedo gives him. So if you have a banana hammock wearing husband like me, please let me know how you have gotten your hubby to throw it away or how you hold your head up in these situations.

Brilliant money saver for those who can't keep it in thier pants


I realize that at times a baby shows up when it has not been planned. This is simply a fact of life. However, if you are considering doing the dirty deed, perhaps you should consider the financial consequences.

Here we see a brilliant solution to the fact that when the baby comes....money may be tight. So what you do in this case....when a &150.00 car seat is out of the question.... is to take an empty case of something (preferably Corona cause you're probably gonna need it), sit the kid on top and belt it in.

Of course there might be a time when you might have to use your free insurance to cover the cost of injuries....but get another case and deal with that when it happens. Brilliant!

It's Like This...According To Me...
If you can't afford the kid...you better not cheap out on the rain coats!
