I was watching the Today show early this morning, and there was a segment from last month I believe. It discussed the videos that kids were putting on YouTube, in regards to asking if they were pretty or ugly? Youtube does not allow anyone under 13 to join but there were a lot of younger kids on there. No surprise there hey? Well these kids, they put themselves out there not knowing that bullies will come out of the wood work like no tomorrow, only to criticize them. So of course they will be put down, made fun of, etc. I often wonder what are these bullies thinking of? What is in their mind to really put someone through the BS that they put them through. Hasn't there been enough negative media about the results of what bullying can cause, and isn't that enough to just stop!!?? No it doesn't seem like it is, I really don't know what Continue Reading
I Am Back, And Blogging!
Server moves are such a pain in the ass, especially if they don't go according to plan. There are times things just happen, and it happened to me. I was so upset because at one point I thought I lost all my blog posts for the past 5 years. I blog a lot more these days, than I did when I first started. While I was in England I didn't blog, I actually closed my blog for awhile, because my ex didn't like me wasting my time online? Isn't that something? So for about a year or two it stayed closed. I kept it because I liked the name, and knew one day I would reopen it. After leaving England coming back to the US, I did reopen, and started once again to get where I was before. I do wish I would of saved my archives from before but they got lost somewhere. I guess that's why I was so upset to almost losing my back up. Thinking 'Oh No, not Continue Reading
Gun Toting Dad Responds To Daughter Via Facebook!
I was watching the Today show this morning, and they had a segment on a father (Tommy Jordan) who replied to his daughter (Hannah's) post on Facebook in a very shocking way 'Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen!' Wow go Daddy! Apparently the daughter posted some very harsh things on Facebook about the way parents treat her. Thinking that that they wouldn't see it by blocking them. Oh boy was she wrong! The father is computer saavy, works in IT, so naturally he was going to find it, especially because a few months earlier she had done the exact same thing. It's an 8 minute video the father made in reply to his daughters post on facebook, here is the video, see for yourself. The response from teens is astronomical, agreeing with what the father had done, not to mention how many parents agree with what he did. Yeah it's SHOCKING Continue Reading
Doomsday Preppers – Should You Be Worried Too?
The other day, we didn't have much to watch on TV, so we decided to browse ONdemand (absolutely love this, we're able to catch up with shows we may have missed) and see what shows are out there that we never seen. So one night we were looking through the networks, and stumbled on a TV show called Doomsday Preppers on the National Geographic channel. Who are they? What are they all about. Well long before we stumbled on this TV show, we had stumbled on a few others withe similar topics. I have to say, I didn't really pay much attention, although it did spark an interest in both our minds. We got really curious. As time passed, and we kept seeing more and more. So naturally we would watch this stuff. I don't know for sure if anything will happen, there are people that have their predictions, and so forth. Does it worry me, sure it does. Continue Reading
Stranger Danger Saves A Life
I'm rather disappointed, we had sweet little flurries coming down all day, well until about 1 or 2pm, I was hoping it would come down more than that. I know there are other towns in New England that got a lot more than cute 'little' flurries, I looked forward to the snow. Growing up in California, I didn't see much snow, unless I went up to Big Bear Mountain sky resort, and that was like never lol. I moved up to the high desert for awhile, and we got snow there, so that was pretty exciting. When I finally moved to Massachusetts, I got the opportunity to experience true snow days! I absolutely loved it! I looked forward to this winter ever since I moved here. We have yet to see another good drop of snow *wishes*. I guess we will see what the rest of this winter has in store for us. I was watching the news earlier this week, and I Continue Reading
