I just found a website that is offering literally hundreds of free flash games that you can play right on your computer. Now it doesn't get any better than free man, and you know it. You know, you don't get much these days for free, so if I were you, I'd take advantage of this special offer before they decide to change their minds. I know it sounds crazy and nobody gives anything away for free, but honestly friends these people are. Sounds crazy to you, yeah, it did me too at first, but I checked it out and that's exactly what their doing. You have absolutely nothing to loose by logging onto their website and see for yourself, games like; "Tetris" and "Pacman", sports games and games like "Mass Attack" just to name a few, they're all there waiting for you to play. You just might find out that you're having so much fun that you'll want to tell all your friends about this free website, and they in turn will tell their friends and so on and so on. Wow, let me catch my breath...ahhh, now go log on and have yourself a ball, there's no money of any kind involved and tons of games to choose from both old and new.

RIP Buddy Miles

I just wanted to tell the world that Jimi Hendrix's old drummer "Buddy Miles" passed away. Any of you old enough to have lived through the sixties should remember him. He joined Jimi after the Jimi Hendrix Experience broke up and played with jimi for a while. He made history, and will be missed.

The snow is back in Detroit this morning. Not too much is expected but driving will still be a hazard today.

There was another School bus accident a couple of days ago. This time in Maryland. When will they realize that school buses need seat belts? The driver was EJECTED out of the bus and some children were injured, but no one was killed this time. There will be a next time, so any of you that have children that ride school buses should complain to your school district and get seat belts installed on every school bus. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, no noise and nothing will be done...it's your kids that are at risk, so what are you going to do?

Australian property investment website

Here is a website that all you Aussies should know about if you're interested in purchasing a home, vacant land, or just looking for good property investing. I don't live in Australia, that's for sure, but I do know something about that beautiful country, because one of my best friends lives in Perth western Australia. I know that he has looked into purchasing some land to start his own farm business, so this informative website would be right up his alley. He stays in contact with me, so I must pass this information on to him.
Well anyway here's the scoop, there is apparently a heck of a good Property investment website that is dedicated to helping Australians find rock solid property investments, such as housing, land or business investment opportunities. I don't care where you live on this planet, you can't go wrong when you put your money into land of any kind. Buying an investment property is always a good idea, yes, values can go down occasionaly, but they will turn around and go back up again as well, no matter what the economy does. You can be sure of one thing, if you are renting, all of the money that you pay to your landlord each month is never coming back to you. You're just going to make your landlord rich and put nothing in your own pockets. What about your future, or your children's future, what will you give them some day, rent receipts? Yes, property investment is your answer, especially if you are ordinary people. You can build wealth in real estate faster than any other way. No bank savings plan will do what land will do for you. So please visit their website and see what these excellent property investment professionals have to offer you. You'll find "free" advice if you're not sure what you want to do. The best thing that you'll take away with you is knowledge, something that you wouldn't have had, had you not logged onto their website. To build wealth , it starts with knowledge, and knowledge is what this professional staff will give you, so you can make the most intelligent decision of your life. This can be a life changing experience if you put you thoughts and ideas into the hands of one of the best and well trained land investment professional organizations in Australia. Point your life in a new direction in 2008 and by next year at this time, you'll be glad that you did.

Smoking & school bus accidents

Something has come up again that I feel deeply about. Adults teaching their children that it's OK to smoke cigarettes. Every time an adult lights up in front of their kids and say.."don't do what I do" honey, it's bad for you! Now that's a copout if I've ever heard one. They don't seem to mind paying $5.00 or more a pack either, which takes away money from the family which is surely needed (in most cases) for other more important things for the family. I take my daughter Tiana to school every morning because because I don't want her on a school bus without seatbelts. I'm linking a school bus accident that just happened yesterday where four children were killed, it was not my child but it was someones elses child that trusted the school bus driver and a bus without seatbelts. If you have the time to take your kids to school, do it, if something ever does happen at least you don't have to blame someone else. It's time to equip school busses with seatbelts for all the children and hire better qualified drivers. This will cost a little more but make our school busses and our children a lot safer. For now school busses are not required to have seatbelts, this is crazy!
Getting back to smoking, another thing that I want to bring up. I see almost everyday people pulling up to the school with cigarettes in their mouths. windows rolled up and a
"fog" of smoke in the car! They put their cigarettes out and go and pick up their children then the first thing that they do after reentering their car...yep, you guessed it, light up another cigarette! Now remember, it's cold here in Michigan and those kids are breathing second hand smoke! Something has to be done to protect the children from their uncaring parents. All children have the right, not to have to breath second hand smoke. I don't have an answer to how to stop smoking in the home in front of the children either which is also another problem, but we had better do something about this on going problem. We protect our children from preditors but not from their own parents!

Maimed & missing cats

I'd like to tell you guys about something that's bothering me a lot. A couple of years ago I noticed a cat in my back yard with a broken back leg. I fed the animal for a while and then it didn't come back any more. I was taking care of five stray cats in my house at the time and let them out in the evening. One day one of them didn't return home, then one morning it showed up with one of her back legs dislocated and dragging it on the ground! I was alarmed to say the least and really didn't know what to do. After about a week her leg went back into place by itself so I kept her inside for a while. Then another of the strays didn't come back home and was never seen again, then another. Before I knew it there was only one cat left!. Again some time went by and I began feeding another stray because it was very hungry. I just hate to see anything go without food. This cat finally brought a tiny little kitten with it one day. I've been feeding them both for about two months now and then the little one disappeared just like all the others but the other one still came for food everyday. Two days ago I went outside and heard a small kitten crying so I looked around and there was the little kitten that I had been feeding but something was wrong. As the kitten came closer I noticed that it's two back legs were either broken or dislocated because the kitten was dragging it's back legs! Now I don't know about you but this is a bunch of baloney and I have to get to the bottom of it. Cats are missing and sometimes needlessly hurt for whatever reason. If the humane society is trapping them and the trap is hurting the cats then something should be done. At this time I just don't know where to start but I will do something soon. When I get more on this I will post the results.

Christmas light recycling website

I have to hand it to my Michigan neighbors,a holiday lighting company based in Jackson Michigan has decided to take the lead in recycling old incandescent christmas lights. The response has been so overwhelming that they have decided to extend the program indefinitely, originally it was to end January 31ST. If you have any lighting that you want to recycle, or know of any in your neighborhood, then pack them up in one box and send them off for recycling. Check their website for correct address and packaging guide lines. You'll be helping our environment, save much needed energy, make your home a lot safer from fire and put some extra cash in your pockets at the same time! Any of you ladies that have gettogethers, please bring this up to your guests, so that we can get rid of those old outdated bulbs.
Now I want to tell you something else about the company. Yes, I live in Michigan and I've lived in a lot of other places as well, and I can tell you that you won't find better people anywhere, so please take the time to visit this "one of a kind" website. They are offering really great deals on Holiday lighting. You'll find many types of lighting for your home as well as professional lighting, and at prices everyone can afford. I'll bet that you didn't know that the new LED bulbs can last 50,000 hours, are cool to the touch (so your little ones won't burn their fingers)and use 90% less energy? Yes, I said 90% less energy, that alone should be enough to get you to log onto their website. Now if you still have questions, just give them a toll free call, there is a very knowledgeable staff eager and happy to help you.

McCain, 100 years in Iraq!

McCain last night on Larry King Live tried to explain his 100 years in Iraq idea, now he's modified it to maybe 50 years! Do you think that they've cleverly "clowned" Bush and modified his appearance to resemble McCain? Sounds like the same old BS that we've been hearing over and over to me. Every American I know of wants this "stupid" Bush war over with, not prolonged as McCain wants to do. The longer we stay there, the more enemies we make Mr. McCain, don't you get it? Do we really need another Bush type in the White House? Honestly, I'm sick and tired of Bush and people who think like him. We need to turn the page and try something fresh and new...like Barack Obama. What's to loose? Look what we have now with Bush and Chaney, two bums who shouldn't guide an old lady across the street, let alone lead a country! I think most Americans want us to go in a new direction. This old politics as usual stuff is not going to work this time. Let's get a young man with fresh new ideas in there and give him a chance.

Become debt free

Well it's that time again, when the tax man comes calling and you're reminded of just how much you owe. Year after year your debt just don't seem to get any lower, in fact they if anything, they get higher! So you take a couple of aspirin and tell yourself, I'll find away out of this mess sooner or later. Unfortunately sooner or later never seems to come. If this sounds like you, then maybe it's time to take a stand and do something about it. So here's what I want to tell you. I have come across a debt management company that has ways of helping you get out of debt and stay that way, How does that sound? Yeah, I thought that you'd like hearing that. This company that I'm talking about has helped thousands of people just like you consolidate their debt and pay just one smaller monthly bill! If you owe $2,500 or more in unsecured loans, have two or more accounts and a source of income, then my friend, you qualify. This fine company will set up a debt management plan (DMP)just for your unique situation. But remember this, before you can manage your debt, you have to learn to manage your money, so they provide the highest level of credit counseling to keep you on track to being debt free. So log onto their website and read about what they can do for your situation. Becoming debt free can become a reality, but you must take the first step and it starts by choosing the right people to advise you. Doing nothing will only make matters worse, so give them a call, you have nothing to loose but your debts!

Cold weather, cold canidates

Wide awake at 4:00AM, man I'm having one of those nights. I usually sleep right up until the alarm clock rings..but not today! I have a few things on my mind and one of those things is that Tiana is still sick with a bad cold. I guess I'm going to have to keep her home from school again today, I hate to keep her out of school, but sick is sick, so it doesn't give me much choice. Hopefully she'll be better tomorrow. The school will be closed this Friday through next Monday, but that doesn't do us much good right now.
It's still very cold outside this morning, around 12 degrees. I don't know about you but I'm ready for some warm weather. C'mon lottery, get us the heck out of this cold weather!

Ready to vote for John McCain? Yeah, I didn't think so. Actually we have few choices this time around. Wow, we had Bush for eight years and what a mess he made of everything, now we're going to be stuck with one of these people for at least four years, and for most of us, they turn our stomachs. Like it or not people, we're going to get one of them, so you'd better get used to the idea!

Top notch discount coupon website

Here is an excellent discount coupon website to put into your "favorites" column. It's an online coupon website where you can instantly use discount coupons to buy products online. Occasionally they have printable coupons for in-store deals as well. If you're looking for a new computer or just want to save a buck or two by buying something online, this is the website to visit first. Online shopping is growing all the time with savings the stores just can't compete with. Many top companies are now partnering with websites like this, and the savings are passed on to you. It's easy to see what discounts you can receive on a particular product. Just log onto the website, enter the product that you're interested in, and the discount code details are listed along with the product. Now how much better can it get than that? It's all done right there for you, nothing else to do. Jump on board and tell all your friends about how you're saving both time and money and having a ball doing it!

McCain vs Obama

Well it's looking more and more like it's going to be McCain vs Obama for the presidency. I think that the time is right for a black man or a woman for that matter to become president anyway. We've put middle aged white males in there since George Washington, so why not try something different for a change? Ofcourse Ann Colter wouldn't agree with me, but who the heck cares about what she thinks anyway (statement). No matter what happens, voting this time should be a great deal of fun for a change...wow, what if Obama actually wins? We actually may have some people in the world start to like us again!

Hey, it's 2 degrees in Detroit this morning! No school for the kids, Tiana's sick with a cold, so we were going to keep her home today anyway. Hope everything is warm and cozy where you are.

Book about project management

I worked at Boeing for a long time and saw some of these problems arise more often than not. Big companies tend to farm out projects to save both time and money. This topic is interesting as long as you're involved in cost management. As far as the interviewers questions, I think they are right on to tell you the truth, and quite straight forward. The author has a good understanding of the subject and of his book about project management. So, if you are interested in project management, come by the blog and read more about it. This book would be valuable to both students of business as well as business managers.

Why worry?

My son "Tim" wants to buy another guitar, so my wife and I were discussing whether it was practical to spend the money on it right now. Ana (my wife) believes that we only live once and that Tim should do whatever makes him happy, as log as he can afford it. Anyway, I remember an inspirational passage that I read somewhere online which I would like to share with you, that gets right to the point. It's below...

Why Worry?
In this life there are only two things to worry about.
Either you will be rich or poor.

If you are rich, there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are poor, there are only two things to worry about.

Either you will be healthy or sick.
If you are healthy, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick, there are two things to worry about.
Either you will live or you will die.

If you live, there is nothing to worry about.
If you die there are only two things to worry about.

You will either go to heaven or to hell.
If you go to heaven, there will be nothing to worry about.

If you go to hell, you'll be so darn busy shaking hands with all your friends,
you won't have time to worry!

SO WHY WORRY? -Author Unknown

Snow, Mac is back, maybe & Tornadoes

Schools are closed today here in the Detroit area do to snow fall last night. That's going to make Tiana happy. We didn't get that much, but I guess the schools think that it's unsafe enough to keep the kids at home today. Anyway, I have to clear the driveway again but that won't take very long. Thank goodness for snow blowers!

Do you get the feeling that the Repuibilcan masses, especially in the south, may not support McCain if he's nominated? With Bush not being very popular, it's going to be an up hill battle for him to win in November. McCain is a nice guy and a war hero, but I just don't like his ideas about Ammnesty, Immigration and Open boarders. There's not much to choose from this year on the GOP side, so many people may just decide not to vote. Give me your thoughts on Mac.

I was so sorry to hear about all those Tornadoes Tuesday in the south and the lives lost by them. I lived through one here in Michigan when I was a kid. It was one scary ride, believe me. When I lived in Florida, I lived through a Hurricane, then on to California where I lived through several Earthquakes, but nothing and I mean NOTHING matched the scariness of that Tornado. God Bless the people affected by this disaster.

Yes we can!

I don't know whether you've seen it or not but there has been a new video about Barack Obama floating around the Internet. I'm posting it just in case you missed it. It's quite inspirational no matter what party you support. It's time for a change of direction in our government and I think all the canidates realize this. Eight years of George Bush and the men he surrounded himself with is deserving a breath of fresh air for all Americans. It's time to remove that cloke of darkness 9/11 has caused and start a new day in American history. United we stand, devided we fall.

The launch of Electionqlips website

I just want to mention something about the launch of the new ElectionQlips website, an online political video clip website that has the country talking, or I should say, "candidates' talking. Watch out candidates because the cameras are on and we "the people" are watching! Anyway, I just had a friend challenge me about what Huckelbee said about changing our Constitution to coincide with the Bible. He refused to believe me when I told him about it, so naturally I was able to find his speech online and play it back for him. Needless to say, he has shut up and is now considering another candidate. On this new website you can post written and verbal comments, freehand drawings and images about what the cantadates are saying. Church and State must always be separate issues, because we have so many different religions in our country, not to mention atheists who should also be heard. No church or person should be allowed to set standards that we all have to live by. Statements like Huckelbee made only serve to separate us, so thanks to websites like ElectionQlips, we now have a way to keep track of the candidates and watch what they're saying! This is an excellent website, I recommend it to all of you who are interested in politics.

Weather's bad, but the Pistons heated things up!

No School today! Wow, we got up this morning to about three inches of snow and they predicted another seven inches throughout the day. Actually right now it's raining a little, which means if the temperature drops tonight, we're in for some icy conditions. Anyway, I was glad that Tiana didn't have to go to school today because she has been complaining about having a sore throat. I went to Walgreen's and purchased some Tylenol for her and now she's taking a nap, so hopefully she'll feel better later.
My son "Tim" stayed with us last night. We want him to spend some time with our two little girls so they can get to know each other better. We had some hamburgers from "Checkers" and watched the Pistons play the Lakers. It was a great game, naturally our Pistons won! Too bad Laker fans!
