Jackson Died from Lethal Levels of Propofol

It's finally been announced that Michael Jackson died from Propofol and his death will be considered a homicide. I hope his docs that did this to him get what they deserve - a miserable life behind bars.

This is what led to his addiction to painkillers. :(

Drugs found in Michael Jackson's home

I read the "breaking news" on TMZ today that DRUGS were found in Michael Jackson's home. Check out the pics. The drug pill bottles were dated 2002 & 2003!!! First off, that is not "breaking news" when it happened 6 years ago. Secondly, if they were confiscated by police back in 2003, then WHY was this not investigated back then?? Michael could have been ALIVE right now if it was!! This just makes me so angry! They were so busy trying to pin other charges on him, they completely bypassed the fact that there were illegally obtained narcotics - and an abundance of them - in his home! Can you imagine how differently this all would have turned out if someone had investigated this 6 years ago? Maybe he would have been arrested & court ordered to go to rehab. Not that I wanted to see him in jail or rehab - but I would have rathered seen him in jail or rehab than in the golden coffin I saw him in the other day. ~cry~

Big Brother 11

Ok my favorite summer show has finally started! The theme this season is high school cliques. There are the Athletes, Brains, Popular and the Off-Beat. (I would have been an off-beat). If I was on this show and they told me I was going back to high school I would have walked off the show, LOL. It would not be worth the $500,000 to endure that again!

Anyways... their challenge today was to go to the back yard where it was transformed into a locker room. They had to wear these giant underwear over their clothes and hold onto a toilet seat while suspended in mid-air for a "wedgie" effect. The clique that had the last person hanging would win - and their entire clique would be safe from the chopping block. The kicker? There was 1 more person who was going to join the BB house. Someone from the past!

They were: Cowboy, Brian who was voted off 1st last season, Jessica from season 11?, and muscle bound Jessie. I was rooting for Brian. Cowboy was representing off-beat, Brian was Brains, Jessica was Popular, and Jessie was athlete. The team who won would get the corresponding extra person to be on their team for the 13th houseguest. The person coming back into the house would also be HOH.

Again - I was voting for BRAINS to win because I wanted Brian to come back into the house. But alas, Athletes won, so muscle headed Jessie was brought back into the house. Great. He is SO full of himself and so annoying. Why why why???

The show ended with Jessie walking into the house. Can't wait for Sunday!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Well, I spent the day Tuesday watching the memorial and crying my eyes out. I have been a fan of MJ since I was a kid. I remember having a crush on him when I was in the 4th grade. I remember wearing red parachute pants in Jr. High. We used to listen to him on the school bus.

Needless to say, I've been a huge fan almost my entire life. I believed he was innocent in 1994 and in 2003. I still believe he was innocent. While watching the memorial I kept expecting his coffin to open and for him to come out as this was just a big publicity event. So I hoped. But when the memorial was over and they started carrying his coffin away as "Man in the Mirror" played in the background, I finally realized for the first time that he was really gone.

Michael Jackson's life story is one of the saddest I've ever read about. His father terrorized him. His father, in my opinion, is a main reason I believe MJ ended up the way he did. I'm not even going to get into that again. I'm drained.

His memorial was beautiful and sad at the same time. I can't remember the last time I cried so much. Brooke Shields gave a beautiful speech - but then I read that she hadn't spoken to him since 1991. :( I wish the people that really knew him and cared about him were more persistent in helping him.

His kids really surprised me. I had never even seen them before. Very cute kids. Paris speaking out at the end was heartbreaking. Calling this man we just think of as an entertainer, "daddy" - wow. Yep, he was a father, not just a phenomonal singer, dancer and entertainer, but a "daddy". Kind of brought everything into perspective.

I am so glad to hear there were no arrests in LA and how everyone was so well behaved and so respectful for that day. It's the very least that Michael deserved.

For those who are cracking jokes about Michael, about his death and/or his life - it's a terrible shame. I don't think they are the least bit funny. Michael was very sensitive and he knew people were laughing at him - criticizing him - judging him - and that hurt him very much and ultimately likely lended a hand in his death.

RIP Michael, you are so missed.

How to make CHINESE DONUTS with 2 ingredients!

I'm spilling the secret to how chinese restuarants make chinese donuts, and how you can make them with just 2 ingredients!

You'll need:

Deep Fryer
1 Tube of Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits
Sugar

Open the tube of buttermilk biscuits.

Cut one biscuit into quarters and roll into a ball.

Place in deep fryer for about 3-4 minutes, until completely cooked inside

Take out of fryer and drain onto paper towels.

Dust with sugar and enjoy!

I made these and they taste EXACTLY like the ones you get in the restaurants. One tube can yield 40 of these chinese donuts! Try them!

Time Warner - to start charging by bandwidth

There's been a lot of talk about Time Warner starting to charge by bandwith and internet usage for their RoadRunner service. My mom got wind of this and when she called them tonight to pay her bill over the phone she inquired about it. The rep told her that there will be a 3-month trial that everyone will be able to gauge what their usage is. Sort of like a water or gas meter. I'm not sure where it will show - if you can log in to see your usage on your account, or if it just shows on your bill or what.

But anyways, the rep said that customers will be capped at $150/month just for their RoadRunner internet service - so that's the "max" you could pay for RR, but that most people wouldn't have to pay that much. They will allow you so much bandwith GB and if you exceed it, it would be $1 per every GB that you exceed past your limit.

Apparently they are doing this because of services such as Vonage, those who download movies, etc. My thought was, then why not just charge THEM more - why penalize everyone? But apparently they are not able to do that. So, we must all suffer the consequences.

Seems fair, huh?

Auctiva users - no longer free as of July 1st!

What a shocker (not). In this article today, it was announced that Auctiva will be charging fees according to AuctionBytes, starting July 1st. Their users as of today still have not been informed of the changes. And they are hefty ones too. Looks like they are following Vendio's pricing structure. Quite a jump from free.

• The Professional Seller plan will cost $34.95/month plus 12 cents/listing, with zero transaction fees. It includes a free Auctiva Commerce store, and fees are capped at $250/month.
• A High Volume Seller plan costs $24.95/month with zero listing fees and a 1.75% transaction fee - Auctiva said this is good for sellers with high listing volume and low average sales price.
• The Part Time Seller plan costs $9.95/month plus 6 cents/listing and a 1 percent transaction fee. It includes an Auctiva Commerce store for $4.98/month.
• The "No Monthly Fee" plan for casual eBay sellers costs 12 cents/listing and a 1.25 percent transaction fee.
• Auctiva's Image Hosting plan will be free for the first 1 megabyte of storage, and $1.95/month for between 1 - 5 megabytes of storage up to $34.95/month for over 250 megabytes of storage.
• There's also a Big Ticket Seller plan. Auctiva said templates come free with all plans, but cost $4.95 for people who do not list with Auctiva and do not want to select any of its pricing plans.

For those of you getting ready to go into panic mode, let me suggest Turbo Lister. It's one of the very few Ebay owned products I would recommend. It's free, it's user friendly, and did I mention it's free?

Looking for Dental Insurance!

I'm in the market for some decent dental insurance.

I left my F/T job time back in October to work from home and had filled out paperwork with my employer at the time to keep my dental through COBRA for 18 months. Made an appt with my dentist yesterday for next week and found out my ex-employer never submitted my paperwork, so I have NO dental insurance! I even have confirmation emails from my HR dept at my old job assuring me they submitted my paperwork. I have a really bad teeth-grinding problem and I have a chipped & cracked tooth and a cavity, so this is going to cost me quite a bit if I don't get dental by next week. People who can't do their job correctly (and get paid very well not to) need to be fired.

Warning about dialing 90# scam from your phone!

Just received this in a bulletin, this is good to know!

I dialed '0', to check this out, asked the operator, who confirmed that this was correct so please pass it on . . . (l also checked out Snopes.com . This is true, and also applies to cell phones!)

PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service Technician (could also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine(9), zero(0), the pound sign (#), and then hang up. Luckily, I was suspicious and refused. Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full access to your telephone line, which enables them to place long distance calls billed to your home phone number.

I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many local jails/prisons; DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. The GTE Security Department requested that I share this information with EVERYONE I KNOW. After checking with Verizon they also said it was true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!!

PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

Cucumber & Tomato salad

I ran down to the local grocery store this morning. To my surprise they had cucumbers for 50¢ each (usually they are over $1 ea) so I bought 10 of them and some tomatoes.

Came home and washed them and cut the cucumbers into small, bite-sized chunks. I put them in a Lock & Lock storage container. I cut up the tomatoes into quarters and squeezed all the juices from them into the container, and then cut up the rest and put them in the container as well. Then I got out a bottle of italian dressing (I prefer Wishbone's Robusto) and poured a whole bottle into the container. Put the lid securely on and gave it a good shake and stuck it in the fridge.

That will be soooo yummy for tonight I can't wait! One of my favorite summer foods... a tasty cucumber & tomato salad!
