This I like.

I am fairly savvy when it comes to computers but the truth is I hate them. I hate having to sit and spend time figuring out how to do things. I see other blogs that have all these videos or news stories embedded in them and I just sigh and think I do not have the patience to figure this out. Well, I've found a way to do it. The News Room provides access to thousands of news stories and it's super easy to post them on your site. All you do is hit the MASH button, it provides you with the code, copy and paste and you are on your way. This is fun!!



This is all free and so easy it took me literally 30 seconds to figure it out. You have 100's of news stories to choose from and you can earn money from this. You can sign up and every time a news story is viewed on your site you can earn money. This is really, really cool. There are a number of videos covering the debate last night but since I am in no mood to have my head explode I've passed on those. I chose the Paris Hilton video just because I think it's funny she's going to jail!! Yes, I've evil and awful, and totally cold. Whatever.

They have videos from all kinds of news agencies, AP, Reuters, CBS, news from all over. This is so unbelievably cool, you can expect to see more videos on my blogs that's for sure.

Very cool. I generally just cut and paste for news stories, but this is a great option. Thanks, Flo!

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
