Send the Bugs Packing

I grew up without a pest control service, which meant bugs everywhere. Sometimes it would be ants, colonies of them, popping up and creating a highway on the back patio or, worse, in the bathroom. Then there were the spiders, little web-building things that crawled too close for my comfort. Happily, somewhere along the line, my parents decided they'd had enough and hired a pest control company to maintain our property. What a night and day difference. The bugs went away and stayed away. It made life much more pleasant around our home.

Thus, I'm a big believer in using pest control services, unless you're a bug-loving family, of course. I do use caution because of my pets. It's important to make sure you know what chemicals are being used and that they are safe for your pets.

If you're in Atlanta, you can check out Atlanta Pest Control which is better known as Breda Pest Management. These professionals are highly trained with affordable pricing. No one likes to be bugged by pesky creatures. I sure don't. Having an arrangement with a quality and reliable pest control company can really make a difference, both inside and outside of your home.

Send the bugs packing today.

Don't Let the Clog Bite

Oh those nasty plumbing crises! We just hate them, especially when the disruption occurs while we're trying to sleep or expecting company. Just when we don't need problems the most, it happens.

What do you do, and who do you call? Well, if you're in the Denver area, you pick up the phone and dial Denver Plumbing, which is more commonly known as Mr. Rooter of Greater Denver.

The Great Outdoors

That sprawling spread is up for sale, and you can read about it and other ranches for sale by clicking the link. The pictures are stunning. How wonderful it would be to wake up in a place like that every morning.

Dream Houses of a Miniature Kind

As a young girl, I loved dolls, and I had a bunch of them. I treasured them. I had Barbie dolls and big dolls. If it was a doll, I wanted it. I remember one year my father gave me grief over all the dolls I had, but what did he get me for Christmas? You got it -- another doll. As I grew up, my love for dolls continued. Anytime I traveled, I picked up a new doll. They are happy memories. Then I started buying some high quality and specialty dolls, like a couple of Marie Osmond's. Dolls make me happy. They're a fun delight.

Yet, amazingly as it sounds, I've never had a dollhouse of any kind. That seems almost unbelievable to me because it seems like such a natural thing to have. The idea of having a tiny miniature of life is something I always wanted but missed out on. That's why I've enjoyed looking at Zoolabees Dollhouse Miniatures so much. I keep imagining how I'd decorate it.

I'd want my dollhouse to be complete with everything that mirrors a real home: an office, living room, a patio, dollhouse nursery accessories, little dining room sets, and just everything that makes up a home. They have this cute little mahogany Carlton desk that I love. It would be the center of my miniature office. Then my bedroom would have their Hansson walnut night stands. I adore those and need at least two.

No home, big or small, would be complete without my beloved pets, so I naturally gravitated to the pet section. The first thing I'd get is the miniature beagle. Everyone knows I love beagles. I've been blessed with two in my life, so this is a natural. There's a pet bed available, too, and lots more to make sure my dream house includes my animal kingdom.

Perusing this site just takes me back to happy days, and it gives me a chance to dream about my perfect dream house.

Zoolabees makes me dream about good things. I love that!

Credit Cards Made Easy

Credit cards aren't necessarily the villains that people often play them out to be. Successful use and managing of credit cards actually improves our credit rating, and that rating controls our ability to get the house of our dreams or get that educational loan for our children.

The trick is often finding the right credit for you, and these days, Australians have plenty of credit card offers to choose from. Credit Card Application can assist Aussies in this process as they are one of the country's leading financial comparison websites. They have the latest credit card offers and can help you to compare each card to make sure that you get the card best matched for your financial needs. Among the companies compared are St. George credit cards, Westpac credit cards, and NAB credit cards.

Citibank credit cards are also featured on the website. One of the offers is a Citibank Gold Card with limits of $25,000 and up to 55 days interest free on retail purchases, which captured my attention. This card also gives the customer access to a free rewards program, free international travel insurance, and Qantas frequent flyer points. That works for me!

This site can make the credit card application a simple and painless process. Check it out!

Our Children Are Alive with the Sound of Music

Music is the joy of life. It fills our souls and expresses our hearts. It's a vital and moving way of communicating. Not only that, but music is just plain fun. Have you seen the classic musical, "The Sound of Music?" For the Von Trapp family, music enriched their lives in a visible and audible way. Their family re-awakened through the shared love of song.

Parents have a responsibility to make sure that music touches the lives of their children. In fact, they should encourage and nurture this in their offspring. It's not just the fun element, but music teaches. Kids of all ages learn from music, and the younger they are exposed to it, the better.

Child music education can help your child to progress positively through life. It's never too young to start. There are baby music classes available from newborn on up to age 7. This age is generally when your child would now definitely be enrolled in formal education and learning through your school's music system.

Child music class combine music and dance, with song and movement taught as one to help stimulate your child's learning processes. It's amazing what it can do, and it encourages family participation. What is learned in class can be carried over for the whole family to enjoy as you re-enforce what was covered in the class.

Music is joy, and you and your family are encouraged to check out the classes offered. You can even try one online to give you an idea of how the class operates. You don't have to be the Von Trapp Family Singers to benefit from this musical education. All you need to be is excited in having a unique opportunity to motivate your young children to grow from a fun and playful subject -- music!

Singing a Relaxing Tune

Tonight I ran across the neatest product, singing bowls. These are based on the holistic medicine belief that crystals are healing, something I've heard for most of my life. I perused the inventory and found a very nice crystal frosted singing bowl that's 9" in diameter that's just shy of being totally pure crystal. It creates a relaxing sound that is great for meditation and just sitting back, letting the stress go from your body. They're sturdy and durable. I could use one of these because I'm so stressed these days. There's a lot more than Crystal Singing Bowls on the website, and I would definitely recommend taking a look to see if there's something you might like.

Out Shopping

We are want to get the best deals on furniture and accessories. I was looking around for mattresses since my foundation is broken and I end up sleeping at an angle, which is a real pain. It's driving me crazy so it's time to start comparing prices and finding some good deals. I found a nice Simmons Beautyrest Classic Pillow Top Mattress w/Triton Foundation at a good price. Here's the kicker -- free shipping. There's more to look at, but that was enough to keep me looking.

I noticed this place also had bedroom furniture. I saw all different kinds of set ups and at some great prices. I checked out the bathroom pieces, too, and noticed some bathroom vanities that were of interest. There were both single and double ones available, made of solid wood and with marble tops, which I love a lot. These are so lovely to look at. I sure wish I had the space for a couple of these, but I have a tiny bathroom.

While I was shopping around, I also checked out their outdoor couches. There were so very comfortable looking sectionals that grabbed my attention. They're very stylish, too.

There's just so much to be seen at this site, and in all price ranges. That's one of the things I liked about it. The pricing options are wide and varied, so you can find something to fit your budget, and with the free shipping, there are some awesome deals to be explored. Take a look and enjoy the shopping!

News and Notes for a Tuesday

Tuesday was such a busy day. First, I think it's so sad about Mike Tyson's young daughter. I can't stand Tyson, but the little girl was an innocent, and she sounds like she was so adorable. Apparently, she somehow got her neck in a treadmill cord. I guess she strangled herself by accident. Parents, that's a wake up call. Please make sure your homes are child proof. Think like a four-year-old as you walk through your house. Don't take chances. I just feel so bad for this little girl. Locally, on Monday a toddler was run over during a Memorial Day get together. Two seconds out of sight, and it was the wrong two seconds. Protect our children!

Then I just shook my head at the decline of Mel Gibson. His soon-to-be ex-wife deserves everything she can get, and I hope she gets her full half like California law requires. Gibson's girlfriend is pregnant, something he's confirmed now. It's not a surprise that his ex finally filed for divorce. Gibson used to be so highly respected. Then there was the DUI, the Jewish rant, and now the affair. Is this a mid-life crisis, or has he always been like this, and we just didn't see it?

Also on Tuesday, the California Supreme Court upheld the ban on gay marriage 6 to 1, while also stating that those couples married prior to the ban being passed are still married with all the rights and privileges thereof. So, it's a victory for those couples, but a loss for the gay rights activists and proponents. They are already working on a new ballot measure, probably for 2010. With so many other states already allowing gay marriage, I don't see how California can be a leader (while proclaiming to be so liberal as a state) and then lag behind. It's just an emotional issue for everyone. I just wonder how anyone can say love is a bad thing, especially when it's so hard to find anymore. I do understand the Biblical argument against gay marriage. I just love the idea of love, and I believe when it's real, it's so powerful that it shouldn't be denied.


A Place to Visit

Used with proper care and caution, participating in chat rooms can be a fun and rewarding experience. People love to talk. Sharing our lives or just getting away from it all by listening to someone else is part of our nature. With the advent of the internet and chat rooms, this is now easier than ever. This website is a hundred percent free and allows internet surfers to settle in and take a break, getting to know others while never leaving the comfort of their own home (or wherever they are accessing the internet).

One of the best things about this website is that it allows people who share something in common to get together. In this particular spot, the shared event is an interracial relationship. Sometimes it's just easier to talk to someone who is experiencing the same thing we are. When you walk in the door, just knowing that you'll find others who perhaps are going through similar problems or situations is a big plus, and it's by no means just negative things, but sharing the joy of your relationship and all the success stories is fun and exciting.

This site also makes it possible to have video chats, so if you have a webcam, you have lots of video rooms to choose from. It's easy to sign up for interracial chat rooms ,and it only takes a moment.

Magnetic is the 'In' Thing

These days magnetic jewelry is more popular than ever. This style of jewelry is known for its therapeutic value. Now, there's nothing scientific that can be claimed about that, but throughout modern times, many believe magnetic jewelry has helped them physically. The one negative thing about this jewelry has been that it in the past it's been so, well, ugly. Now, though, magnetic jewelry is stylish and attractive. It comes in different colors and with detailing that makes it alluring. Magnetic jewelry has come a long, long way.

Magnetic Rings are part of the collection at Billythetree.com, a family-owned company that is proud of the products they offer, many of which are handcrafted in the United States. Their collection includes anklets, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and more. I was looking over their semi-precious magnetic bracelets and thought they were lovely. The peridot one was very pretty. It's 24k gold plated with peridot stones embedded into the bracelet. It has 2,000 gauss neodymium and north pole magnets on every link. I really like that one, though I was hoping they might have one i my birthday month, which is January. The emerald one for the month of May got my attention, too.

With a 60-day money back guarantee and free shipping worldwide, this magnetic jewelry merchant is ultra appealing.

Finding Financial Freedom

Debt! It's highly stressful and it makes life miserable. In fact, it can affect a person physically, increasing blood pressure and the like. Owing money is traumatic. Oftentimes, by no fault of our own, we find ourselves in debt. Household emergencies, medical crises, unexpected life changes: all of these can play a part in our getting so financially behind that we wonder if there's really a way out. We get trapped in the maze of credit card debt where we owe more interest than the amount for the true purchase we made. No one is alone in this personal torture. Millions of Americans have or are going through it. The trick is to find a way out, and that's not always easy in these economically troubled times.

We need help. We need Debt Relief. Consumers need an advocate, someone who can work through the ins and outs of credit lenders and get us Debt Reduction that can allow us to live again without sleepless nights and nervous days where we struggle to climb the financial mountain.

Debt Negotiation could very well be the answer. It's worth looking into, especially since doing so can be without obligation and at no cost. It's time to live again and smile, being free of debt.

Experiencing Your Car-to-Be

Buying a car is a serious matter. We need all the help we can get. A lot of times these days, people are going online in search of details on the vehicles they're interested in. I found a place today that is super awesome because it plays videos of cars it reviews. Imagine that! We get to go along for the ride watching Audi videos or Acura videos or perhaps Aston-Martin videos.

I actually watched a video on the 2010 Honda Insight. It really gives you a feel for the car. You can see how it responds, watch the displays as they are working, and view how the car drives in the city and in the country. It's much more vivid and helpful than reading a magazine article or playing with a 3-D display. Those are helpful in their ways, but there's nothing like experiencing the car in motion, and that's what you get with this website.

Clicking the above links result in a multi-media event. Along with the videos, there are written articles and reviews, as well as galleries. There are news stories, too, including announcements about upcoming auto shows. There's just a lot to take in. It's one of the most relevant automotive sights I've been to because it's informational and current and because it helps me to do more than just visualize a vehicle I'm interested in, I can practically experience it.

Getting Ready for Summer

Summertime is approaching, and the living is hot, hot, hot. It's time to prepare for these hot days with a new swimsuit. What do you think of this navy butterfly suit? It's a little low cut for me, but I love the navy color that actually looks a bit more royal blue to me. You can't see the back, but it's a very secure cross back with spaghetti straps. It has a belt, but I'm not much of a belt user with bathing suits. This cooling outfit is made of 80% cotton and 20% spandex. It's imported and requires hand washing, which is the part I don't like about it. I think it's an attractive piece that looks like the ocean.

I found this item while looking over the collection of bathing suits at AmiClubWear. They have a huge variety of one- and two-piece suits available at pretty good prices. I do wish there were at least a couple of swimsuits that were on the modest side, but then I'm pretty traditional with my taste. A higher neckline on this one would have made it perfect for me. I do love the colors and different patterns to choose from on the website; there's definitely something for everyone.

Whether sitting around the pool relaxing, taking a cooling swim, or vacationing in the tropics, there are some very good swimsuits available for purchase at AmiClubWear.

Read, Write, and Earn

One of the biggest activities on the internet these days is blogging. It's a great way of reaching out to others, letting them know our thoughts and views, critiquing sports, news, and entertainment issues, sharing tips on self-help, do it yourself projects, and how to make money on the internet. Some bloggers just like to rant. Whether a blog is focused on a solo theme or more widely themed like mine, blogging is one of the most effective means of communicating on the internet. If you've been thinking about starting a blog, now's a good time.

There's a fairly new site on the web that is exciting for new bloggers. It's called Seekopia, and what makes it unique is that it combines blogging, social networking, and advertising. Just by having a blog on Seekopia, the blogger is making money because they automatically own a share of the advertising. The type of ads used are both context and adverts, which can be custom ads chosen by the blogger.

This is a perfect way for newcomers to create a free blog. The more you write, the more you earn, and that's pretty cool. It's easy for others to follow your blog, and for you to follow your favorite blogs as well. You even had a lot of control over what you read in that you can blacklist posts, tags, and individual bloggers that you'd prefer not to see.

In just their first 40 days, Seekopia already has 137 bloggers on board. That's a great start, and I'm planning on checking it out myself.

Dress Up Fun

Costume parties are so much fun. Most of the time, we tend to think of costumes during October when Halloween is approaching, but often overlooked is the idea of costume party any time of the year. I was looking at a really neat infant costume in the character of Woody from “Toy Story.” I adore cowboys, and that's such a natural fit for a little boy. This outfit is so darn cute, too. It has a brown hat, booties, and the full body suit costume. It's available in other sizes, as well. There was another boys costume that I liked, too, for an astronaut. It's my second favorite one that I looked at. There's so much to choose from.

If you are looking towards the pumpkin month, check out the many Girls Halloween Costumes and Boys Halloween Costumes that are available. They even have men's and women's sizes *and* plus sizes for men and women, and that's pretty neat.

They offer same-day shipping for orders placed before 6pm, and there's free shipping on orders totaling $60 or more. They have makeup, accessories, hats, and wigs. There are costumes from the 60's and 70's. Would you like to dress up your pet? They have pet costumes, too, from Bewitched to Batman and even Mickey Mouse. Now that's a hoot!

Odds and Ends

I wanted to wish everyone a happy Memorial Day weekend. Here's to those who have kept this country safe in the decades past and those who continue to do so on a daily basis. We're proud, and we're grateful!

Nigel Lythgoe took a big hit on the opening of So You Think You Can Dance. GLAAD didn't like his response to two male dancers who danced together. It didn't bother me, and I don't think there's a flap here. These two guys are not a same-sex couple. One is homosexual, the other is straight. They just haven't been able to find female partners that suited them, so they danced together. Frankly, they weren't all that good. Nigel was a bit surprised by the two, but he still critiqued them fairly. I just think that the flack GLAAD is causing isn't the type that helps its cause. He wasn't being hateful; he was just reacting.

Sometimes I think we create our own problems. Is being politically correct the only way to be? Do you want someone to express their true reaction, or lie? This country is diverse. It's not about everyone believing the same way, it's about everyone having the same rights. Those two men were allowed to dance together and be critiqued together. That was their right. I guarantee you that had they been good, they'd have gone forward in the competition. Lythgoe doesn't have to lie about his reaction; he just has to be fair in his judgments for the show, and he was. Again, had he said something hateful or brash, that would be different, but he didn't. So, in my opinion, GLAAD is just pushing people away, not bringing us together.

Has anyone tried the new Pepsi Throwback? I'm just curious what folks think about it. I'm still undecided about it myself.

The Apprentice UK

Y'know, the UK version of The Apprentice is somewhat refreshing. The boardroom is certainly more real. I just watched my first episode of it, thanks to cable on demand for the BBC network. There's some nice differences between the two shows. Of course, I've only watched one episode so far, so we'll see what happens after I see a few more.

Comfort is So My Style

Shoes. Man or woman, we have to have shoes. We're wearing one kind of shoe or another for most hours of the day. We walk and run in shoes for hours, and our feet endure being surrounded by some type of shoe material even while we're sitting or lying down. Doesn't it make sense to make sure our shoes are nice and comfortable? Our feet need to breathe, and shoes need to be properly fitted for health reasons.

This merchant proudly proclaims that they are the place where fashion is comfort. They carry all kinds of shoes that are made to fit in a relaxed and easy manner.

More Dancing

Tonight was the debut of So You Think You Can Dance on Fox. I really enjoy this program a lot. It's a kinder program than American Idol, and the judges are more in sync. There were some awesome dancers. It'll be a great season.

On another note, NASCAR is prepping for the big 600 mile race on Saturday evening. Jeff Gordon ended up third, with Ryan Newman getting the pole. It'll be a great race.

Wilmington Memories

I have a very special fondness for Wilmington, North Carolina as a friend of mine was born there. He had such wonderful memories of his birthplace. He often told me how friendly the people were, and he always enjoyed going back for visits. That's a very strong testimonial for Wilmington and its surrounding areas because he was a very choosy person. So, if you're looking to relocate, consider Wilmington. Newcomer or long-time resident looking to move to another area of the city for whatever reason, just click this link -- Wilmington NC Real Estate -- and you'll be at the website of Coastal Carolina Properties, a great professional company that can help you find your dream house.

Update

For my fan fic readers, finally getting some of the betas back and I'm really saying to get these ready to publish.

Robert and Holly

So, I'm finding myself watching General Hospital again, but only for a couple of weeks. There's this whole thing about Ethan and who his mom and pop are. Most think Holly is the mom, and the real question is dad. Is it Luke? Or could it be Robert? I want it to be Robert, because I'm a huge Robert and Holly fan.

Here's why that won't happen and why I'm wasting my time watching for the big reveal. Well, okay, it's not a total waste. Emma Samms is one of my favorite celebrities. She's a sweetheart, and I've always liked her, so taking in her short comeback is really nice, even with the new hairdo. Anywho, it won't be Robert's because in real life, Emma and Tristan Rogers had a relationship that was very strong, but Emma ended it, and Tristan never really got over it. They rarely appear on GH together. I think it's hard, and that's understandable, even with all the years that have gone by and the other relationships/marriages each has had.

Still, in my heart, Robert and Holly are still together, living happily ever after in Australia, which is how their characters were written out when both left the show about the same time. Everything since then is just an alternate reality!

Romantic Delight

I have really fond memories of my trip to Vermont. It was incredible and totally awesome. It's the perfect spot for a family vacation, and you can find that out for herself by clicking this link: Family vacation Vermont

Stowe, Vermont is just lovely. It's a perfect spring-time getaway, with lush greenery all around, or it's the ideal winter ski outing, with blankets of white powdery snow to play in and on.

It's a very romantic and picturesque area, making it great for couples just starting out. Vermont is known for its fall foliage with multi-color views sprouting everywhere.

Vermont weddings give forever memories that will tingle your heart and warm your soul. The beautiful and refreshing locale offers a variety of Vermont honeymoon packages to fulfill your dreams, too.

When not enjoying the shops and restaurants, you can relax in your comfortable guest room, suite, or townhouse. These are unique and classic accommodations to make your visit its very best, and with 107 different rooms available, there's something for everyone. There are terrific pleasures to be enjoyed, such as afternoon tea and cookies and has health club, complete with soothing jacuzzi. You can even get a massage, if you like.

I'll never forget my time in Vermont. You won't either!

A Surprising Idol

Surprising, yes, but a shocker? NO! American Idol loves to shock. Fans are unpredictable, and that says it all. Tonight, the dark horse, Kris Allen, was dubbed the American Idol, and no one was more surprised than the humble Allen himself. I like the guy. Most thought Adam Lambert was the shoe-in. Last year, they thought the same about David Archuleta. America loves to surprise. Like Archuleta, though, Lambert doesn't need the Idol title. He is a star.

What I love about Kris Allen is that he never changed. He did this his way, with faith and honesty. He bucked the system, and he won the big prize.

No tears for Lambert. He'll be signed by morning. Danny Gokey shined, too. I'll be very surprised if most of the season 8 performers don't go on to success. They were the most talented cast of the entire series.

I Love Quality

Now this is great. Here's an auto network in Southern California that guarantees their repairs for life. I want that big time!

California's State of Affairs

I have to say I was quite happy to read that the Commission voted today to cut state lawmakers' pay by 10%. It's about time these guys paid some of the price along with the rest of us!

The Swayze Family


This is the Brian Braff photo that was released yesterday after all of those premature death reports of Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi. It was taken on May 13 at their ranch in New Mexico. He's still smiling. Granted, he's very thin, but he's doing great. We love you, Patrick!

Where's the Breeze?

I cannot survive the heat. I'd strike out as a pioneer, big time. I need air -- cool, fresh, heat-reducing air! Therefore, I *have* to have good air conditioning. Aircon247 is a great site that offers all kinds of air conditioning, air cooling, and storage heating. Even cooler, they sell both in the UK and internationally, so America and other countries can take advantage of their large selection. In fact, they have the largest choice of systems on the web. Another plus: free shipping to those in the UK. You can't beat that! Keep those cool breezes coming, and check out Aircon247.

No More Taxes

California rebelled yesterday and vetoed all the proposed taxes that were supposed to help balance the budget. Amen to that! Taxing folks who are already taxed to the hilt, not to mention unemployed and struggling, isn't the way to solve the budget crisis. What they did pass, though, was the one proposition that will prevent the legislature from getting their pay increases and the like while the budget goes unfixed. Way to go, Golden State! Fight back!

And yippee! The judges' fix didn't work, and Shawn Johnson won Dancing with the Stars! I screamed I was so happy! Way to go, Shawn!

American Idol and Mr. Hendrick

It was close. America could go either way in the voting. Either way, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are bound to be stars. They did great!

Now it's on to the Dancing with the Stars finale. I'm going to have to miss the Glee debut on Fox as a result. I'm curious about that new show. Hopefully, it'll be rerun, or maybe Fox has it on its website for viewing.

I did manage to catch Rick Hendrick on Oprah when it was rerun tonight. He's the car owner of my favorite NASCAR driver, Jeff Gordon, so I was curious to see him. He donated 10 2008 Chevrolet vehicles to a man who gives cars to needy people, like a single mom who is unemployed. She paid $134 for her car. Hendrick also gave him $10,000, $1,000 per car to pay for gas for a year. Way to go. Rick!

Great information

Yampot is a super site that explains about all kinds of work gear, not just what they are but things you should know to find the right item for you. You can learn about safety gloves, tool belts, cotton overalls, and so much more.

Go to Yampot to check out their industrial gear information. It's a must!

Eliminate the Plop, Plop, Plop

Have rusty pipes plaguing your home? Is that dripping faucet driving you insane with its plop, plop, plop? Are you ready to upgrade to a new, more modern and environment-friendly plumbing system? If so and you reside in the Long Beach area, then it's time to contact Long Beach Plumbing. They can handle all of your plumbing needs in a professional and cost-efficient manner.

No one wants to call a plumber for an emergency service, which is not only costly to the homeowner, but is often darn nasty to deal with. It actually pays better to keep your home up to date with properly working plumbing fixtures. Long Beach Plumbing would love to establish a long-term relationship with its clients, to be able to keep consumers from facing those emergency situations in the first place. They want to be the number you call when you have a plumbing project to be done.

A visit to their website will educate Long Beach consumers in how to go about getting the right plumber for them. Of course, this company believes it's the right professional for you. From pipe issues to drain problems and everything else, they're there for you, whenever you need them.

Big TV Night

It's a big TV night this Tuesday evening. The American Idol finale is tonight, and it'll be Adam Lambert against Kris Allen. That should be a powerful show. Then it's the results show where the champion will be awarded the Mirror Ball on Dancing with the Stars. The three finalists, Gilles Marini, Melissa Rycroft, and Shawn Johnson have one more dance to do for the judges only to score. If the judges hold true to their rigged scores this season, they'll make as sure as they can that Rycroft makes the final two. I really believe they've manipulated their scoring consistently to aid Rycroft. Big night on the tube.

Patrick's Just Fine

For those who haven't heard, Patrick Swayze is just fine. He's not dead. Apparently, a Florida radio station said he'd died this morning. The rumor spread like wildfire. His publicist quickly put out a denial. He's doing just fine on his ranch with his wife and family.
