Survivor, 05062010

The Survivor episode last night was very juicy!!! It was a double elimination! Who do you think were voted off? Colby and Rupert, the two remaining loyal Heroes??? Stay tuned!!!First of all, let us go to the previous episode of 04292010. That one had stupid moves by Amanda and Colby! Amanda, Colby and Dannielle won the challenge so they were carted off to a nice hotel. When the three of them were in bed, Danielle found a clue to the hidden immunity idol under her pillow! What ensues was the biggest mistake of Amanda and Colby!! Danielle dropped the clue on the floor, Amanda picked it up and the two women had a fight while Colby was busy watching the movie!!! Colby finally woke up in his slumber!! He probably was in high heaven sleeping in between these two lovely women!!!! Wouldn't you if you were a man??? Anyway, he decided to be the referee. What do you think he did? Wow!!! That was very dumb!!!! He gave the clue to Danielle, and Amanda handed it to Danielle without reading it!!!! These two heroes are sooo stupid!!! They should have demanded to read it! Well, Danielle shared it with Russell, who at once decided to eliminate Amanda. Russell thinks Amanda is strong like Rob!!! To make the long story short, Amanda was voted off last time! Amanda, you are weak... you should have put your foot down during the fight with Danielle! Now, you are gone...Ha! Ha!Ha!!! Very dumb!!!!The first immunity challenge last night was won by Jerri! Unbelievable! Jerri finally won a challenge!!!! After the challenge, there was a note that Jeff gave to them where the hidden immunity idol was. Everybody scrambled to look for it! I thought for sure that Russell will find it again! No, he did not! Sandra found it and did not say a word to anyone! Sandra did not want to divulge that she has it. What did she do? Hid it where she found it!!! I think this is a dumb move. Russell might continue to hunt for it! On the other hand, Rupert sensing trouble in the Tribal Council tricked everyone by putting a stone in his pocket, so the people would think he has the idol! Did it work for him? You bet! Candice, the turncoat from Heroes said adieu!! Serves you right for going to Russell, who you thought will take you under his wings!!! Rupert was saved with his silly idea! Smart move, Rupert!!!For the second elimination, Rupert and Russell were head to head! Russell never won any challenges before, but this time he was ready to get it! He was feeling insecure. He had the audacity of double talking to Danielle and Parvati because he thought he was losing it with the two girls. He wanted complete control! He was sooo surprised that Parvati confronted Danielle and they found out that Russell was a liar! Goodness gracious, guys, you only realized that??? To break the alliance of Parvati and Danielle, he decided to get the votes of Rupert and Colby, who were more than happy to obliged! That means they will be safe again!!! He also threatened Jerri, who will be the next target if she do not vote for Danielle! Jerri can be easily intimidated! Jerri... Jerri... Jerri, why do you listen to the devil??? This is getting deep!!! By the way, Russell won the immunity challenge for the first time also! Needless to say, Danielle said bye,bye this time after shedding tears in the Tribal Council!!! Whoa! Danielle cried during Tribal Council??? Yup!!!Was she really hurt by Russell's turnaround on her, or because she is no longer a contender for the million dollar prize?? Probably, it is the latter reason! The two heroes are very much in the running! The villains alliance is slowly, but surely breaking up! What is happening, Russell, you can no longer control your girls? They finally found out that you will do no good to them... that you are a cheat, a liar, a manipulating, egoistic man???? Come on, girls, I never thought I will see you wake up! Band together and vote off Russell! Not a bad idea, unless now, Russell might go to the heroes to put them under his spell. It will be very interesting to see what will happen nextt!!! Will Russell still be the king of manipulators? Or will the women show they are as strong and tenacious as him??? Will the women get the heroes to band with them to vote Russell out? Which woman will remain loyal to Russell? Jerri, Parvati or Sandra? It remains to be seen!

Bottled Water

The bottled water industry has been booming for a long time. Why? People decided that it is healthier to drink water than soda! We carry bottled water wherever we go... to the gym, hiking, and travel. And everywhere we go, there is a bottled water, in our hotel rooms and restaurants. Did you know that bottled water is more expensive per gallon than tap water? The standards for the quality of tap water is more stringent than bottled water, and some brands of bottled water can just be tap water??? How about the barrels of oil per year that is used to manufacture the plastic water bottles? It is around 1.5 million barrels plus the expense of transporting the bottled water! That is why bottled water is not cheap! I am sure that almost everyone drinks bottled water. For one thing, it is very convenient, just go to the store, buy one and drink!!! Why don't we like tap water? It is because we can smell the chemicals in it, and it does not taste good! If you do not like the taste of tap water, there is a filter pitcher that you can buy, or install an inexpensive faucet filter to remove the trace of chemicals and bacteria! Or you can buy bottled water in large containers which are reusable! What happens to the discarded water bottles??? A majority end up in landfills, in the ocean or streets. It takes thousands of years for the plastic to decompose. That is why the environmental activists are not happy about this. What should we do about it? There is a town that recently banned the sale of bottled water. But that is only one. Why can't we do what the companies are doing with the pop cans and bottles? What is that? Charge a deposit of a nickle or dime per bottle and the company can perhaps recycle the bottles??? I do not know if this can be done. We have been paying a deposit for the pop cans... it is cumbersome to haul the empty cans to the stores to get your deposit back, but we have learned to embrace it. So, why can't the water bottling industry do the same thing? It will be beneficial to our planet, no mounds of plastic garbage on the ocean or landfills!!! Also, we can switch to tap water! Switching to tap water will be very beneficial and will give a huge impact, not only in our environment, but also to our wallets!! Talk to yourself about drinking tap water! I do not like the taste and smell of tap water!!! Then make sure that after you use your water bottle, recyle it!!!! It is easier said than done! To recycle something in our city, you have to drive somewhere. Why can't the city pick up the recyclables when they pick up the garbage? I think some countries are doing that already, is it not??? If that is the case, people will learn to recycle, and there will not be any plastics cluttered all over our planet!!!!

Dancing with the Stars, 05042010

Who was the celebrity that was eliminated last night? You can have three guesses. Niecy? Erin? Chad? I will let you know later! That is not fair! Tell us now!!! No way, Jose. Later!!! Have patience! After all, patience is a virtue! What does that have to do with who was kicked out of dancing with the stars? Plenty! You have to learn to wait! I cannot wait! Tough!!!! If you do not want to wait, then bye... adios... sayonara!!!! Okay, I will wait. Shucks! You are killing me with the suspense!!! Oh, well.

What is new on last night's episode? Nothing really, except the very, very bright tie of Len Goodman!!! If you are sleepy, you surely will wake up!!! It was sooo bright!!! Was it nice? To tell you the truth... I did not like it! It seems his grandson or granddaughter picked his tie! Ha! Ha! Ha!!! And Len is trying to be in the "in" crowd! Did it work? I do not really know, but people noticed it!!!! It became the center of conversation, which he was probably trying to achieve. Right, Tom????

Nicole was really fantastic on the dance floor. But did she get a 10? Nope!!! I think Len does not like her. Why? She is sexy, pretty, slim blah...blah...blah.... But she is not as sultry and as seductive as Pamela Anderson!!! I guess you are right! Pamela has more sex appeal than Nicole. And bigger curves!!! Right guys?????Ha! Ha! Ha!! I cannot believe you said that!

How about Niecy? I do not know how she earned those high marks from the judges! Maybe the judges were asleep during Niecy's performance, or they decided to give her a boost for her self esteem. Did it work for Niecy? Of course, it did! Now, she thinks she is a contender for the trophy!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! I almost fell on the floor laughing when she said that to Tony, her partner! Not in a million years, girl!!!! There are other stronger, nicer and better dancers than you!!!! You will need a year more of practice!!!! A year! That is a strong statement!!! Have you seen her dance? Watch her and come back and let us know that I am not joking!!!!

How about Erin? I think Erin is really having a good time with the show! She is a very pretty and a goofy girl!!! There is nothing wrong with that! She can move on the dance floor also. Too bad, she has very serious competitors. I do not think she will win!! Perhaps they can give her a trophy for the most goofy celebrity in Dancing with the Stars! Yeah! Why don't they give several trophies... like the most sultry and seductive, the most goofy, the most retard, the most stiff.... I can add many, many more categories but I think I will stop. What do you guys and gals think of my idea???? Sounds good???

Chad and Cheryl. Did you know that it was Cheryl's birthday? Brooke asked her about the pendant that Chad gave to her for her birthday! She had it around her neck, backwards!!!! It was a heart shaped pendant, that must have cost at least several thousand dollars! Do you think this romance is for keeps??? Or are they just playing each other?? It seems Chad is very lavish with his spending with Cheryl. Is this serious that will ultimately end up in a wedding??? If it does, I cannot wait to see how big Cheryl's engagement ring will be!!!! You are sooo stupid! Just because Chad gave Cheryl two pieces of expensive jewelry, you are already thinking of a wedding! He is just very appreciative of her!!! Appreciative, my butt!!! I have not seen anyone give something like that to their teacher!!! Well, maybe, Chad has sooo much money, he does not know what to do with it!!! What is $10,000 to someone like him??? It might not even put a dent on his wallet!!!! What do you guys think????

Then there is Evan. He danced the Tango to perfection last night, that he earned three 10's, the first time this season! How about that! Evan finally got Len's approval, after so much criticism last week! He is sooo good to look at because he is tall and graceful! Anna is starting to dress more provocatively, but I think Edyta is still the queen of an ensemble with very little fabric!!! LOL. That is why guys like watching her a lot!!! Right gents???

Who do you think will win? It is a toss up between Nicole and Evan! But you never know, because it is a question also of who has more fans outside that votes!!! So, Erin, Niecy, and Chad are still very much in the running, although I think they are not as good and better than Evan and Nicole!

I almost forgot. The celebrity that said goodbye was Pamela Anderson. The bottom two was Erin and Pamela. I wonder if Pamela was let go because she injured herself???? That is a very good question and a legitimate one, I think! We will never know if she really got the lowest votes or not. Hmmmm... What does everybody think???

Pack Rat

What is a pack rat? Anyone that hoards everything and does not want to part with it!!! A pack rat , also called a wood rat or a trade rat is an animal that has a fondness for material objects. Is this a disorder? Some believe it is a mental disorder... a compulsive hoarding and failure to discard a significant amount of possessions even if they are worthless, unsanitary or hazardous! Oh, oh. It is a mental disorder!!!! Can you believe that??? That is a strong and harsh word!! I do not think it is a disorder! Why? You are one of the pack rats? I am, and I detest what some people think! I collect memorabilia, which over the years has accumulated, but it is not floor to ceiling!!! How about all of you? I am sure that people over the years saved many, many things in their basements, in a cardboard box, a plastic bag or any appropriate container! Why do we save things? It is a memento of that special day, a gift that someone gave to us, or a treasure that someday might be very valuable! When? In a million years?? You will be gone by then! Ha! Ha! Ha!!! Then your family members can inherit it and hopefully can profit from all those years that it was kept!!! Wouldn't that be nice?? It was not saved in vain!!!! I cannot believe that some people hoard food also, beyond their expiration day! I think this is serious. Food cannot be kept past the expiration date or you might get sick! Does anyone know somebody that hoards food? I know some people, but that was before the year 2000. People were afraid of what 2000 will bring, so they stacked their pantries with food! Did these bring memories to everybody??? I see heads bobbing up and down!! Are people still doing that now? Maybe. It is hard though to keep food for a long time because you might forget it, and before you know it, it is past the expiration date! What did you accomplish here? Nothing!!! True, when you bought it, you were rejoicing because you saved a bundle. But now, you are throwing it away! Did you really save some money?? I would say no! It is really hard to part with some of our things, is it not? It is, and the only times that I can remember that I have to throw some away was when we had a flood in the basement. I tried to saved my precious pictures, but it did not work! I ended up throwing many, many priceless possessions! I was sooo heartbroken... gone are the hard copies of yesteryear! Oh well, it will still be in your memories, is it not??? It is, unless your mind becomes dull and you no longer comprehend what is going on around you!!! Then maybe, those picture albums will keep you company! Stop talking nonsense! You are becoming melodramatic! Boo hoo. Did you know you could have gone to a proffesional restoration place for your pictures? Yes, I do, but the pictures were all ruined by the water that it is impossible to do anything with it!!! Oh, well. Better luck next time! Or better yet, store your priceless possessions in a higher elevation so water will be out of the question!How about paychecks and receipts from a million years ago?? I cannot believe you still have those. It is slowly being disposed. I tell you that you keep putting it somewhere and before you know it, it has piled up!!!! My, oh, my, you are really a rat pack!!! Am I the only one that keeps old paychecks? Please let me know that I am not the only one that is obsessed with this collection!!!! How about clothes? I am also a little bit guilty about that? Just a little??? You probably have clothes since the 80's! Why don't you get rid of it??? I thought that the fashion from the 80's is coming back! You are right, fashion just keeps on rotating, but I have a question... Does the clothes you are saving still fits you??? That is a big problem!!! I cannot hardly zip it! My gosh! Did I really grew that much all over? Better yet, did the clothes shrink??? I like the last reason the best! Blame it on your dryer that shrinks clothes!!! LOL. So, now, are you getting rid of your old clothes? I will think about it! I already got rid of some of my precious shoes! You should have seen the agony in my face when I did it!!! Phew!!! It was very hard!Can you blame people for being a pack rat? Not really! What do you think is the percentage of people hoarding? How about the age group? These are very good questions!!! Can anybody give us the statistics? So, you see, it is very hard to get rid of your memorabilia that you have collected all your lifetime. But when you are gone, what will happen to it?? I do not know, but at least it is there for yor loved ones to see.... then they can decide what to do with it!!! I do not care by then, because it is out of my hands!!!!!

Celebrity Apprentice, Episode 05022010

Here we are again.... talking about Celebrity Apprentice! It is one show that we keep coming back to, week after week after week! Have you noticed something different in this episode? Did you see who is on board the show for the first time??? Eric, the third child of Donald Trump, whom I was wondering for a long time how he looks now!!!! They do not give him too much exposure like Ivanka and Donald Jr. Why is that???? Eric, I thought, is better looking far. During closeup you can see his imperfections! He is undoubtedly one of the Trumps! Boy, he is tall! Is he taller than the Junior Trump? Anyone??? All of them are tall anyway!!! I thought Eric looked different before. Did he have a facial surgery of some sort?? Maybe he was younger then. People change their looks as they grow older, is it not??? That is true! Who cares anyway, if he had a facial surgery? It is none of your beeswax!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!What is the group's challenge this time? To create a three, 30 second radio commercials for three different areas of a home repair company, which are plumbing, heating, airconditioning and heating. Brett was the choice for the project manager for Rock Solid; the members of which are Sharon and Maria! Tenacity chose Summer as project manager, the members of which are Holly, Cyndi and Curtis!!! Rock Solid group are really mischievous. You can see that they are enjoying themselves during the brainstorming sessions. When they had a meeting with the executives of the company, they were warned not to say any jokes about the plumbers! The executives were sooo uptight!! Get a life! It is already 2010! Did you think Brett will heed their request? Being Brett, of course not, even if Sharon did not want him to push ahead of his idea! Brett said that if they lose, he will take complete responsibility!!! Good for you, Brett!!! He is one hard dude!!! Did I say dude? Oh, oh, what is the world coming to??? LOL. I usually do not say that word!! Influence of television shows!!!! Oh, well, at least it is not a bad word!!! Let us get back to where I was..... Ivanka warned Brett also that the executives are strict and proper! Brett, considered yourself warned, not only once, but three times!!!! So, what did the group do?? Brett decided to live on edge and proceed with his jingle. It is right in his alley, very daring... fearless!! Is that a good sign of a good project manager??? You bet!!!! How about Tenacity??? Summer seems to be a laid back project manager, delegating everything. I know someone like that in the real world. Where is he now?? Gone!! You mean that Summer might have the same fate?? Just keep reading....Summer and Holly is at it again!!! They started to gang up on Cyndi again!! Very controlling, like mother hens! Curtis saw these and said that they are good with their creative ideas but they can be a big B sometimes! They only allowed Cyndi to do one thing! They tried to tie her around their little pinkies, which Curtis thought was not good! I also thought that they should have used Cyndi's voice more or her creative mind, which she has tons of!!! Their gathering of ideas were not as fun as the other group! This group was sooo uptight.... very serious, not as delusional as Rock Solid! If you were given a task to do, do it.... but have fun also!!! You get more from people having humor than being too uptight!!! I can see that Cyndi is very creative, very funny, but sometimes her desire to learn everything is being taken by her group differently! What can Cyndi do? Nothing. Just follow what she is told! I was soo surprised also, when Maria tried to sneak out a piece of pizza for Brett from Tenacity. Curtis saw her and was soo furious! Why didn't Maria say anything to Curtis and vice versa? They are acting like children!!! Oh,well!Who won the challenge? Brett's group did! The executives thought that their commercials were better. I thought they did not like plumber jokes?? The executives finally woke up!!! Alleluia!!!!! Rock Solid's commercials were clear, concise and original, unlike Tenacity's commercials which were so wordy! Good job, Brett and company!!! That is more money for Brett's diabetes charity! The boardroom was not a pretty sight, with Sharon and Maria attacking Curtis!!! Curtis did not even reply! When asked by Trump, he said they are women!!! Goodness gracious, Curtis, you are being attacked! Wake up!!!! No dice, he is asleep... he is immune or nonchalant with their attacks!!! I wonder what can get Curtis mad??? I think he is one of those few people that does not get mad or rattled by anybody!!! Hats off to you, Curtis!!!! You are one of a kind!!!!Summer brought with her to the boardroom, Curtis and Cyndi for obvious reasons. Of course, she will not bring back Holly, her partner in crime! Curtis fought off in the boardroom with Summer, but he is still with the same quiet demeanor! Who do you think got fired???? Sharon and Maria would have liked to have Curtis go. Did Trump heed their request? No! It was Summer who got fired, because she did not defend herself! She was only going to defend herself when Ivanka said something to her. Summer's reply was," Can I defend myself now?" Ha! Ha! Ha! She is crazy!!! Too late missy, you should have done that before Ivanka said something to you! You are hopeless, go back to what you were doing before!!!! Another one bites the dust!!!!

Married Names for Women

To drop or not to drop your maiden name, that is the big question! This is a million dollar question for some women. I am not sure what the statistics are for women keeping their maiden names. Does anyone know??? I do not know but I am assuming that in the olden ( here we go again, is there such a word? I do not know and I do not care! I like the word!! Ha! Ha! Ha!) days, it used to be that there is no question that as soon as a woman marry, she automatically relinquish her maiden name and uses her husband's name. Do not assume anything!!! Well, I do not know of any of my mother's generation that kept their maidenname! Do you??? I know in my generation that women started to use their last name or they hyphenate their maiden name with their husband's name!! Why is that??? They do not want to lose their individuality! They are egoistic!!! Lol. I am just kidding! I do not think that is the main reason. That is a very lame answer!!! If that is the reason, then the women should not have gotten married, because they are soooo much in love with themselves!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!! You are sooo stupid and crazy!!!! Then why are there so many women now with hyphenated last names? Is it because they are already well known in the business and professional world with their maiden names?? What will be the advantage of dropping their maiden names? I cannot think of anything unless they are madly in love with their husbands!! Are you serious? Yup! I think that is a very good and legitimate reason..... ask some women!!! If you are saying this, then that means the women that are keeping their last names or hyphenating it does not love their husbands??? You are so out of it! Wait until these women read this and you are in big trouble, missy!!! They will say that is nonsense! Love does not have anything to do with it!!! It is just purely proffesional! Yes, it is all in the name of business!!! Got it? Plus think of a lot of things the women have to do to change their last names.... it is easier just to let it stay as it was! I am sure that the husbands would not mind especially if the wife is earning a lot of moolah!!! Right????Some women is also saying that they should keep their maiden names, so as not to lose their identity, and also in case they get divorced!!! But how many people get divorced??? One of nine marriages, One out of six, or one out of three? Also, you do not know if your marriage is going to end up in divorce or not? You might end up married to the same man for 100 years, 6 months or 3 years! You can never predict anything in life! Anyway, there should not be a big deal of whether you should drop your maiden name or not, hyphenate your name or not, or take your husband's name. You and your partner should have a decision that both can live with!! You know what is beneficial to both of you. Nothing should dictate what you should do. After all, it is you that will be with that name... sooo you better give it a good thought. Once you decide, there is no turning back!!!

One World Government

One world Government! Has anyone heard anything about it? I have since the 90's. I dismissed it and thought that it is nonsense, that there will never be and can never be a government that will rule everyone on all corners of the world. Did you know that the newly appointed Eastern European Council President Herman Van Rompuy admitted that the G20 and Copenhagen Climate Summit are a part of creating the one world government? This will be a dream come true by dictators!!! I hope to God that it will not materialize in the near future, if this is indeed true!What is G20? It was created in 1999 by the finance ministers and central bank governors of 19 countries. The 19 countries consist of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Republic of Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States! The EU ( European Nation) is the 20th member who is represented by an appointed, not elected, rotating council president and the European central bank. Their purpose is to discuss key issues in the global economy! There is also a plan for a North American Community or Union which will include USA, Mexico and Canada. What will happen to the identity of each nation??? It will be gone forever.... no more national flags and symbols!!! It is hard to imagine that this will exist. How hard is it to rule the world??? I do not know, but the United Nations is also implicated . We will lose our constitution and freedom that we all love sooo dearly!!! Do you think the one world government is here??? Maybe, maybe not. Do you think this has something to do with America's rapid descent??? Look around you... the once glorious and magnificent world power is losing control!!! Then why are the religious, Christian leaders do not do anything?? They are afraid!!! Afraid of what? Losing their airtime on public radio and television, afraid of repercussions to them!!! Can you blame them??? Of course not! They also need to survive! Hopefully in time, they will wake up from their sleep. But when that time comes, hopefully, it is not too late!!!!From what I heard, the new world order is rapidly progressing, especially with the recent world economic upheaval! There are well known and very powerful world figures that are being implicated in this new world order, that is determined to take the world in a new level!!! Who are they??? I cannot believe that Barack Obama is one of them!! Why would he be involved in this nonsense? He is already the president of a world power, and everything he says, people from all over the world listens??? Do you believe he is into this? The other names are Javier Solana of EU, Prince Charles of Wales, Queen Beatrix of Netherlands, the daughter of Prince Bernhard who is the founder of the Bilderberg group, and Prince Hassam of Jordan, the head of the Club of Rome. These are very powerful and elite group of individuals! What would they gain from controlling the whole world??? I do not know! Do you??? Do you think it is imminent? I do not know, but do you want to lose everything that our forefathers worked sooo hard to gain our freedom? If this ever happens, which I hope is just a mere speculation or nonsense, God help each and everyone of the citizens of the world, on all four corners of the world!!
