Netflix on XBOX 360!!

That's right, folks.... Netflix is now on Xbox 360 and my son immediately put his request in to have a membership. Soon after he asked, my youngest who has his own Xbox 360 and stays next door with my mom put in his request. It was pretty reasonable for upto four different receivers; however, the more receivers the more the membership. For example, one receiver $8.99, two receivers $13.99 and so on....

Once all steps are completed you can put upto 500 movies and TV shows in queue. We are just getting to know how this new wave of technology plays out and I'll keep you posted (pardon the pun..). We did watch our first movie "Somebody Help Me." I wasn't too happy with the gore and suspense, yuck! It was pretty ugly, folks. I prefer comedy, thank you.

In the meantime, check it out for yourself at http://www.netflix.com/. I'll give it one thumb up and keep you posted and two thumbs up possibilities.




Technology - What will they think of next?

Okay, so the Economy is hurting and China is downsizing - visit the above link and determine if you are ready to endure some of the dirty jobs that can keep you employed. All you have to do is overlook the Ugh! and Yuck of these jobs and your in.

I'm not quite sure if I can handle the Yuck or the Ugh for that matter. The most tolerance I've had is my children, granddaughter and pooper scooping my yard. Yuck! Hey wait minute - I might be a candidate for these jobs.

China Feeling the Pressures of the Economy

Now you know the economy is in trouble when China is downsizing. As President-Elect Barack Obama prepares to announce Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State, China is lowing interest rates and showing an expected rate of 9 percent loss in economic growth.

Our President-Elect Barack Obama's Thanksgiving Message

You know.... I can't help but continue to be impressed with our President-Elect. Do you know that we are about to experience the most informational four years of presidency EVER. I just visited http://my.barackobama.com/ and viewed President-Elect Barack Obama's speech to the U.S. on Thanksgiving. What's nice about it is that not only are we able to keep up with him every step of the way but so is the entire world!

What I can confidentally say that I like about the new era of the Internet is information. Had this message to the US been on television it would have been televised at a certain time and if you missed it - you missed it. In today's world we are able to listen or view when we are ready to do so and our President-Elect is in full swing with this medium.

I'll continue to stay close and listen and view everything this President-Elect has to offer because it seems to me that he is not going to hide in the White House or feed us only what he feels we need to know - we will be informed every step of the way and my friends this is exactly what the U.S. has lacked in my lifetime.

I see the U.S. coming back into the black and coming together as one. Knowledge and knowing is half and battle and our President-Elect Barack Obama is half way there.

Angelina Jolie - Shame on you....

I knew it! Brad and Angie began their romance before Brad ended his relationship with Jennifer Aniston. The truth will always come to light my friends. Now you can read about it in http://www.omg.com/. Just click on the "Celebs."

Men Have Options and Women Have Obligations

Isn't it interesting that most and I will say "most" women are the ones that stay and see the children, home, and every other responsibility through while men are able to walk away. Sure, men have been forced to comply with their responsiblities but let's face it - if it wasn't for jail, would they willingly comply.

I know some can quickly respond, "no". Have you known of men who have quit their jobs so they do not have to pay child support? Let's hear it......

Men - There are a small percentage of you who have taken that responsibility and the WOMAN has walked away. Let's hear from you.....
