Mayor Bans BAKE SALES! Sugar Free Mix a Solution

 

I am not sure if the Mayor fully understands just how much money Bake Sales can raise for city school kids because if he did, he may not have banned having them!  I remember that when each of my kids where in the 5th grade at P.S. 41, their grades raised $5,000 for graduation costs!!!!  

Mayor:  How about Sugar Free Bake Sales???  Sounds like a win/win solution to me!  Can someone tell me how to get this Sugar Free Cookie Mix to the Mayor or Chancellor???

 

Glamour Magazine: Thank You for being a Leader!

 

Glamour Magazine is making BIG news for using normal size models in the November issue.  Today Dove took out a full page ad in the NY Times thanking Glamour for celebrating beauty in all shapes and sizes.  In the ad DOVE also encourages the public to let Glamour know that we like this!  I think it is important to let them know when they do something commendable.  So I went to www.facebook.com/glamour and became a fan and wrote a comment to the effect of "It is about time that a brave editorial staff took a stance".

If you feel like Glamour did something cool--please voice your opinion!

 

9-9-09 Lottery-SOLD OUT

I never heard of this before but....when I went to buy daily number tickets for today, I was shut out!  I asked to get 999 and the cashier punched it in and the computer said NO.  He told me they were sold out! Guess everyone was thinking the same thing.  For their sake, I hope 999 comes up.

09-09-09: Lucky Day, Luck Numbers

Tomorrow is a lucky numbers day: 9/9/09, which falls on a Wednesday in September(both words have 9 letters).  Many couples wait for lucky numbers days to get married--I guess an opportunity for more luck in having a happy union is worth waiting for!

As for myself?  I'll play the lotto tomorrow!  Good Luck to you--if you do the same!

This site, People of Walmart, is getting a lot of attention.  Some call it humor, some call it making fun of the poor.  What do you think?

Leon Roach

Is this the worst death story you have heard of?  It is tragic and just terrible.  Roach, a college athlete, 19 yr. old., died after missing the landing pad while practicing his sport.  He fell on his head and had a terrible accident.  You can read about it here.

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett-Gone

Anyone my age knows that both of these two stars were huge in our day. When I learned of their passing yesterday I was struck by what impact they had on my teen years. All of my friends and I wanted to be Farrah Fawcett-she was the ultimate woman to be! We thought she was IT! Remember that poster of her with the Red bathing suit and the haircut that we all eventually tried to emulate? She was so popular. All we had back then was the 3 big network channels, ABC, CBS, and NBC-there was no internet or cable, so everyone watched primetime TV and everyone watched Farrah.
We also knew Michael before he became weird and scary. I loved "Off the Wall" his album before "Thriller". We listened to it all of the time during my freshman year of college. Everyday. Back then, he kept his dark skin and his afro and he was handsome, normal, and looked like a man(a young cute man). I really liked him. I liked him since he was with his family in the Jackson Five and on TV. He was such a cute little boy, beaming from his smile. He was very much part of my growing up. My kids never knew of him before he started losing it. As strange as he has been in the recent past, I still remember the normal Michael. He was very influential, made his mark, and changed music and dancing as we knew it.
Two stars of my era --gone in a day.
