"Open Heart Surgery" By Mark Lowry Comedy

Hello All:

Now for something more funny and/or mildly sick -- "Open heart surgery" by Mark Lowry. Well, little did Mark know that the doctors that do research on health foods and all of that fun stuff has discovered back at some point last year (2008), I think that that Mexican food is actually pretty good for you, (a.k.a. healthy.) I just thought that it was too funny, considering that Mark LOVES Mexican food and it's actually healthy stuff. :)

Holy shit, that's a HUGE bill there, dude!!

Wow! A Quadrillion-Dollar Credit Card Bill

North Texas man gets 17-digit surprise on his credit-card statement

By ELLEN GOLDBERG

Updated 6:54 PM CDT, Wed, Jul 15, 2009

NBC DFW .

Jon Seale's credit card statement had a $23 quadrillion surprise on it this month.

A North Texas man has a 17-figure credit card statement after a bank glitch resulted in an eye-popping charge.

Wow! A Quadrillion-Dollar Credit Card Bill banking glitch turned a charge from Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck into a whopping 17-figure credit card charge.

This is what it looks like: $23,148,855,308,184,500.00.

Here’s how to say it: 23 quadrillion,148 trillion, 855 billion, 308 million, 184,000, 500 dollars.

It's more than 2,000 times the national debt -- and, according to Jon Seale's online credit card statement, it’s what he spent July 13 at Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck.

“For that amount of money, I could actually own Wolfgang Puck himself," Seale said.

Seale, a husband and father of five from Trophy Club, spent much of Tuesday making calls to Wachovia and Visa in hopes of getting the exorbitant charge removed from his Wachovia Visa Buxx credit card. Both companies told him they were working to resolve the issue.

“It's an inconvenience, but it's not like I was truly worried my money was gone," he said. "It’s an obvious, glaring error.”

Seale even tried tracking down the celebrity chef himself.

“I tried to find Wolfgang Puck on Facebook and add him as a friend to see if he’d make a comment, but I didn’t have any luck finding him," Seale said.

Visa said the technical glitch that resulted in the giant charge only affected some customers with prepaid Visa cards.

"A temporary programming error at Visa Debit Processing Services caused some transactions to be inaccurately posted to a small number of Visa prepaid accounts," said Visa spokeswoman Elvira Swanson said in a written statement. "The technical glitch has been corrected, and all erroneous postings have been removed.”

Steale was not the only Visa Buxx cardholder to see the huge charge on his statement. A New Hampshire man found the $23 quadrillion charge after buying a pack of cigarettes at a gas station. A Visa representative said affected customers will also have the $20 overdraft fees removed.

Carpe Duh, Or The Story Of The Bad Neighbor And Bad Former Friend.

Hello All:

You know, I just had to post something here about the stupid ass stuff about what a former friend and a somewhat former neighbor did here. Of course, I should point out here that the former friend was not the somewhat former neighbor -- the two are totally separate from each other!! The former friend mentioned in the video blog below, I was friends with up until like 1994, and the somewhat former neighbor hasn't completely moved out of her condo across the street from where I currently live right now with my hubby.

What is even worse is that the former friend got what she diserved when I quit being friends with the girl, because the girl's, well, reprehensible behavior was what got her in hot water with the girl's dad in the first place. Oh well, folks. In the words of one Forrest Gump: "That's all I'm gonna say about that," other than to tell you to enjoy watching the below video montage!! :)

Good Jazz Song

Hello All:

I happen to be a Squirrel Nut Zippers fan and this video is one of my favorite versions of this song. I hope that you enjoy this song as well, folks!!

Funny Video About Michael Jackson's Death

Hello All:

I watched this video and I nearly died laughing, because this guy has a point, but he swears a whole lot in this video. Granted, I didn't care for some of Michael's antics while he was alive, but Michael was a really gifted preformer when it came down to brass tacks.

Elton John - Nikita (Promo Video)

Hello All:

I love this video. This video is a great video to watch, so I am sharing it with all of you. :)

Heritage Trail pt 3

Hello Folks:

Here is the video that you can actually SEE the shorts/skirt bottoms that I was talking about in the below blog!! If you watch the video right up until the 3:36 (3 minute 36 second) marker, you WILL see what those shorts look like that I was talking about in the below typed blog. This very same pair of shorts is the ones that the "Concerned cousin" LIED and said was "Too short" for her (and I'm 90% sure that it's a HER, because there's only 2 cousins who would bash me here and they're both girls), would LIE and tell my mother-in-law that "I (meaning ME) was wearing 'too short' of a skirt receintly." (Yeah right, stupid!!)

Okay, now THAT is complete bull shit!!

Hello All:

I had some stuff that I wanted to share with all of you this evening, because it has been bothering the shit out of me over the past day or so. I had discussed with my husband about leaving a video blog over in you tube to get this issue off of my chest with my husband making some additional comments as well, but I then go to thinking that in the end, well, it just really wasn't worth it, due to the message just getting lost on the people that I would have been making the commentary about there in that video. I have decided to just type up a regular blog about it here, since I am 90% sure that the people who actually watch my videos over in you tube don't actually know that I have this blog here that I write (or post videos to on a somewhat regular basis.)

I have had it come to my attention in the past 24-48 hours that there have been certain people in my husband's family, (starting with Tony's mom, Margie) that have been bashing me behind my back, because these "Certain people" don't like what I wear in public. You want to know what amazes me the most, people??? What amazes me the most about the whole thing is that my mother-in-law despises what I wear in public and that woman apparently thinks that she's a whole lot better than me for some probably sophomoric reason. (My question now is is "Why in the hell does this woman think that she's better than me? I have actually held down a job fairly regularly and I don't miss work because I 'Shit on myself' while I am actually at work. I dress respectfully and in a manner that makes me comfortable and happy.")

My mother-in-law has apparently been bashing me so frequently behind my back that some of her younger cousins, (who are about my age, approximately, and I'm talking like within like 3-5 years of my age, either slightly older or slightly younger in age) now apparently think that it is "Acceptable" to bash me behind my back to my mother-in-law over the phone or in person. I know this much, folks -- if I ever and I mean ever manage to drag some of those cousins' names out of my mother-in-law, some of those cousins are going to get a real talking to from me. I am not going to touch them to lay a hand on them, unless these cousins touch me first and I'm talking about them hitting me first, (which is what I'm going to ensure happens, trust me, people!!) I know that my mother-in-law, in fact, has been bashing me to my very own parents, and my mother-in-law has been saying that my m-i-l thinks that "I should start wearing those outfits that she (my m-i-l) has picked out for me and the woman cannot understand why I won't wear those outfits."

Oh, gee, woman, I don't know -- maybe it's got something to do with that turd brown outfit you got me that one time for Christmas!!! You know, I'm not big on any shade of brown colored clothing for myself or anybody else for that matter, folks. Besides, what would I be doing going around town looking like a giant human turd in that god-awful, brown outfit in the first place? You tell me here, folks, because I don't foresee me parading around town in that nasty outfit. This is all not to mention that I look just awful in brown (in any shade) to be honest. Put me in orange, (especially when I have a nice, dark tan) and I look really bronzed here, people.

My opinion is that I'd rather be given money, (because I have some stuff that I know that I would like to have that I'd rather prefer to pick out for myself), not to mention that money is the "Universal gift." I also have to admit that I would rather be given money, because sometimes just a little bit of money will help me pay a bill or two that might have recently become due and I really would rather have money than clothes, due to me needing to pay the bills before I have some "Fashionable clothes," according to my m-i-l. (Oh, and as a side note, folks, for those of you that don't know, a quick definition -- m-i-l = mother-in-law. I just got sick of typing the whole word out, so I just shortened it to m-i-l.)

I have genuinely gotten fed up with my m-i-l, because she also has the terrible tendency to "Forget shit," especially when it comes to that woman's family, (namely those cousins that I mentioned above here in this blog!!) It appears to me that when I discovered that my hubby and I had not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 people graduating from high school this year, my m-i-l thought that it was "More important that my hubby and I go to just one of those cousins' graduations and that one graduation was for the boy of one of my m-i-l's other cousins."

As both my hubby and I have explained to m-i-l, my hubby and I ended up missing two of the graduation parties, because the three boys, (one was my hubby's younger cousin, as I mentioned above and the other 2 boys were my younger cousins) had graduation parties right when it really was not a good idea for us (my hubby and myself) to show up. As a matter of fact, folks -- my 2 boy cousins' graduation party was on a day that my hubby and I were literally at the other end of the state, (of Kentucky!!) for something in relation to my birthday that particular day, [earlier this month.] In fact, my hubby and I were caving inside of Mammoth Cave National Park when my two boy cousins had their graduation party that weekend.

What really gets me, people is that by the time that my hubby's cousin's graduation party rolled around the following weekend, my hubby and I were absolutely broke and the only money that my hubby and I had was for us to purchase food for us that week. Not to come across as self-centered here, people, but if it came down to you getting to eat a warm meal the very next day and giving that money to somebody who is well enough off to have themselves a graduation party, which one do you think that you'll pick to spend your money on? My hubby and I picked to be able to eat some warm meals over getting those kids graduation money, until after I got paid again the following week at my current job, which of course, my m-i-l threw a huge hissy fit over my hubby and I not coming to that party.

You see, folks, my m-i-l expects and demands that my hubby and I put my hubby's family before our own needs or even my own family. My hubby got to hear about it from his mom, (as did my own mom) about how it was "Way more important that my hubby and I show up at this cousin's graduation party, even though my husband and I had absolutely no money, (or anything else for that matter) to give this kid in the way of a graduation present."

My m-i-l also got madder as time passed and she went on to also say to both my hubby and to my mom that that "She, (my m-i-l) was of the opinion that my hubby and I should absolutely not go to my one girl cousin's graduation party [the fourth person that I mentioned above who graduated from high school] on June 20, [2009] since we couldn't go to her (again, my m-i-l's) cousin's graduation party the weekend before at another cousin's house. Not to mention that we (my hubby and I) should have shown up at the one boy's graduation party for even just the food as well, since the boy's parents had one hell of a fine spread in the way of food there."

Hello, people -- let me say something about that kind of mooching with food and what my take on that is here. My m-i-l apparently thinks that I have enough "Bad upbringing" or some horse shit to that effect to where I would actually leach off of other people. I really hated to bust that woman's bubble on this matter, but my momma did a hell of a lot better job on raising me, because to be perfectly honest, folks. So here's how it works in my household, folks: no extra money for anything else, (not even something extraneous) = no gift for the person or people the party or event is being held for here = no showing up on my end at the party/shower/or whatever it is, (social get-together that requires a gift of some sort from me personally.) It's as simple as that, folks and my hubby and I see eye to eye on this matter as well, by the way.

Of course, my personal favorite has come recently, folks. Apparently some "Concerned cousin" of relation to my hubby and his mother told my m-i-l that I was wearing a "Too short of a skirt" one day that they saw me out in public. My question on this comment is "When did I actually see this nameless accuser in the past few weeks here, people? Also -- did this nameless accuser also manage to realize that the only thing in my closet right now that even remotely resembles a skirt at all is actually a pair of very comfortable tennis shorts??"

My suspicions are as far as that "Too short skirt" is those afore mentioned tennis shorts that I wore in a video while Tony and I were at Mammoth Cave National Park earlier this month. As for that "Too short skirt," people, well if it's "Too short," then why is the damned thing all of the way down to my knees then? It wasn't like I was wearing a micro-mini skirt or something, with my butt cheeks hanging out in the back in that one video. I can honestly say, folks, if you would like to see the video of what I had on that day, if you look here in my blogs, (over in the blog section about Mammoth Cave National Park), I actually have the video from my hubby's account over there in a video montage that should be probably dated on or around June 10, 2009 or so. If you get through all of the videos of me talking about the trip after my hubby and I got home from the trip then watch the videos of the "Heritage Trail," you'll see at least once in all of those videos what I have on, because my hubby shot some of me in those videos and my hubby shows what I have on (or not) from the knees down there. It just amazes the shit out of me to no end how my hubby's cousins are such sophomoric, petty ante, stupid ass liars here, people, especially when it comes to clothing and what people are wearing around here!!

You know what, folks?? In a kind of a twist of former president, Richard Nixon's comment: "I am not a hooker, white trash or a sleaze!!"

Seriously, people -- after I have had an extended conversation over the past 24-48 hours with my hubby, I have "Officially decided to stay away from my hubby's extended family" for the time being, because of the above named, petty, sophomoric horse shit that is mainly caused by my m-i-l bashing me behind my back to a certain couple of cousins (or 3) that the woman is related to on her late mother's side of the family. One thing that I am 100% certain on though, folks -- if and I mean if I ever manage to drag the names of who my m-i-l has been talking to about me behind my back in a negative way, I am going to be looking those people up and having an extended (a very extended) conversation with those nameless, two-faced back biters and set them straight on a few things in person, namely about how, thanks to them, my m-i-l has truly knocked herself out of getting to spend any kind of time down the road with my hubby and any potential grandchildren my hubby and I might have, (not that I'm pregnant right now, trust me!!) Besides, I think that what will hurt my m-i-l the worst is finding out from my parents, (and not for either my hubby or myself) that my m-i-l has become a grandmother, only to know that she's never going to get to see or physically be with those children ever, if the woman becomes estranged from my hubby, (who is, incidentally the woman's only child.)

Any way, people, I have had enough ranting about the fashion police wanna-be's here, who are sophomoric, two-faced brats here, (including my m-i-l!!) I also wanted to talk about the fact that I only went to one graduation party and really, that's all I really felt like going to, (although it's nothing against those 3 boys, trust me!! I was just too busy dealing with my own life to be able to go to those boys' graduation parties on those 2 weekends here, folks, as I mentioned above!!) I know that the parents of my one cousin were happy that I even remembered the boy at all, because they said so to my face (and in person) on June 20, when I saw them at my other cousin's party that same day. I hope that you all had a great father's day on June 21 and I will talk to you all again in a blog some time soon!!

Article about "Frugal Millionares" That I spotted on yahoo.com today

How to Spend Like a Frugal Millionaire

by Kimberly Palmer

On Wednesday May 27, 2009, 10:04 am EDT

Today's guest post comes from Jeff Lehman, author of The Frugal Millionaires.

Saving thousands while still spending.

Millionaires make up just 2 percent of the population. They get a bad rap during recessions for being wasteful with their money and are frequently used as examples of excess. It's the millionaires that you don't see that you can learn from in times like these. I call them the frugal millionaires and interviewed 70 of them to uncover ways we can all be smarter with money.

Nearly 70 percent of the economy is based on consumer spending. To keep the economy going we need to keep spending but not waste money in the process. This is where the frugal millionaires come in. They've been smart with their money all along and haven't lost it all and had to remake it. These are the kind of people you want to learn from when it comes to spending your money.

Spending philosophy.

Frugal millionaires are unique thinkers when it comes to spending money: 1) they can easily delay their need for gratification when purchasing; 2) they are resourceful in getting what they want by carefully timing their consumer purchases; 3) they make living below their means painless; 4) they don't like wasting anything (especially money); 5) their sense of "self-entitlement" is highly minimized: and 6) spending is OK with them...depending on what they are buying (think: appreciating vs. depreciating assets).

[For more, see, "10 Secrets of Millionaires' Money Management."]

Buying tips.

These millionaires keep more money than they spend, that's why they are rich. Their tactics work for them so they'll work even better for you. Key Point: They don't view shopping as a sport. They shop efficiently and spend their time doing more important things with their lives. Here are their tips that will help you save while spending:

Cars: Buy used (or off lease) fuel-efficient cars, often with "certified pre-owned" warranties. This warranty can be better than a new car, plus the initial depreciation hit is avoided. Drive the car for a long time and never lease it.

Eating Out: Bring half of a meal home to eat later (this also saves the waistline). Eat at happy hours. Bring wine from home and skip dessert. Value food quality over expensive ambience.

Eating In: Eat better and less expensively by cooking at home. Make it a friends and family event. Get your kids involved. Bonus: You can have that extra drink without worrying about getting busted for driving under the influence. Also: buy day-old bread at the best bakery in town and freeze it. Eat oatmeal, because it's the most cost-effective breakfast food. Get a supermarket "club card" and buy food on special. Play the game of trying to see how much of a discount can be saved off the total food bill.

Clothes: When you buy something new donate something used to charity. Buy traditional clothes, but wait for the off-season to acquire them. Go for high quality - not high price. Buy vintage clothing and avoid logo clothing and keep people guessing who the designer might be. Hint: There shouldn't be one!

[For more, read: "Juggling Your Money in the Recession."]

Consumer Electronics: Buy low-end gear that has the basic functionality of the more expensive stuff. Don't be the first to buy new technology. Wait at least one lifecycle so the bugs are worked out. Buy refurbished electronics whenever possible.

Computers: Buy more mainstream computers with proven technology. Select higher capacity hard drives, a decent amount of RAM (the memory that the program runs in) and a cost effective processor. Super fast doesn't always equal super good...unless you are building airplanes or bridges. Laptops are a good compromise between desktops and netbooks. Don't go through the pain of upgrading operating systems on existing computers, it's not time efficient and you will probably go insane trying.

Going green: Being green and frugal go hand-in-hand. Yet frugal millionaires don't readily fall for the trendy green hype machine. They typically buy green if it helps the environment and lowers their costs. They look at the timeframe when a product can pay for itself. They do use compact fluorescent lighting, turn off lights and equipment that isn't being used, monitor AC and heat usage (with programmable thermostats), drive efficiently, live in "right-sized" homes and turn off the water when they aren't brushing their teeth or washing dishes. Because they have trained themselves to not waste money they won't waste anything else either. They get into good habits and keep them going. You can, too.
