Is Studio 60 cancelled?

by

In a post I wrote the other day I mentioned that I was sick and tired of all the shows being in re-run. I happened to say that Studio 60 hasn’t been on for a while and one of my visitors said that she thought the show had been canceled. Another said it was on hiatus.

Well … is it canceled or not?

I did a Google search to find out but it seems to be more of a rumor than a definite fact at this time.

My husband and I both really enjoy Studio 60, and it’s one show that we can watch together since we both like it. Yeah, it could probably use a few tweaks here and there to make it an even better show, but compared to many that came out last fall I think this is one of the better shows.

Does anyone else want to see Studio 60 return?





Side effects of Hoodia?

by

I’m sure you’ve heard of Hoodia? It’s commonly used as a weight loss product. I’m wondering if any of my readers have tried Hoodia? If you have, what do you think? Have you lost weight? Has it worked for you?

I just visited the Hoodia gordonii Guide too see if there were any known Hoodia side effects and apparently there are none. Other weight loss products that contain stimulants such as ephedra can cause your heart to race and have been known to cause some very serious side effects, however as far as I can find there hasn’t been any serious side effects noted with the use of Hoodia.

Apparently you can get headaches and or become irritable when first using Hoodia, but that might just be the result of changes exercise levels or some of the side effects of starting to loose weight. In fact, changing your diet to eliminate empty carbs and excess sugars might give you headaches and make you irritable. This might be somewhat like withdrawl since your body must adjust to the change in diet.

If you are thinking of using Hoodia as a weight loss aid you might be interested in reading the Hoodia gordonii Guide to learn more about this natural weight loss product.

I should never make plans

by

Nothing seems to have gone as planned this weekend. In many ways that’s a bad thing, but in one aspect it turned out well.

The weather was actually fairly nice this weekend, although not as nice as it will be for most of the week. I’d been hoping to get out into the garden to clean it up a little bit and perhaps plant the bulbs that I purchased last fall and never got around to planting. Most of the bulbs survived but I’ve gotta plant them soon! I’d also hope to go out for a walk or two – maybe down to the beach that I showed you on Saturday.

Unfortunately I’ve continued to feel absolutely rotten all weekend. Not only has my stomach/abdomen continued to act up but on Saturday I woke up with an extremely sore throat, sore neck and sore knees. My shoulder joined the list on Sunday.

It’s my stomach that feel the worst thought. Sometimes I just wish I could reach into my abdomen and pull out the painful parts. Yeah I know that probably wouldn’t help, but it sure seems like a good idea when the pain is really bad.

The one good thing that happened over the weekend is that I managed to make a fair amount of money on Sunday. As you probably know I make most of my income off the internet … well all of it actually. Now while my ads continue to bring in some money each day, I usually don’t make much money from the other services that I use on the weekends. I did work for three different services that I work with on various sites that I own and made the most money in one day that I think I’ve ever made.

At least if I continue to feel ill this week, or end up feeling even worse, I know I made some money that I hadn’t been expecting to make over the weekend so if I need to take a day or two off I guess I can.

I just want to feel better though. The weather is starting to get so much nicer and I’d like to get outside. Even if I don’t manage to do much outside it would still be nice to maybe sit on my porch or wander through my garden for a short while.

Ashley Tisdale – Live chat on the Cartoon Doll Emporium

by

Any parents reading this site should take note that pop princess and Disney Star Ashley Tisdale will be appearing on the Cartoon Doll Emporium’s chat forum for a live discussion on April 2nd between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. EST. Your kids will absolutely adore you if you tell them about Ashley’s special appearance.

Actually this week on the Cartoon Doll Emporium there will be a contest. Ashley Tisdale fans can submit questions for Ashley. The best questions will be chosen and given to Ashley to answer during her online live chat session. The fans names will be mentioned when their questions are asked too.

If you still aren’t quite sure who Ashley Tisdale is, she stars in Disney’s “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and the movie “High School Musical”. She’ll also appear in the the sequel to High School Musical – High School Musical 2 when it’s released later this year.

I actually really like the Cartoon Doll Emporium. It’s one of those dress up games sites where you can create different dolls by dressing them up in different outfits and using different accessories for them. Kids love to spend time on sites like the Cartoon Doll Emporium and many adults do too as it’s a great place to create new avatars for online chats and forums.

You’ll find over 650 dress up games on the site. You’ll also be able to play arcade games, participate in quizzes too. There’s even a music section and a “cuteness” section.

Check out the site for your own use, and don’t forget to tell your child about Ashley Tisdale’s live chat and the question contest. I’m sure you’ll get good parent points if you do!

Advantages of becoming a top commenter on this site

by

In an earlier post I was telling you that I’ve been working on our sites and that I’ve added a few new WordPress plugins as well.

One of the new plugins is one that allows me to show who my top commentators are in my right side bar.

See that area below Recent Comments? Yep, that’s where my top commentators for each month will be show. I can change that to daily, weekly, monthly or yearly top commentators if I want. Right now it’s set to monthly but I might change it to yearly.

One thing that I like about this new plug in is that it gives my top commentators a real link. There is no rel no follow tag added to the link, so Google can pick up the link. This might help you, my visitors and those making comments, build your sites Page Rank. So it’s in your best interest to leave comments on this site and work towards becoming the top commentator each month.
