Video: Black Woman Throws Acid in White Woman’s Face

This incident is bizarre to say the least.  A woman, Bethany Storro, 28 had just moved to Vancouver, Wash., from Idaho for a new job and a fresh start according to MSNBC.  She went to the shopping mall to pick up a fresh pair of shades when, allegedly, a black woman walked up to her and said, “Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?” (more…)

Video: Woman Pursues Boyfriend Dies in His Chimney

Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, found dead in estranged boyfriend's chimney.

You might think that the woman in this story is not too bright, but she was a doctor...an internist.  But, don't let anyone convince you that book knowledge trumps common sense.  The woman in question, Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, was in a bumpy relationship with a guy who was, obviously, trying to avoid her. 

She was relentlessly pursuing the man to get a little face time maybe to get the last word in the last argument...who knows?!  (more...)

Jokey Joke (Video): Monkey Drinking His Own Pee?

I had to look at this video a couple times to be sure I was seeing what I was seeing, but it is definitely a video of a monkey peeing in his own mouth.  Disgusting?? YES! Indubitably, but I just couldn’t believe it. 

He’s obviously in a zoo and someone is filming him.  In nature shows and/or scientific observations of monkeys, I’ve never seen anything like this and how or why they would think it necessary that they do this. I do not want to believe that this monkey has made this up as a way to entertain his “public.”

Awful! Yuck! But you know you wanna see: (more…)

Oh my Lord! Can you imagine! She made a complaint and was definitely taught a lesson. (more…)

Walmart Meets Its Match: Dollar/99 Cents Stores

*The 99 Cents stores are the business; this is where the discount shopper really lives. BNet recently reported that the Dollar Tree stores and 99 Cents Only stores are putting up a substantial fight against discount bosses like WalMart.

 Since earlier this year, big bargain stores have been pushing hard to entice low income shoppers, but they seem to be struggling to keep the interest of consumers  as smaller places give them a run for their money.

The great thing about the dollar stores is that new merchandise is always coming in. You also always know how far your dollar will stretch, hence the name of the stores. Maybe you can’t find an iPod at the 99 Cents store, but you can go grocery shopping on a $5 budget and feed a family for a day — at least. (more…)

‘Can I Get Yo’… Facebook?

*The other day, I was in the store and a man started a conversation with me. At the end of the talk, he asked not for my phone number, but for my Facebook name.

At first I was a bit taken aback, not offended (he wasn’t cute), but surprised and a bit relieved to tell you the truth. But that’s not the point.

The point is, he and so many other people I’ve noticed, would much rather have your Facebook info than your phone number. Perhaps this is a safety measure that may turn out for the better for some people.

They say the phone number is a dying invention, the one that used to unlock the key to hearts, make nights better, and maybe even days worse (with the bill collectors calling). Online media social networking sites are the trendiest way to communicate with people, get to know them. (more…)
