While Obama did not actually say &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;'go back to fucking school'&lt;/span&gt; that indeed has become the mantra of many families. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the male counterparts of these stay at home moms the mantra is far different. Struggling through this recession has caused many men to feel that 'fuck me' mentality, which in turn has become the leading cause of what many predict to be the biggest baby boom in years.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-147490507416948111?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/147490507416948111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=147490507416948111' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/147490507416948111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/147490507416948111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2009/09/baby-boom-related-to-presidents.html' title='Baby Boom Related To Presidents Comments'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-1228158269667165223</id><published>2009-06-04T13:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-12-05T04:30:59.362-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Times Getting Tougher</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;Consumers are always on the lookout for a good deal these days because the economy has tanked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Economists fear this trend will continue long into the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Researchers however&amp;nbsp;have found, that when times get like this people will give up just about anything but their social life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Retailers are reaching out to their buyers with new impactfull tactics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Sigroeq3zII/AAAAAAAAAPk/zlMnQCcAjts/s1600-h/blog+picture.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343568932302736514" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Sigroeq3zII/AAAAAAAAAPk/zlMnQCcAjts/s320/blog+picture.jpg" style="cursor: hand;

"The house may go but I know that I'll still be alive and kicking."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new data supports this after lengthy testing on human blood. The fire retardant chemical polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDE's, has been used in the manufacturing of furniture, bedding and clothes for more than thirty years. It enters the blood stream through the skin and through inhalation in the form of dust particles. Californians have twice the level in their blood than any other state in the U.S., and their homes have ten times that amount. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is believed that many residents will rest easy knowing that they will not spontaneously combust if they drop a cigarette on their lap or run through a wild fire.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-6601421205551089709?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/6601421205551089709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=6601421205551089709' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/6601421205551089709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/6601421205551089709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2008/10/humans-have-ability-to-stave-off-fire.html' title='California Residents Most Retarded'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SOjaedFMjTI/AAAAAAAAAJU/EsEBH3lmdi8/s72-c/images.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-7551190841302252967</id><published>2008-10-04T06:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T13:31:29.159-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Melamine Issue Heats Up</title><content type='html'>There is both good and bad news regarding the MELAMINE poisoning that has ripped through the headlines over the past few years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Food and Drug Administration has released a new report that confirms that consumers will only be ingesting a few particles at a time if they eat products containing the resin base material. The report also stated that there are 'safe levels' that can be ingested by nearly everyone. The bad news is that, depending on the size of your digestive tract, it can also kill you especially if you are an infant.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was only discovered after more than 50,000 babies in China were stricken by acute kidney failure after drinking Melamine laced baby formula. Several infants reportedly died because their small tiny bodies could not digest the chemical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese manufacturers, known for their technological advances and money saving tactics, challenged that theory first by poisoning dogs and cats in early 2007 by adding the nitrogen-rich chemical to pet food. Their secret may have gone unnoticed had pets instinctively snubbed the tainted food, but that is not the case. Instead pets trusted their owners to know that the food they were serving them would keep them healthy and fit, not lead them to kidney related ailments and/or death. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course manufactures, who are usually creatures of habit, have gone even further by adding the chemical to candy just in time for Halloween, and pretzels just in time for the holidays. The list is endless it appears [click on headline for a list of more tainted products] so consumers should be wary of anything that melts in your mouth but not in your hands. This is a clear sign that it takes heat to break down the chemical in Melamine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though the news is bad there is one more upside for those who have ingested more than they can handle. When a person dies from an illness related to Melamine poisoning they can choose to remain with their family after opting for cremation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One option is to have the ashes reformulated for use in the kitchen. Mortuary designers can turn anyone's contaminated ashes into laminate counter tops &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SOd9ZsZrSzI/AAAAAAAAAJM/o7d0Rj6amwk/s1600-h/D3_3_2_corian_117x117.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

and whether or not they will feel the impact of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you are sitting in front of a television or listening to the radio, you may be out of the loop, but technology experts are now working feverishly to bring the &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20070515/ts_csm/atexting;_ylt=ApA6OiaYEoh50Wp6Fj7jVIHMWM0F"&gt;cell phone emergency alert system&lt;/A&gt; to life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The technology has been around for nearly a decade, according to reports, but was never implemented because it would have required a large financial investment on the part of cellular manufacturers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since land lines are becoming more and more obsolete and natural disasters are becoming more frequent, government officials say the time has come to use some of the excessive cellular overcharges to finance the endevor to save lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Messages will be sent directly to cell phone users telling them what is going on and what they should do to get out of harms way. For those not  familiar with how these look on screen, the following is an example of what to expect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/RknH4wMqm5I/AAAAAAAAAD0/ArdNZBprUT4/s1600-h/run.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/RknH4wMqm5I/AAAAAAAAAD0/ArdNZBprUT4/s200/run.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064799033779461010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will see this message if there is still time to beat a hasty escape from disasters such as fires, oncoming flood waters or predicted hurricanes. There is a distinct possibility that you will survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/RknH4wMqm4I/AAAAAAAAADs/1z59OWOCjPs/s1600-h/duck.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/RknH4wMqm4I/AAAAAAAAADs/1z59OWOCjPs/s200/duck.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064799033779460994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This you will see if you didn't get the first message. Usually it is too late to find your car keys or other escape vehicle so it is best if you keep a close eye on things that may have become dangerously airborn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/RknH4QMqm3I/AAAAAAAAADk/ftWsMq792xs/s1600-h/cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/RknH4QMqm3I/AAAAAAAAADk/ftWsMq792xs/s200/cover.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064799025189526386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means you have definitly not been paying attention because your cell phone is not on or has been set to vibrate and is in the bottom of your purse or forgotten on your dresser. You are likely to sustain injuries if not protected by hiding under something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/RknH4QMqm2I/AAAAAAAAADc/lTLVzpor_Qw/s1600-h/kiss+your+ass+goodbye.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

"All hell broke loose when we got it home. My wife and I have even had to change our nightime potty habits because he attacked me on the way to the bathroom the second night we had him."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The notorious feline, known to attack even when unprovoked, has been arrested and will serve time in a regional rehab facility called the Litter Critter Box. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not the cats first run in with the law, according to authorities. The eight-year-old, declawed, black cat  who goes by the alias 'Shadow' will once again be cell mates with his partner in crime Fluffy, a four and a half pound mutt known for his evil temper and sneaky ways. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Rj-bZgMqmxI/AAAAAAAAAC0/8hXxmXlnBj8/s1600-h/fluffy.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Rj-bZgMqmxI/AAAAAAAAAC0/8hXxmXlnBj8/s200/fluffy.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061935368629820178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These two have been seen lurking in dark alleyways throughout the community during a furlough from ownership or captivity, and have been video taped terrorizing unsuspecting humans and pets over the past several years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not known at this time when either will be released and to whom they will be released, but authorities have posted public warnings throughout the entire community.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-6054206268152136393?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070504/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_cat;_ylt=AnFGGOQ2yCmCehv7lR04.D_tiBIF' title='Pussy Delays Mail'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/6054206268152136393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=6054206268152136393' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/6054206268152136393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/6054206268152136393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/05/pussy-delays-mail.html' title='Pussy Delays Mail'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Rj__cgMqmyI/AAAAAAAAAC8/9Yu283yAhhg/s72-c/blac+cat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-4243034533069010256</id><published>2007-05-04T05:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-04T05:57:06.804-07:00</updated><title type='text'>VIAGRA  -  Just A Hop, Skip, Jump Away</title><content type='html'>A local peruvian shop keeper has found a way around the high cost of sexual stimulant medications such as Viagra. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her secret recipe is raising more than eyebrows these days and at less than a buck for one of her milkshake-like aphrodisiac drinks, many consumers are becoming repeat customers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said acquiring a taste for &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070504/ap_on_fe_st/odd_peru_frog_juice;_ylt=AnF3IrIPBKAux6TtiiQ.7w3tiBIF"&gt;frog juice&lt;/A&gt;, her secret ingredient, is not that easy but once you feel the effects from this strange brew it's an easy pill to swallow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sometimes, because the drink is quite thick it can choke you a little and you're stuck with a stiff neck all day, but for most people it's fairly easy to digest," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The common frog has been very overlooked throughout history because of its appearance and its slime factor, but its popularity is growing as people search for a more homeopathic way to solve medical issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One woman who surprised her husband with a very large trained bullfrog for his birthday, said she chose this particular gift as a last resort because her husbands sexual appetite had increased exponentially over the past several years leaving her constantly exhausted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What made this inexpensive gift so appealing is that the clerk promised me that the frog had been trained to give blow jobs," she said. "I was looking for a way to take some of the pressure off myself."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened next however, came as a big surprise to the woman who is now in the process of divorce proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I just didn't see this coming," she said.

"We've also seen a sharp rise in health care costs for people who are injured when they hit one of these large animals."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The seperate roadways are open 10 months of the year and

type='text'>"Take It All Bitch" Term Removed From Dictionary</title><content type='html'>American women tired of getting the short end of the stick, have been flocking to Longshuihu village in the Shuangqiao district of Chongqing in Beijing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not the food, nor the beautiful surroundings that are drawing them to what is being hailed as the world's first "Womens Town", it's the power over men they find so appealing as well as the towns motto  "women never make mistakes, and men can never refuse women's requests."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One female employee from New York who had become so disenchanted with her loud mouth demanding male boss was one of the first U.S. citizens to arrive in Women's Town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't have to take this shit anymore and I can kick ass any time I want if a man steps over his boundaries or gets out of line and feel really good about it because it's part of my new job description."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women that have often been kept down a few rungs on the ladder to success are finding 'legal dominance' puts them smack dab at the top of the food chain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The fact that we're in control and can punish a man for not paying the right kind of attention to us, for making bad gift choices, or making lame comments to us, is really quite satisfying," said another woman who recently went through an upsetting divorce. "Even though we have such places in America where women dominate men like they do at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonlite_Bunny_Ranch"&gt;Moonlite Bunny Ranch&lt;/A&gt; in Nevada, there's more pleasure here because it does not always come down to sex, although that's not a bad thing because the sex is somehow more gratifying when you're getting what you need."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of the women making the long journey are fed up with the American mentality of 'doing it all' and find this new lifestyle quite appealing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another women in her early 40's said that she'd grown weary of the looks she's recently been getting from her male partner. Having not aged all that gracefully she found that daily life had begun to chip away at her self-esteem and she was ready for a positive change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If I frickin want to walk around in my moo-moo, a cigarette hanging out of my mouth and curlers in my hair without someone making some kind of snide comment, this is the place to do it because I can get immediate satisfaction by punishing the deed the moment their mouth opens."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is expected that thousands of American women will make their exodus to Beijing in the next few months and that places like this will become more common place around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many are predicting that should we see a women take the President's spot, this trend will sustain rapid growth in a very short period of time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-6284998671582768434?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070426/od_nm/china_womentown_odd_dc;_ylt=AhfKmLxHoTarSU4QCfnfEUPtiBIF' title='&quot;Take It All Bitch&quot; Term Removed From Dictionary'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/6284998671582768434/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=6284998671582768434' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/6284998671582768434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/6284998671582768434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/04/take-it-all-bitch-term-removed-from.html' title='&quot;Take It All Bitch&quot; Term Removed From Dictionary'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-4856489085486252135</id><published>2007-04-27T04:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-27T21:03:55.908-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hog Heaven: Be Careful What You Wish For</title><content type='html'>The smell of bacon sizzling on the stove these days may give consumers reason to pause after the government released information about what these hogs have been feeding on recently-recalled pet food that contains the chemical Melamine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than 6,000 hogs across the United States have been fed a steady diet of this tainted food since the re-call and some officals believe it has now bled over to several poultry farms as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our first clue that the chickens were becoming infected was when we discovered we couldn't break the shells on the eggs they were laying," said one farmer who agreed to take on the bad food in order to save a little money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melamine, used commonly for producing whiteboards, floor tiles, kitchenware, fire retardant fabrics, and commercial filters makes it the perfect chemical for industrial applications so it's no wonder many are asking the same question-why is it being put into pet food and why are they introducing it into the human food chain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recent recall has left most pet food isles at many markets nearly barren and many pet owners have resorted to making their own food. This has also had a major impact on senior citizens whose pensions and medicare benefits suffered major cuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An unidentified spokesman for one local manufacturer has tried to defend their position on why this additive seemed like a good idea at the time. He said it was done in hopes of making animals stronger and more durable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If it doesn't kill them, it can only make them stronger," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this information does not bode well with informed consumers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are they fucking nuts" was a comment that rung out loudly across the nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The affects are already being seen across the U.S. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In California this week one unsuspecting family  had to be hospitalized recently after experiencing unusual bowel movements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Last weekend our family had a pork loin roast for Sunday dinner," said the father who wished to remain anonymous. "It seemed to hit me the worst. Four hours after we finished eating I felt something odd happening in my stomach and went to the bathroom. Well, when I looked into the bowl afterwards I saw all these little brownish tupperware like containers floating around."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little is know about the long term affects of injesting Melamine but one thing is certain, if you consume it on a regular basis you'll no longer have to fear stray rays from microwaves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's the upside of this bizarre chemical scare," said an official from the Center Of Disease Oddities.

"A dog wags his tail to the left when it's apprehensive about what it sees, much like a mans penis, which when put into an uncomfortable situation will usually shrink up into the body cavity much like a frightened turtle."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comparison further proves that when put into a pleasant situation such as having your belly rubbed, or running around with a beautiful bitch, the tail shifts towards the right side much like a man's penis does when he is so moved by something it will harden and stand at attention, he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working on the theory of 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander' one drug company who already mass produces anti-depressants for humans has found a new cash-cow and has begun mass producing Prozac for dogs of all shapes and sizes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beef-flavored chewable tablet will be called 'Reconcile' and promises to move your dog through any  emotional crisis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We decided to release this new product now to seize the moment so to speak," said a representative from the firm. "Timing is everything and because of recent pet food recalls we know that many animals are honing in on their owners anxiety when it comes to meal time. Taking advantage of a consumer who will spent enormous amounts of money on keeping their pet healthy is a sure thing for us and we expect to make millions on this."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-8485205649193274304?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070425/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_lilly;_ylt=An.3zii2AAuMfd84nh3vV8rtiBIF' title='Drug Makers Find New Niche'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/8485205649193274304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=8485205649193274304' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/8485205649193274304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/8485205649193274304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/04/drug-makers-find-new-niche.html' title='Drug Makers Find New Niche'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-4071087657516303723</id><published>2007-04-25T17:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-26T07:05:08.870-07:00</updated><title type='text'>PSA (Not for pay)</title><content type='html'>Every day a child goes missing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do your part and sign up for &lt;a href="http://wirelessamberalerts.adcouncil.org/howwirelessamberalertswork.htm"&gt;Free Wireless Amber Alerts Sent Directly To Your Cell Phone&lt;/A&gt;.

"We're spending more and more of our efforts trying to determine whether or not we can make it environmentally friendly again." &lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Ri9A5QMqmrI/AAAAAAAAACA/0EQIJ63KzFA/s1600-h/earth.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Ri9A5QMqmrI/AAAAAAAAACA/0EQIJ63KzFA/s200/earth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057332258905168562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Researchers have spent millions of dollars and hours over the last few decades trying to determin how the onset of destruction occured and how it will affect the planet over the next several decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to reports, there was a time when the ozone layer completely sealed the environment, somewhat like when you zip up a baggie to keep things fresh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say that the onset of certain gases that poison the air is the result of industry and technology, which was quickly advanced after the discovery of the wheel. This single factor has changed nearly every aspect of possible life on the planet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is believed that the dicovery of automobiles not only changed the surface appearance of the planet, it created much of the mental illnesses that caused the human demise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We think people just drove themselves crazy, literally until they just couldn't take it anymore," said a researcher in California. "As new vehicles were created, getting larger and larger, the whole planet became a gridlock and industry had a hard time keeping up with the demand for resources such as oil."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New research is expected to be released next year and will determin whether or not the planets atmosphere will improve after governmental changes take place.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-4925697371212462535?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070425/ap_on_sc/habitable_planet' title='Planet May Become Inhabitable'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/4925697371212462535/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=4925697371212462535' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/4925697371212462535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/4925697371212462535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/04/planet-may-become-inhabitable.html' title='Planet May Become Inhabitable'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/Ri9A5QMqmrI/AAAAAAAAACA/0EQIJ63KzFA/s72-c/earth.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-8025028075946907348</id><published>2007-04-24T09:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-24T14:11:25.149-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pot Raids Continue To Baffle Culinary Experts</title><content type='html'>Local police have been stirring the pot so to speak over the past month in and around Los Angeles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/los_angeles_metro/la-me-pothouse18apr18,1,2783963.story?track=rss"&gt;Dozens of raids&lt;/A&gt; perpetrated by law enforcement have netted thousands of seedlings whose street value is estimated upwards in the millions of dollars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is just something that we can no longer tolerate," said one city official. "We feel that it's only a matter of time before these illegal growers will step up to the plate and turn over a piece of their profit, however, until such time, we will continue to bust them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many chef's around town feel this is unfair. The consensus is that the government has no say in how or when they grown their own pot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It takes eons for these tiny little aluminum or steel seedlings to take root and we have no other option except to grow them inside near the kitchen where we can monitor and care for them," said one chef who was irate because it has forced him and many other local cooks to stir fry everything in old woks. "It's not our fault that China has had a glutton fest on all our steel resources. We feel we've been forced underground to the point where we must conduct our business in a covert manor." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to statistics, it takes a little over nine months for a seed to mature into a full grown pot. The process is extremely tedious, especially for those particular pots that must undergo a copper graft on the bottom to protect the contents from excessive heat, according to one source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Union officials say they are in talks with many of their culinary members who are ready to dish up their own heat until police back off and the city stands down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Restaurant patrons are also feeling the brunt of the pot raids. They say that no matter what they order, if it's cooked in a wok it tastes like Chinese food regardless of whether it's a steak or a loin chop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I feel I'm being pressured to feed myself using chop sticks in order not to offend the chef," said one customer who at last resorted to the children's chopsticks which are easier to use. "I can only hope that the government will see fit to leave these pot growers alone so we can eat in peace."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-8025028075946907348?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/8025028075946907348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=8025028075946907348' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/8025028075946907348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/8025028075946907348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/04/pot-raids-continue-to-baffle-culinary.html' title='Pot Raids Continue To Baffle Culinary Experts'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-7943621407078142658</id><published>2007-04-21T21:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-21T21:36:09.340-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Saturday Update</title><content type='html'>For any of you following my backyard project, you can see what I've been up to over the past week in the right hand side bar in the second photoshow.

type='text'>Fat Is Not Phat Anymore</title><content type='html'>With so many people suffering ailments such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and respiratory related illnesses due to obesity, it seems rather unfathomable that certain cultures would choose massive weight gains as a symbol of beauty, health and wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For centuries in &lt;a href="http://lexicorient.com/e.o/nouakcht.htm"&gt;Mauritania&lt;/A&gt;, women have been force fed camels milk and high caloric foods from an early age in hopes that they will be fat enough to be worthy of a good husband and recognizable status. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One man, whose 200 pound wife began walking to try to shed some pounds, was quoted as saying that "if she did lose the weight he would divorce her". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But government officials, now seeing the devastating results associated with obesity, are growing concerned and have launched a campaign through television and radio to entice more and more women to become slimmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Music and lyrics have always described the ideal woman as fat so we are asking songwriters to help us reverse this by writing lyrics to promote better eating habits and shedding pounds," said one official.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One lyricists so far has come up with a rather catchy tune that the government has said will launch the campaign early next month. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The song goes like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your fat ass off the couch&lt;br /&gt;My beautiful one&lt;br /&gt;Get your ass to the gym&lt;br /&gt;And yes...have some fun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your clothes they are splitting&lt;br /&gt;Each time you bend down&lt;br /&gt;On my face you will now see&lt;br /&gt;The hint of a frown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your skin as it hangs&lt;br /&gt;Under the light of the moon&lt;br /&gt;Makes my balls curl right up&lt;br /&gt;Like a tiny

tight&lt;br /&gt;As the food passes by&lt;br /&gt;Curl and crunch&lt;br /&gt;And work on your thighs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do a few lunges&lt;br /&gt;And feel muscles burn&lt;br /&gt;For all of this work&lt;br /&gt;My love you will earn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will buy you tight clothes&lt;br /&gt;And jewels you can don&lt;br /&gt;I will love you much more &lt;br /&gt;When your flubber is

term='stupidity'/><title type='text'>Counsellors Urged To Support Weapons Bearers</title><content type='html'>New research finds that children who bring weapons to school need counseling not expulsion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study shows that too many students are being sent home or kicked out of school due to the fact that they cannot fight the urge to bring their guns, knives or other weapons to school to prove just how 'bad' they are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canadian officials admit that the Ontario Safe Schools Act is not working as expected because they're losing way too much funding. For every day a student is absent the school loses between $30 - $50. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's a shame to expell these kids just because they've got a gun tucked into the waistband of their pants," said one official. "If they feel they need this kind of security while on campus, then we say 'why the hell not let everyone bring a gun to school' then at least the playing field will be even."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Citing that this law, under the guise of 'Zero Tolerence', seems to specifically target minorities, school officials are now demanding that the goverment should mind it's own business when it comes to matters that concern educating the children of Canada, according to the Ontario Human Rights Commission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their plan, which some feel may just work, is to provide every non-minority student with a weapon of similar power to the Latino, Black, or otherwise 'not white' students, as a means to "intercede in the interest of peace" between racial divides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Zero tolerance just doesn't work," said a spokesman for the education department. "We've decided to take matters into our own hands and spend the money we would otherwise lose by a students absence on bullet proof vests for all teachers, counselors and other school staff."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new plan includes spending an enormous amount of money on training school employees in the art of negotiating a weapons standoff between students or faculty using the same methods the local police use. They will also be trained in hand-to-hand combat when students decide that they will only use their weapons as a last resort if they cannot work things out in a bloody brawl on campus.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-5157534330513973258?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=hamilton/Layout/Article_Type1&amp;c=Article&amp;cid=1176524988170&amp;call_pageid=1020420665036&amp;col=1112101662670' title='Counsellors Urged To Support Weapons Bearers'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/5157534330513973258/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=5157534330513973258' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/5157534330513973258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/5157534330513973258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/04/counsellors-urged-to-support-weapons.html' title='Counsellors Urged To Support Weapons Bearers'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-6482348269095518917</id><published>2007-04-10T08:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T08:28:50.597-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Robber Didn't Have Leg To Stand On</title><content type='html'>Gregory Daniels, 48, was arrested earlier today after robbing a market in Pomona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police say he and an accomplice pulled the stores ATM out of the floor using a chain and their pick up truck.

I guess I'm just suffering from humor deprivation or something. Can't quite put my finger on it but maybe it's time to switch formats as I had planned on some time ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am currently learning how to edit live footage on my computer because I would like to begin a series of live broadcasts. Perhaps this has zapped my quick wit at crazy news or I've just gotten completely lazy, your guess is as good as mine at this point. I have so many half finished stories in my draft cache that it is mind boggling why I can't just commit to finishing one or two. Burn out.. maybe or a change is coming! Guess you'll all have to stay tuned to find out what happens in this continuing saga of blogitis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, instead I will plug my hubby's new album that will be released at the end of the month. "White Sand" has a great supply of guest artists such as Al Jareau and Bobby Caldwell. If anyone who lives in LA or in the vicinity of Long Beach is interested, the record release party will be on March 1 at The Vault in Long Beach.

This virus will wipe out your private life completely. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you should come into contact with WORK, virus control experts suggest you take two good friends to the nearest grocery store where you can purchase the antidote known as 'Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract' (WINE) or 'Bothersome-Employer- Elimination-Rebooter' (BEER). The suggested dosage is to take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should forward this warning to 5 friends.

"What they should be putting out there are inexpensive memberships to health clubs rather than filling people will false hope that the pounds will just melt away by popping a pill."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those putting their trust in these drugs, officials say that users should be cautious because when you block fat from being absorbed into your stomach, you are likely going to crap your brains out or experience some kind of gastrointestinal problems. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One researcher who opposes the FDA's approval of this pill said if a good crap is all you need to lose weight then he suggests finding a local Mexican restaurant within walking distance and enjoying a good bowl of refried beans rather than taking a chance on developing pre-cancerous lesion on your colon. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4316/1737/1600/482369/refried%20beans.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4316/1737/200/196030/refried%20beans.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This we know is a proven fact and the only side affect may be a little sweating during discharge quickly followed by a sense of colonic relief," he said.

"It's always something!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;State lawmakers have been tossing around several options to offer farmers who, themselves, are fed up with the agricultural restrictions put upon them since the death of three people last year and the sickening of nearly 200 others across the nation who had eaten some of the tainted produce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We want to give them an easy out and feel that by offering them job training in other fields so to speak, we will serve not only those looking for a change but will save the state from any more embarrassing moments," the official said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of digging around in the dirt many farmers are choosing one of the most interesting options being offered that will have others 'digging  them while being dirty'. In a first ever agreement, one of the largest all male performance companies, Ship N' Nails have agreed to hire and train more than 1,000 farmers to join their team as part of their global expansion plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although many who chose this new path over option B,  to enlist or re-enlist in the service and be on the governments tab, or option C, to become campaigne workers during the upcoming 2008 elections, most say they are not all that worried that the bulk of their day will be spent showing off their zucchini and brussel spouts to screaming sweating patrons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For the most part it will be difficult taking a cut in pay but I hope to make up for that in tips," said one farmer who feels that his years of toiling in the dirt have kept him in pretty good shape. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As to health regulations, those participating in this innovative new career choice said they are well versed in health inspectors hanging around constantly because their crops were always being fouled by wild pigs or fat cows so being tested for bodily bacteria will be a walk in the park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For once in my life I can honestly say I am looking forward to a new breed of wild pigs."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-117108733350919974?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070208/ap_on_re_us/e_coli_precautions' title='Farming Ends In California'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/117108733350919974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=117108733350919974' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117108733350919974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117108733350919974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/02/farming-ends-in-california_09.html' title='Farming Ends In California'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-117095833743707323</id><published>2007-02-08T09:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-08T10:16:19.976-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stress Can Alter Lifestyle</title><content type='html'>A newly released study says that stress is not the problem--it's how we handle it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For millions of people the solution is easy thanks to so many generous pill pushing doctors, but for those willing to suffer through the long haul medication free there are definite steps you can take to avoid going over the edge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study suggests that having lots and lots of money can eliminate most peoples problems, even when those stressors involve children. It also suggests that 'having' children is not the problem, it's having children for the rest of your lives that really screws you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pregnancy is often the most joyous time in a new families life but when the realization finally hits that they will be yours until the day you die the stress begins to build," said one researcher. "Anyone who is prone to stress should do as the drug companies say..take two aspirins and keep away from children."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another suggestion is move to warmer climates so that you will not be stuck inside your house 24/7 with your family members. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Unless you have the patience of a saint or a separate wing for unruly tots it is best to live somewhere where you can banish them to the outdoors until they look hungry enough to kill, then you can let them back inside."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also suggests that colder climates trigger stress because of unexpected financial burdens forced on the general public by ever increasing heating and oil bills. Many people manage to save a little extra for a rainy day but most of the time it is absorbed as quickly as it is saved by these ever increasing costs of living. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most important aspects associated with stress is loneliness. If you are not getting any, many people turn to self satisfaction however, if you are not good at this there is the definite possibility that you can inadvertently alienate your own damn self leaving you with no other course but to go out seeking sexual satisfaction with no strings attached.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many experts say there are a multitude of ways in which you can eliminate or avoid stress:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Hoard your money until you are so stinking rich no bill will affect your daily routine.&lt;br /&gt;2. Exercise or if you are stinking rich, have someone else do it for you.&lt;br /&gt;3. Avoid stressors like children, both yours or other peoples. &lt;br /&gt;4. Quit your mundane boring job.&lt;br /&gt;5. Never look too closely in the mirror until after showering or better yet, have all mirrors removed from your dwelling.&lt;br /&gt;6. Have sex on a regular basis, preferably with a partner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see just what stress can do to you, upload a photo and take the age-o-matic test here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.careerbuilder.com/age-o-matic/Default.aspx?siteid=sep_gps_ageomatic&amp;cbRecursionCnt=1&amp;cbsid=df681cdba592438ab8bf484f0ec536c1-224254813-W7-2"&gt;Stress Test&lt;/A&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-117095833743707323?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/117095833743707323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=117095833743707323' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117095833743707323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117095833743707323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/02/stress-can-alter-lifestyle.html' title='Stress Can Alter Lifestyle'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-117088291377946842</id><published>2007-02-07T12:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-07T13:16:36.603-08:00</updated><title type='text'>WTF Is With This Writers Block?</title><content type='html'>Well, here it is Wednesday and not a post as it should be. I guess for the first time in many years I've gotten a case of writers block. YIKES!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't happen often but when it does it brings to mind that we are all just humans, flawed, warted and sometimes so tied up in life that we leave little or no room for our creative sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've saved a spot for everyday I haven't posted with some pretty good story ideas, but each time I started to write something my mind wandered about so I just walked away from the computer and did something else. Ah...the mind of the ADD adult. I had thought writing about what the Pope said, that killing someone, putting them down mercifully to end an otherwise hopeless painfilled life was wrong and I had to ask myself if each time I put someone down, was it another step towards hell? Mmmmm?  And then I read something about children having their stomachs sewn shut to help them lose weight and I had to wonder whether or not the parents of these obese kids should have just installed a lock on the kitchen door instead of putting these tykes through such major surgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I read the story about the super horny female butterflies and I had to ask myself whether or not I could emulate them during these menopausal years just to disprove the fact that missing hormones are not to blame for what many females experience as a dissipating desire to satisfy themselves and their mates. Are they truly not horny or are they just to tired for sex having picked up after everyone all day, every day?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All thoughts to ponder yes, but inspirational...I guess not, at least for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've visited many blogs during this time and it is my understanding that many people who have been blogging for a long time are now hitting the wall so to speak. Some have even considered quitting, but, we all know that no matter what, these blogs are our lifeline to the outside world. We rant, we rave, we make up a lot of shit and some of you, you know who you are, actually offer some great services or advice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day that I have gone to my blog in the past few weeks I've been getting the itch to hit the button I've been avoiding forever...the 'switch to new blogger' button that keeps informing me that they are ready and patiently waiting for me to just press the frigging button. I've had the urge but I just can't quite push it. What am I afraid of? Damned if I know, but I keep getting this odd feeling that when I do eventually take the leap of faith, my entire blog will go out into cyberspace and be gone. I know this is foolish because I see many of you have switched and your blogs look similar but changed. Perhaps I need your input to reassure me that all will not be lost and that I'm just being a big fat baby about this. My blog is certainly not brain surgery but still, I would hate to lose everything I've put into it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that said, I guess I'll go do some laundry or play with the pup some more or paint my son's room or build that fence out back or...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Bush Announces New War Funding Strategy</title><content type='html'>In an attempt to divert attention away from the extreme burden of funding a war everyone is sick of, President Bush is putting his focus on Social Security and Medicare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because people are now defying the laws of longevity the Bush administration has decided to eliminate the coverage of certain drugs and health coverage in order to put some kind of cap on life spans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman for the White House said that even though drug companies are making consumers take it up the ass by having to, on a regular basis, come up with inexhaustible amounts of money each month to feed their prescribed drug habits, they are tired of hearing billions of complaints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We feel that by banning certain drugs we will increase the natural attrition rate and we'll have to listen to fewer and fewer complainers," he said. "If people want to live through these extended years, they should be willing to pay the price without all the sniveling and be ready to sacrifice their drug money for war in a far away land where no one can really see how the money is being spent."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans however feel this is just not right. They are tired of paying for a war that will never end and of the countless lives it is costing the U.S. every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One anti-war activist who is using Bush's own words against him in his campaign to end Americas fruitless effort to calm a country that does not want to be calmed said that keeping America safe against extremists should include Bush as the number one candidate of extremity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Bush is about to ask for another $100 billion for military and diplomatic operations in Iraq and Afghanistan this year and another $145 next year. Imagine how many problems that could solve right here at home," he said. "We could supply everyone with all the meds they need. We could house the homeless and make sure that everyone has healthcare when they need it instead of making them wait until they are too sick to cure before they seek medical attention."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In cutting nearly $70 billion from Medicare and Social Security benefits, the current administration is hoping to stockpile enough money by 2012 to fund whatever war needs to be fought then.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-117052535226612427?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/117052535226612427/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=117052535226612427' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117052535226612427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117052535226612427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/02/bush-announces-new-war-funding.html' title='Bush Announces New War Funding Strategy'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-117035193893126938</id><published>2007-02-01T09:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-02T11:07:26.080-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Buff Takes On New Meaning At Gym</title><content type='html'>With all the new trends being touted by fitness experts, some feel that it's become an 'anything goes' attitude in hopes of motivating people to really get into shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Amsterdam, the owner of one fitness center has come up with Naked Sunday to entice more folks into the gym.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although many clients were on board with the idea, others were a little leary and said that it may backfire because people will be too embarrassed to bare all, especially in some of the positions that are involved in strenuous workouts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This will definitely inspire me to lose weight and get in shape but I'll have to avoid the gym for a while and start working out at home before I participate in a naked workout," said one woman who has struggled all her life to lose the excess weight on her butt. "I can hardly stand to look at my naked body in my own mirror let alone have everyone judge me while I contort my fat ass around some of this equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue of cleanliness has also factored in on many peoples decision to find an alternative place to work out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One woman who spoke to reporters had only this to say, "YUCK!"  She did add that although she likes many of the people she works out with, the idea of sitting on equipment that has just had someone's bare ass on it is repulsive to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naked exercisers will be requested to place a towel on seats and disposable seat covers on bikes before they work out but for many who have seen some of these people sweat through their clothes it will not be enough to keep them coming back.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-117035193893126938?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070202/ap_on_fe_st/netherlands_nude_gym;_ylt=AlPf4tV7bF07mopwd.AiWDHtiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--' title='Buff Takes On New Meaning At Gym'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/117035193893126938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=117035193893126938' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117035193893126938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/117035193893126938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/02/buff-takes-on-new-meaning-at-gym.html' title='Buff Takes On New Meaning At Gym'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-117028033621462638</id><published>2007-01-31T13:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T09:50:07.586-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hiatus Is Finally Over</title><content type='html'>To all my dear blog friends new and old,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been a difficult time for me this past month.

Thank God for these wonderful creatures!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just hit the play button and if you don't laugh, shame on you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/player/media/swf/FLVVideoSolo.swf' flashvars='id=627784&amp;emailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.yahoo.com%2Futil%2Fmail%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26vid%3Dd48763bbdeb85d9504e81675a1e37ac6.627784%26cache%3D1&amp;imUrl=http%253A%252F%252Fvideo.yahoo.com%252Fvideo%252Fplay%253F%2526ei%253DUTF-8%2526vid%253Dd48763bbdeb85d9504e81675a1e37ac6.627784%2526cache%253D1&amp;imTitle=Monkey%2BBusiness&amp;searchUrl=http://video.yahoo.com/video/search?p=&amp;profileUrl=http://video.yahoo.com/video/profile?yid=&amp;creatorValue=dW5pa3Njb3Q%3D&amp;vid=d48763bbdeb85d9504e81675a1e37ac6.627784' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='425' height='350'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-116900728425130288?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/116900728425130288/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=116900728425130288' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116900728425130288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116900728425130288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2007/01/must-see-video.html' title='Must See Video'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-116887075026137351</id><published>2007-01-15T06:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-15T06:19:10.346-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Some States Use Visual Aid To Stop Driving Distraction</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4316/1737/1600/675568/funny-pictures-hang-up-the-cell-phone-1Hv.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

The inmate apparently suffered needless pain in part due to the high tolerance level to lethal drugs that he acquired during his time in prison. Officials were forced to administer a second dose to finish him off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman for the consortium, which included Supreme Court Justices, leaders from the American Lawyers Association and an environmental group, said they have come up with a solution that will inevitably solve the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Inmates will be put to death by Lethal Ingestion," he said. "Every convict on death row will be fed meals from &lt;a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&amp;articleID=03BC8E45CE4903B86F933EBB1FEDBC44"&gt;Taco Bell&lt;/A&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/12/18/olive.garden.outbreak/index.html"&gt;The Olive Garden&lt;/A&gt; and will be forced to consume three portions a day of California grown lettuce and green onions in amounts large enough to eventually kill them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new bill is expected to pass hands down when congress reconvenes in January.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-116657713477660467?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/116657713477660467/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=116657713477660467' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116657713477660467'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116657713477660467'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2006/12/lethal-injection-too-much-for.html' title='Lethal Injection Too Much For Criminals'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-116645124396785986</id><published>2006-12-18T06:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-18T07:56:29.926-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wood May Be The Gift Of All Time</title><content type='html'>If you're a woman looking for a gift that stands out this year try giving that special man wood this Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scientists have found a way to give that special man in your life a little boost in the booty department by changing the structure of DNA so that erectile function is achievable and long lasting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a small pilot study, airline captains, co-pilots and even a few navigators were used as test subjects. Many of the participants were able to record the exact effects of the genetic alteration while filling countless hours in the air on auto-pilot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passengers on selected flights also participated by noting the demeanor of the pilots as they milled about the cabin welcoming them on board. Some findings lead researchers to the realization that they would need to play with the dosage as walking around among total strangers with a boner could lead to serious legal action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether the effect is in reality a real change in the genetic makeup or just a trick of the brain, researchers say that one shot can last up to 24 weeks and leave your man feeling like a stud muffin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The injection, which they say is the only part that causes any pain, can be injected while a patient is awake or asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We know that men are less likely to use this approach themselves because anything that comes near a mans penis usually needs to be soft and warm and a hypodermic needle anywhere in the vicinity of a mans sexual organ can be intensely frightening," one researcher said. "Our consumer target is the female partner of men suffering from a slowpoke penis because they have ample opportunities to strike when the iron is not hot so to speak."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Airline officials say that if this pilot program continues to work out, they will offer it as a hiring incentive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We want our pilots to be happy because when they're happy there are less turbulents in the air and on the ground."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-116645124396785986?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061211/hl_nm/gene_impotence_dc' title='Wood May Be The Gift Of All Time'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/116645124396785986/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=116645124396785986' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116645124396785986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116645124396785986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2006/12/wood-may-be-gift-of-all-time.html' title='Wood May Be The Gift Of All Time'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-116637134675580304</id><published>2006-12-17T07:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-17T08:02:26.756-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sundays Chuckle</title><content type='html'>Little  Johnny had a cussing problem and his father was getting tired of it, so he  decided to ask his shrink what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Since Christmas is coming up, you should ask Johnny what he wants Santa to bring him," the  shrink said,  "If he cusses while he tells you his wish list, leave a pile of dog poop in place of the gift or gifts he requests."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two days before Christmas, Johnny's father asked him what he wanted for Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I  want a damn teddy-bear laying right beside me when I wake-up.

"The beauty of the game though is that if a player cannot pull themselves out of one of these bad situations they will have a chance to at least play fair by having their own weapon to defend themselves and learn new ways of beating their opponent."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The game appropriately called "Beat The Heat", which designers say is loosely based around captured video from police patrol cars, security cameras and a variety of other captured confrontational footage, allows players the opportunity to reek their own revenge on over zealous police officers who lose all control over their sensibilities and act like every day criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much like Nintendo's@ hot new WII system, which allows players to feel entirely empowered to be part of the action with the hand held controllers that puts gamers dead center into the action, &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4316/1737/1600/264398/security2020_1926_770967.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4316/1737/200/46777/security2020_1926_770967.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 'Beat The Heat' will be released with a wireless controller that looks like and has the same exact feel of state issued tazer guns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The design is such that if a player fails to negotiate a direct hit on the opponent and instead becomes the recipient of a well placed shot, the system sends a message to the retaliation sensor and it shoots an electrical charge at whoever is holding the controller," the designer said. "We've taken into consideration the time it takes to recover from a tazer strike and have programmed the system to pause itself until the players is upright again."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Manufacturers warn that this system is not for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is the real shit and we caution anyone with heart related medical conditions not to participate in any gaming with this system, especially those who wear pacemakers--that could get pretty ugly."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman for the Justice department said the game serves two purposes, one of which aids those whose real criminal activity has pitted them against police officers again and again to gain a better knowledge of how to react, avoid or take control of a real life confrontation with law enforcement. He said the second reason they developed this particular game is due to the fact that the number of people choosing to go into law enforcement has dwindled over the years and they feel this is likely to become a crucial recruiting tool for police academies across the nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There comes a time when every one of us wants a chance to beat the crap out of someone or something sometime in our life, whether it's in fun or in the line of duty, and this is the perfect solution because the only one it really hurts is the players themselves."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The system is set to be released throughout selected U.S. states in limited quantities later this week in order to capture the highest consumer market and will be released globally in early 2007.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-116628135500797547?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/116628135500797547/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=116628135500797547' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116628135500797547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116628135500797547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2006/12/game-system-is-shocking-for-consumers.html' title='Game System Is Shocking For Consumers'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-116623803570005195</id><published>2006-12-15T19:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-16T08:03:32.020-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Guns For The Blind</title><content type='html'>What do blind folks and politicians have in common?

At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Page yourself over the intercom without disguising your voice. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "In."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Specify that your drive-through order is "To Go."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, 'Rock Bottom'.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;8. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won!, I Won!"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;9. Tell your children over dinner, "Due to the economy, we're going to have to let one of you go." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Acquire a taste for Prozac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officials do offer a warning however that if none of these above mentioned tactics work, you should immediately seek the help of a professional.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-116610607806096202?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/116610607806096202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=116610607806096202' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116610607806096202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116610607806096202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2006/12/hints-to-ward-off-holiday-stress.html' title='Hints To Ward Off Holiday Stress'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-116601936208401580</id><published>2006-12-13T04:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-13T06:16:02.340-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ass Cheeks Gives New Lease On Life</title><content type='html'>Being the butt of the joke is nothing new for art teacher Stephen Murmer who was recently suspended from his job after school officials deemed he was setting a bad example for his students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Murmer's unique painting style however, is garnering him world wide recognition in the art circles and making his pearly white ass quite famous. His technique involves slathering paint on his butt-cheeks and genitals then pressing those areas onto a canvas to create a one-of-a-kind painting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He came up with this &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXIL1VlVjD4"&gt;unique style&lt;/A&gt; after being asked to use something organic to create a stamp for a class project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas others in his class used items such as potatoes or other such unimaginative organic materials, Murmer basically used his head in vying for top spot in the creative process.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School officials are devastated by the publicity this has drawn to their campus, but many feel that by suspending Murmer, they brought it on themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokeswoman for the school told the press that, 'personnel regulations state that teachers are expected to set an example  through their personal conduct' as well as acting as role models for students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently being an entrepreneur is not something the school district encourages nor do they endorse any kind of 'wise-crackers'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Murmer's paintings, which sell upwards of $900, are expected to sell like hot cakes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17900379-116601936208401580?l=jbwritergirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061213/ap_on_fe_st/teacher_butt_art' title='Ass Cheeks Gives New Lease On Life'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/feeds/116601936208401580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17900379&amp;postID=116601936208401580' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116601936208401580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17900379/posts/default/116601936208401580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jbwritergirl.blogspot.com/2006/12/ass-cheeks-gives-new-lease-on-life.html' title='Ass Cheeks Gives New Lease On Life'/><author><name>jbwritergirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14496164344454761065</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_dSiXgugZJ3U/SIumqNJ2ouI/AAAAAAAAAGw/664nFOu0vEo/S220/Jacqui+Picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17900379.post-116593448392475468</id><published>2006-12-12T05:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-12T06:41:24.146-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Quiz Tuesday</title><content type='html'>&lt;br/&gt;&lt;table width=300 height="120" bgcolor="#000000" cellpadding=1 border=0 cellspacing=0&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;table background="http://extimg.quizopolis.com/images/whitedot.gif" width="100%" height="100%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=center align=center style="font-size: 11px;
