Sex Addiction is the New Black!

Oh puuuuuhleeease!!! There is NO such thing as a sex addiction! (see my thoughts on blog below)

But what I do see is a very lucrative career choice for those who specialize in Addictions/Psychology! Up until 3 days ago, I did not even realize you could GET a degree in Addictions?? But you can, and I am seriously thinking about it... enough to at least call my local college that just sent me an enrollment brochure listing all their degree programs and find out whazzzzup with that!

I am hoping my lil 'bro who has a degree in psychology jumps on the bandwagon and cashes in on this wussy excuse for a lameass cheating s.o.b.!! He is on his way back.

You go Dr. Doogles!!!

Celebrity B.S. Translation 101

LOS ANGELES (Aug. 29) - David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction.

In a statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein, the actor said he did so voluntarily, adding: "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

In the REAL world this translates to:Oh shit!! My wife, Tea Leoni, caught my sorry ass cheating and I better come up with a pathetic ass reason before she takes our 2 kids and HALF of everything I have right on the cusp of my X-Files movie being a huge success!

Oh Dr Drew... say it ain't so

(Aug. 25) - The California psychiatric center affiliated with pop culture icon Dr. Drew Pinsky is under investigation after three patients died and a 14-year-old was raped there in the past five months, according to media reports.

Pinsky, host of the "Loveline" radio show and the VH-1 show "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,"' is listed as co-medical director of the chemical dependency unit at the Aurora Las Encinas Hospital. He has said he did not directly treat any of the patients in question.

The hospital boasts $1,400-a-night rooms and spa-like amenities for well-heeled patients suffering from mental illness and substance abuse. Two patients died of overdoses in two days this April and the state Department of Health faulted the hospital for the deaths, according to reports by the Los Angeles Times and ABC News.

Jeffrey Hearn, 28, apparently overdosed on drugs he had been given by another patient, according to the news reports.

Alex Clyburn, 23, still had high levels of narcotics in his system when he checked into the facility, according to the Los Angeles Times. Doctors gave him additional medication and ordered staff to check on him every 15 minutes. He was found dead in his room the next morning, the Times said. The hospital fired a nurse for failing to look in on him.

The third person hanged himself earlier this month, and the next day the 14-year-old girl reported she was raped by a 16-year-old patient near where hospital staff slept, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Pinsky said he had nothing to do with any of the incidents.

"These are not my patients," he told ABCNews.com. "To associate me with these situations is really becoming an egregious problem."

Clyburn's mother said she considered Pinsky responsible.

"I think Dr. Drew is responsible for the quality of care on that unit and he should have known that there needed to be corrections made," Arline Clyburn told ABCNEWS.com. She said she plans to sue the hospital.

Pinsky first gained fame through the radio show "Loveline" in the late 1980s and 1990s and became known for his forthright advice. His new reality television show, based at a recovery facility near Aurora Las Encinas, has drawn fire from those who say he is unfairly taking advantage of patients as well as pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable for a reality television show.

The hospital featured Pinsky's photo on its Web site -- the only doctor so featured -- but soon after news of the deaths circulated the photo was removed.

The federal government threatened to halt funding for the hospital four years ago when two patients died. One drowned, and the other died after two days in leg restraints. He was supposed to be restrained for only 3 1/2 hours, according to news reports.

After the recent incidents a subsidiary of the nation's second-largest health insurer, UnitedHealth Group, has halted referrals to he hospital as the insurance company conducts its own investigation into the recent deaths.

Boy oh Boy!! I sure do LOVE me some Dr. Drew and have been counting the days to the new season of Celebrity Rehab on VH-1!!!

Now really, I have no idea if he is at fault or not but these people were seriously screwed up to land at this facility in the first place so they should be under ROUND THE CLOCK babysitting and under lockdown at certain times. Also patients should be searched inside and out LITERALLY for contraband. When I watched the first season of Celeb Rehab they did that. They wouldn't even let Mary Carey (VERY UNDERSTANDABLY) bring her porn movies or toys in with her! How did these NON celebrities smuggle all these drugs in??? And if it was from visitors, you should not be allowed unsupervised visits!!! C'mon folks!! I have NO medical background and could have done a better job at running the facility! I really hope the good Doctor is NOT at fault for any of these tragic deaths!!!

Cell Hell

We gave Corey Jamey's old prepay cellphone. Of course we are NOT putting minutes on it for a six year old but he just likes charging it up and playing all the ringtones on it and taking pictures, he follows us around saying "work it for me, i am the paparazzi" (a chip off the old block, or what?? LOL)

Anyways..... he was mad this morning because I wouldn't let him carry it to school in his bookbag. He tried to argue he needed it on the bus to check the time!! He is hiLARious for a six year old!!!!

Wham Bam Thank You Pam

First let me say to anyone who was googling pics of Pam Anderson and reached this, SORRY! I am sure this was not the "pam pic" you were looking for!

This little blog is to pay my homage to Pam Anderson. I think she gets a pretty bum rap that is not always deserved. I can honestly say that I always knew WHO she was and WHAT negative things I read about her in the tabloids but I really never thought anything other than "my god, how does one woman look so incredibly gorgeous all the time". Wasn't a fan, wasn't a hater, really didn't phase me one way or the other until one night when I went to bed early (again, sorry if this is not heading it the direction you are hoping for) to read my monthly issue of Jane Magazine. I get about 1/3 of the way thru and turn the page and there's Pam and a little blurb from Jane saying that from now on Pam will write a monthly article for them. I thought, oh no, what has Jane Magazine come to letting this woman write an article? Can she even put a sentence together.... I apologize profusely, Pam, for letting the media put a negative image in my mind from the get go with you!

I read her article and I was floored. I read it again and still in shock! I still kinda wondered if she put that together herself but I knew she did. And I thought to myself, this is a SMART woman, why does she make poor choices in men all the time? She is a wonderful, loving mother to her sons and I could clearly see month after month of flipping straight to her journal page, that those boys are her everything! She wrote every sentence straight from the heart whether she was talking about her boys, a failed relationship or her Hepatitis. I have nothing but respect for her and still think she is the sexiest woman alive no doubt about it!

It makes me wonder how she is so smart and yet still makes dumb decisions when it comes to men??? None of my business but I have to put my 2 cents in and say that I wish she would just stay with Tommy because personally, from the outside looking in, when they are together, they are both beaming with happiness and for better or worse, I think they are soulmates and will never find a love more powerful with anyone else.
I really don't see her boys growing up to be thugs or fucked up delinquents like many others in Hollywood today.

So, here's to you, Pam!!

My homework's done, can I go out to play?

So my middle two, Jensen and Corey, went back to school yesterday. Corey is in first grade this year so he goes a full day. I ran a couple of errands with the baby and came home to a QUIET house, no fighting, no tvs blaring no kids running in and out and making a mess in the kitchen all day... aahhhhh what better break could a mom ask for.......

AND THEN THEY CAME BACK... and MY homework began!! Why oh why do I have to fill out the same endless stack of paperwork for each child year after year after year when nothing has changed from last May when they left the SAME schools??? Do they throw away the student files on the last day of school?? I think they should have the info already there and even the papers I filled out yesterday asked for the SAME INFO over and over just on different colored copy paper and sometimes on a cutesy index card. o m g!!! I think I have carpal tunnel from all that writing!!! I don't write anymore, I TYPE!! Doesn't everyone type these days?? We used to get in trouble for passing notes in school, not anymore.. now they get their cell phones confiscated for texting in class! I think if your information- ie: address or phone.. has not changed since the end of last school year, you should NOT have to continue to fill out all new paperwork each August. I asked my best friend how she can stand it when she has all four of hers in school at the same time. She said "I locked myself upstairs and said NOBODY BOTHER me, and 2.5 hours later I emerged with a headache!"

I am glad mine are spaced so that I will never have more than 2 in school at the same time!!!! My biological clock only set off the alarm when my "baby du jour" was starting kindergarten!! That alarm will have to stay on permanent snooze this time as I cannot fathom it ringing successfully when Kasey starts school in five years and I am well..... let's just say I won't be 29 any longer!!!

OH MYchael!!

'Nuff said

Apparently in Ohio, we like our babies WELL DONE

Baby Found Dead At Cincinnati Christian University

Police cruiser blocks driveway on the Price Hill campus.

Cincinnati police are investigating the death of an 11-month-old baby girl found inside a minivan in Price Hill around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. (DEJA VU for us in Cincy!)

Police say the baby's mother, Dr. Jodie Edwards, left the infant girl inside the van in a parking lot on the campus of Cincinnati Christian University. ( oh obvioulsy it was an ACCIDENT if she teaches at the CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY, right?)
Police say the baby was discovered by her mother as she was leaving work this afternoon.

Earlier investigators had said they believed the girl had been left inside the van for several hours.

Police now say the child was still in her car seat when her mother reported for work at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.

9News was told by a school official that Edwards had a recent change in her daycare routine and had not realized her daughter was still in the van when she parked it.

Edwards is a faculty member at Cincinnati Christian University where she teaches counseling.

9News was told the first day back for the school's faculty members was last Friday.

This Saturday marks the first anniversary of a tragedy reminiscent of what happened this afternoon at Cincinnati Christian University.

Former assistant principal Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby's two-year old daughter, Cecilia Slaby, died after being trapped for eight-hours inside a hot SUV outside Glen Este Middle School.

The temperature that day was up to 100 degrees Farenheit.

Clermont County prosecutors decided not to prosecute Nesselroad-Slaby.

The West Clermont school board agreed to allowing her to retire on disability, or pay her salary into next year if that failed. (makes me so proud that she was my daughter's vice principal and jealous that I can't get a job with those kind of benefits! kill your baby and get to leave your job and continue to get paid for a year)
A prayer vigil is being planned following Wednesday's tragedy.

If Wednesday's death is ruled hyperthermia it will be the first child death of its kind in Ohio this year.

But it would also be the 29th in the United States this year.

(I would like a list of all these "accidental" deaths from other states and to see if THOSE parents all walked away scott free!)

I am beyond outraged after staying up to watch the news last night. Her coworkers all said the same thing 'SHE HAD A CHANGE IN HER ROUTINE THAT'S WHY IT HAPPENED' OMFG!!! Those are the EXACT words of excuse that Brenda Slaby used one year ago. She changed her routine! I have FOUR kids going in all different directions all year long, my routine "CHANGES" all the time and I can assure you I have never and never would "FORGET" one of them and I can't say I know anyone with kids that ever has! It makes me sick!! Another wealthy woman will walk away free from killing a baby!!! If "go for the jugular Joe" lets her off it's only because he HAS to because they set the precedent for this with Brenda Slaby! I guess anyone wanting to get rid of their kids should come to Ohio where it's OK to cook your baby alive, but make sure you don't duct tape them and leave them in a closet, because apparently THAT is taking it a little too far! (google marcus fiesel... another fine family here in Shitcinnati)

Another Day .... Another Dollar??

'Dollar Menu' May Soon Be '$1.29 Menu'
Reuters
posted: 3 DAYS 2 HOURS AGO
BEIJING (Aug. 7) - McDonald's Corp. said on Thursday it was considering further price increases, but would do nothing that slowed customer traffic into its global network of stores.

The world's largest restaurant chain posted second-quarter profit that beat expectations on strong international sales, but said to offset mounting commodity pressures it was looking at changes to the popular Dollar Menu, which lures value diners.

"I don't think customers care that much if the price moves slightly away from a dollar," Chief Executive Jim Skinner told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of an event to mark its sponsorship of the Olympics. "It will always be the best value around," he said.

Much speculation swirls around the fate of the Dollar Menu double cheeseburger, which McDonald's has tested in certain markets at prices up to $1.29.
Skinner said McDonald's might adjust some prices in the menu, but that it would not abandon the Dollar Menu because it was a key part of bringing customers into its stores.

"We won't get rid of the Dollar Menu ... we must maintain traffic," Skinner said.
During the first half of the year, McDonald's raised prices in the United States by 4 percent and prices across Europe were boosted by 2 percent to 4 percent.
But the price rise accounted for just under half of the average annual gain in commodity prices that McDonald's faces.

While reducing costs and increasing efficiency are a part of McDonald's everyday operations, the company would not scale back its expansion.

Is it just ME?? When I hit the DOLLAR store or the DOLLAR menu at a fast food joint, I only expect to pay ONE DOLLAR for each item I purchase!
"I don't think customers care that much if the price moves slightly away from a dollar,"

THIS customer sure does!!

Salute to the Olympics

SNAKES ALIVE!!

So... since moving here in February, I have seen more "freaks of nature" than living for five years with our house backing up to the Cincy Nature Center!!! We have been swarmed by bats over our bonfire, cicadas, which are STILL hatching daily and SNAKES!! Not to mention the undergroud lair of a beehive right outside our bedroom window. We have blasted, smoked, tried to poison, flood and who knows what else to them and they are still there!

Just this morning, as the mailwoman passed, I go out and see yet another snake lying in the rain in front of my mailbox. Needless to say.. the mail is still in the box! I would rather see a snake than a bug anytime, but I didn't think stepping over his head to get into the mailbox would be one of my smarter moves!

Houston.... we have a poo flinger!

o m g!!!!!!

I hear Kasey crying this morning so i go get her some milk, go into her room and it was still a little dark and i see a big dark "thing" on the floor, at first i panic thinking it is a huge bug and it's a big turd!!! GROSS!!! oh, that was NOTHING!! I look in the crib.. the diaper is off, the sheets have dingleberrys and poop smears on them and she has it on her hands! NOW I freak out wondering if she ate it!! I wipe her up, let her have her cup, change the sheets. When she was finished, I was holding her on the couch and telling her we don't have POO FLINGERS in this family and I see poop smeared on her elbow, I grossed out and said "ok, bathtime" and she looks up at me and has TWO turds tangled in her bangs smashed to her forehead like frankenstein bolts!!! I am laughing so hard right now I am typing this blindly! I could NOT pull the turds out and put her in the tub and there was another one in the back of her hair! I ALMOST cut her hair to get them out but I finally got them and scrubbed her hair about 4 times!!!! It was soo gross!!! NONE of my kids ever did this before!!!
