Well, as if there wasn't enough out there for us to worry about... now, there is a website that allows anyone to post anything (good or bad) about their neigbors and pinpoint them on a Google generated satellite map.

The site claims that you can also post information about your neighborhood (again good or bad) to let people know wether they should move their or not. 

Even though I don't have anything bad to say about our neighborhood, I wouldn't want to because it would only cause less people to want to move here which could possibly drive real esate prices down.  As long as I still own a house here, I certainly don't want negative press sending prices spiraling downward... but that hasn't stopped some people from bashing their own neighborhoods on this website.

We were just having a conversation with a gentleman, yesterday, who was not aware of the dangers of Aspartame and today, this article (see below) arrives in our inbox.  I wanted to make sure that others are aware of this danger... 200,000 million peope worldwide consume Aspartame and it's found in 6,000 different products!

How Does Aspartame Damage Your Brain?

Consuming a lot of aspartame may inhibit the ability of enzymes in your brain to function normally, according to a new review by scientists from the University of Pretoria and the University of Limpopo.

The review found that high doses of the sweetener may lead to neurodegeneration. It has also previously been found that aspartame consumption can cause neurological and behavioral disturbances in sensitive individuals.

Specifically, the review found a number of direct and indirect changes that occur in your brain as a result of high consumption levels of aspartame, including disturbing:

• The metabolism of amino acids
• Protein structure and metabolism
• The integrity of nucleic acids
• Neuronal function
• Endocrine balances

Please help spread the word to your family and friends who continue to consume diet foods laced with Aspartame.

How much money are you going to make this year from blogging?  Enough to do it ful-time?  Rocketboom is selling his "Twitter" account, including his 1,500+ subcribers, on ebay and is starting to gain quite a following.  As I post, the highest bid is $1,125.00.

Follow the bidding here! (sorry, I tried to imbed the link but it wasn't working)

www.Twitter.com started in March of 2006 and has become an internet smash hit with millions of twitters worldwide and growing.  According to the website -

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

Why? Because even basic updates are meaningful to family members, friends, or colleagues—especially when they’re timely.

• Eating soup? Research shows that moms want to know.
• Running late to a meeting? Your co–workers might find that useful.
• Partying? Your friends may want to join you.

With Twitter, you can stay hyper–connected to your friends and always know what they’re doing. Or, you can stop following them any time. You can even set quiet times on Twitter so you’re not interrupted.

Twitter puts you in control and becomes a modern antidote to information overload.

To each his own, however, it seems as though one clever individual has figured out how to cash in on the "Twitter" bug sweeping the globe.  I guess I just don't understand how someone who wants to follow said "Rocketboom" might want to follow the winning bidder of the ebay auction.  But, for now, someone thinks it's worth $1,125.00 to obtain said followers/friends. 

This could only be the beginning as the auction isn't over until April 22nd.  Who knows what the price tag for 1500+ followers (and growing due to all the publicity) will be by then.

I guess it goes to show you that having "friends" in this day in age (i.e. through social networks), isn't quite what it used to be (i.e. good ol' fashioned, face to face and talking on the phone).   In the land of social networking, one can only imagine where it might all end up...

Will work for Followers/Friends!

Driver Crosses Into Oncoming Traffic in Anna Causing Deadly Wreck

Fox News Aritcle Here

ANNA, Texas  --  A driver on Highway 121 in Collin County made a decision this morning that took two lives, according to police.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This is just really sad.  The driver of the car that caused that accident was trying to pass a line of cars.  - A LINE OF CARS!!!  How fast must he have been going, trying to get back in his own lane, before he crested the hill?  We drove over there today (about 4 miles from the house) and in both directions, it's a completely blind hill, until the very last second that you crest it.

She never even had time to react.  We haven't heard the name of the female driver yet, but I would ask that you pray for both of the families who have just lost a love one.

And, to anyone who reads this that has a tendency to take huge risks on the road.  Please remember... you may not be the only one who dies from your lack of judgement!

Nothing is worth losing your life over... he might have been late for work, but now... he'll never punch another time clock again!

If you know someone who drives like this, be sure to have them read this post!  Maybe, you can save a life.
