Acai Berry, Slim Tea and all of the other "trial" for $4.95, etc...
DO NOT DO IT. There are all sorts of scam sites, fines and fees that these companies are hiding in their fine print. I ordered the Slim Tea and minutes later, Alex told me to cancel. A week later, I not only had a $69.95 charge, but a $19.95 charge for something called Fit Factory, something I did not sign up for. It also took weeks to get this stuff removed as their phone number don't always work!!
This has happened to myself and three of my friends who live all over the U.S.!!!
If it's too good to be true, it probably is! AVOID THIS!!!

Day Three - Cabin Fever
So here is my update. I am STILL sick. And wouldn't you know it, many of my work cohorts are sick, too and have been sick almost exactly the duration I have been - oy, whirlwind.
Today was different. I would normally revel in a day off from work but let's face it – I am sick of being sick. My head still hurts and I still have that that 75 year old – geriatric whiskey and ciggies cough, only I am sober with the exception of the oodles of illness libations I have been concocting.
My lone trip to the store this morning was simply for necessity and air. Another beautiful day missed and gone and while the sun was shining, I had the shivers.
On a happy note? I had bitchin' Indian food for lunch that was so spicy hot that I think it burned a hole into my fever. And since Mr. A now works for home, I had my feathers fanning and grapes fed to me all day. Kitty also got to sit outside since we were both here to keep our eyes on her.
Couch Potato TV update:
As of 4 AM this morning, whether it was too much Vitamin C too late at night or mixing too many cold surplus supplies, I watched a marathon of the show, "Jon and Kate plus 8" – the story of a family with two parents, a set of twins and a set of sextuplets. I ordinarily would find this stuff a little humdrum as I once was a nanny for a set of quadruplets, but eight kids are eight kids and let me tell you, a six hour feverish marathon of diapers, potties and feedings actually kept me in stitches. So darling. The parents are very likeable and the kids are really adorable.
I watched "American Gigolo" this afternoon. I'd seen it before but failed to realize that whomever did the music took the song "Call me" from Blondie and turned it into 25 different songs. That is, "Call me" is played throughout the entire movie in MUZAK -- sometimes with synthesizers, sometimes in porn chime and mostly, just annoying….wasn't the opening credits with the REAL song playing enough?? But hi, can we talk about a wee bit of full frontal from Mr Gere??
I think my couch potato days are about to come to an end though. As of this moment, I think I can comfortably say the storm is passing and to be fair, I am over it. Lovelies, stay healthy and TAKE YOUR VITAMINS!

I caught the plague
Movies and sneezes
Illness. It’s what I get for bragging on Thursday that I “never get sick…” And so my punishment is a gnarly cough, a massive headache, the start of a cold and total sleeplessness that started a mere day later.
What had I been doing with my time? Funny you should ask. For about a year or so, I have had what I call “movie ADD” – that is, I cannot sit still long enough for anything at any moment. A half hour show is about my maximum.
But this crapola illness has changed that. My movie marathon started with “Alice, Sweet, Alice,” later re-named, “Communion” or vice-versa. It’s a 1970’s horror about a little evil girl named (guess…) Alice. Ended up being much better than expected and perfectly creepy. I even later found out that the mom in the movie is Jackie Gleason’s daughter and Jason Patric’s mom. Brooke Shields film debut, too (she’s only in it for 10 seconds, btw.)
I then watched, “Matrix” which I haven’t sit and watched in forever but then slept thru most of it.
This morning, after a try with no avail to get up and do something, I lay on the couch more to watch “Pretty Woman” that was on over and over again. Why does cable do this? I really only need to see this movie once every 10 years, if that. I mean, they completely destroyed “Shawshank Redemption” by playing it over and over.
I then found that “Sex and the City’s” first six epidodes were running on HBO On Demand. How happy did it make me, even if at this point I was running a temperature?
I then watched “Rumor Has it…” -- du-um. Had potential but lost it quickly. Jennifer Aniston vehicle and it’s just – meh.
Today I watched “Dick” – just darling. Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams (yes, Heath’s Michelle) were the stars.
Super Big Product Fun Show then became my addiction. This is between napping, mind you. I still feel like cack. SBPFS is this Asian network show, dubbed into English that is so funny and bizarre and at moments, a little creepy. They basically take a product to see what it is and if it’s for real but the products are FREAKY – like a Scorpion Bong. For real. It’s a bong tube wide enough for a Scorpion to go down…into your mouth. And they have several volunteers trying this.
That’s all of now. Btw. Did I mention my bitterness for missing out on my entire weekend and the Summer-like temperatures (it’s 80 here today and ahem, 1 degree in Chicago, btw). But as the Man says, it will be permanent Summer here before we know it. And this little rest has been sort of nice, minus the whooping cough and Scarlett Fever

Give a hoot ---
Dear Litterbug:
I started writing down your license plate number but was not sure who to call. I thought of following you home just to see if you treat your own house with such utter disdain. I even thought of driving up to your window to yell obscenities, but in this day and age, you never know what that could lead to.
What do I know of you? Obviously, you really love Burger King or you don’t, which is why you decided to whip a large bag of it out your window onto the street . I know you really like your Monster Truck as the gleam of the fresh wash beamed into my eyes as I watched you contaminate the street with your garbage. And you like your vehicle enough to not leave your own trash inside so instead, you leave it to Mother Nature.
Am I taking this out on just you? No. Friday as I drove down Sunset, I watched a person fling Starbucks out of their Mercedes. God forbid you dirty the Mercedes because your latte with the twist had too much foam. The Earth is a much better place to throw your trash…
Not so. I care. And I wish there was a way to make citizens arrests for fucktards that decide that throwing the remnants of their ashtray out the window was somehow a good thing. I wish I could fine people in parks for leaving all of their weekend nosh leftovers to raccoons and the very over-worked and underpaid park workers who have to clean that shit up. Don’t even get me started on the sewers and the fact they drain into our oceans and lakes causing more…ugh, nevermind.
Mostly, I just wish everyone would take a moment to put a bag in their car if they eat or drink in it and dispose of it as nature intended and NOT leave it as the eyesore and contamination it becomes.
Christ people, it’s 2008. There are more than enough warnings that we keep making HUGE mistakes for our environment and all…can you just put your damn garbage in the trash as it belongs? Or compost!

Annoyance and joy
If ever you notice a chunk of typos (it happens) in my stuff and they seem to be all concentrated to one area, let me share: there is a big thick, nasty, gnarly, angry, line that goes down the center of my screen on my laptop. It's an anomaly. It drives me MAD. Mad I tell you! But I guess I can’t complain. A year ago, I had NO computer so this is not the worst thing ever, but it definitely gets in the way when I feel like blabbing.
If any techie nerds know how to fix this, feel free to give me your two cents!
Otherwise, today was a great day. While I indeed had to be up extra early, the day was filled with interesting moments, new and more interesting people and traffic wasn’t so bad on my way home. I also e-mailed with a few darling friends and just felt good and shiny all day!
Want to see something adorable?? I just can’t get over how amazing this story is…I hope no moronic people break the peace.
