Facebook Fans In An Uproar!

Personally I'm not a member of Facebook. However what I do know about it is that is seems to be a social networking-type website along the lines of MySpace.

I see that those that do belong to Facebook are up in arms about some changes that Facebook has made and I decided to find out more about it.

On February 4, 2009, Facebook changed their terms of service. Here is what another blog post has posted about the change:

"Anything you upload to Facebook can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later. Want to close your account? Good for you, but Facebook still has the right to do whatever it wants with your old content"

When you sign up with Facebook, you grant them the use of anything that you upload to them and you grant them the right(s) of irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute those things that you have indeed uploaded to them!

Well, I didn't win the lottery (again!)

I don't know why I keep playing the lottery! No, I change that - yes I do. I played it because #1 I had a coupon for a free lottery ticket (as long as I bought 1) and #2 I played it because I hoped I'd win!

I tell you lottery headquarters must be getting very, very rich off of the people (me included) who play the lottery!

I did see this television show about people who had won the lottery. One man killed himself and a woman who won the lottery ended up in jail! There were some good stories too. One couple manage to live quite quietly with their lottery winnings and one girl after she won the lottery got her friend out of the armed forces and they got married.

What would I do if I won the lottery? I would pay off my bills! After that I would just sit back and relax for a couple of hours secure in the knowledge that my bills were paid! (At least for a little while!)

Here's What My Horoscope Said For Today...

CancerJune 21 - July 21

"Construction on streets or buildings might make it difficult for you to get around your neighborhood today, dear Cancer. Traffic might be backed up for blocks. If you must run errands, either walk or get them done very early in the day. The work could foul up the phone lines as well, at least for a while, so you might miss some calls you would have preferred to take. This could be a frustrating day. Keep yourself busy at home."

And this is exactly what I did today! It's a mess outside because of our recent snow. And to top it all off, the snow from the last snowstorm that we had hadn't completely melted away yet. So I kept myself inside. Not only is it cold with snow everywhere but its slippery snow! And I'm sure that there is some ice mixed in as well! Crossing Cheltenham Avenue is hard enough without having to worry about finding some ground without snow or ice on it!

So today I'm inside at my computer tapping away!

Vitamins?

Not as young as I used to be (even though some people call me young) and I realize that I have to be more healthy! That's why I bought these. Why are vitamins soooooooooooo expensive? These cost around $6. Anyways I get curious attention when I buy salt pork and lard because I use it in my cooking and some people have even told me that they were surprised that Shoprite even sold lard!

Maybe next time I'll take a picture of the lard and post it here. Yeah I know there's Crisco and even more healthier cooking oils out there but lard is what I know........................................
