The modern era TELEX

Once upon a time there was TELEX - space was at a premium so messages were short and full of shortcuts. One would think that in the digital age we would not revert back to TELEX, but we have: Text Messaging on cell-phones.

Nutrition Tip of the Day!

When buying breakfast cereal, here is a simple rule of thumb:

If the cereal has more than 5-6g of Sugars per serving, AVOID IT! AVOID IT!. The only exception is for high-fiber cereal (eg frosted mini-wheatties) as sugar makes them easier to eat :-)

Now this is just crazy!

With so many things going on right now, the House had to waste time on a bill (proposed by a right wing drone from Virginia), because Christmas is "under attack" from "Happy Holidays" wishes. Now that's just plain ridiculous! They are wasting taxpayer's money to SAVE CHRISTMAS from the menace of HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Paramount just scratched a check, and guess what, they just bought Dreamworks for a mere 1.6 billion dollars.
