WWE - Judgment Day

Grab the hot wings, soda, snacks and a comfy seat...because Judgment Day is here! The WWE pay-per-view starts tonight at 7:30 PM. It is time for us to make our picks for the matches tonight. While I am sure we will have many surprises along the way, my family and I love to bicker over who will win and why. The conversation has been raging since 8 am this morning! My picks to win are listed in red below.

John Morrison vs. Shelton Benjamin - Though this classifies as a "bathroom match" for my family, as neither of them make us sit up and take notice, I am predicting that Morrison will run away with the victory. It appears to me that the WWE is trying to give him more face time, and bring him into the hearts of fans everywhere. After all, they did pair him with CM Punk on Friday night's Smackdown.

Randy Orton vs. Batista - Orton just ran away with the title a few weeks ago. It is my bet that he will keep his title tonight. Batista's tendency to get dropped on his head, causing the bats in the belfry to keep him dizzy for a while, will play a part in this. Personally, I'd love to see Orton lose, as I love to hate his storylines. He's always the bad guy...always.

Edge vs. Hardy - It is his time to win guys & gals. Hardy has overpaid his dues for his past mistakes. Tonight, we will see Hardy walk away a champion. Let's face it...there isn't anyone left to save Edge. At any rate, this will be a great match. Jeff Hardy gives 110% to his fans every time he steps into the ring. I'll be rooting for him!

Christian vs. Swagger - We rarely see a title change hands in most pay-per-views. Recently, there's been a ton of changing going on. I think Christian, who has come into his own since his return to the WWE, will walk away victorious. Swagger needs to get a tan, stop acting like an over grown spoiled prep school boy and get back to basics. If you look like a big ol' farmboy, take advantage of it. Us country girls love it!

Cena vs. Big Show - I heard a rumor that Cena is set to start a new movie soon, and will be taking time from the WWE for this. Since we know that there aren't many who could truly take Cena in a match without getting a lucky break, who better to pit him against than Big Show. Cena will lose this match tonight, and be gone for a while with some type of "injury." Let's just hope the injury isn't real!

Mysterio vs. Jericho - It pains me to say this, almost makes me physically ill. I hate the role that Jericho has played for the last year or so, but I do think he will take the title tonight from Mysterio. This is one that I'd be happy to be wrong about guys & gals.

Punk vs. Umaga - So much for that case Punk keeps carrying around. I doubt we'll see him cash it in tonight, as Umaga is a force to be reckoned with. As much as I'd love to see Punk win, I think Umaga will be victorious. Sad...he hasn't been around much lately. To bad the few times we've seen him, he's been a thorn in Punk's side.

Last but not least, with the absence of Michaels & Triple H, one has to wonder...will DX make an appearance? If they do, Orton might be getting more than he bargained for. I do miss the sound of DX's music starting and the thrill we get from knowing we are about to see one of the best teams in WWE history walk down the ramp. Even if they show up together, Orton will keep that belt, because we know it will be an instant DQ for Batista if they get involved in the match.

Still...I would love to see DX return to beat the living daylights out of the Orton cult. Legacy is nothing more than a bunch of robots following Orton around like a bunch of beaten, hungry pups. Stay tuned for a wild night WWE fans!

Steel Buildings

We went off in search of an easy way to add a small workshop or garage to our landscape. I work from home and often I just need more room to store crafts, supplies and more. It came to my attention that steel buildings are an affordable, easy solution to this need. Olympia Steel Buildings offers a variety of easy ways to handle any type of building you might need. From garages & sheds to huge buildings that I'll never need, they have a great choice. And they are registered with the BBB online, which gives an comfortable feeling of reliability. They are on my list to check out!

TV Mount

In this day and age, our comforts have gotten larger. With televisions that are bigger than ever, many of us have to choose between size & room. Our living rooms, great rooms, family rooms and even bedrooms are crowded with that big screen TV that we just had to have, but really doesn't fit in with the rest of our stuff. Amazingly enough, we don't have to live with the TV crowding our space. Every day, new choices become available for an attractive stand or tv mount that will place our television up high enough to be out of our way, but still provide the luxury of watching our favorite shows in comfort.

The choices are endless!

Orlando Vacations

With Summer quickly approaching, many are turning their attention to vacations. Everyone loves to getaway, but the economy has us all counting our pennies & checking our budgets. Affordable vacations still exist though!

Orlando vacations provide a great getaway at an affordable price for families. Packages have never been more economical than they are today. Visit Disney or any of the other great theme parks in Florida, plan a beach vacation or go fishing. These days, if you look hard or find a great agent, you can get a fun-filled trip for 3 nights with a hotel & park tickets for just $229. What are you waiting for? Head on out and plan your vacation now!

Web Sites w/ Pop-Up Advertising

Piss me off! It used to be that pop up advertising was popular among affiliate sites, marketing scams & pyramid schemes. Today, it has become popular among sites such as imdb.com & ehow.com as a way to get their readers to pay a membership fee for ad free interaction. Why is it popular?

Because businesses such as ChaCha, the text answering service have arrived on the scene. Their sites are getting more traffic than ever from guides who spend their free time getting paid a few cents per question to answer things like "Who was Julia Roberts married too?"

The free traffic to their sites from links that are sent with those answers aren't enough for these popular web sites. Instead, Guides are shying away from sources like Imdb.com or ehow.com to avoid these ads that may take a minute or more to load. Time is money to these people, and if your site isn't going to load quickly, it isn't going to get used.

Greed not only takes its toll on internet users everywhere, but their greed will eventually take its toll out of their profits as people like me get tired of waiting for the tiresome advertisements to load. We will find other sources boys & girls.

Hell's Kitchen

Hell's Kitchen closed another season last night.  Imagine my surprise when I was right!  Congratulations to Danny for his impressive win.  It was a calm night compared to most nights.  Not enough screaming and yelling, but in the end, I was still brought to tears by this young man.  

I'll try to do my best Ramsey impression...ready?  

"Sad to cry over a show, yes?"

"Get a GRIP!"

"Madame, madame!  What are you thinking?!!!"

Gonna miss you, Ramsey!  Hurry up with the next season!

Hell's Kitchen

The season finale of Hell's Kitchen is tomorrow night! Chef Paula & Chef Danny will fight it out for the grand prize, becoming the Executive Chef of the Borgata in Atlantic City. I can't wait to see how it ends! I started watching just a few weeks ago, so of course, I went online to watch the beginning of the season. I would never have guessed that Danny would make it this far. He was a screw up at first with a cocky attitude that just begged for Ramsey to kick his butt in my opinion. However, after watching last season, I think that Danny will be the one to go the distance and win the prize.

Ramsey likes a person who believes in their own abilities, and he has age on his side. At 23, he has a long career ahead of him. Who better to teach than a young gun who will learn it your way, and do it your way for the rest of his life?

I don't know how these people do it though. If he spent his time getting in my face and yelling "you stupid cow!", we would come to blows before I made it through my first dinner service. Yes, that is what makes it amusing and funny for the rest of TV land, but ohhhhh boy, those insults just keep on coming. Perhaps the rewards are worth the insults.  

This is Ramsey's fifth season, producing excellent chef's along the way.  He is successful, despite repeatedly kicking chef after chef out of the kitchen.  I would love to spend a night in Hell's Kitchen, close enough to hear the shouting at the pass.  We love to hang on his every word, waiting to hear those words that start with f just spilling out of his mouth.

At any rate, I am anxiously awaiting Thursday night. Inquiring minds need to know...who will win? Paula or Danny? Both are awesome but...

Danny has my vote!

Do The Geeks On Time Bump!

It has been a while since I ragged on Geeks On Time. I have been watching our traffic for the posts regarding them, and we are still getting a ton of hits. I need some comments though guys. My husband managed to get his money out of them a while ago, but I do not want to see the rest get lost in the shuffle.

What are you all doing with them? Getting any results? It seems that there are so many who have done work and still not gotten paid for their efforts. They are still accepting applications on their web site. It is a shame that more people will be taken advantage of with their little scam that is going on.

We cannot let this ride, as so many people prefer to work at home. With job markets the way they are, and the economy still rocky, work at home has become an option for many including stay at home moms & dads. So let's get rockin' and fill in the work at home community.

Have you gotten paid? How long have you been waiting? Is Venus still ignoring phone calls? Anyone started a law suit? My inquisitive (read...nosy...) mind needs to know!

Sugar Bush Primitives - Hand Made Soap

Some people love chocolate, some spend a pile of money on wine. I spend a minor amount of my hard earned cash on my favorite treat...soap! Yes, I admit it, I indulge in luxurious showers and baths, complete with candles, soft music, a glass of wine and...see where this is going...soap! How can soap be my favorite treat? It usually dries the skin among other things. But, hand made soap? Now here's a treat you do not want to miss!

Have you ever tried a bar of real, home made soap? Chances are, if you have, you have never gone back to the stuff we buy in the grocery store. Hand made soap is simply good. It is better for your skin, because it is made in a natural process by people who have researched, experimented, tested (many times on their friends & family...I'd pay a membership fee to test this stuff for crafters!) and finally found a recipe that makes a great product that smells great, works better than anything you'll get off the grocer's shelf and is kind to your skin.

My little stash of heaven was getting low, so I decided to try a new product from a crafter I hadn't bought from before. Yes, I believe in supporting small, home businesses when I can! I called upon Sugar Bush Primitives in my search through the web for a great product at a decent price. As I searched their site, I realized this is a busy bunch of gals. Not only do they offer hand made soap, but candles and primitive needfuls and more is available from Sugar Bush.

Their prices were awesome as far as I was concerned. They offered a variety of wonderful scents. The shopper in me decided to try several, because after all, good prices, decent shipping prices and a great web site that is often updated means a company that takes pride in their products. So I ordered!

I'm a cynic! Ordering from the web always provides a potluck experience for dinner. You might get what you ordered, you might not. It is a chance we take when we try a new business that we have never heard of. Imagine my surprise when Mary from Sugar Bush answered my e-mails within an hour or so. Even more surprising, within a day, I had an e-mail that told me my soap (yummy..can't wait...planning my bath already!) had been shipped, and I had a tracking number to keep an eye on my package's process through the postal service.

Within a few days, my Sugar Bush Primitive Soaps had arrived. My medley of scents included Country Roads, Raspberry Jasmine, Country Apple and Berry Pickin'. Mary had included a sample bar of a Lavender soap that is now one of my favorites. Though I have not used them all...some indulgences simply need to wait for a good time...I have tried my Country Roads soap. It was my first choice because a description from Mary stated that it was great for men, but when no one was looking...she would sneak a bar into her bath too!

I'm tellin' ya ladies and gents if you have never used a bar of hand made soap, hop on over to Sugar Bush, buy a bar for $3.50 and sneak into a hot tub. You won't regret it!

Psst...

Maybe I'll decide to share one day! If you would like to see a soap giveaway, shoot me a message here.
