'Tis weeks before Christmas And all over the world People are giving Elfing a whirl. Watch these three nuts Dance for you Who will be next? I haven't a clue.
It's that time of year again. I received my first official 'you've been hit by a snowball' email....so, let the games begin. As a little jump start on the Season....Rosie has been scrooged. Just click here to watch her dance. Looks kinda weird but still...funny.
Change is inevitable. And so it is with Rosie's blog...a new look. There have been lots of people who have complained about the changes. Some say it's too hard to navigate. Others just plain don't like it. I think it suits Rosie. There are some new features....A 'Crafty U' section....Lots of blogger photos. It has the cutting edge design of a remote control on the right side. Everything is still there people. There's even a 'search' button...She's made it fun to take a look at whatever you want to look up. Give it a chance and see how you like it.

Will there be another book signing any time soon? One of Rosie's fans asked this question in the Celebrity Detox section of her blog as posted below:

do u have any more book signings lined up
after the holidays
I'm waiting for her to come a little closer to South Carolina to get mine signed. I heard a rumor that she might be coming to Atlanta. That's close enough for me. Check back for more details. I'm sure there will be many more signings.
On Tuesday November 20, 2007....Rosie O'Donnell will reprise her season 4 role as lottery winner 'Dawn Budge'. Be sure to tune in to FXNetwork for what is described as a series of unfortunate incidents for Dawn Budge....leaving her in need of cosmetic surgery to repair some 'facial disfigurements'. If you are a Rosie fan...this is a chance to see her amazing work on television again.
As posted on her blog, Martha Stewart's mother, affectionately known as 'Big Martha', has passed at the age of 93. Our condolences to Martha and her family. Martha Kostyra was frequently seen on Martha's television program. Such a delightful lady, she often joked that she taught Martha everything she knows. She will truly be missed.
It's no surprise that she has been voted 'Best Celebrity Blogger'. She continues to be outspoken in her beliefs and challenges everyone to read, question and learn. One of her most famous lines is..."If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention." I couldn't agree more, Rosie.
This is the neatest thing I have seen in a long time. An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself. A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor. It's resourcefulness versus power. Who will win? You can find out yourself. Check out the animation here. Alan Becker, the creator, spent three months perfecting this.
Brings back a lot of childhood memories. I remember being fascinated with my first Etch A Sketch. Spending many hours, meticulously creating my masterpiece was not unusual. Then, I encountered my first experience with 'delete'....I accidentally turned it over and all my hard work disappeared.
This online thing is cool as well... the lines are almost as hard to match up though. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
She is a toy poodle. An old, faithful friend. She was 14 years old in July. I'm not really sure when her real birthday is but we celebrate it on July 4th. She was a rescue pet. My son adopted her when her owner wanted to have her put to sleep because her hind knee caps are inverted and therefore she was not 'show dog' material. How sad to know there are people in the world who would dispose of an animal as if it were yesterdays newspaper and never give it another thought. She is such a sweetheart. Temperamental and spoiled rotten. She gets upset when she smells 'people food' and you don't offer her a taste of whatever it is. Forget about any kind of doggie treats. Her favorite treats are Doritos, a slice of cheese or ice cream. I'm afraid she won't be around very much longer. She used to be solid black. Now she's beginning to show signs of aging. Her coat is turning gray and she's lost many of her teeth. I don't think she can see as well as she once did but her hearing is still very good. She has arthritis in her hind legs and sometimes she hops around on three legs. She used to like to go outside and run. Now, all she does is walk around for a few minutes and then wants to come back inside and lay in her bed. She needs to have her legs massaged daily and I do that for her. I tell myself that if/when something happens to her, I won't have another pet. That's probably not true. I love animals and this pet has been such a joy.
What a shame that programs such as Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood only show snippets of 'their' spin on Rosie O'Donnell. This little video shows what a loving person she really is. Makes me smile too, Kelly.
Hitting the #11 spot of Top Blunders is none other than Oprah's wonderkid, Rachel Ray.
You can't walk down the isle of your favorite supermarket without seeing Rachel Ray's face plastered on the side of cracker boxes....among other items.
But, with all the deals comes a lot of backlash. Most people can't tolerate the perky self proclaimed chef, who was called a "bobblehead" by Travel Channel personality Anthony Bouradin.
I, personally, like Rachael Ray. She is so full of energy and seems to be down to earth. Perhaps those who can't stand her are a tad jealous of her huge success.
No, he wasn't 4 years old, he was 14. This was his first attempt at oil on canvas. I tried to encourage him to continue with his painting however, he found his niche in photography. It is his dream to become a professional photographer. I think he has talent in both areas. Had he devoted himself to the canvas, I believe he could have produced some great pieces. But, I'm his mother, so I suppose my opinion is biased. Encourage your children to pursue their passion....even when they take a decidedly different path than what you might hope for them.
we were close to a deal almost done i let it slip in miami causing panic on the studio end
well what can u do
2day there is no deal poof my career as a pundit is over b4 it began
just as well i figure everything happens for a reason bashert - as we say
and on we go
Rumor has it that msnbc wanted Ms. O'Donnell to sign a two year contract. She only wanted a one year contract. It would seem that msnbc would have given her the opportunity to find out if the show was a good fit for her/them.
I can't say that I am happy about this. Even though Rosie is OK with it, her fans are just a tad bit disappointed. She has a huge fan base, many of whom travel great distances for a chance to meet her at a book signing and have their photo taken with her. She spreads yellow to all and Rosie...we send it back to you.
Do you suffer from Tinnitus, the constant ringing in one or both of your ears? I have found these suggestions helpful in dealing with the noise in my left ear.
1. Visit your ENT. Excluding Tinnitus caused by an acoustic neuroma at least brings some peace of mind. When your ENT says "learn to live with it" take him/her seriously.
2. Accept your situation and commit yourself to doing just what the ENT has told you. You may need some help but the vast majority of those with Tinnitus will successfully adjust. Yes, this may take a year or more but remember... there is a strong likelihood you will succeed on your own.
3. Explain your situation to those with whom you live and work. It is likely your Tinnitus will affect your ability to discriminate between multiple sources of sound. This is not to say your ability to hear soft sounds has been diminished but rather that your ability to hear one conversation while another it taking place nearby may be. It sure helps if they are patient with you as you try to understand them in a noisy environment.
4. You all know how important it is to avoid loud sounds. During the habituation period, it is probably more important to avoid silence.
5. When you are interested in something else, and not concentrating on your Tinnitus, notice that you are able to ignore it for that period. I think it important that the noise level you choose to mask your tinnitus otherwise distracts you.
6. Try using a sound machine. I have a Brookstone Tranquil Moments Sound Therapy System on my nightstand. It has 12 different relaxing sounds that will lull you to sleep. I prefer the sound of ocean waves. After about 10 minutes of listening to it I am in never-never land. Some people find the sound of a radio station, at a low volume, will help to take their mind off the Tinnitus.
Learn as much about your condition as you can, at least enough to know that there is no cure. Since it won't kill you, it's important to learn to live with it. Forget about herbal remedies, acupuncture, hypnosis, candles, massage and the rest of the crap out there. Avoid ototoxic drugs. Just do the six simple things outlined above and be patient. You will enjoy absolute silence again some day. *Contributing Editor: Bill Gerrells
After all the good Oprah Winfrey has done for the girls ofJohannesburg, South Africa, it has been discovered that a dormitory parent (a person in a 'trusted position') has been accused of abuse. Ms. Winfrey calls it the most devastating experience of her life. What has the world come to? We can only hope that these girls will receive proper counseling and that justice will be served. Ms. Winfrey opened the school in January. Our thoughts and prayers are with the girls. Not only those who suffered abuse at the hands of the accused, but for all the girls.
I can't wait to start taking photos with my new camera. Now, if I can just figure out all the settings on it! For now, I suppose 'auto' will have to do. Too many settings....too confusing!
There has been much controversy over this tiny tot. She made her first abstract painting while still in diapers and not quite 2 years old. Her big break came when she was 3 and a family friend hung one of her paintings in a coffee shop. By the age of 4 she had her first solo art exhibit. A media feeding frenzy followed, referring to her as a "budding Picasso," a "pint-sized Pollock." In a very short time, this 5 year old has sky rocketed from total obscurity to international acclaim. Her paintings have garnered upwards of $300,000. Some selling for $25,000 each. Yet, the question on everyone's mind is, did she produce the paintings completely on her own or did her father help her? I truly hope she is the real deal. Can you imagine what her artistic talent will be like as she matures? She has already been likened to the great masters of art. A documentary, My Kid Could Paint That has been released to dispel any doubts. What do you think? Is she talented beyond her years or has she been the victim of parents who want to capitalize on a con game?
When will we say....Enough Already? The United States needs a timetable for the withdrawal of the majority of its conventional combat troops from Iraq. For starters, Congress can hold the Bush administration accountable for its many failures on Iraq, from lack of knowledge of the country to its faulty plan to its denial of reality. We all hear about the number of casualties and yet we don't quite comprehend the magnitude of the deaths. What will it take? Perhaps this will open your eyes.
My favorite read, Celebrity Detox, is quickly rising on the best seller list. If you are a fan of Rosie O'Donnell, be sure to check out her latest book. You can order it here. It has been a long time dream of mine to connect with Rosie. The closest I have come is having her respond to 2 of my posts on her blog. I won't give up. I believe in the theory of Six Degrees of Separation and the power of positive thinking.

SAW IV Saw IV is nothing like it's prequel, Saw III. It doesn't have a lot of random and somewhat pointless violence like Saw III, it makes you think and had a good twist which Saw III also lacked. If you go to see Saw IV expecting an average, overly violent, torture porn horror film, I guarantee you will hate this movie. Much like the first "Saw" film, you will be pondering over the final twist for hours. Overall, it's a decent horror flick. Entertaining, with a rather solid script. Keeps you in interested with the usual bloody 'SAW' special effects. I thought it was a little too far fetched in some areas.
My name is Patty. Welcome to my blog. I am a long time fan of Rosie O'Donnell.
After 20 years of working as a dental assistant/X-Ray technician, I decided to change the course of my life. I returned to school and now I am a (Pivot Point trained) registered cosmetologist. I enjoy my chosen profession and love creating new, cutting edge styles. My specialty is color techniques and advanced skin care. I also make beautiful Fitness Hoops and love to introduce others to hooping. I'm an Etsy Entrepreneur and am loving it. I believe if you find something that you love to do, it isn't work....it's a pleasure. Thanks for visiting and please leave a comment on my blog even if it's just to let me know you dropped by!
