Bonds is Out

After 15 years as a together, Barry Bonds and the Giants have decided to split up.  Barry says that he is not sad or surprised the Giants won’t sign him again.  It is really almost too long these days for a star in the MLB to still be with the same team.  Most of them are moving around and taking mulitple teams to the penant race.

Barry Bonds is old, accused of using drugs, the homerun kill, but he is not done.  Until he gets a broken anything, he should be able to play for at least 5 more years.  We’ll see how it goes.  Good luck to him!

Linky Love Post

I made a promise that I would add the first 10 people that replied to this post, to my blogroll AND add a link to their blog in this post.  So here goes.  First things first, I would like to mention http://bloggingcents.com/.  The blog is a refreshing look at deals, freebies and more.  I especially like the post about the “NORMAL FREAKS”.  There are also multiple blogs in their network.  Secondly, I would like to mention http://lisareviews.com/.  This blog has reviews on things that you wouldn’t normally see online.  A lot of people do movies or department stores, but who does Oncor Pop Em’s:)   I like the posts and I think the reviews are sincere.  Third on today’s list is http://www.starryskye.org/blog.  This blog I have been lurking around for a little while.  I am glad that she wanted to be on my blogroll and I also noticed she put my link on hers, thanks!  I like the design and colors of this blog and the posts are very nicely written, putting me in the everyday workings of a mother staying at home.  I was intrigued by this post about a pregnant tick.  Enjoy the reading on this one.  Last but not least, I would like to add http://www.bratshannon.com.  This blog has been around awhile and with plenty of updates, you have to check back just to keep up on things.  Random posts like this one, make this blog fun to read on a daily basis.

Hey Bill Gates, is it lonely on top?

Yes, Bill Gates is America’s richest man for the 14th year in a row!  I ask myself, “Bill Gates, is it lonely on top?”  It must be boring after all these years.  It’s the same thing over and over.  Don’t have enough money?  Don’t be surprised, you need to have over 1.3 billion to even make the list of the top 25 richest in America.

Bill Gates’ net worth is 59 billion, that’s how you get to the top of the list in Forbes Magazine.

Welcome to my Crib, oh wait, there was a recall…

Cribs have been recalled after the deaths of 2 babies.  1 million cribs to be exact.  Chinese cribs to be exact.  Wtf, is up with the Chinese lately?  Poisoning food, toys and building faulty cribs, now?  lol.  I have to say that it hasn’t been a good couple of months for the Chinese export business.

Sources revealed that the problem arose from a hardware and design flaw that allowed an incorrect installation of the part. Meanwhile, the world’s largest toymaker Mattel Inc. took the blame for design problems. The toymaker, which makes about 65 percent of its toys in China, apologized for the lapse.

Stating that the problem with the hardware could have gone either way and once found, they acted as quickly as possible. Was it that, or did it take 2 deaths to get the ball rollling?
