I did have every intention on writing something today, but after a weekend of sick kids, I don’t have it in me. Instead, here are some links to Financial News on the internet today.
Why We Borrow Until It Hurts
Leveraging Lets Us Gain in the Short Term — and That’s When We Stop Thinking
The U.S. is Choking on Debt Financed Expansion
There is a marked difference between economic growth and debt-induced demand. Instead of letting the market take its medicine and enter recession in 2001, the powers that be injected fiscal and monetary drugs to dull the pain and induce stock gains.
Ellison’s New Yacht
Larry Ellison already owns the second-largest private yacht in the world — his 454-foot Rising Sun. Now, he’s building another one.
So my boyfriend is sick and yesterday he had an episode where he couldn’t breath. He was making this horrible wheezing sound and his eyes looked like they were sinking in because he was trying so hard to breath. I immediately dumped out my purse, grabbed my phone and called 911 (in Mississauga).
I told the woman that my boyfriend couldn’t breath and gave her my address. During the call he started to be able to breath normally again and coughed. She asked, “Is that him coughing?” I said it was, and that he was able to breath again. She started insinuating that I was lying about the reason I was calling for an ambulance. She said “I don’t get it, a minute ago you said he couldn’t breath, and now you’re saying that he’s fine.” It wasn’t until I started crying that she finally believed that I was telling the truth.
Now I know that these people probably get a lot of prank calls and people trying to abuse the system, but that doesn’t mean that they should make people feel that they shouldn’t have called when they’ve had a genuine emergency!
What happened to me is not nearly as bad as some stories I have heard. Recently, I read online that an operator from the US was sentenced to a year in jail because she dismissed a call from a 5 year old who was saying that his mother had passed out. She allegedly told him that it was just a prank and ended the call. They found the woman dead 3 hours later.
I also saw an emergency show on TV where a woman was being attacked by two big dogs. She called 911 and the operator let minutes go by while trying to figure out if it was a prank as the woman was being bitten and torn apart. They did finally rescue the woman….but come on!
This kind of thing should NOT happen. 911 is there for a reason. Action should be taken immediatly and the person should be treated with respect unless there is good reason to suspect otherwise.
If anyone has a similar story please post it in the comments section.

I was at 219.2 pounds, totally naked. Then after I got out, I remembered the old saying “He barely weighs “insert number” soaking wet. So I stepped on the scale again while soaking wet and I was at 219.8 pounds.
My body holds 0.6 pounds of water while totally soaked!
I know you wanted to know this… maybe next time if you are lucky I will review a pen, or give you some tips on getting dressed in the morning!
Are you Foxy? Subscribe to our Newsfeed!For some reason I cannot put my finger on, people on a lot of the blogs I read take pictures of the food they eat, and then put it on their blog. So I thought I would do the same thing!
First I started out with a nice burger, isn’t it great! Burgers = Bloggers
Then I had a plate of whatever the hell this is. Food make you earn more money!
Then I ate a ton of hot dogs because I love blogging!
Then is was time for dessert. Don’t you love this post? It’s about my dinner! I had 3 whole cakes!
Then I finished it all off with an obsurdly oversized beer! Enjoy my posts on food, I command it!
Try and guess what they are selling…
Are you Foxy? Subscribe to our Newsfeed!As everyone knows, the arm is far less israeli than one equal gambling. The original per_cent wept a gaming meagerly. That online gambling has a late casino games. I overlaid that week in favour of one party. I grinned that online gambling besides the casino games. Gaming packed an online casino.
I know, I said I was not going to bother with looking through the spam folder anymore but I was bored.
I beamed that mother across from this online. One standard hasard wetted behind the loud game. One gambling is coherently long. It’s great to be unsaddled! I read that state onto a century. A violent casino mowed some hasard thickly.
Nice.
Are you Foxy? Subscribe to our Newsfeed!Today while I was watching TV I came across an infomercial that I’m sure you’ve seen before. It’s that charismatic guy named Kevin Trudeau selling his “‘Natural Cures’ they Don’t Want You to Know About” books. Normally when I see this I am mildly interested but never enough to actually spend money. This time was different; he was offering his books for FREE! Can you believe it? All you have to do is pay the shipping and you will receive the books for free!
I figured there must be a catch but it can’t hurt to find out what that is right? So I called and asked for the free books. The woman I was speaking to got my credit card info and started going through a laundry list of other products and services they were offering. Weight loss secrets book? Quit smoking book? Inspirational tapes you can play in your car? I said no to most of them except for 2 additional books for $10 each which I figured I could give away as gifts.
Then she asked if I would like to transfer to someone else to hear about a free vacation package they were offering. Sure I said (I’m always into free stuff). “Is that a YES?” she asked. Wondering why I had to use that exact word, I repeated my answer with a “yes”.
When I was passed to the next person, he somehow convinced me to allow him to charge $193 to my credit card for Florida stays worth a total of 10 days at various hotels, along with a 2 person pass for Disney Land, all i had to do was sit through 90 minute time share meetings. I got off the phone feeling like I might have just been duped. I immediately went online and looked up the company that I had bought the package from. Their company name is Summer Bay Resorts and I didn’t have any trouble finding scam reports on them.
This got me thinking, if Kevin Trudeau would associate himself with a company like this, then what kind of guy is he? Should I be listening to anything he says?
I of course looked him up, and got my answer. I read in this cleverly titled article “What Kevin Trudeau Doesn’t want you to Know” that in addition to being fined millions of dollars for making false claims, and spending 2 years in jail for credit card fraud, he has been banned from “appearing in, producing, or disseminating future infomercials that advertise any type of product, service, or program to the public” for the rest of his life. Could this be why he’s giving the books away for free? He’s not selling the products in the infomercial; he’s getting people to call and he’s selling the products over the phone. Clever boy.
I have 7 days to cancel my vacation package, which I will be doing immediately. I may also try to cancel my book order. I’m not sure if it’s even worth the cost of shipping.
Are you Foxy? Subscribe to our Newsfeed!I am sorry, but I will no longer be going through the comments filtered out by Akismet. After this weekend there were over 250 sitting there and only one that was not spam. So I would just like to appologize now. If your comment does not show up here, it’s because it either got flagged as spam, or it was stupid and I deleted it.
Thats right, I might not have time to reply to every comment, but I do read them all. And yes, if it’s a stupid comment that does nothing but waste bandwidth, I wll delete it. Doesn’t happen very often, and everything else gets published. Even if it’s an insult or jab at us or the site. Should I stop rambling now?
