Nadya Suleman visited Oprah for the second time around and this time it was to ask for financial help to keep herself and her fourteen children off of the street. Nadya insisted to Oprah that she was both "financially destitute" and "emotionally depleted." Oprah arranged for Nadya to meet with Suze Orman to help with her financial crisis. Although Orman seemed to have been reluctant to work with Nadya at first, she did step in and help the single mother of fourteen. Orman probably gave Nadya the best advice there could ever possibly be; to pray and let go of her pride. She told Nadya to stop refusing to get an agent. She has to support those children. Nadya was very much concerned with how people would depict her if she hired an agent or accepted government funded help. She even said she thought people would hate her. Suze's response was; "Everybody thinks you’re crazy for having eight kids. You know it" After that, Orman pretty much told the single ma

Has your sign really changed? Probably not according to Claudine Zap's article, "Has Your Horoscope Changed." The article explains that there are different branches of astrology. A popular Eastern form of astrology looks to the background stars as its guide. Whereas Western astrology uses the zodiac and is fixed to the seasons. The Zodiac signs are guided by star signs, and the zodiac is based on our relationship to the sun, not the stars. Claudine states that "Most Westerners, and all those horoscope pages we eagerly check, go by the zodiac. These signs follow what early astrologers called star signs, whose reference points are the tropics that form a ring around the earth. The zodiac is based on our relationship to the sun, not the stars." So here's the issue: Around 2,000 years ago the astrological signs and the astronomical ones were the same, but they're not anymore. The locations of the signs are based on the sun's location on the first day o

Children have enjoyed playing Super Mario Brothers on the Gameboy, DS, Super Nintendo, GameCube, Nintendo 64 and Wii. When I was a kid, we played Mario on this: The original Nintendo Duck Hunt was one of my favorite games. It was a simple game, just shoot the ducks. The dog laughs at you when you lose and then you try again. On ScrewAttack.com, BillyTheGardenGnome lists the laughing dog (shown above) as number 12 in his article titled, "Top 50 Useless Video Game Characters of All Time: 25-11." I disagree. If he wasn't there, who would hold the ducks up by their necks when you win??? Check out this Fun House below. It was built as a tribute to Nintendo

Who remembers waiting, with a blank cassette tape in the deck of your boombox, hoping that the radio station would play your favorite song so you could record it? My children found these tapes the other day and my 9 year old daughter asked, "What's this?" I replied, "Tapes." As if she should have already known what they were. "What kind of tapes are these ?" That was the question that interrupted what I was doing and lead me to explaining how CDs, MP3s and MP4s weren't around when I was younger. There were no MP3s to drag and drop files to in my childhood. We waited for our favorite songs to play on the radio, so we could record them, or we bought our favorite artists' tape from the store. The last time I owned a cassette player, I was around fifthteen years old. At that time CD players had already been introduced and my dad had a nice collection of CDs that he did not want me to touch. My tape collection included a variety of artists including

ME: You're NOT behaving and you told me that you would be good & follow directions. HER: I told you that, but I am trying. ME: I don't want to hear that you're trying! Go to bed right NOW!
