    Celebrity Grandparents

    Let’s hear it for Grandma and Grandpa! In celebration of National Grandparent’s Day on September 8, we’re taking a look at five famous grandparents and their joys of watching the generations grow. Garth Brooks: Country crooner Garth Brooks recently entered the grandparents club this summer when his middle daughter, 19-year-old August Anna Brooks and boyfriend Chance Michael Russell, welcomed their first child – a girl named Karalynn. Grandpa Garth, 51, has since issued a statement since his first grandchild’s birth: “Our family would first like to thank everyone for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K’s arrival,” he said. “Our children’s lives have always been extremely private and they have been endlessly encouraged to be their own people. We have always wanted them to be individuals and NOT be known as ‘someone’s daughters.’” He added: “I have been amazed and grateful how the press has always respected this. I now ask that respect to please continue as this young family begins the…

  • I Need Your Opinion Please!! One quick vote please!! UPDATED!!!

    The first poll kept locking up….. let’s try this format!! I am toying with the idea of just showing the first paragraph of my blog posts, instead of the entire post. Do you like this? Do you care? Would you rather have the entire post and not have to ‘read more’? Let me know! Pretty please…… .with ranch dressing on top?? I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Bust Ghosts) Updating old blog content is a bit like digital archaeology: you head in to dust the archives and end up unearthing questionable life choices from years ago.

  • Stories of the Golden Age ‘Dead Men Kill’

    Gold Age Stories

    I seriously, canNOT get enough of the L. Ron Hubbard stories of the golden age books on CD. I love them!! They are truly entertainment for the imagination. The books on CD are read with multiple actors, complete with all the sound effects and music to boot. Dead Men Kill. IS BY FAR my favorite yet. It has ZOMBIES!!! ZOMBIES people!! I love Zombies!! Okay, I had no idea that L. Ron Hubbard could make zombies this scary!! These are stories from the 30’s and 40’s! WHO KNEW?!?!?! I listen to my books on cd in the car, I couldn’t wait to go ANYWHERE to finish this book. I was convinced L. Ron Hubbard truly brought zombies back to life, when several of the city’s most respected citizens are inexplicably killed by ZOMBIES!!! Don’t worry you’ll get no spoilers from me!! Detective Terry Lane has very little to go on to solve this mystery. A blue grey glove, a Haitian…

    Kia Forte

    I’ve just had the greatest week!! I’ve been driving a 2014 Kia Forte. OH MAN does this car have perks!! This car is amazing from headlight to tail light! This car is so amazing it’s hard to know where to start!! Outside, the Kia Forte ex is a 4 door sporty looking with very smooth flowing lines. I drove the blue, which I have to admit I’ve never been a blue car fan…. this blue I would OWN!! It’s a stunning shade. The Forte is keyless entry, if you have the key on you just open the door using the little button. Quick and sooooooooo awesome when your hands are full! One amazing perk of the Forte is when you get close to the car the door handle lights UP!!! WHAAA????? YES!! It lights UP!! No fumbling for the door handle. The side mirrors also light up. Now not blazing looking at the sun light up, just a glow. Enough to…
