Bailout Money Bonuses?!

AIG (American International Group, Inc.) is a major insurance corporation based at the American International Building in New York City. AIG made huge, bad bets on the housing market that have so far cost taxpayers $170 billion in bailout money. But this company gave it’s employees $450 million in bonuses! This is outrageous! Any company that is so bad off that it needs bailout money should not be allowed to give out bonus money to anyone! They helped to destroyed our economy, and now their executives are being rewarded with bonuses?! WTF!

I love Twitter!

If you are not currently using Twitter, then you are probably thinking, who cares about my random thoughts or I don’t care about other people’s thoughts. Or maybe you’re thinking, who has time for another social networking site? Well, today I’m glad to be a twitter user.

Last week I posted a random tweet, something like, “Cindy is running out of disk space”, I don’t recall my exact words, but today my neighbor dropped of a brand new Seagate 250GB external USB hard drive! WOW! Thanks so much Jon! You are awesome!

I’ve been holding off on upgrading my computer because I’m hoping Window 7 will be better than Vista. This new drive will not only save me money, but will buy me some time and give my files some breathing room before I need to upgrade.

Molly the Giraffe

Molly the Giraffe is big news in our small town. Molly was born at nearby Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon, Massachusetts on February 23, 2009. Molly’s mother Mauzy was not producing enough milk, so Molly was transferred to Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine’s Hospital for Large Animals here in Grafton, where she was nursed back to health. Our small town’s tall tale made it all the way to national television when Molly appeared on NBC’s Today Show.

On March, Molly returned home to Southwick Zoo. She has grown about a foot and is now over 5 feet tall and has gained 20 lbs! She is doing great and is very active. She practices walking and galloping. I’m looking forward to meeting Molly when the zoo reopens this spring.
