What shall I post...hm....

OK, fine, ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY- NOVEMBER 21

-NOV 21, 1789- North Carolina, my favorite state, became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Thank God for that!

-NOV 21, 1973- President Richard Nixon's attorney, J. Fred Buzhardt, revealed the existence of an 18 1/2-minute gap in one of the White House tape recordings related to Watergate. (I was always so fascinated with the Watergate Scandal. I even did my high school Senior project on it. Something about political scandals really caught my interests. And I have always loved CIA-type movies. All the "Bourne" movies or anything having to do with CIA endeavors. I really don't know why, it just totally fascinated me that we have this whole secret world in the U.S. that we're not really informed about. )

-NOV 21, 1995- The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 5,000 for the first time. (Remember the good ole' days...oh, times they do change.)

-Nov. 21, 2007- Officials announced the recall of more than a half-million pieces of Chinese-made children's jewelry contaminated with lead. (This just really upsets me. How can so many toys be recalled. Why aren't children's products tested and tested until everything is CERTAIN that it can do no harm. I think this is ridiculous.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY TO -- Ken Griffey, Jr., Bjork, Troy Aikman, Goldie Hawn, Lorna Luft, Marlo Thomas

i enjoy google!

I must say, I love GOOGLE. They have done so much for the Internet and our world, that I just love everything they do. So I am here to spread the word about one of their free services I just stumbled over.

GOOGLE HEALTH!

It's fantastic! It allows you to keep track of everything medical in a very easy way. It's almost fun to do. Eventually, I think it will be easy for doctors to see you medical history through this so you don't have to fill out 800 papers about your medical history. Check it out and keep track, because we tend to forget the negative things that happened in the past. Keep good records! Also, if you're computer ever crashes or your house burns down, at least GOOGLE will still have your medical history.
