Thankful Thursday!

I am Thankful

that my cousin has been in 9 hours of intense surgery today and is just now coming out and has made it through. He went in believing he would not be with us anymore. Now, just rest Carl, get better, so you can go home in 10 days. So happy he is through this. 

I am Thankful 

for the article on the sweeteners. I got my mother to stop all artificial sweeteners and I am excited to see how she is doing in a couple of weeks.  Here's the link if you want to check it out..  aspartame-sweet-poison-youve-been-warned

I'm Thankful

that today was so beautiful and Sammy and I got out in it for awhile.

I'm Thankful 

Don's coming back home tomorrow. He's been in California all week. Sammy and I miss him.

I'm Thankful 

it's Mardi Gras time in Galveston. Can't wait to go.

I'm Thankful

that my Sammy Boy is so healthy and happy. I was at Petsmart today and a lady had to have her furbaby put down. She was heartbroken. I felt so so sad for her. I can't even bare to think about that day with Sammy.

It's OK Thursday!

It's OK

that I am obsessed with exercising and eating right this week. I have a weigh in to win.

It's OK

that I only walked 4 miles instead of 6 today. I had Sammy with me and just didn't think he could do the 6 miles right now. So 4 it was!

It's OK

that Don laughs at me for playing the lottery. The Florida Lottery has helped put Laci through 4 years of college with their "Bright Futures of America" program, so I know they do a lot of good with at least part of the money. Plus, you can't win if you don't play. And I have every intention of winning the lottery. Period!

It's OK

that Don has been in California all week, he will be back tomorrow. 

It's OK

that it's ok!

How Accurate Is Snopes.com?

How Accurate Is Snopes.com?

18.05.2009 | Author: The Frog Prince | Posted in For Members, METRO NEWS HEADLINES, Online, political, US News

This questioned has been asked to me more than a few times. You be the judge of the “authoritative source.”

“For the past few years www.snopes.com has positioned itself, or others have labeled it as the ‘tell-all, final word’ on any comment, claim and e-mail. But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes.com.

Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it -kinda makes you wonder what they were hiding. Well, finally we know. It is run by a husband and wife team – that’s right, no big office of investigators and researchers, no team of lawyers. It’s just a mom-and-pop operation that began as a hobby. David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the website about 13 years ago – and they have no formal background or experience in investigative research. After a few years it gained popularity believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation? The reason for the questions – or skepticism’s is a result of snopes.com claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or issues, when in fact, they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the ‘true’ bottom of various issues.
When I saw that Snopes had falsely claimed that Obama’s Birth Certificate had been properly validated, I realized something was wrong with either their research and/or their credibility. It seems something is seriously wrong with both.
Then a few months ago, when my State Farm agent, Bud Gregg, in Mandeville hoisted a political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across the Internet, supposedly the Mikkelson’s claim to have researched this issue before posting their findings on snopes.com. In their statement they claimed the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when in fact nothing of the sort ever took place. I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the bottom of this, and I gave him Bud Gregg’s contact phone numbers. Bud was going to give him phone numbers to the big exec’s at State Farm in Illinois who would have been willing to speak with him about it. He never called Bud. In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg no one from snopes.com ever contacted anyone with State Farm. Yet snopes.com issued a statement as the ‘final factual word’ on the issue as if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things.

Not!

So, I say this now to everyone who goes to www.snopes.com to get what they think to be the bottom line facts: Proceed with caution. Take what it says at face value and nothing more. Use it only to lead you to their references where you can link to and read the sources for yourself. Plus, you can always Google a subject and do the research yourself. It now seems apparent that’s all the Mikkelson’s do. After all, I can personally vouch from my own experience for their ‘not’ fully looking into things.”

Check it out and in the future when someone wants to “snopes.com” you, send them a link:

Just wanted to share this with everyone.
