I originally had a different post ready to make about Twitter, and the title was “What’s the Big Deal with Twitter?”
Fortunately, I decided to do a search for that sentence first. I was amazed at how many results I received from that!
So I took it a step further and searched for:
“Why is Twitter so popular?”
“Twitter is Stupid”
And last but not least, “Twitter is Dumb”
It is AMAZING at how many other people online have the same thoughts as I do. There are dozens, if not hundreds of posts/topics that include these sentences!
So why does the majority of Internet Users think that Twitter is so great or special? Why is always advertised all over the television, radio and internet?
At least with Facebook and Myspace, there are so many more things to! You have applications, tags… you have FUN.
What is FUN about twitter?
“I am scratching my nose”
“I am surfing the internet”
“I am sitting here drinking a glass of coca cola”
“I am walking out of my house”
“I am getting into my car”
“I am on my way to the Grocery Store”
SO? There are so many things I can be doing INSTEAD of just telling people what I am doing every hour!
I found an article that is funny and true on MSNBC.msn.com
I hope my readers will take the time to visit and perhaps even vote on your opinion of Twitter.

Simple Home Remedy
One very simple Home Remedy that can cure many things, including but not limited to: Arthritis, Indigestion, High Cholesterol, Allergies (and much more)
2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 1 tablespoon of (local) Honey.
This is not just an old wives tale, it is the truth. I have used it myself and I’ve known many others that have used it. Most people feel relief of their symptoms within a couple of days.
It is quite strong and doesn’t taste so great, but there are ways to get around that. You can mix it with water, sweet tea, or another beverage of your choice. Just try experimenting and mixing it with other drinks until you find it tolerable to drink.
For people who hate to medications, this Home Remedy is the perfect answer.

Tips To Lower Your Cholesterol Quickly
After being told that my bad Cholesterol was very high, (and put on Liptor, wow, this medicine is expensive!!) I was determined to assist my Cholesterol come down as quickly as possible.
I received a Diet Sheet from my Doctors office and did a lot of research on my own, and I managed to bring my Cholesterol (Triglycerides) down nearly 50% in 7 weeks, and my LDL down about 40%
Keep in mind, Fat grams is what causes your LDL to go and/or stay up - so this Diet is a
Low Cholesterol and Low Fat Diet
Absolutely No Fried Foods
Absolutely No Chocolate or Pastries
Absolutely No White Bread (Wheat is best)
Absolutely No Regular Ground Hamburger Meat
Absolutely No Vegetable Oil or Shortening. (Safe: Olive Oil, Canola Oil, Low Fat Margarine)
No canned meats (There is a Turkey Chili that is ok)
No Egg Yolks
No Poultry Skin
No Whole Milk (use Fat free milk for cooking; Macaroni & Cheese, Corned Bread, Fat Free Pudding)
No Bologna
No Frankfurters (However, a couple of times a month, I have tried the turkey frankfurters, (aka weenies) with the Turkey Chili)
Any sandwich meat must be at minimum 95% fat free
Other Tips:
Trim all fat from meats
All fruits and vegetables are good to eat.
Although there is some argument over Soda Pop, it is actually best if you can cut down on them.
Stay away from Fast Food Restaurants! (Subway is ok, lots of low fat subs to choose from. And no, I’m not advertising for them. lol)
Daily Nutritional Values
You DO have to read the Nutritional Value on anything and everything that you eat. You want to keep your Saturated Fat below 10 grams a day and your Cholesterol below 100 mg a day if you want to drop your Cholesterol Level QUICKLY.
If your Cholesterol is not that high, or you are in no hurry to drop your bad Cholesterol Levels, then follow the Nutritional Value Chart listed on most food items. (Which usually states: Saturated Fat 20-25 grams a day and Cholesterol 300 mg a day)

Myth: Caffeine During Pregnancy
Myth: Drinking Caffeine during Pregnancy will cause you to have a hyper active child.
During my first pregnancy, I believed this and stopped drinking all caffeine products immediately. I did not have caffeine again until after I gave birth to my child.
However, with my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies, I really questioned this myth and did not stop drinking caffeine products.
All of my children are healthy and not one of them are overly hyper, or suffer from any Hyper Activity disorder at all.
I am not sure where this myth originated from or how many studies were performed on pregnant women before people started spreading this rumor; but as far as I’m concerned, it is nothing more than a myth.

BlogExplosion
What a laugh! This website obviously has illiterate individuals who view the blogs to determine if they are eligible or not.
After submitting my site, this is the email I received from them:
BlogExplosion is not currently accepting blogs/sites about how to make money online. We are planning on reviewing our guidelines based on member feedback so it is possible that our policies may change.
Site reviewed:
Reviews and Articles
http://mstokes1.blogspot.com
Ha Ha. No where on this blog have I listed an Affiliate Program, nor have I listed any Money Making Sites or Programs.
I did do a REVIEW on SFI - The post below this one - But as you can clearly see, I do not recommend it to anyone. (Read the post…. Really)
So why would a website representative read one title of one post and assume that you are doing something else other than what you are really doing?
I am trying to help others with my Reviews on Products, Services and Websites. And hopefully spread the word about the good things out there, and warn people about the “not so great” things out there.
It is sites that this (BlogExplosion) that disgusts me.
So if you are looking for Blog Directories or a place to submit your site, beware of this one! Your site will only be partially reviewed.
Update August 5, 2009: I contacted them via their website and received a reply within 2 days. A different reviewer visited my blog, and actually took the time to browse through.
So I guess like many (or most) other sites online, there's atleast one rotten apple.
