Ever feel the need to throttle your public officials? Please remember that I live in Cook County, Illinois where our motto is vote often. Todd Stroger was voted the Cook County President several months ago (don’t get me going on this one — but let me say I did not vote for him!).
Todd was asked what the biggest challenge facing Cook County. Was his answer the $500 billion budget deficit? No. How about the layoffs that had to occur? Nope. The biggest challenge has been the media. What??!!?? What kind of answer is that????? He is mad because the media has portrayed him in a bad light. Well, let’s see. First, quit hiring your friends and family. Then quit putting them in high paying positions. Then don’t make $20 million in changes to the budget after it has been approved.
All the newspapers did was report it. I guess he’s ticked, because the press didn’t bend over for him.

So hopefully you had a chance to read Part I and Part II.
The fact that Madison needs glasses now made me upset. I am not sure why. I called Bill crying (which if you know me — I don’t cry). I am much better about the whole situation, but I am still not sure about why I reacted the way I did.
So, I have been an emotional wreck (which is so unlike me) all week. That about sums everything up. The weekend can only get better, right?
That brings me to Part III. I had a meeting for a side job on Wednesday. I get there and hook my laptop. Everything seems to go working fine. Then I try to get on the internet, and my computer shuts itself off. I go and turn it back on, and it won’t load. Since I can’t do anything, they send me home.
So again, I call Bill all upset. I went home and got my start-up disks hoping that would solve my problem. Nope. I ended up dropping it off at a computer repair center. It is about 5 am Friday morning, and I have not heard back from them yet. Should I be getting nervous? I am hoping that if I blew up the computer they will tell me soon, so I can start shopping for a new laptop. Even though it is a little less than two years old, it is outdated already (which is so sad).

I received this in an email. I checked it against Snopes, and it is true. I am passing it on, so you can remove your information if it showing up. We luck out. I tried our phone number, and nothing came up.
Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person‘s name and address. If you then hit MapQuest, you will get a map to the person‘s house. Everyone should be aware of this! It‘s a nationwide reverse telephone book.
If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming. Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the MapQuest and directions straight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. Please look up your own number.
In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: Google (http://www.google.com/ ) Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours.
Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone who needs to know this.
Please share this information with friends and family.
