Okay last Friday I posted a great learning tool from Dell, so I would think any of my readers might realize I love to learn and I think it is something we should do each and every day. With that in mind I want to give you value for your Friday freebie, not just a code, or a physical freebie but something that can enrich you. For me that makes sense. It may even help you make cents. I believe Education is the key.
That is why when I came across Academic Earth I knew I had to share about this great site here. Do you want to learn from some of America’s top scholar’s? Lecturers from Havard, Yale, MIT, Berkley, and Princeton. Do you want to listen in to a university level course? Do you want to learn? If so check out America Earth. You will find lectures from courses taught on such Economics, Law, Philosophy, and the list goes on. In some cases a whole lecture series can be listened to. For me this freebie makes sense as this mom loves to learn.
Now an update on my No Spending Challenge. I had to spend $12.54 cents yesterday that was not in the budget. Why? We have a new family member: a guinea pig named Cinnamon. The money was spent on supplies.
Today I begin a self challenge, not to spend any cash unless it is the money for food in my food envie.
Okay I am late on the latest social media phenomena, but last week I finally got it together and started Tweeting.
Last year my daughter Roo and I thought it was a common sense idea to give a little back to the Earth and we participated in Earth Hour.
Welcome to my common sense corner of the world! I have some hot chocolate ready! Would you like a cup?
Fox Comedians Get It Wrong
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcJn5XlbSFk]
Okay this common sense mom really doesnt ussually make political statements often but this is just WRONG!
First I must say this I personally know one of our Canadians who died in Afghanistan, maybe that is why yesterday as four more of our dead came home from this war on terror it really made me mad. As it did many other Canadians.
How many Canadians have now died in this fight on terror? 116 in Afghanistan.
Theses comedians basically mocked thier service, nice job there! Did you know Canadians basically take care of most things done in the south of Afghanistan an area hardly touched by US soldiers. Did you know the first 4 Canadians killed thier weren’t at the hands of terrorists but killed by US soldiers who didn’t know where to point thier guns.
I think before you can mock another country and thier military you need to look at the problems within your own. Perhaps these comedians should take thier acts to a local VA hospital, it might open thier eyes a bit. The US does a horrid job in how they treat past soldiers, and to me that is a shame( as the ex wife of one this is fact).
I think the show needs to go, and all of them thier that night, well let’s just say I hope none of them are crossing the border anytime soon.
Now this common sense mom will get back to what I love to do, just had to vent.
