~ The other day I got on this website, typed in the word "poop" and hit "hear word" over and over again for my three year old niece and nephew to their insane delight (uncle debbie was a hit -- then again, it doesn't take much with 3 year olds ...). The site has other applications, of course. Got a pesky word you can never remember how to pronounce ... (like W with nook-ya-ler?)? Type it in and chances are good you won't mess it up again. ('cept W, of course ...)

Anybody ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Upload a photo of yourself and this website will give you a list. It's a hoot ... and addictive. I tried 3 different photos which turned up the following matches: Patricia Arquette, Ian Thorpe, JK Rowling, Agnetha Fältskog (of the fab-wah ABBA), Johnny Ramon (gaba gaba hey), Meryl Streep, Marianne Faithful, Barbra Striesand, Princess Diana, Bella Lugosi, Margaret Thatcher and (get this) Signourney Weaver (huh?). Other than Signourney, I think the theme is our rather pronounced probosci's. Fun whether you agree with what they come up with or not.
~ I have to clean out my closet ... and the pile under the coffee table ... and get my tax stuff together (before march please!) ... and make that change on that life insurance policy ... and pay my bills before the 10th of the month ... and ... as the tag line on this site says: sometimes in life you just need to be nagged.
~ A plug for a pal - personal trainer and all 'round fabulous woman Kim Eickhoff and a few collaborators wrote a book to help young kids think and be healthy.
~ All this, and a typeface made out of your handwriting ... the internet is a cool place.
'Cept you're purtier than all those other chicks...

Hey Ms Deborama, stopped by for a visit - love that you want to interview Jon Stewart -You would be PERFECT - talk about taking the lid off - whoohoo - I would LOVE to listen in! I might be naive about matters concerning celebrities - but have yah tried the direct approach - like asking him, or his agent? Does he have a blog?? What blogs might he visit? you could post your request somewhere where he might see it?
All for now-Good luck on this!

Sadly the who-do-you-look-like site doesn't work with Safari, but apparently they're working on it. Love that handwriting site and will definitely try that out. The nagging site, too, might be just what I need to get my life in order! Seriously, the stuff people come up with ... These days I dont' do much browsing around the web looking for cool stuff like this so I am glad you do! Thanks :) Kerstin
