Aaron’s Suit Latest in a Chain of Privacy Invasions
I'm sure a lot of people are familiar with Aaron's Rent to Own, a nation-wide rental chain. They have everything from furniture to TVs. But did you know that they have spy programs installed on their computers? One couple didn't until a store manager mistakenly attempted to repossess a computer, and showed them a picture taken with their webcam.The couple called the police and reported the incident.

Sweetie-daaarling! ABSOLUTLEY FABULOUS is Returning!
One of my all-time favorite shows is returing to the air with new episodes; Absolutley Fabulous. Jenifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are reprising their roles as Edina and Patsy, and Jane Horrocks (Bubbles) and Julia Sawalha (Saffy) are returing as well.When the show ended in 1996, Saffy had given birth to a baby boy. Watching Edina and Patsy trying to change diapers and give bottles was hillarious. At one point, Edina even lost the baby and came home with someone elses. It's definetly a guild on how not to raise your kids. Hopefully the show is still reatain it's charm and humor.http://www.showbizspy.com/article/231162/absolutely-fabulous-to-return-joanna-lumley-and-jennifer-saunders-back-as-patsy-and-edina.html ...

In other words, take cover. I'll update a little later. Hopefully I'll still have power.Oh...200 posts!!! WOOO!!!EDIT 4/15/2011 -- We got hail and winds over 60 mph. Better than earlier in the week, although we almost loast a kitchen window. ...

Won't see this gal caught off guard agian. ...
