I have never been good at 3-D puzzles, and this one is no exception. I had the choice between writing a side-splitting post and trying to unlock the secret hidden message.

Anyone have Nicolas Cage‘ email address?

Good news, Supernanny will be in the metro Phoenix area to hold open auditions this Sunday. They say they are looking for a wide variety of situations, whether its a set of divorced parents, parents of bullies, or if you’re preparing for a large event like a family reunion. The Stagebrush Theater, at 7020 East Second St in old downtown Scottsdale is hosting the event. (Hmmm…. if I were to offer to drive my neighbor, I wonder if she’d be willing to go……….)

If you’re interested, call their toll free number, 877-NANNY-TIME (877-626-6984) to make sure that AzCentral.com posted the correct information . I just checked the official website and there was no mention of any open calls in Arizona, but then again, maybe their web master misbehaved and is spending time in the naughty chair.

I don’t claim to understand everything about the internet, but I sure know when my connection is as slow as a scorpion in winter. I looked at the Internet Traffic Report, and it shows a 100 percent packet loss for Arizona. I hope they get it fixed soon, I had a post ready to go, just needs pictures but uploading right now is pretty much impossible. I don’t mean to whine, but right now, I am yearning for the relatively fast speed of a dial up connection.

Fisherman Edward Pothier of Digby County, Nova Scotia must have been surprised when he discovered a rare two colored lobster in a recent catch. According to the news article, lobsters
are usually brownish black, but can also be yellow, blue, and albino as well, although blue lobsters are considered to be rare, and the odds of catching one are approximately one in two million. Pothier’s acquisition is being given to the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Canada’s largest center for ocean research. Scientist Doug Pezzack said it will probably go on display, and may be used as an educational tool as well. Some claim that the odds of finding such a lobster is one in 50 million or more, although Pezzack says it could be as low as one in 10 million.

There aren’t too many free range lobsters here in Arizona, and I’m not very familiar with the subject. I decided to do a bit of research on them and was surprised to find a picture of another duo-chromatic crustacean. This one was caught by Alan Robinson of Steuben, Maine in 2006 and was donated to Maine’s Mount Desert Oceanarium. The staffers there say they have only received three two-toned lobsters in 35 years, and the odds of finding one like Robinson’s is about 1 in 50 million.

Anyone else notice that these lobsters are mirror images of each other? One is red on the right side, and the other is red on the left side. Kind of reminds me of that Star Trek episode where the two aliens looked alike, but hated each other nonetheless. Do you think the scientists will pit the lobsters together for a fight to the death?

This adorable little boy named Adam was abandoned by his family at a restaurant in Mesa, Arizona. His grandparents or someone in this country must be missing his sweet face.. His mother and/or father are despicable creatures for leaving him, but he must have a relative out there that can identify him, tell him his last name, and save him from having to live at group home.Even if you don’t live in Arizona, if you have a blog, please consider posting this story. You don’t have to link back to me, just help spread the word that this poor little child was deserted. With everyone’s help, maybe someone in the U.S. will recognize him, step forward, claim him and also tell the authorities who Adam’s parents are.

NEW INFORMATION: I posted this story on Monday, and today (Tuesday March 11) Pearl Yonko, 29, has stepped forward and said she is Adam’s mother. She claims that Adam was supposed to be with a relative, but she also admitted that she never checked to make sure that he arrived at the relative’s home. I’m glad to know that the Mesa Police are going to request that the City Prosecutor file a criminal charge of neglect against her.

I am leaving this post standing as a reminder to all parents to make sure to teach your child basic information. Poor Adam allegedly didn’t know his last name, or his parent’s names. If you’re going to take your child to a public place and allow them to be out of arm’s reach, then you better make sure they know who they are. I am beyond appalled at this “mother’s” lack of care and concern for this beautiful little boy. Am I the only one that thinks that maybe she shouldn’t get her son back for a good, long time?

(Yeah, I know Sunday’s almost over. Let’s just say that I’m getting an early start for next week.)

If you’re trying to make money online with more than one site, I think it’s smart to have more than one host. There are lots of horror stories about bloggers and site owners that get stranded when their current host goes belly up, mistakenly overcharges them, or even suspends their account.

I just took a look at Website Hosting offered by ImHosted.com and I think they have some great features and competitive prices. Check them out to see what they have to offer. And while you’re looking, don’t think of how much having an extra host will cost you, think of how much money you’ll lose if all your sites crash because you’re only using one host.
