Big Brother 10 = Big Excitement!

Hey there all you Big Brother Fans... this week on BB10 has been very exciting, hasn't it? I get the feeds and I tell you that right now in the game is always the most crucial. It has been quite the emotional roller coaster. I will admit that I am a Dan fan, so at first I was up high on that roller coaster when Keesha won the HOH, and put up Jerry and Ollie. *spoiler alert* Then when Jerry won HOH, my stomach dropped, and I was so scared. Especially when I learned that he had put up Dan and Keesha. However, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and hooray, Halleluja, Memphis won the POV, and I was so happy to hear him say that he is going to take Dan off the block! That means that Jerry has no choice but to put up Renny. Now, Dan and Memphis and Jerry are all in agreement that Renny should be the one to leave, but then we have Keesha. She's freaking out and crying and saying I'm going to go home...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. This gets Renny suspicious (she's not stupid) and Keesha lets the cat out of the bag and tells her what the boys are planning on doing. Well, we all know that Renny's not going down without a fight. I wouldn't put it past her to try to pull something to get Memphis to change his mind and take Keesha off the block.

At this point in the game, this week is so critical. If Memphis flips now, it's game over for Dan. I just can't have that!

Dan has been the most creative, interesting player in the game. He saved BB as far as ratings and viewers this season and I think that it would just be a shame if he didn't win.

Let's hope that Dan can figure something out.

Ollie and Michelle on HouseCalls today...

I don't know if any of you watched HouseCalls today with Michelle and Ollie on, but it was very irritating to me. Not so much Michelle, because she acted like herself. Everything was somebody else's fault...blah blah blah...

Ollie, on the other hand, irritated me to no end...why? Because I DON'T LIKE HIM and he sat there and gave GREAT answers... LIKEABLE answers, and if I didn't hate him so much, I probably would have started liking him again...ugh.

My husband even stated that he might make it as one of the guest hosts on House Calls. I have to admit that he was likable and charismatic.

In any case I caution April and any other woman who might be tempted to fall for that charisma and watch out for that temper, regardless!

What's the Parents Job?

Here lately, I've been seeing all kinds of things on tv, internet and in ezines talking about parents who are freaking out because the media isn't censored enough for their children.

So, I am thinking to myself...so what are the parents doing to influence their children's decisions about life in general, then? Are these parents telling us that they are letting, TV, radio, media, magazine and video games raise their children for them?

If they are, this is a sad, sad time for the world. Good parents know that real life in uncensored, and it is their job to prepare their children for anything they might encounter in the real world as adults. It is their job to mold their minds, teach them right from wrong, instill morals, traditions and a spiritual belief system.

That is not the media's job!

My husband and I actually take an active role in our daughter's life. We try to censor things from her that are inappropriate, but at the same time, if she sees a condom commercial on TV during prime time and asks questions about it, we are also fully prepared to have that talk with her. That's the parent's job. To explain to kids that even though they might see something on tv, it doesn't mean that it's right, good, or ok to mimic. It is because of this, that we know we can let our daughter watch Tom and Jerry and not have to worry about her dropping an iron on our heads. She knows that it's just a cartoon, and if she did that, someone would get really hurt.

The same will apply later when she is older. When she's a teenager, we will have open communication with her about drugs, alcohol and abstinence. She will know the short term and long term consequenses should she decide to violate the rules we will put in place for her.

So, to all of you parents out there who are freaking out because someone said the B word on Simpsons, or because your kid somehow got their kids on a game like Grand Theft Auto...

PAY CLOSER ATTENTION TO YOUR KIDS...TEACH THEM RIGHT FROM WRONG, HELP THEM NOW SO THAT LATER, WHEN THEY ARE ADULTS, THEY WON'T BE HELPLESS WHINY BABIES LIKE YOU!!!!
