If you are like me, you like to watch the live feeds every now and again or check the "spoiler" boards that tell you what is going on that isn't televised. Right now you can get the Big Brother Superpass free and watch the live feeds.

Happy watching! I'll update on BB again when we get a couple more weeks in and things really start to heat up. ]]> indylaw99 http://www.helpingmomsconnect.com/blog/profile.php?id=2 2006-06-27T21:50:16+00:00 2006-07-20T18:50:12+00:00 tag:www.helpingmomsconnect.com,2006-07-20:/archives/2/72
Bret's girlfriend, Tracie, was my boss at Lexis for some time and has been a friend since then. I had lunch with her just a couple of weeks ago and was thinking to myself what a physical couple they are--much different than me and my husband! They truly enjoy the time that they spend cycling together. They even take their bikes with them on vacations!

Bret is currently paralyzed from the shoulders down. It's hard to even comprehend what Bret, Tracie, and their families are going through right now. It puts into perspective 100% what is important and makes me all the more happy about my decision to spend this summer with my daughters rather than on conference calls all day. I know not everyone has that luxury, and I am eternally grateful for my situation.

If you are interested in following along with Bret's story or donating to the fund set up for him, you can visit http://www.morristrucking.com/race/race.html. I can't help but visit multiple times each day just to see what is happening...hoping and praying for Bret and Tracie.

A woman will want to be treated in her future relationships the way that her father treated her. If her father respected her and let her know her worth, she will want the same in a husband. If her father was cold toward her and disappointed her, she will expect the same from her husband. Looking at my husband with my daughters, I know that they will seek out men someday who will treasure them, value them, make them feel important. Men who will give them a dose of reality but will try their hardest to pull the stars out of the sky for them. Why? Because that is what their daddy does for them each and every day.

Happy Father's Day...to the one in our family who changed the most diapers, who sits patiently in the lobby during dance classes, and who has the pediatrician's phone number on his cell phone speed dial. To the one who cleans up the puke, doesn't faint when he sees blood, and taught the girls how to fly kites. To the one who will make sure that my daughters have an education, a strong foundation in life, and a sense of value and purpose in the world. Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband, Kevin.

Next week should slow down enough for me to actually get caught up on a lot of the things that I want to get caught up with on the website. I want to completely revamp the shopping page and get the reviews and discounts going again. More soon!]]> indylaw99 http://www.helpingmomsconnect.com/blog/profile.php?id=2 2006-06-03T14:48:29+00:00 2006-07-20T18:50:12+00:00 tag:www.helpingmomsconnect.com,2006-07-20:/archives/2/69 indylaw99 http://www.helpingmomsconnect.com/blog/profile.php?id=2 2006-05-22T19:41:49+00:00 2006-07-20T18:50:12+00:00 tag:www.helpingmomsconnect.com,2006-07-20:/archives/2/68 Trump University

I have to admit from the outset that I love watching Donald Trump's The Apprentice on NBC. I don't know what it is, but I suspect that it is a combination of my desire to learn more about business with my love of reality television.

When I saw the new Trump University website, I was immediately intrigued. I've spent the last few hours playing around on the site.

First of all, do not be fooled--this is less about education and more about Trump building his empire. Most of the content on the website comes with some kind of price tag. That said, there are a number of areas with free resources including blogs and discussion boards. Subjects center around management, entrepreneurship, and real estate.

I wish that the site had been more active during this season of the Apprentice. There are some discussions led by "Trump U" team members, but few people participated. I led a similar discussion board with my team at LexisNexis this season. We raised many more issues than are on the Trump U discussion board. Perhaps as the site grows in membership the discussions will become more lively in future seasons.

You should definitely sign up for the free newsletters. When you do, you will be given access to back issues. They contain some helpful concepts.

At a minimum, the site is interesting. Best case, you might even make some business contacts that would help you in building or growing your own business.

Big Brother is back! I just saw on tv tonight that Big Brother will be back with an All Star edition. Not many details, but it looks like viewers will be able to vote on which of 20 former Big Brother players will be back this year. Hopefully this season will have a little more spark than last year. They started losing me. More news on this topic in June!]]> indylaw99 http://www.helpingmomsconnect.com/blog/profile.php?id=2 2006-05-21T20:36:18+00:00 2006-07-20T18:50:12+00:00 tag:www.helpingmomsconnect.com,2006-07-20:/archives/2/66 indylaw99 http://www.helpingmomsconnect.com/blog/profile.php?id=2 2005-10-07T21:58:08+00:00 2006-07-20T18:50:12+00:00 tag:www.helpingmomsconnect.com,2006-07-20:/archives/2/64 indylaw99 http://www.helpingmomsconnect.com/blog/profile.php?id=2
