No, it's not an old story...another cruise ship is stranded in the waters by Mexico. The Carnival Cruise ship Triumph had an engine fire that caused it to become stranded. No one was injured and another cruise ship is on-hand to deliver supplies. A tug boat will tow it to a port in Mexico. Carnival Cruise adrift
Update: The ship was not able to be towed to Mexico because it had drifted north. It is now underway to Mobile, Alabama. It should reach it's destination by Thursday and passengers will be staying in hotels until the cruise line can fly them home. Conditions are not good aboard the ship and those on the ship are hoping for Thursday to arrive quickly. news about Triumph

Chris Christie
Former White House physician for Bill Clinton, Connie Mariano, has caused a stir with Chris Christie. She made comments about his weight and health without ever even meeting him. She says that she is concerned that he would die in office if he were elected. Kudos to Chris for telling her where to get off!! Chris' response
Turning tragedy around
The Garretts are a blended family. She has two sons and he has three daughters. Then they had a son together. Unfortunately at 7 months, Jake passed away. In her grief, Sherrill, was looking for something to help her through it. A friend was talking with her about 15 years from now she would be wondering who Jake's prom date would be. This gave Sherrill an idea. She remembers her own prom when her mother had to have a dress made for her because they couldn't afford a fancy dress from the store. Thus, "Dresses for Jake's dates" came into being. They will loan all the necessary items needed for prom to any girl that needs them. prom dates

I'd like to see the cat. new tokenUPDATE: The iron is gone and the cat is in!!

For a brewery in Alaska it is way too expensive to prepare and sell the waste from making it's beer. So, instead, they are using their own by-products to make more beer. They should be able to save $450,000 per year. beer
