Tiger Woods... and Why Do We Care?

Let's be honest. This is not about Tiger. Next week it will be someone else who is rich, famous or both. (The common folk do this stuff, too, but being common, we are completely un-newsworthy!) So why do we care? Does anyone care?

Here are several reasons not to care:

1. Statistically speaking this happens all the time
2. Elin won't go broke anytime soon, pre-nup or no
3. Tiger had a history of this (who is the stupid one here?)
4. Famous/wealthy people get propositioned all the time - eventually the right person will ask!
5. People get bored and when you can have your pick...
6. Wasn't there some teeny little voice in the back of Elin's mind when they were getting married, saying, "Maybe this is not the best idea? Maybe he is too famous?"

That was right off the top. If I mull it over I can come up with more. You see my point, though. And take your pick of the famous people getting/have gotten divorced.

Next week, I'll post about famous people who should be jailed for the names they gave their children... another sign that you have too much money/fame!

You are right, it does happen all the time. But of course add many million dollars to the mix and the temptations on both side probably increase.
I'm sure Elin had her uncertainties but with someone in the spotlight like that and worth that much money I guess you weigh the different options and hope for the best. If they manage to work it out, hey, great, but if not... enough coverage already. It's done and it's nothing new.

Ooh, I'm sure the post about names will be fun. Dweezil and Moon Unit come to mind. Oh boy!

Hey, Ash, I'm back to blogging for the time being. Stop by and see some pictures. Although, you can probably catch most of them on Facebook too. It's hard to post at both places sometimes but I have a few people on each who do not do one or the other so I'm trying to keep connected with everyone.

Happy Christmas! xo

I thought the same, Elin should have suspected Something...I mean, duh, all that time in Las Vegas and no tournament....The Only thing I care about is how bottom line dollars, be it marketing or whatever, affect our youth...and it's cyclical...and, yes, it's a Big Name draw that pulls in the headline loot...ahhhhh! Look forward to your name posting...but will be out of town/computer until the 28th...will ck archives...Merry Christmas!

Why do we care about Tiger Woods. He's a low life who had the world in his hands and blew it. The man had a super model for a wife and a child but couldn't control his wandering eye. As far as I'm concerned he blew any chance he had at being any kind of roll model or sports hero. Another typical example of someone who had anything money could buy but it didn't satisfy him. Wish somebody who really deserved it would have won.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
