    Twinkies Survive! (maybe)





    To all of you that are trying to sell us Twinkies on eBay for $300...take this: They may not be going away... na na na na na na...

    (HA HA)

    A bankruptcy specialist at the University of Michigan says serving up Twinkies would be a attractive for a buyer looking for a sweet deal.

    And that buyer may be talking to Hostess right now. The company told the L.A. Times that there is "interest from a buyer," but would not reveal who that buyer might be.


    Late afternoon development: A judge has stepped in and told Hostess to negotiate with the union...translation: The Twinkie hasn't died yet... just when American scales thought their job was going to get easier -- the ding dong lives!


    Holiday Tips for Pregnant Moms





    The folks from YourTango pass along a few tips for women who are pregnant and fear the upcoming holiday season...

    • Slice your to-do list in half -- the cookies don't have to made from scratch and the napkins don't need to be folded in the shape of a reindeer.
    • Rest in the car between errands -- literally. Just close your eyes for a few minutes.
    • Set activity boundaries -- only go to holiday events that are most important to you... turn down the rest.

    check out the rest of the list here

    Facebook/Phones: I would add a couple more -- make Amazon.com your best holiday shopper -- have the UPS driver do the heavy work. A cleaning crew once a month is the best money ever spent. You?


    Too Legit!


    Could this have been the greatest moment in American Music Award history? Watch MC Hammer join Psy on stage Sunday for a Gangnam Style/2 Legit 2 Quit mashup. Brilliant! (skip to 2:45 for the good stuff).




    Super Cool Parents are So Stupid





    Parents buying kids alcohol -- yes or no? More and more parents are willing to buy booze for their kids as young as 14 -- and yes, they do know it's illegal. This on top of the pressure to drink already provided by their peers and older brothers and sisters.

    Nearly half of the 800 adults surveyed were likely to provide alcohol to 17-year-olds for a party at home... one-fifth of super cool moms and dads would even provide booze for their 14-year olds.

    Facebook/Phones: Forget that your kids brain is still in a crucial stage of development, but many of them have drivers licenses. Is it just me, or should would we not encourage this behavior?
