On this day in 1993, Carmen Electra released a self-titled album... this was the first cut...

PLAY

The album was produced by her boyfriend at the time...which was who?

*Patrick Swayze
*Prince
*Dennis Rodman

Answer: Prince! No kidding! This is going to be hard to believe but the album was not well received and effectively ended her recording career. Source



“Pull over the curb,” said the policeman. “You don’t have a taillight.” The motorist stepped out, looked in back of the car, and stood quivering and speechless. “Oh, it’s not that bad,” said the policeman. The man mumbled, “It’s not the taillight I am worried about. Where are my wife and trailer?”





Insta-tweak

If you use Instagram, you know the only way to look at your pictures is through a mobile device, right? Well, the company announced you can now access your photos on your computer, as well. You can like photos and even leave a comment, but you can't upload a picture. Read the details




A good day...



Now this is what you would call a good day! The Weavers, from Little Rock, Arkansas, decided on a whim to buy two lottery tickets. They bought the first before their day-long fishing trip, the second as they were coming home. As you can guess, both tickets were winners. The first was worth $1-million, and the second was worth $50-g's. The couple will use the money to pay off some bills and save for retirement. Story




Party on, Wayne!



If you've had a really bad day, keep this in mind. Alcohol mixed with diet soda is more potent than when mixed with regular soda. This study monitored college students consuming vodka drinks mixed with regular and diet soda. The diet soda group got more intoxicated, faster. A full 20% more intoxicated than the regular soda group. Researchers say the sugar in your mixed drink slows down the effects of alcohol.




You have been voted off the island...



The Monopoly iron is gone! Monopoly fans got to vote which game token should be saved on the Monopoly Facebook page, and the clear favorite was the Scottie Dog with 29% of the vote. But with only 8% of the vote, the poor old iron will be retired. Yes, a staple of the Hasbro game since the 30's is gone.

Taking the iron's place is a stupid cat. The cat became an official game piece after beating out a toy robot, guitar, helicopter, and diamond ring.

So now, your new starting line-up for Monopoly will be:

*Cat
*Wheelbarrow
*Shoe
*Race car
*top hat
*thimble
*Scottie dog
*Battleship


Look for the new line-up near the end of the summer.




Speaking of cat...



Stewie, the world's longest cat, died Monday evening after a year long battle with cancer. He was more than four feet long from nose to tail, enough for a Guinness World Record. No word on who takes Stewie's place. Too soon, I suppose.




3 things you should say to your kids



As a parent, you know that most of the time all you're doing is telling your kids to 'do this' and 'do that,' but a blogger at Babble.com has three good suggestions you can say every day that make a huge difference in the way your children behave.

Do you need a hug? 9 times out of 10 it's a 'yes,' and sometimes that's all it takes to end a tantrum.

Do you want to talk about it? Whether or not they want to talk it out is less important than just giving them the option.

I am SO happy to see you! The way you act when your kid enters the room is important for their well-being and sense of self.

There they are. This blogger says hitting on those three things every day has improved her parenting and the way her children behave. Source
