This and That

Coupon Mom is the newest idea to help save consumers money.

Coupon Mom basically uses coupons to achieve the savings.

When you get your Sunday paper you will follow the steps below:

1) Remove relevant store ads and coupon inserts and date the inserts with a marker on the front. You will put the date and the code for the insert distributor (see “key” below), (i.e. “3/2 SS”)

2) Slip the inserts into a page protector. Note: you may opt to use the address labels to label the outsides of the page protectors instead of writing on them.

3) Slip all the store ads into a single page protector at the back of your notebook. You will want to keep the Sunday ads separate from the Wednesday ads (if your area has both) for ease of reference.

It may be helpful to you if you glance through the coupons and the sales fliers each week but you DO NOT need to clip the coupons (YET)!

Doesn’t sound too difficult. Visit Coupon Mom for more details.

What is the longest bone in the human body? Of course the femur is the human body’s longest bone.

The femur is more commonly known as the “thigh bone.”

The next time someone asks to see the longest bone, make sure you whip out your femur.

You have to hand it to Danny Ledonne. He’s in the news today, and not in a way that most people would want. This is a person who actually helps serial killers practice their “Art”. The most recent shooting ocurred in Canada, at the hands of a person who loved playing the game “Super Columbine Massacre”.

Can you imagine loving violence so much you make a game out of it? Wow. And now you find out that someone who “really loved your game” like Kimveer Gill has completed a real-life massacre.

If you’re like Danny Ledonne, you make the game “an indictment of our society at large”. I wonder what gives Danny a right to “indight society” at all. His list of accomplishments, if any, is quite small. He anticipated a negative public reaction concerning the game, and tried to keep his role in its’ creation quiet.

Ledonne said:

“The game does not glorify school shootings,” Ledonne told The Washington Post. “If you make it far enough into the game, you see very graphic photos of Eric and Dylan lying dead. I can’t think of a more effective way to confront their actions and the consequences those actions had.”

Imagine the negative feelings that families of the Columbine victims must feel towards Ledonne and his “game”. Even worse, imagine the feelings of the newest victims who will now learn that Kimveer Gill loved playing this violent game, and ended up wearing a black trench coat and killing innocent people!

Here’s a link to Danny Ledonne’s Myspace Profile.

Judging from his picture, Ledonne wouldn’t fare well in most violent confrontations, especially hand to hand combat.

Funny enough, Ledonne even claims he was heading down the same path. So, in simpler terms, he had ideas of doing a massacre himself.

“The same was true of Columbine. I had thoughts of hurting myself or hurting someone else and Columbine forced me to take a long hard look at those ideas and walk away from that.

I’m not attempting to make the point that video games kill people. Ultimately Kimveer Gill was responsible for his own actions. But to act like a video game developer has no connection between the actions of someone who played the game, even going so far as to profess love for it, is also short-sighted.

At the very least, you help someone imagine and execute practice murders hundreds or even thousands of times a day.

In his defense, Ledonne had this to say:

“I am, like most, saddened by the news of the recent shooting at Dawson College. I extend my condolences to those affected by this painful event,” Ledonne wrote.

What do you think? Does Donny Ledonne bare some responsibility for the actions of Kimveer Gill?
