I was so sad to learn that one of the bakers, Wesley, that was eliminated on the show committed suicide rather than face "public humiliation". He was not the best baker but other than using a "cake mix" for one of the cake competitions he didn't do anything or had a bad personality that many would disparage him. He wasn't Minerva! Obviously, I don't know any other issues or problems he may have been facing but I just don't understand why he would think this is the only escape? For heaven sake, he was an Iraq war veteran. SMH.
Rest in peace sir.

Verizon took it back! No $2 fee for payments!
I'm excited! Verizon took it back! I had posted earlier about VZ proposed $2 fee for paying online or over the phone. The whole thing is ridiculous. Now is not the time to charge us more for services...much less for paying! I would think Verizon or any company would want to make it as easy and painless as possible to receive payment! I'm glad its settled for now...until next time right??
A snippet of the story: "Facing a backlash from customers, Verizon Wireless said today it will back off of a planned $2 fee for some online bill payments, only a day after the fee was first announced.
The concession by the Basking Ridge company came after customers vented on the web, and online petitions generated more than 50,000 virtual signatures. Before the company’s about-face this afternoon, even the Federal Communications Commission said it was concerned...."
Rest in Peace Ben. This is my story (Part 1)
This story made me bawl my eyes out. I want to just reach into the monitor and hug him. It was so admirable of him to make this video for his parents to give them closure. This is exactly the kind of story you need to hear when you complain about your life about trivial things. Some people really want to live.
Rest in Peace Ben. I know you can run with the all the kids up there now :)
The morale of the story? Give thanks for all you blessed with...I know I do!
I got a beach cruiser for Christmas!
I love my new beach cruiser! My sweetiepie got me a bike for Christmas. I'm excited to make it mine and girlie with pink flower decals and adding a "Sweet Caroline" or "ChasinCaroline" to it! I also have my eye on a Hello Kitty bike bell too ;)
It's so clean and pretty that I'm scared to ride it. I don't know if anybody understands how clumsy I am. I'm really afraid of messing the bike up lol. I have a pink helmet that I will be wearing because I know I will crash at some time haha. Sadly, I usually hit stationary items LOL.
I'm just happy at how blessed I was this year. Thanks baby!
I think I want to add these pink decals to the bike. Unless somebody has seen something cuter?? Let me know!
I want this bell too! Tell me that's not cute??\

Annoyed! Confirmed: Verizon Charging $2 Fee for Paying Bills Online or By Phone
I'm already spending $100+ a month for my basic plan and now I have to add a new fee? It's going to make me go old school and pay at Verizon physically. I'm so annoyed!!
Verizon customers who make single payments by phone or online will be charged a $2 fee per payment starting January 15. The new fee is intended to offset the cost of processing these payments.
“The fee will help allow us to continue to support these single bill payment options in these channels,” Verizon said in a statement toMashable.
Other Verizon payment options such as electronic check, AutoPay and payment kiosks are still free.
Customer representatives for Sprint and AT&T said that those companies charge no similar additional fee for paying by phone or online. The AT&T representative said there is, however, a fee for paying a bill through a customer service representative by phone.
Will Verizon’s $2 fee affect you? If so, will it motivate you to choose an alternate payment option, or do you find single payments by phone or Internet worth the extra couple of bucks? Let us know in the comments.
