I was just browsing the Nook page on the Barnes and Noble website when I came across this new thing called "pubit!". It's a thing that will allow regular people like me write their own book and upload all the files to the pubit page and they will sell your book and give you a cut of the money.
You know it's funny because I am in the process of writing an autobiography. I'm not famous enough to write one but people have been telling me for years that I should write a book with all the stories I have told about my messed up childhood. So why not write a book?
Well, I've been thinking, if I do write this book I have no guarantee that a publisher will publish it for me. I could spend the next 6 months to 2 years writing just to be turned down. So, this gives me a chance to do it and make it happen.
So I signed up. It's not available yet but they say to sign up and I will be told when they start up so I can begin uploading all my files. Well, I still have awhile. I'm only in the middle of my first chapter and who knows how long this book will end up being with all the stories that I have to tell.
One thing I'm going to do is read an actual autobiography from someone who is famous to give me more of an idea of what I should put in it and what I should leave out. Oh there are a ton of things that I'm not going to reveal only because it's very sexual. Yeah that part of my life will be left out lol.

Crocheted Swiffer Cover
What an idea! I never thought of this. If you have a Swiffer, instead of wasting money on buying new swiffer pads every darn time you have to use it, just make your own. You can make as many as you want so you don't have to keep washing the same one every day, instead make about 5 or them and when it's laundry day you can just wash them all at once with your regular laundry.
Anyway, here is the pattern and an image of the final product at the end.
Mop or Sweeper Cover
Instead of using disposable covers, crochet an economical reusable cover for your flat mop, sweeper or duster. The cover easily slips on and off for cleaning. For the knit version of this cover, see the Mop Cover Knitting Pattern.
- Yarn: Lily® Sugar’n Cream Ombres (56.7 g/2 oz/ 86 m/95 yds) #00133 (Shaded Denim) 1 ball
- Crochet Hook: Size 5 mm (U.S. H or 8) crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge.
Instructions:
Main Piece
Ch 37.
1st row: (RS). 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in each ch across. Turn. 36 sc.
**2nd row: Ch 1. Working in back loop only of each sc, 1 sc in each sc across. Turn.
Rep last row until work from beg measures 4 ins [10 cm]. Fasten off.**
Sides (make 2).
Ch 12.
1st row: (RS). 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in each ch across. Turn. 11 sc.
Rep from ** to ** as for Main Piece.
Join Sides to Main Piece: Place 1 Side at each end of Main Piece and pin outer edges tog. With RS facing, join yarn with sl st in any corner. Ch 1. Work 1 row of sc around outer edge (through both thicknesses of Side and Main Piece at each end), working 3 sc in each corner. Join with sl st to first sc. Fasten off.
Note: Slip each end around the dusting tool’s base. When one side is soiled, flip the side pockets inside-out and use the opposite side to keep cleaning! The ridge stitch design helps trap dirt.

Judge Removes Stay on Prop 8 Ruling
Below are the facts from Towleroad.com. From what I heard on Fox News, gay couples can get married on August 18th but... and it's a big but(t), that gives the Prop 8 team a week to stop it from happening. They will stop at nothing to "protect" marriage from gay people.
Ok look, I've said it before and I'll say it a million times more. Gay people getting married does not hurt straight people's marriages. If anything it helps the economy because gay people are going to be spending big bucks on their weddings, probably more than straight people would spend.
Ok now I know that the argument for Prop 8 is not a financial argument but more a moral argument that being gay is immoral according to the bible which was NOT written by a "higher power" but by a bunch of bigots about 2000 years or so ago.
There seems to be a lot of things in the bible that people choose to ignore like that eating shellfish is an abomination (obama-nation?) LEV 10:10, slavery is a good thing especially when you are selling your own DAUGHTER Exodus 21:7, if you wear glasses you cannot get in to heaven LEV 21:23, that is something that everyone seems to forget and so many more. This letter to "Dr." Laura says it all.

My personal favorite is the one that says if you work on the sabbath you must be put to death. Oh yes it's in there. Exodus 35:2. Check it out.
Now, please do me a favor, if you are going to ignore all these other things, please ignore all the gay BS in the bible. Thank you.
Judge Removes Stay on Prop 8 Ruling; Gay Couples Can Marry Aug 18
UPDATE: WE now have official documents. The stay is in place until August 18, at which time couples can marry as far as I can see.
Freedom to Marry is reporting that Judge Walker has lifted the stay on his ruling striking down Proposition 8, meaning couples are free to marry in California.
AWAITING official documents...
Also no word on the status of any appeal...
Said Evan Wolfson of Freedom to Marry in a statement:
“California is now the sixth state where same-sex couples share in the freedom to marry. As the Governor, the Attorney General, and Judge Walker have all concluded, there is no good reason to continue excluding same-sex couples from marriage. Same-sex couples across California can once again share in the respect and personal significance of marriage, as well as the critical safety net of protections and responsibilities that marriage will bring to their families.
Read more at www.towleroad.com
We are witnessing a growing consensus in America that loving and committed same-sex couples deserve the same respect and the same rights as everyone else. Americans on all sides of the aisle, from Laura Bush to Bill Clinton, have embraced the reality that the freedom to marry helps families, while hurting no one. As same-sex couples in California today celebrate their love, commitment, and equal protection under the law, a majority of Californians and a majority of Americans support their right to marry.”
