Michael Jackson’s Hospital Thermometer

Jules — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:59:20 +0000

On January 27, 1984, Michael Jackson was burned while filming a Pepsi commercial at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium. He was rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, then transferred to Brotman Medical Center in Culver City, CA with second-degree burns on the back of his head.

My husband’s father was working at Brotman Medical Center as a burn technician at the time, and had Michael Jackson in his care. At the time of his release from the hospital Michael autographed one of his balloons that he had received and gave it to my husband’s father. He also gave him the thermometer that they had used on him in the hospital. My husband still has this thermometer and we thought that it’s time to show the rest of the world what a neat collector item this is for any Michael Jackson fan.

Michael Jackson was always donating to charities, and one of his favorite charities was Brotman Medical Center that took care of him when he was injured. We are seriously thinking of putting Michael Jackson’s hospital thermometer up for auction on eBay and donating some of the proceeds to the Brotman Medical Center.

What do you think? Do you think this might be a hot item on eBay and that we could raise some good money for the burn center? In this day and age of the fancy CSI stuff I’m sure they could lift his DNA off it.

Blu Frog Energy Drink Contest

Jules — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:11:23 +0000

I got a case of Blu Frog Energy Drink about three months ago to try and I thought it was the grossest stuff ever. Apparently I’m the only person on the planet that thinks that because everyone else in my house just loved it, and I’ve read really good reviews of the stuff on other people’s blog. I don’t normally like energy drinks to begin with anyway, so maybe I wasn’t the best market tester to begin with. But like I said, the boys loved it and so did all their friends.

BluFrog Energy Drink is sponsoring some pretty cool contest right now that are easy to enter just by twittering, leaving a comment on their blog, or writing about the contest on your own blog.

Summer of Love Collection At Target

I’m not sure who makes these shirts, but I saw them at Target yesterday and I just had to have them. They’ve got that hippy/bohemian look to them that I love!

I need to alter the straps on the two identical ones though. They are too long, and they make the shirts a little too boobalicious plungy for my taste. Although Michael thinks they are just perfect the way they are

Veterinary Assistant/Technician

Jules — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:46:42 +0000

Since my job search in the last 6 months has netted me two interviews, and 32489023840329 emailed resumes, maybe it’s time that I rethink what I want to do for a living. Since I love, love, LOVE animals and my life goal is to own an animal sanctuary one day, it only makes sense to me that I should go back to college and become a Veterinary Assistant or a Veterinary Technician.

I won’t get rich doing it since the average yearly income is only $33,000, but it’s a step in the right direction to reach my goal. Plus the trend shows it going up! Now to find a school in Las Vegas so I can research it more.
