HBK Launching Website

As many people know, Shawn Michaels has never held an internet presence. Fortunately for fans, those days are now over as the multi-time WWE Champion has opened accounts on social networking sites Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. He also plans on launching an official website in the near future.

Putting the doubters at ease, Michaels himself released a video message this evening on YouTube verifying his presence online. His Twitter handle is located at twitter.com/ShawnMichaels_, while his official website is www.TheShawnMichaels.com. Regarding Facebook, he does indeed have an account on the social networking site but the exact URL has yet to be disclosed.

In the video message, Michaels gives two reasons for hitting the web. The first and most important reason is that he wants to keep in touch with the many fans who have supported him over the years and let them in on what he's up to — and not up to. His other reason for forming an internet presence is because there are far too many impersonators online claiming to be him or his wife, particularly on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. To reiterate, the only Michaels' endorsed online accounts are noted on his YouTube page.

The Doctor Is In

Have you ever thought about changing something about yourself? Perhaps you don’t like your nose or maybe some other part of your body doesn’t live up to your idea of perfection and you want to “fix” the problem.

I believe everyone feels like this from time to time and you can definitely count myself among those that would like to change something about myself. So, as always, when I am curious about something I do my investigation on the Internet.

Doctors like,
Dr. Alan Dulin made an appearance on my computer screen and I studied a bit on what they had to offer. I truly believe that if you really want to change a part of yourself this way then you should take time and check all avenues and then make an educated decision about the step that you plan to take.

Once you make that decision to take that step then you need to make sure that you have the right doctor, one that will not only see to your physical needs but also that you are mentally prepared for this. So friends, if you are contemplating plastic surgery, then make sure that it’s what you really want to do and that you have the doctor who will look after your needs.

Alert! Alert!

I’ve written a few posts here about my parents and how they are getting up in age and how I worry that with mom’s arthritis and dad’s COPD that perhaps they should consider living in a retirement home. But since they are dead set against that I have looked into other options and found a Medical Alert System that they could possibly agree to.

All I really want is for the two of them to be safe and protected, so now I will sit with them and discuss the benefits of a Medical Alert System in their house. After all, I don’t live very far and if they ever need me in an emergency this will be a quick and great way to make sure that I am alerted to the problem so that I can respond quickly.

Sounds like a great idea right? I agree it certainly does! I just hope that they will agree as well, it will after all, keep them safe and protected, not to mention take some of the worry and stress away from me. So wish me luck friends, I am about to leave here to sit with them and pitch my really great idea!

Linda McMahon News

Before he decided to stop actively running, he was considered Linda McMahon's primary opponent. Simmons remained on the ballot, but as of May, was not actively running a campaign.

Feeling Rustic

Lately my wife and I have been discussing our move to the Philippines to live there in the winter months and have came upon a topic for conversation. We are now looking at what furniture that we would like to have for our new home there.

As we checked on the Internet for furniture and trying to decide just what kind would go with our home there. As soon as I saw picture of
rustic furniture, I knew that this was exactly what we are looking for. The woodwork is a sight to behold.

We will be having a home that will be sitting back away from any homes around us, so this furniture even fits where the house will be. Since we have been looking at this furniture we have been getting more and more excited about the prospect of having it set up in our home.

If you are looking for some new furniture to spice up a room or even the whole house then let me recommend rustic furniture to you, I don’t think that you will be disappointed as a matter of fact I think you will be completely delighted! Check it out friends, you’ll love it!

Missy Hyatt Defends Dawn Marie

Missy Hyatt posted the following blog, discussing the recent issue with Dawn Marie and Wrestler's Rescue…

My Statement On The Allegations Against Dawn Marie

I hate how so many people jumped on the band wagon that Dawn is a fraud before they ever allowed her a forum to defend herself. I'm a personal friend of Dawn, so naturally I will defend her. People who are bashing Dawn forget to realize the expense of legal fees, corporation fees, phones, & misc. to maintain a charity . Guess who swallowed any losses & upstart fees to Wrestlers Rescue? DAWN!!!! What ever profits that trickled in with ebay sales, auctions, went in to some holding account. I know for a fact that Steve Williams was sent approximately $5000.00 to help off set mounting medical expenses prior to his untimely death. I know an additional $2000 was donated in conjunction from the Cauliflower Alley Club.

I am very upset that everybody who is associated with Dawn was lumped in as thieves or con artist on various message boards without anybody asking for a statement or any proof. To my knowledge, only one person in the wrestling business decided to distance them self based on the recent negative article that was circulating.

When Dawn filed for the 501(c)(3) paper work to become a non profit charity it needed a corporate structure to be shown in the paper work. This is why I am listed as secretary. I started all of that paperwork before having it out sourced to an attorney to be completed.

The 501(c)(3) filling is a long tedious headache of paper work to fill out and file. I believe it took Dawn almost a year to have it all sorted & filed. The actual 501(c)(3) company is listed as Pro Wrestling Relief, (Dawn already had Wrestlers Rescue LLC organized and filed as a for Profit so we could begin the work that needed to be done.). I know Dawn personally shelled out a few thousand dollars in filing the 501(c)(3) paper work & the lawyer fees that took to complete it. As a 501(c)(3) they are eligible for tax free status and grants.

My participation within wrestlers Rescue consisted of signing for free at Dawn's convention, raffling a gift basket at the Paul E Normous memorial show, agreeing to be on the cancelled cruise, & helping Dawn gather the 501(c)(3) paper work [which was completed by a lawyer]. Various people accused me and others of having our hands in the cookie jar, despite NEVER handling or having any access to any money. I guess asking me about my participation would be too much of an oversight. To my knowledge, the participation of most wrestlers was either volunteering their services & donating memorabilia in order to be used for fund raising purposes. To call any wrestler a thief would be grossly inaccurate, since we never handled the financial aspects of the charity.

Like I stated earlier, Dawn will release a statement showing her innocence & the lack of research done in the many malicious articles. My personal feelings are a friend defends each other until there is proof that shows that they are guilty. I'm defending Dawn until I see proof that she misappropriated funds. I believe in Dawn based on the character of her as a person, rather then just blindly throw accusations without her side of the story.

Taking Care Of Business

With the economy the way that it is, I would be totally living in a cave if I didn’t write about personal finances and the troubles that one could get into when misusing credit cards. Believe me, if I know about anything, it’s that it’s quite easy to get into trouble with those darn credit cards.

Now there are answers to this problem such as debt consolidation or possibly getting a
loan to cover you and relieve you from paying all of those high interest charges and fees that credit card companies love to charge.

As I have let my cards get away from me, I have been looking into a solution that allows me to keep my good credit rating, pay off my credit cards, and still keep money in the bank. I guess that I could look back and see where I went wrong and swear to never do that again and that would be a good thing, but after taking that oath I still have the debt, so now is the time to find a solution for that.

So as I continue my search, I ask you, my friends to leave a comment and let me know what you would do, or have done to escape the dreaded credit card debt.

WrestleMania On NBC

For the second year in a row, NBC will air an edited version of this past year's WrestleMania on Saturday, Aug. 7 at 9 pm ET / 8 pm CT. The one-hour special will feature highlights from WrestleMania XXVI set to music. The highlight of the special will featured The Undertaker - Shawn Michaels match from the event.

Early WWE RAW Preview

The WWE's website has a brief RAW preview for tonight, just noting that now that John Cena has assembled his team of seven for SummerSlam, how will the Nexus respond tonight?

Help Yourself

For the many of you that come here know that I have owned and ran several business and still have a few today. So as a business owner I would like to offer some advice to you, my friends out there, that you might need if you own or want to own a business for yourself.

Now even small businesses can’t get by without having employees, and there is not many exceptions to that rule. For those of you that do have employees then you will need to write them a check each week and dealing with payroll you’ll have to handle the taxes, social security, workman’s comp etc. that comes out of those checks before payday comes.

I have dealt with all of that and the time that I have spent doing this could definitely be used for bigger things. So what I did, was look for someone to do that for me, and I suggest that you do the same.

Whether you have
Small Business Payroll San Diego or in Houston, having someone take care of this for you ( a company that you can trust) will definitely free up your time so that you can put your mind on more important things like building your business or using that time to take that long awaited vacation!

McCool Reponds To 'Taker Wedding Rumors

StAugustine.com ran a story about Michelle McCool over the weekend. In the story, they note that McCool does not admit to being married to the Undertaker, and just said that her life as a Texas resident is quiet and private. The two had wed on June 26, 2010 in Austin, Texas.

WCW Booker Joining TNA?

The Wrestling Observer newsletter is reporting that Kevin Sullivan, 60, reportedly spoke with TNA President Dixie Carter while she was in New Jersey a few weeks ago about returning to wrestling and booking for TNA. He told some people within the company that he already has an entire year booked out. Sullivan has yet to hear back from TNA about being brought on the creative team.

Independence

You know, I was thinking recently about my parents and how they are getting up in age. My mother has sever arthritis, and my father with his COPD, it’s just so hard for them to take care of that big house that they live in alone.

I have discussed several times with them about the subject of a senior living center only to have them a little angry at me. So I thought that the next time that I talked to them about this I should have a lot more facts to present them so that they know I am not trying to put them away in an “old folks home”.

An
Independent Living Plano is what I had in mind and there are places out there where people their age can live independently and come and go as they please without all of the worries and hassles of such things as yard work, home repairs, or maintenance.

They have worked hard all of their lives and now is the time that they should be living life and enjoying it to it’s fullest! So I will continue to talk to them about this topic, but this time I bring along with me my research to show them, I think they will be pleasantly surprised.

Something To Sink Your Teeth Into

Have you ever looked in the mirror and dreamed of having that perfect smile? Well friends, I definitely have and for most of my life I wondered if I could ever really get it. My wife recently came to me wondering if she might get braces in order for her to make her beautiful smile even more radiant.

Well I personally don’t believe that she needs to have anything done to improve her smile but I might be a bit prejudice on this subject. But anyway, we have been looking into the best orthodontists that we could find, let’s face it after all, we are a newlywed couple and we’ll need this information for our kids someday.

We have checked online for orthodontists all over the country, from
Austin Orthodontists to New York City Orthodontists. Now I know you think we might be a bit crazy or a little over the edge, but we do tend to move around and travel a bit so we will need to know where to find these men (and women) of the tooth profession.

So friends, if you have a favorite orthodontist, then let us know, we may take your recommendation and then who knows too, you might just take ours!

Backstage Heat On Matt Morgan

Company officials are also down on Matt Morgan, who has been discussed as being part of Ric Flair's Fortune group. Hernandez's two botched Border toss attempts during their Steel Cage bout at Victory Road were blamed on "The Blueprint" since Hernandez is a favorite among management.

Backstage Heat On Desmond Wolfe

Those within TNA suggest Desmond Wolfe is currently in the doghouse. The British wrestling star has developed a reputation for being difficult to work with (ego), which has affected his push in the organization.

On The Move

I had a friend recently call me to ask my advice, now I am not really used to people asking for my advice, I am actually more used to just giving it to them whether they believe they need it or not. So anyway, this came as a pleasant surprise to me.

My friend, knowing that I have a few connections in the entertainment industry ask me what I knew about
Moving Companies in Los Angeles. Well after all LA is where the entertainment field flourishes so I told him that I might be able to help him.

Now what he was looking for is an insured and bonded moving company that would be able to take care of his needs without breaking up his bank account. I do believe that I pointed him in the right direction and if any of you out there are thinking about making the same move, then contact me as I will be able to help you out as well, that is after all what I am here for!

So my friend is off to Los Angeles in a few weeks and I have that good feeling of helping a friend, who knows, maybe I will join him and move my family out there someday.

Bret Hart Returning To The Ring At Madison Square Garden


After thirteen years, WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart is returning to Madison Square Garden.

In what is being billed as Bret "The Hitman" Hart Appreciation Night, the official MSG website has announced that Hart will team up with The Hart Dynasty to wrestle three unspecified members of Nexus in a Six Man Tag Team Match at the September 25 SmackDown live event.

The match will mark as Hart's first appearance at Madison Square Garden since a September 1997 Monday Night RAW taping, which saw him work a dark match against Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.

Dawn Marie Accused Of Embezzling

Some serious claims are being made towards former WWE performer Dawn Marie Damatta as she is being accused of embezzling her charitable organization, "Wrestlers Rescue."

The organization, which was founded in 2008, creates awareness and helps raise money to support the health care needs of retired professional wrestlers. However, former friends of Damatta say they are unaware of whom the organization has benefited and where the money raised has gone.

According to The Sun writer Mike Aldren, Damatta has embezzled money raised by "Wrestlers Rescue" to fly herself to conventions around the United States so she can profit off of autograph signings. When questioned, Damatta set her attorney on him, who admitted that "Wrestlers Rescue" is not a registered charity.

Aldren noted the following to author and activist Irvin Muchnick, which was posted on his blog: "Nobody seems to know where all the money has gone nor has anyone seemingly benefited from the money that Dawn has raised over the past three years. Her former friends have told me she uses the money to fly herself to conventions around the country so she can profit from autograph signings. She has agreements with several promoters where if she flies herself in she will get a free table to sell her merchandise. When I started asking reasonable questions, Dawn set her attorney on me, who admits Wrestlers Rescue is not a registered charity."

This is not the first embezzlement accusation levied towards Damatta as two months ago, a host for the online radio show Hit the Ropes claimed that she was being investigated by the FBI for stealing money from "Wrestlers Rescue." He said that she didn't refund those who paid to attend the organization's July 2010 fundraiser cruise after it was canceled in April.

The reason cited for the event's cancellation was as follows: "It has come to our attention that there is a similar cruise event being held within a month of our event. Due to the fear of not having enough participants because of this we are withdrawing our fundraiser cruise."

Last year, Damatta held a fundraiser to benefit "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, with the funds raised purportedly going towards the purchase of a hands-free medical device that would help him speak more easily after having his voice box removed during cancer surgery. The Hit the Ropes host claimed that she failed to assist Williams before his passing last December due to throat cancer.

He also claimed that she promised money to former WWF ring announcer Michael Porter, but failed to live to her word.

It's worth noting that the official website of "Wrestlers Rescue," www.wrestlersrescue.org, was suspended by its hosting provider late last night. It has since resurfaced online.

Damatta was quoted by The New York Times for an article last week concerning Linda McMahon's political campaign, which noted her charitable organization. She recalled attending an event a few years ago where retired wrestlers were signing autographs for fans and spotted 'a legend of the sport' (The Iron Sheik) dozing off behind an autograph table before his agent pushed him into the bathroom in a wheelchair.

"I said, 'This man should be enjoying his life, he should be enjoying the fruits of his labor,' " Damatta said. "Instead, he is there signing autographs for $20."

She subsequently launched "Wrestlers Rescue," to help support the health care needs of retired professional wrestlers.

...And The Eyes Have It!

As much as I hate to say this, it won’t be long before summer is over and fall is upon us. But there is good news with this and that is that Halloween will be coming soon as well too!

Now anyone that comes to my site knows that I am crazy about Halloween and acting like a child again as in dressing up in different costumes and having people try to guess who I am. Well friends, this year I found something really cool,
Halloween Contact Lenses!

Now tell me friends, have I found the most awesome finishing touches to any costume? I am sure you will agree after I post a picture on this site of what this year’s Halloween costume will be!

If you are like me and really love to go all out on this holiday then you too might consider getting this perfect Halloween item. Imagine just how much two small contact lenses can change your whole costume! You (as well as I) will be the talk of the party!

So join me friends and we’ll be the ones that everyone will be talking about this year and then who knows, maybe a trend will be started the year after that and the streets will be filled with some really haunting eyes!

Heat Between HBK and Vince?

Contrary to rumors, there is no heat between HBK and Vince McMahon. WWE understands that at 45, that Shawn is in a different place in his life at this time. On the upcoming WrestleMania XXVI: The World Television Premiere, the Shawn Michaels-Undertaker match that led to Michaels' retirement is featured prominently.

Goldberg Wants One Final Match... Only If The Money Is Right

In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, former wrestling champion Bill Goldberg said he wants one final wrestling match because he wants his family to see him wrestle live.

"If the money was right, I'd go out there and do it in two seconds," Goldberg said. "I'd have to be totally prepared for it, because I wouldn't want to tarnish my image, but I'd like to be in the ring one more time so that my wife and my son can see me wrestle live."

He also discussed his love/hate relationship with the wrestling industry in the interview.

"I don't ever want to say that I miss anything about the wrestling business," Goldberg said. "I miss the ability to put a smile on a kid's face, more than one at a time. That was a true charge for me."

Get Your Name Out There!

For those of you that know me, know that I have a business and I also play in the band “Inside Out”. Well friends, one of the most important tools that someone in business can have are personal business cards.

There are a lot of ways of getting the name of your business out there from Newspaper ads to television, but when someone is in need of the business that you provide a business card is always a good way to go.

I’ve been in business for a lot of years friends so you can believe me when I say that I have gotten a lot of customers just from the professional picture that I paint by have business cards available to them and most people tend to hold on to those cards even when they don’t intend to do so.

So one day they might be in need of your services and they just happen to reach into their pocket and there it is, your business card! So friends, don’t take for granted the importance of business cards for your business, it could just get you that big job that you have been waiting for! Good luck and get your business cards!

This Week In Rock N Roll

1964:

A riot broke out during a The Rolling Stones gig at The Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, Lancashire. Keith Richards noticed a man with his hands on the stage exhorting the crowd to spit, and warned him, but the spitting continued. Richards is then reported to have stood on his hands and kicked him in the face, whereupon some of the 7000 fans in attendance started fighting, causing over £4,000 in damage. Blackpool City Council later voted to ban The Stones from playing in the city. 44 years later, the 2008 council voted to lift the ban, but a spokesman for the group said they had no plans to return.


I guess it's true what they say, some decisions will come back to haunt you someday. I guess Blackpool, Lancashire learned the hard way!

More to come...

I myself have been eyeing The Chili Conquistador, let me tell you that this burger is covered with chili, spicy funyuns and then it’s ran through the garden to top it all off! Only one word describes this sandwich for me and that would be YUM!

You can find this
secret menu tab on Facebook ( so if you’re not a member of facebook, now would be the time to join!). Something else that you might enjoy, is to find the secret menu tab on August 2nd and you can create your own ampm secret menu concoctions right on Facebook!

'Tara' Kayfabing TNA Return

As seen at Victory Road, Madison Rayne lost the Women's Knockout Championship to Angelina Love via disqualification due to outside interference from a person incognito in a motorcycle helmet. The mystery person was Lisa Marie Varon (a/k/a Tara), who recently agreed to return to TNA Wrestling. On Twitter, she has been kayfabing her return to the organization by writing various messages indicating she's at home. In fact, she wrote late last night that she slept all day, thus explaining why she was unable to tweet much. Further indicating that Varon has in fact rejoined TNA Wrestling, she opened a Facebook Fan Page last week in which lists herself as a TNA Knockout — and former WWE Diva.

Dixie Carter Angers TNA Talents Yesterday

TNA president Dixie Carter held a talent meeting yesterday afternoon in Orlando, Florida before the evening's iMPACT! taping. She informed all talent that they must "tighten up" up their in-ring work and noted that they are essentially spoiled because they have the luxury of performing on a taped show which can be edited.

"Guys were fuming," said one company source regarding her remarks.

Repair Your Credit

I have written many times on the site about the economy, debt, credit car debt, and topics that are similar to these. I watch a lot of news and read a lot on the Internet and I am still not pleased of the direction the economy is taking.

So what is important to me at the moment is getting my finances in order and the starting point for me would be getting my credit rating to where it needs to be. So, after doing my research on the Internet I have found RMCN (Repair My Credit Now).

Now I am not one to go into something half heartedly so I checked this company out and their website and I have been reading some from actual RMCN customers about credit repair results they've experienced with RMCN.

The rmcn credit repair reviews that I have read are very informative and have given me a perspective on taking care of my credit rating that I never had before, but there is also rmcn credit services reviews that can be seen as well.

The
rmcn online reviews are just the tip of the iceberg for me, so right now I think I will go read some more good things about RMCN.

This Week's WWE Raw Rating

PWInsider.com is reporting that Monday's episode of RAW did a 3.3 rating and 4.8 million viewers. The first hour of the show drew a 3.13 rating with 4.5 million viewers, while the second drew a 3.51 rating with 5.1 million viewers.

While it's down from the 3.4 rating the show drew last week, the actual viewership was the same as last week's show, which also drew 4.8 million viewers.

Ric Flair's Wife Cleared Of Assault Charges

TMZ.com is reporting that Jacqueline Beems, Ric Flair's wife, is off the hook for allegedly assaulting him at their home in February. The reason? He wouldn't testify against her.

Officials in Charlotte said that the judge threw out the assault charge today because the D.A. did not have enough information to prosecute her. The report says that Flair did take the stand, but pled the 5th.

Brad Smith, attorney for Flair's wife, said "We are just thrilled at the outcome and all parties are looking forward to moving on."

It should be noted that the couple reconciled shortly after the incident and Flair has traveled with her to several sets of TNA iMPACT! tapings in Orlando, FL.

Have Fun Learning

The wife and I have been discussing starting a family recently and we definitely want to do it right when the time comes so we have been looking into so many different things and ideas on what we should do to prepare.

One of the things that I insisted on is I want my children to play with
educational toys. Yes I want my children to have a lot of fun but why can’t they be learning at the same time? I think this only makes sense as when is the best time to learn? I always thought the best time to learn is when you are doing something that you enjoy.

So we have been searching online for the best educational toys, and I know some of you are thinking that we are jumping the gun a little bit, but that’s not really so, we just like to be prepared.

So my mission and yours too if you would like to help us and if you choose to accept it, is to find educational toys that are fun as well. Let us know what you find and we will do the same for you! Happy hunting friends, and remember, educational!

Quote Of The Day

Today's quote comes from Charlie Daniels. You'll see alot from Charlie here as I think he has more common sense then any of thos idiots in DC.

Chicago has turned into a battleground with a daily shooting war going on between the criminal elements and woe to the innocent bystander who gets caught in the crossfire.

In fact, you don't even have to be in the crossfire, you just have to live in the war zone to have a good chance of having your brain matter splattered against the walls of your living room by some scumbag who couldn't care less that the gun he murders you with is illegal.

One citizen, after applying and being denied owning a handgun to protect himself, finally got irate enough to sue and the case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme court.

The Supreme Court, by the narrowest of margins, declared that it was legal for an American citizen to own a handgun for their personal protection. The vote was 5 to 4.

My point is that the congress is going to confirm Elena Kagan, who has never been a judge, who is a screaming liberal, and who--no matter what she says in her hearings--will, mark my words, lean the court to the left and pass some of the most radical jurisprudence in the history of this nation.

This woman is a walking ideological time bomb just waiting for the chance to blow the Constitution to kingdom come. She is pro-gay and anti-military; a stalwart member of the academic elite whose view of America is a place that badly needs changing.

It's Your Opinion That Matters

The beauty of writing a blog is that you can give your opinion and let it be known exactly what you think about any particular subject. Something else that is good about a blog is that every now and then you can put facts out for all to read and let them make up their own mind about any certain subject.

The
American Residential Law Group has added a blog entry just like that. So tell me friends is abandoning your home and walking away a good or bad idea? There are alternatives after all, like, seeking a mortgage loan modification under the Obama Administration’s Home Affordable Modification Program.

This program is completely voluntary, so both the lender and the borrower must agree to participate and The Treasury Department recently released reports that banks like, Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan are on board and have successfully turned168,708 trial plans into permanent loan modifications.

Now of course this all sounds good, but the only opinion that counts when reading these facts is yours. So I suggest you check this out for yourself, create an educated opinion and take it from there. Remember, check the facts and then make your decision

Vince McMahon's Latest 'Ban'

The latest thing that has been banned in WWE by Vince McMahon is chops (Ric Flair style chest chops) not being allowed. This does not include the straight down chops performed by The Great Khali or the hand print chops by The Big Show.

The general feeling is that McMahon doesn't want people doing the chops as the reaction live among wrestling fans is to do the Ric Flair "Wooooo!" and it reminds people of Flair, something they obviously don't want given he is working for the opposition at the moment.

The Perfect Gift

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of FriendGiftr. All opinions are 100% mine.

Every year it’s the same thing when my mother’s birthday comes around, I have the hardest of times finding just the right gift for her. It seems every year the gift that I give her seems to make it’s way back to the store where I purchased it.

Well friends, I have found just the right gift for someone that is hard to buy for. As I was searching the Internet earlier I found
FriendGiftr, and they seem to be the answer to my prayers.

I simply get browse over 120 of the best retail and restaurants gift cards and choose $10, $20, $25, $35, $50, $75, or $100 gift card and give it to my mother, and then if she still would rather have something else she can exchange that gift card for one from a different retail or restaurant gift cards for no additional charge and without me finding out!

Now is that the perfect gift? I think so! I can even Can use their service from their website, Facebook, iPhone, BlackBerry, or Android.

So it’s a great gift and I don’t even have to leave the house to buy it! I do believe that all of my gift giving problems are over!

Is Steve Austin The Mystery GM?

On this week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, obvious hints were given that the "Mystery GM" was Stone Cold Steve Austin. According to sources within WWE, this is simply a red herring to throw people off.
