Win passes to ASTRO BOY - We have 50 double passes to give away, so everyone can come...

A great Thanksgiving Pumpkin Cheesecake and I need your advice on some important topics.

So Thanks for reading today. Keep warm and Have the Best Day Ever.

It is time to retire… and go shopping

My 1999 Ford Expedition that is and I need your advice.

I want to find the best family car out there so what’s your favorite. Remember I have two toddlers, a jogging stroller, dogs that sometimes get to come, and I am always carrying books around, so I do need room. I'm probably not looking at a Smart Car or a Mini I suppose.

I am on a mission to find the most family friendly car dealership.
Do those two things go together...? They must.

There must be a car dealership that focuses strictly on families, maybe you know of one that has a play area and I don’t mean just a couple of books. Or what about when you drop your vehicle off for servicing, what are the options for a mom with kids. Well tell me your favorite car, what you love about it, what would you change and who is the best family car dealer in Alberta.

I will provide the winning dealership with a Free Listing in our next edition. Valued at $564

By the way; you need to keep this a secret, because I haven't told my husband yet. I'm doing the "research" before I tell him... so you have to keep a secret. Thanks.

I am actually expanding -- I Need Fun Finders

Can you help?

I am going crazy working late, trying to balance time with the kids.
I decided I need to find some more great mom's that can help.

I have had the most amazing assistant, Sharon for over a year and a half now and she is getting ready to welcome her second Little bundle of joy.

So I have decided to ask for help, something women aren't always great at doing.

I am looking for at least 4 or more moms who would like to make a bit of extra money.

I need you to search out fun events, things to do and what's family fun around your area.

You can work from home on your time schedule. It's Very Flexible hours. You just need to be in touch with what is happening around your area. I am looking for someone in

So after finding these events I will train you on how to input them into our Calendar of Events so that Moms everywhere can find fun... FAST.

I need someone to input companies and events into our directory, so if your organized, good with data entry and a great speller, That would help me out. This is a paid position and you can make your own schedule, about 5 hours a week or so.

Set in the future, Astro Boy is a classic superhero origin story. The all-new, CG-animated feature film tells the story of a young robot with incredible powers and his adventure-filled journey in search of his destiny.

In the futuristic world of Metro City, a gleaming metropolis in the sky, the brilliant scientist Dr. Tenma creates Astro Boy to replace the son he has lost, programming his creation with the best of human characteristics and values, as well as endowing him with extraordinary super powers. Cast out when he cannot meet the grieving father’s expectations, Astro Boy is dealt a cruel double blow – he is also crushed to learn he is a robot, not even a human being.

Astro Boy, who carries within himself the Blue Core, a power source made of positive “blue” energy, is sought out by the troops of the militaristic President Stone, obsessed with obtaining the Core for the “Peacekeeper” robot, in fact invented to be used as a weapon to dominate Earth.

Fleeing from the military, Astro Boy crashes to the surface of the Earth. Lost and unsure of his identity, Astro Boy simply seeks to fit in. Denying his true nature, he tries to pass himself off as a human being with a gang of child-vagabonds. He falls naively under the sway of their leader Hamegg, in whom he sees a father figure. To Astro Boy’s horror, Hamegg exposes him as a robot and tries to turn him into a robot-gladiator.

In “Hamegg’s Robot Games,” Astro Boy is forced to face wave upon wave of robots. Refusing to fight, but only disabling his opponent when the safety of spectators is threatened, Astro Boy’s nobility wins the crowd over. Alerted by the Core’s power surge, the military swoops down and captures Astro Boy, who resigns himself to his fate. As Dr. Tenma, the man who created him, removes his energy source, Astro Boy forgives him for what he is doing. This display of innate goodness finally opens Dr. Tenma’s eyes to the terrible mistake he has made. Reconciled to the son he had wrongly rejected, he allows Astro Boy to escape.

The destructive Peacekeeper, which has been given the incredibly dangerous negative Red Core energy by presidential order, is out of control and causing havoc in Metro City. Astro Boy returns to help the citizens, fighting the Peacekeeper and saving Metro City from crashing to Earth. In the climactic battle, the strands of the story come together as Astro Boy accepts his mixed human-robot nature and finds his destiny as mankind’s savior.
