How Much Is That Daughter In The Window
OK, not that I need anything else to make me feel older but I wish I didn't know that the Ellen Degeneres TV talk show has been on the air 6 years this week. WOW! *** Ah to be young again is not exactly in my vocabulary after reading that the father of 9-year-old Slumdog Millionaire star Rubina Ali who has been accused of trying to sell her to a wealthy couple in Dubai. Which is just horrifying news. Did this guy never hear of Madonna? The father, Rafiq Qureshi used the excuse "we got nothing out of this film!" and blamed his brother Moiuddin who actually helped boost the original asking price from $75,000. Apparently the child's value went up after her family took for a free appraisal on the popular Southeast Asian TV show 'Batik Roadshow.' *** The Palm Beach area of Florida is being inundated with abandoned pets. Private pools often host iguanas that were once birthday gift, undeveloped land between condo high-rises are home to fluffy brown and white bunnies, peacocks wander freely from yard to yard and even the occasional former yellow Easter chick, grown into a large white chicken, wakes up residents in the early morning hours. To address this breeding frenzy, communities have implemented new and stricter pet adoptions laws. To deal with the most dangerous of the critter infestation is a law that requires anyone buying a python to purchase a $100 annual permit and to have a microchip implanted in the serpent. Some sources will allow the purchase of a more expensive chip that upon death of the snake will become a belt buckle. This allows the owner to sell the carcass as a fashion accessory and re-coupe their licensing fees. ***
