Listeriosis-your gonna get a disease from my mouthwash.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/21/national/main6978442.shtml

This is a news article about a food poisoning that happened in Texas.
Its called listeriosis or something like that.
I found it by looking at what people were looking up on Yahoo.com, I guess its called 'What's trending'.
I you go to the yahoo home page its the box in the top right hand corner, usually you'll see celebrities names up there but once in a while I will see something that catches my eye.
When I first saw the word listeriosis I immediately thought about the mouth wash that I use, "Did someone get a disease from my mouthwash?".
It turned out to have nothing to do with Listerine as far as I can tell.
Anyways, this food processing plant in San Antonio, Texas distributed celery that had listeriosis.
Great, its not like parents did not already have a hard enough time trying to get their kids to eat fruits and vegetables.
"Robbie, where do you think your going?  You still haven't eaten your veggies."
"But Mommmm, the news man said that there were killer vegetables on the loose!"
"Oh, my gosh.  Quick hurry up and lock the front door and then take your sister to the basement, hurry!"
"I'll lock the back door, Charles honey put out your cigar there's killer veggies on the loose!"
"Holly Shit!!!  Where's my shot gun!"
Some people have already died and it sounds like the people that were hurt by these killer veggies already had serious health problems.
This is a Wikipedia article describing Listeriosis:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listeriosis
When ever I see or hear the word Wikipedia I think wiki-wiki, you know the sound some does when they are mimicking the sounds that a dj would make...If you get my funny haha then great, but if not then well I don't know what to say.
In other news I watched the last half of the Rangers/Yankees baseball game, it was exciting a little.
The Yankees lost if you haven't heard yet.
I think that is it for tonight.
Good night, have a nice weekend.

I just signed up the adsense program

The title states that I just signed up for the adsense program that blogger offers.
I need to make more money so that I can put the five thousand dollars (USD) each year into my Roth IrA account that I started a couple of months ago.
I also want to purchase a house, but I do not see that happening any time soon.
I really don't expect to make any money but since I want to write a novel this seems like a better option than filling out applications for mcdonald's.
I think I purchased Mcdonald's stock a few weeks ago.
I have a bank account through Bank of America which purchased Merrill Lynch sometime in the past year.
Bank of America used to be just a bank, you know checking and savings, mortgages.
Now Bank of America is an investment bank as well because it purchased Merrill Lynch.
I signed up for a Roth IRA account with Merrill Lynch.
I was going to research the different investment websites to get an idea as to which one is the best but since the Merrill Lynch logo was on the Bank of America website I just decided to open an account with them.
As for me wanting to be a novelist, I haven't really worked on any fiction in a year or two.
I want to make money with this adsense program so I don't have to try go out there and get a job because the economy sucks, its getting better, but its still sucks.
I know that the economy is improving because the prices of stocks for the most part are going up.
I plan on spending at least an hour each night working on my blog, which you are reading right now.
I am going to go back over all of my post on Presto Manifesto to try and make everything better, and I might even go back over all of my post on my movie review blog.
Since I am going to try and go back over everything with a fine tooth comb I probably will not put a new post up every night.
I am going to aim for one new post on here and one new one on my movie review blog every week.
Good night everyone.
