<b>Happy Newsletter Day friends!!!</b> and you know what we do on Newsletter day? We take the day off!!! Yay! Speaking of friends... I was looking through facebook today, and <i>man</i> I only really know about 18 of my 356 accepted friends. So, I opened it up for discussion among my "real" friends... and they have a rule which I thought was pretty cool: they will not accept you as a facebook "friend" unless they can tell a funny story about you.
So to be in compliance, I will be deleting about 343 “friends” today, now don't get mad, or upset, go ahead and send me a story about yourself and you can be saved from the little trash can icon that lives on my desktop...(of course this is all a ploy to get YOU to write me...) My facebook status today: <i>Eric is getting ready to tell you what's in this week’s fantastic episode of <b>"News To Me."</b></i> <b><u>The “Water Torture Cell” stunt lives up to it’s name</u>:</b> At an NBA half time show an escape artist’s hands and feet are shackled and chained in every way imaginable. She’s lowered into a full tank of water and locked inside. After 3 minutes it’s clear… something is wrong… she can no longer hold her breath… and with the crowd in awe, her body goes stiff in the tank. See the scary video and find out what went wrong. <b><u>A Brother’s Love</u>:</b> <b>iReporter Aaron Butler</b> lost his little sister in that terrible <b>terror attack in Mumbai.</b> This weekend, he shares with us his memories of his sister, Naomi. It’s a powerful interview and a reminder that love will always conquer hate <b><u>$78,000 flushed down the drain</u>:</b> It’s one of the most popular videos on <a href="http://www.cnn.com";>CNN.com</a>.
