Lindsay Lohan Sues E-Trade

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:00:51 +0000

I am sure that you have all heard about how Lindsay Lohan is suing E-Trade for the use of the name, Lindsay. Portraying the baby named Lindsay as a milkaholic.

Celebrity lawyer Daniel Horowitz says that the use of the word milkaholic is obviously meant to poke fun at lindsays personal problems with drinking a bit too much “milk”.

What do you think? When you saw this commercial, did Lindsay Lohan even cross your mind???

Or do you think that Lohan is being a bit of a baby, no pun intended.

Please comment telling me whether or not you think that Lohan will win this lawsuit or not.

Have any of you heard about the new study that the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center is doing?

They found that freezing tumors in mice can help to stop the spread of the tumor. They are currently evaluating if this same technique could help in stopping the spread of breast cancer tumors.

They have also found that once you have had a tumor frozen there is less of a chance that you will have another tumor later in life. Almost like a vaccine for breast cancer.

Week 20
Your body: Unless you have been advised from your health care provider, sex is a good way to relieve stress and to “touch bases” with your partner. If you’re not in the mood, that’s okay too.

However, don’t go and buy an expensive pair of glasses because your vision to return to its normal condition once you’ve delivered. Also your belly button may become an “outie” due to the uterus pressing on it from behind. Some women have said that putting a Band-Aid over it will prevent it from painfully brushing against their clothes.
