Judge: Hulk Hogan's wife gets $40,000 a month alimony


A ruling has been made in the Hulk Hogan/Linda Hogan case. A Pinellas County judge ruled today that they do not have to purchase the condo that Linda wanted in Las Vegas, but Hulk did not want. They had originally planned on purchasing the condo before they split up, and Linda wanted to go through with it. Hulk thought the property had dropped too much in value.

But Linda did get her way when it comes to money. Hulk was ordered to pay Linda $40,000 a month for living expenses starting this September, and lasting for one year.

Let's hope she makes that last, and doesn't go off spending it all! $40,000 a month is a lot, don't get us wrong, but if she's only getting it for one year, that money won't last forever. Still seems a little steep for Hulk to have to pay that much!

Did you know what the driving secret is?


The secret that will help our pocketbook, and the planet is simple: Slow Down! I discovered this little miracle by committing to drive 55 mph for a week on my commute. I got 40 miles per gallon. The difference in going faster is startling. At 65 mph, it drops to 32 mpg. I consider that significant. What does slowing down mean on the days I drive to Cheyenne? Well, I suppose I make a lot of people angry because they buzz around me as if I'm standing still. Yet, when I get to the stop light, we arrive at nearly the same time.

Did you know that the asshole is usually in charge?

The body was talking to decide who should be in charge. So each organ began its conversation with:


"I should be in charge," said the brain, "Because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
"I should be in charge," said the blood , "Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach," Because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."
"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the body to see where it goes."
"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum And insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and theblood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss..
The Moral of the story?The asshole is usually in charge

Replacing your dirty air filter saves your gas mileage?.



According to fueleconomy.gov driving with an excessively dirty or clogged air filter can reduce your vehicle’s gas mileage by up to 10%. In terms of dollars, that’s the equivalent of adding close to $.30 to each gallon of gas you buy!
Edmonds.com recommends that you change your air filter at least once per year. But how do you know when your car’s air filter is dirty enough so that it should be replaced?
Here’s a simple way to know that your air filter has become so clogged that it has become a detriment to your fuel economy: Remove the air filter from its casing and shine a flashlight on it. If light (or most of the light) is able to get through, your air filter is fine for the time being. However, if most of the light is unable to get through, it’s time for you to replace the filter.
More than likely, the air filter that you would need is readily available at most auto parts stores and you should be able to replace the filter on your own. All said and done, it should take less than 15 minutes to check and, if necessary, replace a clogged air filter.
Sounds to me that 15 minutes and $20 bucks (for the new filter) is time and money well spent if it means your not tacking $.30 extra cents on to each gallon of gas you buy!
