someone once asked me if I thought I could "handle" another one.... my response.... "nope, we're giving this one to the system to make sure all those people stay employed".   Um, duh, ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer!

for our first we went with a combination of preferred first (Emily) and a family middle (Rose), and only after she was born did we realize we'd named her after a horror movie! :-)  For the second, he was already out and we were in the delivery room sorting through old family names trying to find something that wasn't p...more

Oh, come on!  Who really cares what shape your soda can is???  I'm so sick of hearing about how things are being redesigned and improved, when all that's being done is visually reinforcing the message that only tall, skinny women are beautiful.  Next they're going to tell us the whole point of the can is so that women ...more

I'm surprised that one of the examples in here wasn't to get your meat through a butcher or hunting.  I realize that most people don't hunt (which if you process your own meat comes to about $50/yr for 30-100 lbs of deer), but anyone can find a butcher, especially a local farmer who butchers, and work with neighbors or...more

Whoever wrote the article on these cartoons had to be either an adolescent boy, or was strongly influenced by one.  Only those who really don't care about their children would let them watch SpongeBob over Dora, Diego,etc.  As a mom of 3-year-olds, I find SpongeBob to be incredibly offensive and degrading, not to menti...more
