I read the original story earlier - after seeing another child lost and not knowing his parents' names, they decided it would be a good idea to teach their kids their names just in case they ever got separated, instead of just knowing them as Mommy and Daddy.

They were just illustrating that time is a flat circle. Duh.

I'm actually working on a story right now where I'm quizzing the prep and precautions restaurants who claim to have GF items on their menus. Most (if you ask for a manager to come explain) will be honest and tell you that the item is GF, but that it's made in a kitchen with other things so cross contamination is a…

Store bought GF bread is gross. I've only found one kind that was halfway decent, and it was actually a hamburger bun. The Mister got me a fancypants breadmaker for my birthday so I could make my own GF bread.

Thanks to this summer's shenanigans, 20 weeks was deemed plenty of time to determine if your fetus is viable. You apparently have to be brain dead to get 24-26 weeks.

The woman that came in late was a democrat who was at her fathers funeral earlier that day. I'm fairly certain she was not asked to come in until the second warning was given, so she could ask for a recap on purpose.

Somehow, the following things have been dubbed not germane to SB5:

What also is not mentioned is this:

If you had any idea how much skill it takes to take truly wonderful pics - plus the editing involved, you'd know that's actually an apt analogy.

For one, "Your camera takes nice pictures" = "Your keyboard makes nice blog posts."

Does it stun anyone that Waffle House donated $100,000 to Karl Rove's super PAC this election?

Why does every story about LiLo sound like a meth lab?

It's simple. Log in to Twitter.

I gave birth at a "baby friendly" hospital. But they were also realistic. John was a month early, and my milk was not coming in as fast as necessary, and he was precipitously losing weight and was getting more jaundiced. So he got a couple of ounces of formula here and there while the LCs worked tirelessly with me to…

Can I be honest? I'd be far more impressed if, instead of trying to take away a viable choice, they encouraged other companies who would make it easier for a woman to continue to nurse to offer more discounts and freebies. The formula market didn't just this way because of marketing - they saturate new moms with…

I may have just emailed and Facebooked him to ask if he was OK with bestiality and cannibalism.

Sigh. Clooney arrested by The Man. A sure confirmation that there really IS a war on women.

I'm weeping over newborn pictures of my soon-to-be one-year-old boy and eating Nutella straight from the jar.

I love Heather Akins in Plano - she's a FP. I also like Wesley Anne Brady, who is in Dallas.

Newborns (at least mine) do sleep. A lot. Just not when you actually want them to. The key is a) engaging in some covert sleep training or b) giving up and just sleeping when they sleep, even if it's the middle of the day. The first month is the hardest, I think, but if you've managed to help them along on their…
