That is pretty funny! Hey your kid has an inquiring mind and that is wonderful. I bet you were pretty glad you caught him before he found the goods though!

I like people with principles. If only more people would stop supporting businesses that screw them over. Convenience is usually king, so good for you!

That fact makes me shudder. Pure unadulterated evil. Sure you may buy this melon. You may also feel free to starve if you cannot afford another. There will be no seed saving. I really don't see how this ends world hunger.

I had similar advice. I keep mine in the living room and floss while watching t.v. Since moving it from the bathroom cabinet i floss pretty regularly. Seeing it around helps. Just make sure to wash your hands so you aren't tainting everything around you, especially public things. You probably already knew that though.

good for you for speaking up! it can be intimidating because these people are supposed professionals, but when you witness the negligence over and over, that fact doesn't really make you feel so comforted. i always relish the scene in terms of endearment when shirley maclaine (sp?) screams hysterically for someone to…

that does make it a little better. i thought she kept going on about her big day after you knew you were not invited. and i can be a little spiteful from time to time.

i have witnessed doctors practically massaging the plastic edge on my dad's hospital bed just prior to examining a horrible sore on his foot. he was diabetic and not healing. this was at a v.a. hospital. my mom spoke up. the other fun story was when my brother was in icu at a public hospital with multiple open wounds…

yes and yes. i um, feel you? haha, but yeah. at the movies, i will always end up with popcorn down my shirt. thank god it's dark in there as i dig around for errant salty snacks.

i really hope you didn't get them a gift. that is really rude and tacky to omit you from the celebration (if you are close friends) and fill you in on all of the boring details of planning. tack city.

yes, that does make me feel better. thanks for the schoolin'!

hell, even if you were lying......kids need approval and attention. not many kids are going to lie about their reading stats. ("being a farmer isn't too cool you know.") she should have at least tried to be discerning and encouraging. it sounds like a few teachers i had that wanted to knock (little!) kids down a notch…

aww! i have an apt. lion!

me too! Canyon the sand cat is my go to for happiness. i harass everyone into watching the videos. he is magnificent while marking his territory. there are multiple vids of him. he is small but clearly fierce. they say he was imported during desert storm to preserve his species in case war demolished habitats. first i…

as a kid, my fantasy of heaven was to be able to cuddle and pet the big cats. not much has changed.

"where's the paper bag that holds the liquor? just in case i- feel the need to puke.."

cheers for the bbc. peep show is what first comes to my mind. great show, featuring real teeth and women who have enough body fat to have real boobs. all of the characters are well-written and nobody looks like they are killing themselves for their jobs. except super hans sometimes, but his character reeeeeally loves…

yes! i was starting to feel like i was in the twilight zone. where have all of the diet coke-heads gone?! oh well, more for us.

nice new jingle lyrics!

educated dumb people are real. i have met them.

i will wager that they can afford the army you speak of.
