That's what I was thinking. The boxes are there for the 1400 babies who were still abandoned illegally, despite the safe haven laws.

I do not remember them but now I wish I did!

This was my thought too. I'm looking outside my window right now at the freezing cold weather and I would much prefer that a possibly scared or confused mother had a place to put the baby that is safe from the elements in case she is not in a mental or emotional place to face actually seeing anyone else at that point.…

Touché. :-) There were a couple of others mentioned from someone in Canada that sounded pretty worthwhile too. Seriously, I might have to move out of the country for proper snack treats.

Here is the long answer:

What the WHAT?! I disagree with this man on a lot of things, but really, how can a thinking human being equate handling ISIS and the Wisconsin protestors?

There have actually been some really interesting articles recently about the crazy divided nature of Wisconsin politics, particularly in Milwaukee and the surrounding suburbs, and how it contributed to Scott Walker's election. The history of how the state became one of the most polarized politically is fascinating.…

According to the New York Times, some parents are hiring chefs to train their nannies in cooking quinoa and kale and whatever other fancy artisanal stuff the kids are into these days. So you know, some people are doing their part to balance out the scourge of the cotton candy Oreo with equally random ways to inspire…

Oreo on my phone tried to autocorrect to O'Reilly. If I am thinking of delicious treats and my mind is turned to Fox News instead, I am one unhappy camper.

I know this makes me a curmudgeon, but seriously, is there an Oreo "innovation" other than the Double Stuf that is worthwhile? I get that some brands (the kit Kat examples from above come to mind) make some amazing new varieties, especially for international markets. With the Oreo, I have yet to see a new flavor…

Thank you!

The first time I interviewed in a suit I felt like I was wearing my dad's clothes. Every time I have to go to a client meeting, I ask my boss if I have to wear a suit while making a face that indicates just how much I hate suits, and he always tells me no. I love my job. :-)

Well the discussion that I've seen in legal circles is that the right to be forgotten, at least as currently imagined in European law, requires that Google doesn't link to the document but would not require removing the document from the web. So, in essence, for people who really need to know and can dig in the right…

Just like my Grandma used to wear (and that is not a joke actually). ;)

I keep one suit at the office in case disaster strikes and I truly need it. Still, as most of my clients are thousands of miles away, they're unlikely to show up unannounced. I feel for you because suits every day would kill me.

Well I'm generally on the phone with my clients so it works out just fine. For meetings I make sure I'm in a nice fitting dress because the suits are not very flattering on me.

I very much like the logic and get it. If I work from home I get fully dressed for that exact reason.

My practice group lead is awesome and super important at the firm, so he flouts the dress code and shows up in jeans and damn near camping vests on a regular basis. I basically want to be important enough someday to just say - that dress code is a suggestion right?

Yeah dress too nicely and I'll think I'm overpaying you. :-)

We always tell new associates now not to wear suits without a damn good reason or people will think you're interviewing. :-)
