From the latest headlines...
Now this is a movement I could really get behind.
This one not so much I think. Of course I support the idea of alternative fuels, but I just don't think I could bring myself to go into Lowes and say, "Could you tell me on which aisle I might find the manure furnaces?" or to start shopping on the Internet for good deals on manure.
Jo March would be rolling in her grave:
Dear mother,
Your six-month old probably doesn't yet feel the need to sport $300 dresses and $200 shoes and parade his or herself before audiences and the flashing lights of cameras.
Dear Lanina's mother,
Lanina probably didn't smile as much or win Miss Personality because you didn't make the time to feed her breakfast. Three-year olds- need to start their days--particularly high-pressure "smile-pretty-for-the-people" kinds of days--with a good breakfast.
Some people's parents...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mr. Snowbank. Who else do you know who gets so dang enthused over weather? (Of course, in my other life I am a meteorologist and a part-time storm chaser.) I used to get actual chills up my spine when he broke out the white coat (pardon the pun).
Just wish I would've written this headline (which is, I'll admit, better than the actual story. I would've made something up--some secret romance, ghosts from beyond, etc.)
From K-Fed to Fed-X. I'm going to keep going all the way through until I'm 30," he says. (Because 30 is so old.) "Then I'm really going to sit back and take some time off." (Honey, hasn't your entire life been sitting back and taking "some time off?")
One more reason you shouldn't be caught dead without your scriptures.

What part of encouraging a "social problem" don't these people get?
"Privately, many recruiters say they're troubled by this behavior. But some seem more willing to embrace the trend than to mock it, especially as the labor market tightens. Instead of ridiculing hovering helicopter parents, some companies now try to woo parents and children."
Labor shortages...baaahh. Give me the job then. I don't have my parents setting up interviews, writing my resumes, calling in sick for me, holding my hand while I go to the bathroom....
No nerves touched here with this issue.
But you like feed Jooj, right?
Lyle:
No holds barred, I'm not above ridiculing: Get your own lives people!
i totally knew brittany and k-fed would break up!
La Yen- I really like pagents (but not kid ones) and I LOVE cheerleading.....oh well.
I am not knocking pageants (although I'm not always above that) and I never even mentioned cheerleading.
It's just my opinion that six months old is a little young for all that pressure put on by some mothers. Also, I put Lanina's mom right up there with those parents who get mad and mean when they are at Wal-Mart at 11:30 p.m and they find their young offspring feeling a little whiney and uncooperative.
Note to such parents: Feed your children; put them to bed at a decent hour. It's sort of the minimum daily requirements of parenting, is it not?
