The first winners were male partners who did party food.  I forget their names, but they had a show on weekend mornings called Party Time or something. 

I voted for Amy this time too.  She had interesting information and knew what the heck her angle was at the word go. 

Here's an article that analyzes the revenues earned by movies without foul language, violence, explicit sex or substance abuse compared with those that include these things.  As you can see, depravity loses bigtime.  Good on you, American movie-goers!  You're rewarding decency and punishing filth-peddlers the best way possible - with your dollars.

One time about 5 years ago, I was driving on the interstate, my SO now DH riding with me.  Was just passing the rear of a trucker, cars behind me so there were witnesses to this and I couldn't just slam on my brakes, put on his signal and tried to pull out anyway.  Since I was already passing him, kept going, and he ran me off the road to the center.  Pulled back on and continued to pass him, had his window open and flipped me off.  I didn't see it because I was trying to control the car, but the funny part was my DH (SO) rolling down the window and hanging out giving him a double one back all the way until I got in front of the truck.  I said WHAT is going on!!  He told me the bas%$@d flipped you off.  Come on, they're high enough up to see there's a car right in front of them they want to pass.  I told SO I'm slowing down and get that guy's plate number so I can report him.  He slowed WAY down and stayed so far back that I finally gave up... Guess he wasn't in such a hurry after all.  We still laugh about my husband's ~chivalry~ that day, him hanging out there giving him the double what for!  Wish I had a pic of that for posterity

Not dissing truckers here, my own brother was one for quite a while and have had a couple who stopped to help me and went out of their way when I had a flat tire on the interstate one time in rush-hour traffic on Friday afternoon.  My brother said that was really nice of them because it's money out of their pocket, but he did always say to report truckers who are playing games because it's so dangerous.

DS (15 yrs old) came home from school yesterday and I asked him what was new. He said the usual - "Not much."

Then.... "Oh, yeah, we learned how to put on a condom in sex class."

I about fell over!!!! Apparently, the teacher had a ... uh... plastic "subject" and she asked for a volunteer to come up and apply the condom to the ... uh... model. And it's called "Health class," but he refers to it as "sex class."

Whatever happened to food fights in school????

No, seriously, I'm glad they learn this stuff. You know what they say, "The More You Know...!"

There are online websites documenting how many men versus women in each city of this country and the number of women today far outweigh the number of men......

jes sayin'............. 

One time quite awhile ago I was pushing my youngest through the mall in his stroller.  There were two boys goofing around in the middl of the mall with the parents right nearby.  I had to stop suddenly because one of the darlings wasn't watching where he was going and fell over the stroller.  I said, "Excuse me!" with just a bit of sarcasm and the father had the nerve to yell at ME because I was rude.  I then informed him that his kid was the rude one and kept walking.  That one still makes me shake my head.

what kind of lettuce/other green leafy stuff do you like when you order/make a salad?

A couple of times I've gone in restaurants and they have brought me a salad that looked like they went out back and pulled weeds. Now, I love veggies, but that's some scary stuff. I'm simple..I just want iceberg lettuce!...then I can add other goodies that I can identify.

I have only met one (1) pit bull in my life.  It was very pleasant, wanted to be petted, and never hostile.  What I did notice is how muscular it was and I remember thinking that I wouldn't want that dog to snap at me.  All dog breeds are capable of being aggressive (especially if there is a dominance issue), but some breeds are more muscular and less *intidimated* by humans than other breeds.   It seems to me (dog experts, please correct me) it would be easier to pull a Yorkie or a Cocker Spaniel off an attacked person than a pit bull.  I don't know how that applies to bigger breeds like labs or retrievers. 

However, my humble opinion does not make up for the fact that you could face the loss of a loved family pet.  I hope it works out for you.

Anyone remember how the old stores were when there were 'Main Streets'? Remember the wood floors and the merchandise in wooden bins on tables? Remember the cookies and candy they sold that was all encased in glass? No escalators, and only the best stores had elevators? Elevators with a man asking 'what floor'?, elevators that creaked and had criss cross bars across the front, instead of doors that closed? Evening in Paris perfume for our mom's at Christmas, Old Spice or hankies with his initial on them for dad? Remember when all you could use was cash? And of course, those wonderful lunch counters? I remember one of them sold sardine sandwiches! Anyone remember?

My son and his best friend, along with their dates went to a quite expensive restaurant before their senior prom in downtown Atlanta. Between the 2 boys, they probably had just enough for dinner, no dessert.

After their meal, the waiter brought out 2 big plates of dessert. Well, the boys kinda panicked...not knowing if the girls had ordered the desserts behind their backs or not, and knowing that they couldn't afford to pay for them.

Long story short, the waiter told the kids that someone in the restaurant had sent over the dessert and picked up their check! My son was so excited, he called me from the restaurant...thinking his dad and I had done this wonderfully generous act. It was tempting to take the credit, but we didn't.

They have no idea who it was but it made their night! I know, not related, but just a nice prom story!

My MIL is OBSESSED with whether or not we have any money and what we do with our money.  It IRRITATES me to no end!  I mean we HAVE our own money, we don't ask her for money, so get out of our bees wax!

She came to our house when I was re-decorating my bathroom.  I was doing it in roses and I was buying the stuff for it piece by piece and she was in the store with me looking at stuff and I showed her the garbage can I was going to get and it had roses and matched everything else, although I didn't get it that day.  SOOOO my MIL goes to the dollar store and buys me a plain white trash can and brings it over and tells me and my husband that she got that for a dollar and SAVED ME $19.00 for the 20 bucks that I was going to spend on a garbage can!!!!!  I told her I wanted the other one because it went with my theme and she told me that was ridiculous because this one serves the same purpose!  I was so mad, but trying to hold my tonge and then my husband told me he didn't want me getting the other one cause it may "hurt her feelings".  He said if i got the other one to just trade them out when she came over.  FURIOUS, FURIOUS, FURIOUS, that woman STAYS in our business, it's horrible!

I have an 18 yo son and a 16 yo daughter and this subject comes up occasionally.  So far we haven't had to worry about their drinking or drugging, and it may have something to do with how both our pasts have been part of our teachings, age-appropriate, of course.  We both come from alcoholic families though were blessed never to become alcoholic ourselves, but we've shared some of our expeirences from the standpoint of how they made our lives more complicated.  We strive for simplicity in our family, and they can see how immoral behavior almost always makes for a more complicated life.  At 18 and 16 they both just tasted wine for the first time (other than church) this Christmas and none of their friends drink, or even smoke.  They know their grandmother died of emphysema. 

They also know that my life changed drastically when their oldest brother was born 37 years ago when I was 18, and also that both their father and I have struggled hard all our lives because of not going to college.  For every "but you came out okay" there's the answer that it could have been so much easier to get here had we made different choices, and making the right choices is what it's all about, isn't it?

Mine is Little Critters Omega-3 Gummy Fish. Cute concept but the berry, lemon and strawberry flavoried gummies somehow manage to taste like fruity flavored fish When I got them, my kids gagged with the first one and wouldn't even touch the second one for the recommended 2 a day. So guess who is choking down 2 of those suckers every day now?
