My Fear of Generic Drugs - Blog Entry20 Oct 2009 01:39 AM Thanks for the tip Nadia, I'm just glad I learned my lesson before I hit retirement age. Do You Check Your Receipts - Blog Entry20 Oct 2009 01:38 AM Oh YEAH! I'm a frequent checker too, but sometimes when my kid is really squirmy I skip it, and when I do, I always (and I mean always) find a mistake and end up having to make an additional trip back to the store. The checkers are never apologetic. Same with the fast-food people. My dad is a stalwart when it comes to checking fast-food receipts and the contents of his bag. For some reason in the 40-something years he has been ordering fast food the guys at McDonalds/Burger King/KFC/Dairy Queen/Jack in the Box/Wendys, etc. have NEVER gotten his order or change right! Zhu Zhu Mania! - Blog Entry16 Oct 2009 08:42 AM It's interesting CatMom, I have YET to see the Zhu Zhu commercial on network TV--just Nick Jr. I don't know why, but with limited marketing they sure have something crazy going on. Also, I'm with you--PBS rules, and if it were not for the fact that we had free cable for a while, my kid would only know what was going with Arthur, Dinosaur Train, Super WHY, Martha and Clifford---Zhu Zhu wouldn't even be on her radar screen!!

Moms Behaving Badly - Blog Entry15 Oct 2009 07:50 AM LOL Andrea, you answered my question: I wondered if it was a southern thing to drive with dead animals on the front of the vehicle and live kids on the roof. ;-) Birthparents from the show 16 and Pregnant Have Bittersweet Moments But No Regrets - Blog Entry13 Oct 2009 03:30 AM I was so amazed by the huge fan base the teen parents generated. Millions of people LOVE those kids. I applaud their courage and see why MTV gave them their own reality show. I think it is a segment of adoption that is not reported on much and I'm glad to see that these seemingly humble and mature teens are getting the credit they deserve. I watched the follow-up show to 16 and pregnant hosted by Dr. Drew and the entire audience stood up and cheered when Tyler and Catelynn came on stage---and the audience was filled with TEENS! Why Schools Are Banning Hoodies - Blog Entry12 Oct 2009 08:38 AM HSFAN, do you wear hoodies to school? Do Time Outs Really Work With Toddlers? - Blog Entry12 Oct 2009 08:13 AM I agree Shill12306, time outs don't work for all kids. What's more, I don't agree with "experts," who claim that the reason they don't work is that parents are not doing them right. Granted, some parents don't grasp the concept and don't follow through, but the method is simply not effective for ALL kids. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 |
