There are a lot of shows on right now featuring different accents, aren't there! I think it's great to help kids (and parents) learn to understand how people in other countries talk.

Allergies and Migraines Linked - Blog Entry

Headaches are definitely caused by food at least some of the time. I had a major breakthrough when I finally figured out that I'm allergic to corn. I had a headache almost constantly for about two years, and after I got off of corn, they stopped. (Until I eat more corn or something really annoying happens) The thing is, corn is in everything. It's maltodextrin, dextrose, corn starch, corn solids, food starch, xanthan gum -- you really have to read your labels carefully to avoid various forms of things you're allergic to. But when you can avoid them, it changes your life!

Hey there,

I'm reading a great book right now called Body Clutter. You can get it at www.flylady.net It really talks about how to get right down to it and start your own weight loss. It's giving me some hope I haven't had before.

I really agree with this review. I can't get into the show either. And this is just me being a stinker, but I have a hard time with the fact that the two main characters are a grown man and a little girl. It just seems a little creepy to me that they are the mother/father figures of the show, and yet he's an adult and she's a child. I'm not trying to say there's any hidden pedophile message there, but it just makes me feel uncomfortable. I think they should have cast a boy closer to Stephanie's age or made Stephanie an adult too.

What an insightful blog, Jaime, and thanks for the comment, Miriam. I'm enjoying these blogs quite a bit because the heritage of the Jewish people has always called out to me with its depth and tradition, and it's fascinating to learn more about it.
