How to Know If You Gave You're Child The Right Name
Have you ever wondered if you should have named your child something different? Oh, like you think you picked the wrong name? Here's a quick way to tell: head down to the ShopRite and see if they'll put it on a birthday cake. If they will, you've got the green light, my friend. However, if they refuse, you possibly made the wrong decision. Just ask Heath and Deborah Campbell of Greenwich, NJ.Their precious little 3 year old has the name Adolf Hitler Campbell. Yep, that's right... Read Full Story
The Nutcracker
I never liked watching ballets. However, in my uh uhm...adult years, I have wanted to learn more about the Nutcracker. It actually tells a story, it's not just a performance. When we were growing up, the Nutcracker was something boys did off the high dive, when they hit the pool or another one: the device used to crack pecans. Actually, it goes a little deeper than that. Shame on me for such shallow thinking.This idea was started by writer E.T.A Hoffman. It's a story about a little gi... Read Full Story
Upside Down from a Very High Tree
I've been watching 48 Hours tonight. They finally found the remains of little Kaylee Anthony, within a few miles of her grandparents' house.

Real mothers don't harm their children and then get on with their lives, going to rent movies at Blockbuster and on shopping sprees to Target. How in the hell do you call yourself a mother, then not worr... Read Full Story

I'm not usually into politics, but a dude this damn funny deserves some recognition. I take it that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is not one of Obama's favorite friends right now, trying to sell his chair and all...Ole Rod looks to be aging gracefully with his college kid look. I swear he doesn't look a day over 30. I wonder if he'll age much in prison?What he thought he was getting?Instead, he'll get matching bracelets and Big Bubba as a best friend. One thing's f...

The Purse
My purse makes me mad. No matter how many times it's cleaned out, there's always something in there that doesn't belong. I don't know about you, but I like the stylish purses. The over grown pieces of leather that it took a whole cow to make type? Yea, that's so me. I have this thing, though. It looks so good in the store, but when I get it home, in 2 weeks time, I've changed my mind about it. The thing is this: the purses all start out with good, stylish intent. Howev... Read Full Story

Reindeer Food
I don't remember where we got this, but we have had it for several years. This reindeer food is intended to be sprinkled on the lawn and is not for human consumption. You were warned and if you sue, you're not gonna get anything anyway. This recipe makes enough for one child to sprinkle on the lawn. If you have more than one, just multiply it, or I guess you could divide it.Reindeer Food1/2 cup of raw oatmeal3 Hard Pinches of Glitter (I use silver, mixed with red and green~one pinch e...
