Paula’s sister Bethany came over yesterday to go shopping for maternity clothes with Paula. Bethany is about three months pregnant and is just getting over her morning sickness. She’s starting to show now, and is anxious to buy some cute and trendy maternity clothes that she can wear to work.
Paula suggested that they shop online instead of traveling to the big mall and walking from store to store. They found the greatest website for maternity clothes; it’s called kikisfashions.com. They were very happy with the low prices and trendy fashions that they found; they had a lot of cute clothes for under $10! Paula was even jealous of some of the really pretty dresses that they ordered for Bethany!
I read that the New York Post offered a half- ***ed apology for their very offensive editorial cartoon that depicted two police officers shooting a chimpanzee and implying that a monkey could have drafted a better stimulus package. Their apology was sort of “if we really offended you, we’re sorry but if you are only pretending to be offended and are really just trying to stir up trouble for us because you are our enemy, then we aren’t sorry at all!”
Then they go on to claim that they were not targeting the President, but Congress in general. Well, since WE, THE PEOPLE elect ALL OF THEM to office, then WE SHOULD BE OFFENDED that they are telling US that we are pretty stupid to be electing a bunch of monkeys to run our government! And if we ARE that stupid, who is to blame? The NEWSPAPERS who did not give us enough information about the candidates who were elected! If we are to be expected to elect people to run the country, we need to have enough information about them to make SMART decisions, and that responsibility SHOULD lie with the news media!
I think that it is great that so many car manufacturers are developing, manufacturing, and selling a variety of hybrid vehicles. Finally they are starting to respond to what the consumers actually want and need! I’d like to buy a new vehicle in the next couple of years, once the economy settles down a little bit and we are a little bit more confident with our financial status. For now, we are looking at cars like the honda civic hybridÂ
and the toyota camry hybrid as the frontrunners for our car search.
My brother has been telling me that he wants to buy the new audi a3. I was reading about that car on the website thecarconnection.com and think that it is a nice looking car. I was surprised to read in that review that they seem to think that Americans in general don’t like hatch-backs and wagons. I love them!
I was listening to the radio this morning and the morning show hosts were talking about a television incident involving a German television star, Hans Blomberg. Apparently during a live television broadcast he groped the breast of a woman who was broadcasting the show with him, and she slapped him in the face – right on live television! Her name is Susanka Bersin, and I say good for her!  This was sexual assault, and she defended herself!
I’ve been reading blogs from a lot of people saying they don’t understand why Susankaslapped Hans. I was not surprised to see all of those posts were from men! Unfortunately a lot of “us” guys really don’t “get it.” And, because we don’t “get it” it is a rare occasion when we DO “get IT.” You know what I mean? A little sensitivity gets you where you want to go guys! If you want to see the video of the incident, click on the embeded video in this post!

Underage drinking has been a problem ever since I can recall. I can remember when my parents would go out for a “parent’s night out” my brothers and sisters would wait for about ten minutes after they left the house and then head right to the liquor cabinet. They would help themselves to a little bit of whatever was in there and have a party of their own. I never drank any with them, I just watched. I was too afraid of the consequences of getting caught! It’s a miracle that they never got caught. At least I don’t THINK they ever got caught!
And I guess it’s no surprise to me now that my brothers and sisters have become addicted to drugs or alcohol as adults. They just had too much fun getting high! That’s all they ever wanted to do, and it has messed up their lives pretty well. One of my sisters has had to go to drug rehab, while one of my brothers has had to go to alcohol rehab at least twice in his life.
Paula and I have talked at length about how if and when we ever got married we would not even have any alcohol in the house at all. It’s just asking for trouble!
