@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: I know, I am so upset now after reading that. In situations like this I wish I was ill-informed or maybe that I had the power to block things out of my mind. I hope something can be done about it soon! I have a 3 year old boy and it breaks my heart because I can't help but picture him in that situation.
@Notes from the underwhelmed: Seriously, she even says they lost business after 9/11. I love that it took over 7 years for new inspiration to strike.
There is a used car or car repair or something place on the NW side called "Barrack's" or something similar. I assume it's been doing fabulously lately.
@Notes from the underwhelmed: Me too. My boyfriend at the time lived near it, and we were together during 9/11 (and after). I always amazed that it 1) managed to stay afloat with a name like that; at least from the outside it looked pretty grungy too, and 2) it wasn't burnt down or vandalized in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
Doesn't McDonald's already have an anti-litter campaign at the point of sale? It's on the tray liner and the bag and possibly also the other food containers. I'm almost certain. But then again, I wasn't raised in a barn and don't toss my trash on the ground after I eat. I have no idea what is wrong with some people.
@TheFormerJuneBronson: I think 20% of McDonalds diners in my area don't bother with tossing their trash on the ground. They leave it all sit on their table and simply get up and walk away.
I've always thought they're either:
A. Pretending they are dining in an actual restaurant or
B. So used to their maids at home they're completely clueless when left to fend for themselves.
I prefer to think it is -
C. They are complete and utter idiots, slobs or both.
@EdenMoore: Last year I saw a woman with 2 children do this while I was jogging on the Mall in DC-- she just threw her napkin on the ground and kept walking. There are garbage cans *everywhere* on the Mall. I picked it up, caught up with her, tapped her on the shoulder, and with completely innocent expression said, "Excuse me, you dropped something!" and jogged off.
"In a depressingly ironic twist of fate, Alec Ahsoak, a 53-year-old sex offender, recently won $350,000 in a lottery sponsored by an advocacy group for sex abuse victims."
re: Drew Peterson -- anytime I read about a woman dating a guy like this, or similarly violent/awful/terrible, I just want to go, "You know, it really, really, really is okay to remain single."
Sigh. The chick was crazy enough to go live with the (allegedly) murderous bastard with her 2 kids?!! In what motherfucking world does that make sense? Couldn't she leave the behbehs at her parents for a while, while she adapts?
Misanthropy sequence starting at 10...9...8... damn too late.
Arresting and torturing a 2 year old in order to get his mother to confess to falsified charges is a crime against humanity. The story about Nigel Mutemagau is beyond sickening. I really hope the press can get some results.
@Little Time Bomb: co-sign!! are they trying to kill the baby? coz that's what they"re doing, sick f@*#cks!!!!! i'm in south africa, right next door, and this ain't in the news! i'm sending the item to all our major press!!!

Truth is stranger and nastier than fiction. I assume they're going to disqualify him.
I wonder how women like Drew Peterson's new girlfriend can be so stupid, but then I flip the channel to Rock of Love Bus and it all be comes crystal clear... I fear the movie Idiocracy may very well become a reality.
@WaltzingMatilda(theOriginal): That opening scene where the smart couple doesn't reproduce and the dumb ones do.... it makes me wanna run out, find someone smart, and start having lots of unprotected sex while my eggs are still sorta fresh, just to push some more smart genes out there. And it makes me want to bug all of my friends who got degrees to do the same.
@Bunson.: Seriously - this is a motivating factor with me and Mr. WM. We are AMAZED by the number of high school douchebags that have had enough kids to make a Patridge Family band. Yet, we - and all of our friends from college, law school and grad school - have yet to procreate. These eggs ain't gettin' any younger.
@Penny Plastic (Archetype): Only if it is for excessive sweating or other medical conditions. But if you want to erase lines and wrinkles, you pay for it...
Doesn't pregnancy also cause the brain to shrink? Might the estrogen be causing in both cases? Shouldn't it have been obvious once everyone knew pregnancy did that?
@sportz.star: I'm sort of concerned about this. I'm on HRT because I just couldn't function with the intense hot flashes I was having up to 20 times a day. I tried to go off it and was okay for a few months, but then the hot flashes came back, even worse this time.
@cocobanal: You may want to try acupuncture. I was talking with a patient in the waiting area of my acupuncturist's office who is seeing her to lessen the symptoms of menopause and she's having great success. (I see her for carpel tunnel syndrome and it's changed my life!)

I once saw a woman throw some trash on the ground, then turn and walk into her house. I was so flabbergasted.

yes it was the only thing that worked for me when I had bad carpel tunnel after my first preg. Also helps prepare for labour.
