I'd read that Roxanna Sabeiri was already reunited with her parents in Iran-- they were waiting for her outside the jail gates, and had been staying in the country with family friends for the last couple of months. That picture above of the family, by the way, is adorable.
That teenage birth in a playground item is just insane as images go. Maybe it's the grimyness of my childhood playground, and the meanness I expect from so many kids, but that just sounds so traumatic.
Gavin DeGraw doesn't use profanity, he's practically a Christian artist (and not in a *cringey* way) - so a *cleaning up* of his song for kids DEFINITELY wouldn't have profanity. Silly parent - feed your kids McDonald's, but don't let them listen to squeaky clean Gavin DeGraw... psssshhhh
About the singing to the cows - has anyone read a chicklit book called "Blessed are the Cheesemakers"? I bought it when I was in Europe, so I think its not available in the States, but it is about, amongst other things, a dairy farm where the cows are all named "Maria" and the milkmaids sing "The Sound of Music" while milking the cows. Its a hilarious bit of light reading.
In other news, the fine people of Tennessee have also decided that you must petition the courts before you obtain a marriage license, and complete a challenging game of Simon Says before you are allowed to wed.
A Sacramento woman survived a car crash because she was hurled out of the car, over the the highway sound wall, and landed in a plum tree in a backyard. Firefighters say she survived because the tree cushioned her fall.
There's a rather obvious "plum lucky" pun here that's ripe for the plucking, but my mother always taught me that truly witty people don't go for the low-hanging fruit.
@baraqiel: You would not believe how terrible some counterfeiting jobs are. I had to get trained on how to identify counterfeit money for work a couple years ago and the police officer that trained us showed the staff pictures of some especially egregious examples and it is amazing what people think they can get away with. Like replacing the face of Sir John A. MacDonald on a $10 bill (this was in Canada) with a Ken doll. Seriously.
1. I don't know about Georgia specifically, but most of the people I see with saggy pants in the Midwest are POC. Is this subtly racist? Or just people being turds?
2. I don't care for this style. I end up staring and wondering how you manage to not just walk straight out of your pants. A dude at work wears his cinched with a belt under his butt. It's like... what is holding those pants up? If I did that, I sure as hell wouldn't be wearing any pants.
3. I want to say something about how the boy has a nice silhouette, but I am not sure if that is either pervy (I don't know how old he is) or if that's not allowed. I also like his boxers.
@awinoforever: Ah, I see. I kinda thought so, but I didn't want to be racist myself in thinking that and making assumptions. :D Thanks for the clarification!
