Month: February 2004

For some reason, Leominster cancelled morning and afternoon kindergarten, but not the rest of the schools. It’s NASTY out there. Made a run for gas for the car (didn’t think to take the gas can for the snowblower because we were only supposed to get 2-5 inches before it turned to sleet), and some groceries to make Mr. Dump a birthday dinner. We normally all go out for birthday dinners, but I don’t think that’s going to happen tonight. He can be birthday boy again tomorrow and pick a restaurant.

It’s snowing hard and fast out there. By the time I finished shoveling the driveway (I found out we only have half a can of gas and when I used the snowblower the other nice I ran it dry, so I’m conserving what we have left cause I don’t feel like making my way to the gas station right now), the part I’d shoveled first already needed shovelling again. I could have stayed out there all day. I finally realized I’d been out long enough when it occurred to me that there was so much snow in my hair (the part sticking out of my hat) that it was frozen solid.)

I’m tired. Anyone want to go get me a coffee?

Once again, Nat writes something so well it removes my need to even cover the topic. Go over and take a gander at her site so that I get credit for sending you over there in the list in the right column. I want to show her how many Dump Readers you can fit in a pickle jar.

It’s another eggs, bread, milk shopping day. I think those of us out here in the Boston suburbs are due to get it a bit worse. This time around, it’s fun with ice! Yay!

I am not going shopping in preparation for this, at least, not grocery shopping. I will be picking up some medication refills, but I need those anyway. And I stopped at Bolton Orchards on the way home and got my banana supply. So if things get really bad, I’ll have bananas and Wellbutrin, baby!

Make sure to read the comments Natalie added to the post under this one. She makes some excellent points…but I do wonder how these boys are not suspended from school for this behavior? If nobody punishes this behavior, they may as well be getting the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. “It must be okay, nobody batted an eye.”

(Okay, that should thwart people searching on Google)

Enough. Women have them, Men have them, but we only get up in arms when a gal is exposed. We’re spending more energy on this stupid story than we are about other wayyy more pressing issues.

Unless you have HDTV or a super large TV, it didn’t look like much of anything I haven’t seen on TV or in magazines before. Lil Kim wears less. Ya, I know that she showed off the actual part that is forbidden, but you couldn’t see it in the little flash of skin that was on a regular television.

No, she shouldn’t have done it, but I also think we make WAY too big a deal about them in America. I mean, they are there to feed babies. Why are they some mystical thing that cannot be seen? The more “forbidden” you make them, the more focus there is, and the more we get to the point where it’s a national crisis when one is spotted in the wild.

Ya, ya, it was on network television. You know, I’ve been to England and France, where they show them all the time and you know what? It’s so common that it’s boring. I watched television in a room with teenaged boys, and there were no snarky comments, no little evil “heh heh heh”…nothing.

Why do women have to hide them but men don’t, exactly? Why can Janet be fined, but some dorcus who took his shirt off and painted a team logo between his big man-boobs in the stands cannot?
