This lovely graffiti was forwarded to my Facebook account countless times. I deleted most of them. It’s one of several notorious Facebook chain letters and spam messages that just keep endlessly circulating in that contained little universe.
When a guy spams his entire friend list with this, I can take it as another proof that men are childish.

A homeless man has stationed himself right next to the local Whole Foods store, where I do my weekly grocery shopping. He has an ever-changing display of signs, where he explains how he got to be homeless and asks people for any kind of help - even a can of beans. When it gets sweltering hot, or very cold outside, he disappears, and I always wonder where he is and hope that he was able to find a warm, clean shelter.

So yes, I am fascinated with the fifties.
And it’s true that my Wordless Wednesdays are never completely wordless.

MomGrind has a new tagline.
After Friday’s little discussion, it occurred to me that just like Denise, I love mommybloggers, and want to be a mommyblogger, but there’s a strong possibility that I don’t know HOW to be a mommyblogger.

Regardless of what you do, or what happens to you, I will always love you. There is nothing that you can do to make me stop loving you. Even if you mess up terribly, I will still be there for you.
I will always be grateful to my mom for saying this. I didn’t mess up too badly. I guess I’m a conformist. But those few little messes that did happen, proved that she had meant what she said.

I don’t know. I might, at some future point. But right now, I am still hesitant about exposing too much of my children’s lives.
It’s not safety that I’m concerned about. The potential exposure to non-local lunatics does not endanger children, in my opinion. I worry because my kids have no control over this exposure. Even if I asked their permission to write about them, and post their pictures on my website, and they gave it to me, would that permission really count? They are 6 and 8. They are loyal and loving and eager to please. They are not in a position to truly be aware of, and consider, all the pros and cons of online exposure.

These 1958 bras look quite uncomfortable. And POINTY.
But hey, they’re cheap!

Spring and early summer is my favorite time of year, because my garden fills with beautiful, blooming, colorful roses.

“I will kiss your feet for some luv on this (provided that you like it).”
The email included the blogger’s name, the post title, and a link to its page on Digg. The article was hilarious and very well written, so of course I immediately dugg it, and I wasn’t the only one: it got hundreds of diggs and landed on Digg’s coveted front page.

Today commemorates the Nazis’ highly organized effort to rid the world of its entire Jewish population.
They managed to rid the world of most of its European Jews: six million Jews were gassed, shot or died in the ghettos and in concentration camps before the Nazis were stopped in 1945.
One would think that the lessons supposedly learned from the Holocaust would ensure that the world would not tolerate another genocide, but the latter part of the twentieth century proved that genocides were still possible and that the world was not quick to intervene and bring an end to them.
