I hate to say it, but I couldn’t help but think that the tampon commercial that you saw during an epidose of Dirty Jobs was pretty ironic, considering that tampons themselves have a pretty dirty job.

My husband and I are having a baby soon (hopefully this week, our due date is Saturday!) and I can tell you that we are definitely going to make sure she addresses adults as “Mr.” and “Mrs.” I think it shows a lack of respect for kids to call adults by their first names. That’s just my opinion, though.

Again, happy birthday!

The Wii Fit sounds like something I need to try. I workout at a gym once a week, but I can’t seem to get moving at home. Maybe that would motivate me… I’m looking forward to hearing more of your WiiFit progress.

Most of the kids I know address adults as Mr./Mrs./Ms. whoever, but it’s usually by last name. I grew up calling adults Mr./Mrs./Ms. by their first names. I find the last name thing incredibly formal, but most of our friends are seminary families from other parts of the country (I was born and raised in Louisiana) wouldn’t dream of their kids using our first names. It’s hard for me to remember to have my kids refer to them by their last names. What’s with all the formality?

how lucky you got the wii fit. i cant find one anywhere here in OK.

I do not normally post any polical opinions but you started it!

Do you not know the GOP knows they will can’t win, thus the unelectable McCain and his surely unelectable VP choice? Come on; after the last 8 years even my wife is voting for Obama & she is from NH! I do not agree with all of Obama’s views but I think the “change” movement has far too much momentum to be reversed at this point and part of me thinks the GOP may know this. What kind of political move is it to choose a woman, even that woman anyway? I like the Juno reference.

If we learn from history, the outcome of the election will be settled by a judge somewhere due to the politics of the day. I doubt McCain is the type to contest a close election, he seems to me to be the type that would know that is not best for the country right now. I find it off-putting that Al Gore is such an authority on Global Warming and yet I have not seen him driving around in an electric/hibrid car. Just as with all politicians it is “do as I say, not as I do.”

I am grateful to have been born in the US and I am more grateful for the election process (it beats that of Cuba, Iran and Venezuela to name a few) and the fact “anyone” can be elected however just as last time it is the lesser of two evils again. Who to choose? I am glad to have that choice. I will be voting for Obama. It may be for all the wrong reasons but I as amny others am tired of the old white guys in office. He cannot do much worse. My main concern about Biden is his position on Net Neutrality. At least he has a record to be concerned over. Palin has little to review and what has come up is not flattering. If something were to happen which caused her to be presidant, I do not think it is a good thing.

What do I know, I am just a red neck from NC.

p.s. I can’t believe you like McCain… He’s a cranky old man who, if left to his own devices, would probably cut ties with Vietnam for personal reasons..aka, no more visiting the parents overseas. Mom is Vietnamese you know… she knew of McCain… not fond of him.

p.s.s. His last name makes me think of Cain and Abel.

Based on this post I’m thinking about looking into the Wii and the WiiFit. I’ve been slouching lately.
