Parental leave

Only four countries have no national law mandating paid time off for new parents: Liberia, Papua New Guinea, Swaziland, and the United States.[

How about we fix the support the govt offers to new parents after they have the baby before we debate whether or not we can force them to have one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave

One thing I’ll never be accused of!

I saw this link on MSNBC this morning and though - gee, that’s never gonna be me.  Sorry to my husband, but I think he already knows its a lost cause in my case - LOL!

Adrian Voted off the biggest loser →

I just caught up to week 6 of Biggest Loser last night on ONDEMAND and I’m still so upset over the mean girls on the red team - even Mark was kind of a jerk accusing Adrian of not losing enough when he lost 9 lbs! (and without his trainer and no support from his team)

Adrian got a really raw deal from the biggest loser - first they tell him he is on the show, then they say, only if you lose 50 lbs with your teammate in 4 weeks and then they take away his trainer the 2nd week he is back - Maybe it’s “no excuses”, but I call “FOUL” NBC! 

I am rooting for you Adrian - I hope you get that at home prize!

The Road to Alcoholism:  Got this in an email and searched for it in another method to share here - of course someone beat me to making it into a video.  So cute!

Spying on your kids online... →

As much as I use social media myself, I am worried about the future adolescence of my daughters.  I hate to think that I would need this article, but I very well may… It’s a much different world now!
