Friday laugh
Yay. The end of another working week. So here's an oldie but a goodie to give you a good laugh. Glad I clean up before the cleaning lady comes around.
There’s a list of ugly baby names
That Twitter is an amazing research device. Really we should just rid of all those people who do research for a job and just listen to Twitter. It's got its finger on the pulse of the world. (I just made that up but if anyone thinks it workable in [...]
Gotta get me some of that juice
Watching Toddlers and Tiaras is a bit like looking at a car crash. You know you should look away but there's something about tragedy that just sucks you in. Like Honey Boo Boo. God bless Honey Boo Boo, daughter of the world's most delusional [...]
Oh school days
This image (click on it to increase size) came to me in one of those then and now emails that are doing the rounds. Interesting isn't it. And uncomfortable close to the truth. When did we take away our children's responsibilities and blame [...]

Breastfeeding–another form of slavery. Well that’s what a world leader said.
Really people overthink things and then say stupid stuff. It's the only explanation I can offer for French President, Nicholas Sarkozy who popped out with this series of little clangers last week. Addressing a group of young French mothers he [...]
Behaviour test for teens
This is my weekly column from the Townsville Bulletin's Savvy magazine. Can you touch type? Kudos. Big merit to you. Well it would be a big merit if you were completing the 100 Point Behaviour Test for Teenagers formulated in 1953 by Dr George [...]
Pregnant pause
I got my toenails shellacked yesterday. They look like beautiful pink jewels and they're supposed to stay that way for a month. At least that's what the man said at the nail place where I got them done yesterday. (Don't bother warning about shopping [...]
