Carrie Prejean didn't lie to beauty pageant officials even though she'd appeared semi-nude in photos a few years back, so let's just get off that high Godiva horse right now. Here's the thing: Since the old pictures were of her real breasts, she never actually exposed the new breasts she's now using for contests. Those were the old, God-given breasts, see? So, technically speaking, the world has never actually gotten a look at her current breasts. No exposure, no violation of pageant rules. Case closed. (Oy)

If he hits you once, he'll hit you again. And he says he will kill you, he means it. This is an opportunity to teach our daughters to protect themselves against domestic violence.

I a amused that it takes a Democratic president to stop this abuse when it is the Republican party that is traditionally supportive of states' rights. If businesses are operating within the law of their state, seems like the Federal Gov't should leave them alone and use their resources elsewhere.

Vain is a salon in Seattle that, like my salon, does a lot of crayon colored hair. I like this one. She is one of their stylists (surprise!)

Wayne, the reason kids' hair gets so tangled (so I am told) is that the outer structure, the cuticle, is not yet fully keratinized and so has weak spots where it can grab against itself (kind of like velcro). The best was to help tangles is to use a shampoo that is not too alkaline (baby shampoo is the worst) because it swells the hair and makes it rougher and then to use a detangler that is slightly acidic. Silicone smoothing serums can also be helpful.

Do you think you'll continue to have dog(s)? I can't think of life with my Golden. Kaz is my second, Max was my first: http://flickr.com/photos...

I would also always have a Golden, would you also have the same breed of dog?
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol - yes, after these 2 go I'll have more doggies. I'd have more now if my hubby would allow but not pushing my luck. Springer is the first pure bred I've had. Think I'll either have a full Lab next time or a rescue doggie that speaks to me.

Texas the Great Dane. http://getsomehairapy.files.wo... lost his sister, Georgia, to bone cancer this summer. The plan for when he passes is to be dog-free long enough to redo the landscaping. Next dog will be equally lazy. No terriers for us!
