Melamine found in Milk Powder: One Confirmed Death

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Remember the tainted pet food that came from China that killed so many innocent cats and dogs? Well, it’s happening all over again, except this time it’s affecting innocent children.

Hundreds are ill with kidney stones and one has already died, all because a plastic (melamine) was added to their milk products in infant formulas. The Chinese government is slow to recall and 78 are now arrested. Seriously, how was this even allowed to happen?

Instead of repeating it all here, read the story in more detail over at Eco Child’s Play. And, please, spread the word. The innocents and voiceless of the world deserve a strong voice.

Reflections on Odd Punctuation

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

I’m not sure why, but it always weirds me out when someone using punctuation a space or several spaces after the end of a sentence. Especially excessive punctuation.

Example: “Congrats !!!!” or “Hello ????”

Does anyone else notice that, too, or is it just me?

Saw the reference over at Jenn’s and decided I just had to waste some time doing it.

The goal is to pick five cards from someecards.com that describe yourself in “amazingly unflattering ways.” I can totally do that.

I could never forget your birthday because of pre-programmed email reminders.
I don’t know what I’d do without Google Calendar.

Please make yourself available to talk when I have nothing to do while driving.
I know several other people who give me a call while they’re driving, so I don’t feel too bad about this one.

I want to give to those in need without any physical contact.
My exception is cute, fuzzy animals.

Your busy day is interfering with my slacking off.
Because sometimes, I just need to not feel guilty about doing absolutely nothing.

Just curious if you\'d like to pay me tens of millions of dollars for pictures of my new baby.
You know, because aren’t all baby photos worth that much money?

Links I Like – Bulleted for Your Enjoyment

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Since I am just now catching up on my feed reader (only 120 posts to go!), I have a lot of links I’d like to share. So, I thought it would be best to shove them all into one post. Most (not all!) are pregnancy, parenting or baby related. What can I say? I’ve got “baby” on the brain!
