One of those tests…
Ok. I took one of those tests. It was the T&A and Cuteness test. See results. Like horoscopes, I think the results of this test could have said most anything and you would nod your head and agree.

Progressive Walmart?
This interesting article labels Walmart as "progressive" and good for the poor citing that Walmart’s $200 billion-plus assistance to consumers rivals federal programs such as food stamps ($33 billion) and earned-income tax credit ($40 billion).

Another interesting tidbit is that the "average Wal-Mart customer earns $35,000 a year, compared with $50,000 at Target and $74,000 at Costco."

From the mouths of babes
Amy, 3 years old, was playing with these finger puppets and announced, "it’s Star Whores!"
Anyone else notice the irony in the manufacturer’s choice of colors, politically speaking?

De-stress! Walk the dog.
More acceptance that animals reduce stress.
WALKING the dog, stroking the cat or even swimming with dolphins could be the best medicine for coping with stressed-out modern life, doctors said yesterday.
