Allyson, if it won't activate your mother hen protective instincts we can call the Minister of Kill-the-stupid-people.
None of it means a damn thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have a list for the minister.
No one will miss them.

I recently read somewhere that you should not get a pillowtop, because they flatten out before the mattress wears out, and just buy a mattress pad with your mattress.
Cute, but I'm worried about the fate of these pigs: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, is that why they're wearing little tiger outfits? So they don't look like snacks? Super-cute, in any case.

Bush trying to one-up Al Gore?
During a speech at Tuskegee University, President (and iPod user) George W. Bush told his audience, "the government funded research in microdrive storage, electrochemistry and signal compression. They did so for one reason: It turned out that those were the key ingredients for the development of the iPod."

I lusted after my mattress for about a year, bonding with its sample for several minutes each and every IKEA trip, finding any excuse I could to go flop on the thing.
I heart my mattress.

Well, if my cats ever figured out that pig=bacon, those little guys would be doomed. I'd hate to think what a tiger would do to one.

Ohhh I love ours too but we have a tempurpedic. It's very, very comfy and when we sell the boat it's coming with us, the old mattress can stay with the boat. We had to get a new custom made mattress for the oldest kid's bed (it's in the bow of the boat) and she was so mad at us because the new one isn't as comfy as the 20 year old one.
ION, I'm accruing overtime as I wait for powerpoint slide to print... 12 copies of 30 slides. I've been printing almost all day, I'm gonna be here for at least another hour while my husband takes the kids to the movies. To make matters worse I have to come in tomorrow to finish the rest of the slides and print them. ugh Work sucks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anybody research-y around? I'm comparing 1990 and 2000 census data, and I'd love to use median household income, because I think it's dramatic, but I don't know how to take inflation into account. Or if it's even worthwhile. This would be one aspect of a paper that's not a huge deal to begin with. Anyone?
ETA: The prof said something about comparing to median income citywide, so maybe I'll play around with that.
