Now tagless for your comfort.

Vanity Fair has been running lots of articles on the poor Hedge Hogs for a while. I have zero sympathy. Some of their wives are hocking MILLIONS of dollars in jewelry to pay their bills.

When I went in to have my ring repaired I saw a youngish woman in the shop with three small children trying to sell her wedding set for money. They couldn't even give her anything for the scrap value. That sucked.

This might be a good time to mention that Modest Needs recently added a grant category for people who've been laid off:

Modest Needs makes Bridge grants by remitting payment to a creditor for a relatively small, emergency expense on behalf of an individual or family suffering from short-term unemployment due to the current economic downturn.

They do cool things, so I wanted to spread the word. And for the still-employed folk... right now they have a matching grant for recurring pledges. Not to be all Sally Struthers about it, but even small amounts add up.

Yeah, at this point I think the state might want to step in, as there is something seriously not right about this woman and I have serious doubts about anyone being capable of single parenting 14 children under the age of 8.

I'm completely in love with our WiiFit. The kids and I had a blast this morning heading soccer balls.

Clown Car Uterus Lady sounds crazier and crazier. She's probably not doing herself any favors by putting her story out there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wish I had bagels.

Has anyone used Ancestry.com? I'm considering trying to track down our family information and looking for the most user-friendly website to keep it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Terrace Bagels have solved their rat problem and have reopened!

For some reason I'm picturing the store with a giant banner that says, "We've solved our rat problem!"
