Don't Get Me Started with Linda Sharp

The Bare Necessities

I doubt this is what Baloo was singing about, but it's still funny.

Air New Zealand has a new ad campaign and an accompanying on board safety video.  Taking a page from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue which now routinely features several ladies in nothing but paint, watch closely...

Have Fun, Stay Safe! (and don't throw your sparkler on the roof - your Dad will get pissed at you...)

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Sarah Palin Article

I was out for many hours today with the girls and returned to find my inbox crammed with links to stories about Sarah Palin's resignation.

Thank you all for making sure I was in the loop.  :O)

Yes, I have chimed in, but have done so at the DGMS Politics blog.

I'd Try To Explain, But You Just Have To Watch...

MJ's Rehearsal From June 23

Thin?  Yes.  He always was.  But I think this video puts paid to all the stories of him being incapacitated or unable to dance and sing.  I'm now more inclined to believe his long time friend Lou Ferigno - he was ready for this comeback.

Watch for the tiny smile at the end.  RIP.

Ssssssstupidity Ends Child's Life

I realize I'm going to catch it from someone out there who is going to go on about how I "just don't understand".  Or from someone who wants to lecture me about how "they make great pets."

Bullshit.

A 2 year old child in Florida is dead because her mother, and mom's boyfriend, Charles,  thought an 8 foot python is a good pet.  (Of course, he did not have a permit for the animal.  Who needs to bother with niggly details like that?)

Yesterday, little Shaiunna Hare was found strangled to death in her crib by the family's pet python which had escaped from its cage in the night.  She also had bite marks on her head.

The 911 caller is heard screaming, "The baby's dead!  Our stupid snake got out in the middle of the night and strangled the baby."

Sorry, but the snake isn't stupid.  The adults who owned the snake are stupid plus some.

Cats.  Dogs.  Ferrets.  Hamsters.  Fish.  Those are housepets.  A Burmese python is NOT.

My heart goes out to that poor child.  May she rest in peace.  As for the adults in her life?   This is a huge price to pay for some common sssssssssense.

Introducing Gianna Denise

Just heard back from Ronnie - with her permission, I am happy to share her email update this morning, and introduce her gorgeous granddaughter to the DGMS family.

Hi Linda--

 

Just getting home after a VERY long day. Gianna seems to be doing much better. Thank you so much for the post and thank you to everyone for the lovely thoughts, prayers, energy and cyber-hugs!  They've done tests and have ruled out her lungs (those are fine, thank God!).  At this point, they are assuming it is some sort of infection which they are treating with antibiotics.  There is a possibility it is sleep-apnea, although she hasn't had an "episode" since around midnight last night.  There is also a possibility that it was nothing more than her needing to remember to breathe.  If she can go all night without an "episode", she will be able to room with Mommy tomorrow!  I will keep everyone updated.  Thanks again to everyone!

 

p.s.  The NICU staff agrees with Gramma that she is one of the most beautiful babies they have seen!

 

Here are a few pictures:
