Why do we care if he marries his live in girlfriend.
by Momma to the Right
I have seen a few too many news reports reporting on a non-issue.
The big fight over whether Terry Shiavo is brain dead or if she wanted to die are over. The fact that Micheal Shiavo is going on with his life should not be news. He went on with his life years before 2005 TV drama. He choose to move on when he fathered children or moved in with his girlfriend while Terry was still very much alive. Let us be clear in the fact that his life did not stop because Terry was hospitalized. I do not need one more minute of air time to inform me that he has now married. I really should not be spending blog time on it either.

Mistakes that One Makes with Money IIII
by Fiasco Mama
According to Suze Orman, one of the biggest mistakes that one can do is using insurance as an investment.
Policies that include an investment component are quite possibly the worst financial deal you can make. The cost of these "cash-value" policies (they come in a variety of flavors including universal life, variable life, and whole life) can be 10 times the cost of a standard term-life insurance policy. That's why insurance agents love to sell them: In the first year of your policy, the agent's commission can be as much as 90% of your premium. Please stick with term insurance. It provides all of the insurance coverage you need to protect your loved ones - at a fraction of the cost.

New Black
by
Hot Mama
What is the new black this year? What ever it is I hope it is opaque enough to hide my thunder thighs.
What is hot when you are trying to maintain your sanity. With this year I am firmly into my mid thirties. I should spend more time on my appearance. I should try to be more trendy. How do you figure out what is more trendy? If you currently shop at TJ Max which typically has last years fashions, will you even find the "New Black." Does Wal-Mart designers follow trends or are they too busy importing items to pay attention. I actually watched one of those catty fashion reviews who dished about what the stars where wearing at a recent award ceremony. My only take away is that women are not wearing necklaces and showing neck. I can do that. I do that now, but I do not think people think that I am a fashion diva.
Hopefully, spilled formula does not show up to badly on it.
