I’m Too Young for This

February 25, 2008

Yesterday was the Eldest’s 27th birthday. DG is 14 in a week — my baby.
With all of them shoehorned in here, I feel like the old woman in the shoe. It’s one thing to have three kids in the house when they’re kids. When they’re adults and teens, it’s a [...]

The Problem with Judging Kids

February 25, 2008

Dear judges at Saturday’s Irish Dance competition:
Quit screwing with my kid. This isn’t sour grapes; it’s a sincere appeal for you to earn what you’re paid and give these kids at least a little tiny bit of feedback in exchange for their performance.
Saturday’s competition results were disappointing, but not because of the place you [...]

Games Pharmas Play

February 21, 2008

I wasn’t exactly happy to read that Shire had raised the price of Adderall XR by 33.5%, following the trend of other pharmas to raise prices on medications that are shown to be effective and are often prescribed.
According to the WSJ article, the higher prices are supposed to force patients to new medications [...]

Words Matter. Really.

February 21, 2008

Bill O’Reilly is a big-mouthed bellicose twit. He isn’t afraid to toss epithets and names around, but he always manages to walk on the very edge of the firing line when he does it. Ordinarily I don’t even read the text of what he says because he’s so annoying that he distracts. But [...]

EBay Users, Take Note

February 19, 2008

Evidently Scientologists have enough administrative access to EBay to delete listings that they view as patent infringements, such as the so-called e-meter. (Note, the listing was removed shortly after the screenshot was taken).

How can they do that?

If you’re uninitiated to eBay, you’d probably think that for each of these removals, the Church of Scientology [...]

Larry King Memorial

February 17, 2008

Larry King’s death is a tragedy, but his family and friends are working hard to turn it into good.
While he was still on life support, his family donated his organs to give life to others.
Yesterday over 1,000 people marched through Oxnard to honor his memory and call for tolerance and understanding of others. [...]

Open Letter to SaveOurKids.net

February 16, 2008

Dear SaveOurKids,
Meet Larry King*, age 15, deceased, murdered in cold blood on February 13, 2008. He died because he was different. Effeminate.  Inappropriate, if only to the likes of you.
On February 13th, Larry got up, got dressed, put on some of the blue eyeshadow he really liked, slipped on his black high-heeled boots, touched [...]

Caremark: Oops, Sorry!

February 15, 2008

It’s been awhile since I wrote about Caremark, mostly because my battle ended with them when they finally approved Sticks’ medication after fighting me on it for well over two years. In the process of that battle, I suggested that they did not approve his meds because they wanted our doctor to prescribe [...]
