For Mother's Day, My 11 Favorite TV Moms (plus Favorite Movie Mothers
2011-05-08 20:45:00 With today being Mother's Day--have a happy one, Mom, and all mothers--I initially thought my post for today would cover maternally-influenced songs.But with only Pink Floyd's "Mother," John Lennon's song of the same name and ABBA's "Mamma Mia"--which really isn't very motherly--readily coming to mind, I considered switching to "Favorite Movie Mothers."But even there, I was hard-pressed to name more than a few, at least among those I could call "favorites." So I floated the topic on the Facebook page of the Chicago Film Discussion Meetup Group.As you can see just below, I received many great suggestions, but most were well beyond my familiarity. So I finally settled on the category of "Favorite TV Moms." Here too, my choices are...

Are Teen Moms On the Rise Thanks To MTV?
2011-04-24 02:13:00 In the past couple of years MTV has caused quite the controversy with the shows 16 and Pregnant as well as Teen Mom. However as each show’s fame grows it has many wondering are pregnant teens on the rise thanks to these reality TV show? The new season of 16 and Pregnant features Jennifer Del Rio and her baby daddy Josh Smith. They are dysfunctional to say the least but that isn?t my point. Josh is now claiming that Jennifer got preggers just so she could go on the show. Who knows if that is actually true or not and that quite frankly isn?t the topic here. What is being discussed here is if the MTV shows are impacting teens getting pregnant. I personally think that given how some of these young mothers have gained instant fame the idea that having a child can make you famous is not a crazy one. Although the show itself doesn?t always glorify having a child as a teen, the rewards that these young ladies get from participating in the show are outrageous. The tabloid magazine, the...

Soccer moms? Vegetables? Oh, well: TGIF!

Making fun of soccer moms. Soccer moms play a vital role in our society; soccer leagues now account for 98% of the gross domestic product, and soccer moms keep those leagues humming.Sweetie was going to be a soccer mom, but we nixed that idea after the time she took the Babies! to the park and then accidentally locked Mr Bunches in the car while she and Mr F were outside... while they weren't hurt at all, it did require me to heroically drive there with my spare set of keys, only to find that she'd already gotten him free with the help of a friendly police officer.So the point of my story is... you should definitely go to freshfunds today and sign up; all you have to do is sign up on their site, then keep buying the healthy foods that you're already buying, for which you'll get points -- like, say, buy...
