Yo, Rudolph

Yesterday evening, Monday, Nov. 13, 2006, in the Infants/Toddlers section of K-mart, searching for a booster seat, we heard the most horrible, shocking, earsplitting sound.

Christmas music.

Jingle-freaking-bells.

It's not even Thanksgiving.

Last night, after kid was in bed, watching TV...every other commercial involved the Santa holiday.

Ho-freaking-ho.

Even worse. The ACE Hardware next door to our daycare put up Christmas trees in the window before Halloween.

Wrong. Just wrong wrong wrong. (Don't get me wrong though...my Christmas wish list is well under way and easily accessible by typing in my name at Amazon.com. In case anyone's interested...)

I've heard that Walmart is returning to a Christmas season, rather than a Holiday season. FWIW.

I know what you mean. I hate feeling forced into Christmas earlier than I'd like. One of the radio stations here started playing non-stop Christmas music the day after Halloween. NON-STOP CHRISTMAS MUSIC. Thankfully, you can avoid radio stations if you want to. But now I'm starting to be ready for it.

Now wait - you can go to Amazon and create a wish list that people can search for? Is this essentially like registering for Christmas, which I think is a FABULOUS idea?? That is AWESOME. :)

make sure your radio does not switch to 104.5.

I took them off the car memory as of Nov 2nd, when they started playing it throughout the day.

I'm guessing that I will turn around & walk out of a store that is playing it constantly

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...
