I felt ostracized and ashamed. I then (swear on Peanut's health) *won* a Cabbage Patch doll in a drawing at Safeway. Loved her to pieces. Felt whole. Still have her. <br />And yet I share your view wholeheartedly. Tickle Me Elmo my ass. Beenie Baby my ass. Snoopy Sno-cone Machine...well, probably. Cuz mama likes the sweet.<br />P.S. On this post's main point, I agree that the H1N1 anti-vaccine crowd seems totally oblivious to the facts. I'm warily pro-vaccine, and refuse only a few. But the fact that this bad boy is so freaking contagious, and seems not to willingly mutate but to dominate all other viruses in its path, is pushing me where I never go---flu vax. I've never been high risk before, or so exposed on several fronts, so I'm getting it as soon as possible.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-77612132455527779112009-10-17T17:41:34.369-04:002009-10-17T17:41:34.369-04:00"because there is no way on God's green e..."because there is no way on God's green earth that I am going within a country mile of a toy store under those circumstance."<br /><br />Rumor has it that that is the purpose of Grandparents.Heading outhttp://bittooth.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-5209087957790002412009-10-16T16:36:37.564-04:002009-10-16T16:36:37.564-04:00You can place your bets now, Anonymous, because th...You can place your bets now, Anonymous, because there's always a chance that time will prove me wrong. But the flintiest corners of my soul are the ones that relate to the morals I want my kid to have. He cries until we cave on co-sleeping? Fine. <i> Project Runway </i> is on, and I'm too damn tired to figure out how to arrange him so he remains un-besmirched by the evils of television? He'll live.<br /><br />But I find it nauseating that parents would rather trample each other and behave like animals than teach their children that there are more important things than having The Latest Toy. It conflicts with the values that are truest and most important to me. Maybe I'll cave, but if I do, I will consider it a failure.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213051268392108382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-24887456690852589842009-10-16T16:07:01.043-04:002009-10-16T16:07:01.043-04:00PS...

There is NO WAY on earth that you would not travel half way around the country searching for the latest craze in toys and fight a hoard of angry people in order to bring home the next Cabbage Patch toy thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
