Too Good to Be Food: Dannon Greek Yogurt (That's Fit)

Mar 31st 2011 12:00PM Because those hormones and antibiotics don't have any health effects on the people who consume products made from the treated cows; however, if you would like to pay more I'm sure you will always be able to find somebody who is glad to sell you organic.

Peanut Allergy Protest a 'Misunderstanding,' Florida School District Says (ParentDish)

Mar 23rd 2011 4:27PM Thank you for calling me out by name wow. You may not have been able to glean it from my comment, but just so you know, I have the same anaphylactic response to certain foods that toemouse and your brother do. Toemouse is indeed playing the victim in her comment. "Each minute out in public" has zero chance of "being her last" if she's responsible and carrying her adrenaline. Seeing as how you've never been to an allergist, I understand that you fail to comprehend that the patient bears most of the responsibility for recognizing and treating their own symptoms, and that a mass sterilization of an entire elementary school is highly irregular and unnecessary. To do so is indeed "sheltering her from reality" because hey, guess what, the entire world has not been sterilized of peanuts. Your own metaphor is a little unwieldy for this situation as well because the situations are not equal, a fairer comparison in your metaphor would be that nobody is allowed to drive on the street because a child may want to play in traffic. Sorry bud, but being melodramatic about possibilities and throwing around the disabled label isn't helping anybody. Nor is it "saving" lives.

Peanut Allergy Protest a 'Misunderstanding,' Florida School District Says (ParentDish)

Mar 23rd 2011 2:44PM Quit playing the victim. Carry your epinephrine with you. There's also a possibility you could run over by a bus everyday, but since you behave responsibly that possibility is next to zero. Allergies are the same. The school is grossly overreacting in an attempt to reduce their liability and not doing this little girl any favors by sheltering her from reality.

PS. What world do you live in that there is peanut butter smeared on nearly every surface? Maybe your allergist can recommend a good therapist.

Bride Sues Groom for Leaving Her at the Altar -- To the Tune of $95K (Lemondrop)

Dec 16th 2010 11:29AM I haven't seen anybody address how this man felt about the 100k wedding. He may have been perfectly happy with a 10k wedding. When my wife was planning our wedding, I thought that it was unnecessarily extravagant. She made several expenditures against my wishes. Unless the fellow encouraged the expenses, this woman has no one to blame but herself.

I Became a Stepmom by 25 (Lemondrop)

Jun 2nd 2010 11:54AM This story is so poorly written that I wouldn't trust this woman's analysis of the half hour television programs her children watch. She reveals herself to be vapid, self-absorbed and everything she pretends to abhor. Her husband must have plenty of money to keep her complacently mouthing off to others instead of henpecking him.
