Looks like it will be a NO for me, then.


I'm assuming you don't eat tuna or any other fish that contains mercury? Actually, my husband was wondering how much the mercury in the vaccine compared to your average tuna fish sandwhich. People injest mercury all the time thanks to the rotten care we take of our planet.

I don't do boycotts as a general rule, but my parents make homemade icecream, and if I weren't avoiding it due to Beth's allergies, I'd go where the ice cream is made on site.

Yup. I told my mom mercury is all in the air and drinking water, but then guess it gives you an excuse to not want to put any more in on purpose!

Harvie, my understanding is that the H1N1 hits pregnant women harder than the norm and they are more likely to die from it. Unfortunately I heard that a few weeks ago and I can't remember where it came from so I can't verify it or offer a link. It is not recommended during your first trimester though, just second and third.

Harvie...a lot of things that are pushed or suggested that pregnant women get, they are urged NOT to get in the first trimester. So it could have a lot to do with that for a lot of people.


new topic. A friend just posted this on FB...thoughts?
Vermont is now performing same sex marriages, and in support of this, Ben & Jerry's shops are changing the name of their "Chubby Hubby" ice cream to "Hubby Hubby" for the month of September. link to their website.


Hubby Hubby ice cream??? Ugghh! Now, I think I've heard it all!!

I want to run out and buy cases of it just to make people mad.

I have no problem with a company publicly sharing who and what they endorse. I think if someone wanted to truly boycott over gay rights issues they wouldn't leave their houses or shop anywhere ever again. Avoid Disney at all costs, Six Flags and other theme parks. Most if not all have Gay pride days and offer same sex partners health benefits.

I do think they chose the wrong flavor.. some of the ingredients just make me laugh.

MMmmm ice cream

I'm not a real fan of B&J, so boycotting them wouldn't do a bit of good for me since I rarely buy their product.

However, Braums Banana Pecan??
Oh yeah!!

When they're done calling it Hubby Hubby, they should rename it Chubby Chubby. It's pretty fattening.

I just saw a woman walking her daughter (toddler) down the street -- on a leash. While I suppose, in theory, there could be some benefit to that in a crowded shopping mall, is leashing your child really necessary on a quiet residential street? Disclaimer: No, I've never been the parent of a toddler, but it was a bit startling to see.

Until my kids are old enough to listen to me EVERY TIME I say something, they are either locked into a stroller seat or they are on a leash/harness...ESP walking in a residential neighborhood. Those are almost worse then parking lots!!

I never did it, but my kids weren't wild by nature. We always said that if we would have had a 3rd that would have been the wild one. I think it's ok if your kid is really hyper. I always thought it would be better to teach your child to walk next to you. I don't think you should let your dog walk you like some do with those retractable leaches(sp?) I always walk my dog next to me.

When we are walking the dog he has to stay right beside us, but I like the retractable leashes because then we can let it out and he can run around at the park and still be on a leash. He won't go anywhere or run off, but the law says leash, so that's what we do. I like the retractable leashes for that purpose.

Ya, I can see how that would work better, but I don't know if I could do that with my golden. We have a water dentention down the street and when it dry some let their dogs run around there, but I'm afraid ours would take off if he saw another person. A few years ago I opened the front door to go get the mail and he saw a lady a few hosue down and took off towards her. It was an Indian lady with her long dress on and he tried to go between her legs! Ds use to play this games with him where he would go between ds's legs. I was mortifieds and felt so bad for this lady. Thankfully she was ok. I kept yelling out, "He's frirendly, he's friendly."

My brothers were always on leashes when they were little. They'd be gone in two seconds. The youngest one got away and was lost in a big and busy mall for over an hour. He was a little over 2yo.

I don't know...I guess you could use an animal leash if you wanted to. I personally have harnesses...I think they are safer...cute too, they look like little stuffed animal backpacks.

I've seen this done a few times and it makes me cringe, too. I have two very active boys and have definately strapped them into the stroller at times but a leash??? IMO, leashes are for dogs not kids.

Toddlers dash.

Some parents may have a physical limitation and not be able to catch the dashing toddler.

Some kids are unpredictable and may wait for a car to pass to dash into it. I've seen it.

I always said I would never use a leash. My now 14 month old makes me want one about once a week when she decides mommy isn't fun anymore and dashes away. She doesn't always listen to being called and I have left my cart in the middle of the store to chase her down and grab her now giggling little body.

We have finally gotten her to stop veering down driveways into the street in our neighborhood but I can imagine if I had more than just her to watch it would be a different story.

I had to wear a leash as a toddler because I always wandered off. I have no recollection of it, so it did me no harm. My mom said I liked it.

Yeah, once I saw a child run into a parking lot while its grandparents were right there. I think they just weren't able to move that fast although they were actively watching him, but I was able to stop. A man from the opposite side of the lot saw him and tried to get him, but had I not been able to stop, it would have been too late.

I think it's safe to say I'm addicted to Panera Bread's tuna... I can't make mine taste like theirs.
