It seems cliched, but I've got good news and bad news on the economy, or at least that's how I've always imagined it feels like when something new and disastrous is in store. The bad news: no matter what the panelists say, it's only going to get worse, even if Fox News says your wrong if you think that way. The good news: as long as we run our proposals, in order to right this ship, through the parameters that money doesn't mean anything, how great the losses, we're gonna be out of this recession in 10 years. Just print all the beautiful paper with dead presidents on it you want without gold or basically any value backing it, or, how it's being done now, imagine you've already got the paper, just raise the rate of a number, and our national debt is fixed.
That's right, you see, the American government wants to raise the limit on our national debt in hopes that it will fix our financial problems. We spend too much, that's the problem. So, because we spend so much and made a "boo-boo," let's raise the national debt 1 trillion annually -- that'll cover our asses, or more so the asses of the people who led us into this mess, then we cut more departments, programs and promotions on the federal and state levels, for each state willing to cut their funding to their arts-programs or let's say education budgets, just hacking off huge chunks of money that once went to aid those departments, the more cut the more of a fraudulent write-off it becomes in hopes that the federal government will step in and possibly reward such behavior.
Now that tens of thousands of retirees have lost their social security that they were promised and collected up over the many years they labored for those in the private sector, let's do that same to the veterans who fought for this country's interests in foreign territories; those who might have been injured in the line of duty, let's take their nest eggs to fund this disturbing American greed, and then have the director of social security extend letters of apology out to those expecting a check in the mail, "Sorry, but your money is kinda on hold (not coming) and will be on hiatus (being transferred into another bank account)" Next words should be what are you going to do about it? We've elected leaders who have appointed crooks to the highest departments of the government, and they have in-turn robbed us as was the plan, so they could insure their own prosperity and leave us all holding our dicks, even the girls...with dicks.
See, they're not going to be in office for very long, so they need to assure they'll make money once they're out of office. Al Gore did it. He put his mouth to work advocating a healthy planet, which he received lobbyist kick-backs because that's what he essentially is, a big, green lobbyist -- he's got his nest egg, and it's ever-growing. Legislation enacted by the support of other advocates for a greener Earth, and boom, more money for Al. People aren't interested in bettering our planet, they're interested in bettering their nest eggs.

Egotistic Reviews, and later, Our Economy
What's the point of always making a point of things? Having YOUR say with everything? Yep, I'm really going to start things like that, fuckin' hypocrite, but I'm tellin' ya, the barging in with your own opinion, or commanding, apprehending, or directly intruding on a topic to voice your own just doesn't settle right with me. Now I'm going to do something I've done in the past, where I've copy and pasted some actual reviews on this blog that don't belong to me -- they're just out there, ready to be plucked. The reviews from others will be in italics, and then I'll comment on why these are so irksome to myself. The topic that these reviews relate towards was Barbie's -- how many is too many for my daughter, considering I buy 6 Barbies for her for Christmas and her birthday, within 10 years that's 120 Barbies. That seems like a lot.
Well, yeah, sounds like you have it all planned out, but you may be forgetting one thing...whether your daughter actually likes Barbies...hehe =D
When I was growing up I got those dreadful things all the time, and hated them. My brother played with them more then me. I really loved stuffed animals, but my parents would always say I didn't need any more, but like clockwork every b-day or christmas I got at least one dang barbie doll, if not more.
My daughter, on the other hand loved Barbies, and she had lots of them and the clothes to go with them. And a lot of Barbies is like, 40! 100 seems like a lot to me, but hey if your daughter does in fact like them and want that many, go for it.
Also, as much as my daughter loved them, she out grew them at 8. She boxed them all up and gave them to a set of kindergarten twin who squealed with delight.
I'm not sure what kind of teaching you are talking about, but I do know that after about the age of 7 or 8 children just want you to talk to them straight up. At least that's how my kids are. My kids do have a much larger vocabulary then most of their peers, and I think it's because I explain things to them all the time and never use a "dumber" way of talking to them then I do adults...But of course, I'm not familiar with what exactly it is that you want to teach with the dolls, so it may work beautifully for you. Good luck! =D
Starts off alright, complimentary, which is positive in giving your 2 cents, but notice the next time she uses YOUR is like the third paragraph; everything else is ME, I, MY. What's even more ignorant, okay the woman's daughter must love Barbies if she's consistently asking for six of them for Christmas and Birthday's. Yes, that's the daughter ASKING for six, the mother didn't start that, and bullshit to those who don't agree. When I wanted to get a friend of mine's kid started on Legos I didn't up and buy him 5 or 6 fucking sets, tear open all the bags, and pour them into a tub and say, "Have at 'em, Johnny!" "Put as many of them in your mouth as you can fit!" I bought one medium-sized set with bigger pieces because he was still only a few years old -- having the toy kill him was not the idea I had in mind, I wanted that kid building and having as much fun with the Legos as I remember having as a child, but the off-chance he despised building shit out of blocks, I didn't waste a gob of money on something he wasn't going to tinker with no mo'. Why would this reviewer even question whether the girl actually liked Barbies, did she not understand the point of the original, she was commenting on how she wasn't enthused over buying so many Barbies, for a child I perceived who LOVED Barbies...Speaking of teaching, somebody should teach this bitch to be humble, and not be so domineering to direct the subject back to yourself all the time. That's being egotistical.
I'm also with Siddova - I HATED Barbies. They just sat on my shelf. My sweet Grandma gave me 2 and made a bunch of outfits for them. She even bought a child size suitcase to put them in! My stuffed animals on the other hand, I had "sleeping spots" for each of them. Now, I have lots of real animals instead of the stuffed ones. lol
My 8 yo daughter has not played with the few Barbies she has. She has got about 5 given to her from about age 5-8 and she's only played with the animals they've come with. The Barbies just sit on the shelf.
I also agree with talking to your kids matter-of-factly and using a larger vocab to teach them. I dunno, but this reminds me of a scene from "What about Bob" when Dr. Marvin is "talking" with his 17 yo dd, Anna, about their feelings, by using puppets that look just like them. LOL!
Good luck also!
I don't know if I agree with using a larger vocab to teach them. A kid is either going to understand the words you are using, or not, and let's hope you have the patience to translate each "new" word you decide to use with them, and that you yourself are intelligent enough to know the full meaning of the word(s) and when they are appropriately used in language. Another person who didn't pay attention to the topic when they were supposed to be reading and comprehending what it is they're READING. Her daughter likes Barbies. YOU didn't, that's why you intruded with your own little piece of life shit, and fuck you for doing so! For all purposes, I don't think I've met a person yet who would care to remember your dislike for Barbies as a kid, you dumb cunt. That wasn't the reply she was looking for! Now, relating that you have 200-300 Barbies yourself is sending the message, it's okay to have 120 Barbies in 10 years, I have this many Barbies (venereal diseases) so your kid won't be the first to reach 120 by 10, I've done better. Egotistical.
