• Alter Egos: Wool Cape (Shopping Articles Blog)

  Aug 21st 2011 1:41PM This is not an article, it is an add for several products, and the "cape" shown is NOT shown with any of the articles of apparel. BTW there is a difference between a cape and a poncho and the terms are not interchangable. If someone purporting to be a style and fashion reporter doesn't know the differece, please spare us. The title of the "article" has nothing to do with the content of the piece.

• Parents Upset After School Yearbook Lists George W. Bush, Dick Cheney as Worst People of All Time (ParentDish)

  Jun 2nd 2011 8:02PM Katty is right. I don't know if the it's the kids opinions or not, but it certainly goes along with what the rest of the world believes and they are right. Bush and Cheney are responsible for thousands and thousands of deaths, incredible injuries and just plain stupidity. I'll give you one thing though, I'd have at least put Pol Pot on there somewhere, but probably after W and Cheney. Some of you are so far to the right you probably haven't seen your noses in years. If these kids learned nothing more in high school than what terrible people Bush and Cheney are, at least they've learned something that will benefit mankind - and you supporters of the terrible two have not. I'm not saying it belongs in the yearbook, probably doesn't, but it is true that those individuals do belong on that list.

• Mother of 'Genderless' Baby Storm Speaks Out (ParentDish)

  May 31st 2011 6:42PM This is anyone's business precisly how? The mother has stated several times just in that article that she has not asked her other kids to keep storm's gender a secret. Guess these jerks just can't wait for the young one's to tell all. And as for those of you passing judgement, STOP IT! Shut the heck up! It's none of your business. You are the problem and obviously the ones these folks are trying to avoid.

• 20 New Twists on Potato Salad (Kitchen Daily)

  May 15th 2011 3:07PM I'm sorry, but if your 'same old potato salad' is considered boring, you just aren't trying. I've never known anyone who makes potato salad even semi-regularly, whose recipes wasn't beloved by all who tried it. There is nothing wrong with experimenting once in a while, but I have to say - and I think most agree with me jusdging by these posts - there is no way I'd change my recipe, not for anything. Good old fashioned potato salad is one of those things in life that you need to be able to count on. Everyone I know seems to think mine is the best but that may be because they are the folks I make it for. I'm sure your family prefers yours. I've had them on the sweet side, the spicy side, the milky side, the dry side and mine (the perfect side) and they all have their loyal adherents. Long live Old Fashioned Potato Salad. Down with pretenders!

• 20 New Twists on Potato Salad (Kitchen Daily)

  May 15th 2011 2:59PM Small red onions are called scallions where I live, but may not be where you are. I've never seen any vegetable with so many names as the tasty one we've always called scallions.

• How to Choose a Great Middle Name (ParentDish)

  Apr 21st 2011 10:12PM Couldn't agree more. And I LIKE those names these gals were putting down. The reason they are so popular (and NO there aren't enough little girls...) is because they enhance the first names they follow. There's a lot to be said for a melodic name. Traditional, biblical names may very well have meaning. I thought this article was just stupid. I am a mother of 8, grandmother of 17 and great grandmother of 3 and have had plenty of experience choosing and having input into names. None of the were 'the easy way out' and all are beautiful.

• 'Barefoot' Backfire: Make-a-Wish Kid Turns Ina Down (PopEater)

  Apr 1st 2011 8:57PM She doesn't owe anybody anything??? Did you really mean to say that? You are as addlepated as she is if you think she got where she is today not owing anybody. You are an idiot.

• 'Barefoot' Backfire: Make-a-Wish Kid Turns Ina Down (PopEater)

  Apr 1st 2011 6:59PM Ina Garten has always seemed to me to be way too full of herself. This action just proves it. I will never watch her again. I think it's important to support people who do good and to let the others know what you think by not supporting them.

• Surprise Proposal (MyDaily)

  Mar 31st 2011 1:17PM I have to agree. I doubt Carrie Ann even noticed Regis was there. Sometimes you can be surrounded by a crowd and still be the only two people in the world.

• Make Your Own Mixes (Kitchen Daily)

  Mar 30th 2011 11:02PM This is in reply to Mastershake. Did you not notice she already works 2 jobs? Take your "watch less TV" comment and think before you speak/write. No one working two jobs needs snide remarks like that.
