I usually dont talk about politics

But I could not NOT mention the person that got fired from Home Depot over wearing an In God We Trust pin w/ the American Flag on it to work. I have a message for Home Depot: UNFAIR. DISCRIMINATION. AGAINST. CHRISTIANS. IN. THE U.S. EVERY. DAY. IN. AMERICA. And its getting old. ~Trisha

Comment from little girls in thongs..

Ok, I am liberal. I like to think I am liberal. Nudity doesn’t bother me, I am pro-choice, I could give a poop if someone is smoking marijuana…blah, blah. BUT when it comes to my child, I am super conservative. I am concerned about her choices, her clothing, her safety, her health and why...

Which is it?

Do you want mom bloggers to work for free so they are not “lying” or do you want them to get paid for their worth? Cause I can barely keep up with the drama, drama, drama that encompasses the blogosphere every 3 feet and its easier for you to just tell me what the new “rule” is...

Question Time

Since I am always the one talking, I thought I would ask a question of you. Why did you choose the blog name you have? ~Trisha this is filler text to hold the front page for the minimization box. Just ignore this. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I was a breastfeeding failure

I have seen a lot of amazing posts talking about all the awesome experiences breastfeeding. I believe breastfeeding is amazing…if you can and want to do it. When Charlotte was born, I did breastfeed. Maybe it was because I thought I had to do it. Nonetheless, I gave it a shot to see if it was...

I have learned

July 2009 goes down as the month I learned the most about myself in the past few years. Its funny how life goes in like these circles, we ask the universe and in a lot of ways we receive. We just really need to question how we ask. Or what we ask. Or our intent in asking. It makes a difference. When...

Screw Quiznos, Check out Sprite Sex Ad

Well. There are no words. I’m a coke drinker. From a bottle. Not a penis. Although if penis’ came in flavors…Coke would be a good option. I can already hear my DH thinking out how to capitalize on this. ~Trisha P.S. Quiznos secretly celebrating their stealing of and release of unauthorized...

Wow, are PR or Bloggers more Whiny?

(This post was in response to the bloggers running around flipping out and was not the original blog post) Who knew something that started on our FNL about blogger burnout would take the little old blogosphere by viral posting storm today. And I didn’t even try. How disappointing. Listen up whiny...

My political Views

Since its coming up a bit and I feel Im being eaten at for not being ‘fair and balanced’, I thought I would out all my political views for everyone. 1) Political: I consider myself a republican (although voted for Clinton way back when). The older I get, the more conservative with money I...

Are shoes racist?

This weekend at the mall I experienced an interesting conversation, that I was unwillingly a participant in. I was off shopping at Dillard’s (incidentally that was the place I lost my wallet) trying on high heels. I was going back and forth between several tables gathering all the shoes I was semi-interested...

The changing of the tide.

Sure enough as there are hoards of fish in the sea, there are multiplying and endless bloggers in the blogosphere. And just like the sea, the blogosphere is continually changing, being held together by its self imposed rules and regulations . It seems another change is sneaking up upon us. When i first...

P.R. Blackout Challenge

Where are all the black moms?

Alright, thats a bit blunt, but I mean it. I live in a town of 50% black, 50% white (and 100% hick, but that’s another story) but online I only see one or two black women wander into my pages, assume they are in the wrong spot, and seem to disappear again. I get all excited…everyone be quiet,...

Why are people such pussies?

OMG. Did she really use that word. Why, yes, yes I did. Get over it. I know I’m not winning any awards for eloquence around here and we already know Disney isn’t picking me up for family friendly, so lets not get all politically correct now. Having a blog introduces you to all sorts of people....

Can’t we all just get along? No. No we cant.

I have been enjoying the fun little volleyball game in the blogosphere recently. Mainly because this time, I didn’t start it. If you have missed it, it goes something like this: NonReview/Giveaway Blogger #1: You’re fooling me with your fake blogs on products. You don’t put out real...

Are companies taking advantage of Bloggers?

Dear General Mills, I am not sure I would make statements like this anymore: Overall, the program resulted in 5 million total impressions and over 8,000 comments with no media costs. (General Mills does not buy ads on blogs, Witt said.) 1) First off, Mr. Witt (Can I call you Dimwitt? Oh, your used to...

This is me. On a Tirade.

Review Bloggers, Testimonials, and the FTC

Lots of talk on the scene about reviews and bloggers. Are they credible? Have bloggers, for lack of a better term, ’sold out’ for a gift card or a free product? Or are they just business opportunities that women are taking advantage of as a tout of their success online? A bit back we wrote...

Dooce on Oprah…how do you feel?

Baby Bikinis

I am opening up a can of worms, I get that. But darn it all, I ran across this on researching something totally unrelated and it bothers me. Maybe it’s the posing or maybe it’s the marketing or perhaps the internal ‘ick’ factor for me on little girls in triangle tops, but…. OK,...
