iPad is the best friend I've ever got just Hold it in your hand and you are hooked by its size, feather weight and sheer quality. Apple was late with the iPad mini but in my view they really have hit the spot.

You obviously aren't a regular reader of my blog...much of it is tongue in cheek. Sorry if I offended. Thanks for commenting though, I love comments! Best of luck with your pregnancy, I wish you the best.

I get some of your points...but for you to say, and I quote " My point is, bedrest is hard, but not in the ways people expect. People assume the woman is in pain and that it must be difficult to stand by, helpless, as she struggles. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Bedrest is not about physical pain. Bedrest is about emotional pain." I have to say you are misinformed...you yourself are assuming every woman/every pregnancy is the same and it's not.

I am on bedrest due to multiple conditions that cause excrutiating pain (not fun at all). Especially when you don't have people that can come and help you. I can't even sit up, roll over and or use the restroom without breaking into tears. So no sir, I am sorry to burst your bubble...but you are Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. When you say bedrest is not about physical pain.

Further more...I still have to take care of the house and kids alone all day. So I don't have the luxury of being a spoiled princess like your wife having mommy and hubby at my beckon call.

Before you ASSume things, maybe you should get facts.

My only problem with it is that I grew up with people who fed their families by hunting. If not for that freezer full,of venison, the family goes hungry. Seems a little cruel to rob a family of that. That said, the bigger problem is that we have thousands of families in this country who need to hunt to eat. Problems and more problems, man. Hi, by the way.

You are looking at this all wrong. Your Apple products only last you a couple of years then you run off to spend more $ on upgraded version. Jewelry lasts generations (gotta admit there's something cool about having great grandma's ring- well you might not but girls do) Now who's getting their money's worth? -signed the girl that only buys jewelry on sale at Target but maybe someday will get something really shiny and pretty

This time (vs 4 years back) it seemed like the "liberal/democrat" votaries were a little bit scared/desperate before the results were out that the incumbent might lose. But I might be wrong, because I had just landed in the US 4 years back and I could understand the nuances of US politics a lot less than I can today. The electoral collage system (vs direct representation) itself takes some time to get used to, for someone who has not seen it before.

Re: Fred Wilson on the Election

Sid — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 09:31:43 -0000

This is the 2nd US election I have seen. I was watching a documentary on prohibition in the 1920s in America and the documentary seemed to suggest that the Anti-saloon league and pro-prohibition movement had its root in small town America while the anti-prohibit (or the wets) were more city based, recent immigrants, who ultimately managed to reverse the constitutional amendment. Would it be fair to characterize the republican side as representing the small town america (or the equivalent of the "dry" side) with the democrats representing the city, more urban coasts?

Re: People From Connecticut

How do the Connecticut people differ from the ones from New Jersey? It seems like a lot of people with families live in Connecticut or New Jersey and commute to work in NYC.

I learn a lot from these posts!

Good question. All the serious buyers around here go through agents.

I became consumed by the same lust and spent months trying to rationalize the iPad3 over the 13" Air, going so far as to create the following spreadsheet, but like you I finally decided to hold off until October-November of this year to see what Apple may pop for the holidays. Still undecided, still lusting: https://docs.google.com/spread...

the index cards had stickers on them and cool stamps. the wristband is sort of glossy and definitely way better than a water park wristband. i am so cool.

Re: I Got A New iPhone 5 Today

Index cards and wristbands? I thought you were getting an iPhone, not a RAZR. I expect more from Apple.

Seriously, hire some help, like a nanny who will come during the day so Greta can sleep after night duty and you are relieved from it altogether. You can't work like that! Cheaper than getting fired or a crap bonus.

Lulu Lemon sells Men's sweats? Or are you just squeezing yourself into Greta's? And if so, stop. You're gonna stretch them.
