Let Them Watch TV
I don't usually talk about controversial stuff on my blog mainly because I don't have really strong opinions on many topics. Call me wishy-washy, but I can generally see issues from different sides. I would be horrible on a jury. I'd be the one holding up a verdict with my, "But I can see the defendant's point. Oh wait, the prosecution has a good point too! Then again, the defendant makes sense...."
Anyway, because I just got back from the Baby Einstein headquarters where I was introduced to a couple new products coming out (I'm going to have a giveaway for some awesome Baby Einstein products on my review blog soon, btw) these headlines caught my attention. This is one topic on which I do have a definite opinion.
Basically this study says nothing. It says that TV viewing (an average of an hour a day was spent viewing TV in this study) from children 2 and under does no harm. Still, headlines surrounding the study make it out to sound bad. Well, guess what! We moms don't need any more guilt. We have enough guilt over every other aspect of parenting. We don't need some researcher telling us that if we dare to put our child in front of a Baby Einstein video or an episode of Sesame Street or Blue's Clues, that we're damaging them for life. What's more detrimental to our child's well-being is if we are focusing 100% on them 24 hours a day. Sometimes mom needs a break! It ticks me off when some researcher tells me that I'm neglecting my child if I opt to put a video on for them while I take a shower or cook dinner or make a phone call.
And Baby Einstein videos seem to take an awful lot of bashing when it comes to this subject. Have you ever seen a Baby Einstein video? The soundtrack is classical music. The visuals are pictures of real-world objects; simple, large, slow-moving, brightly colored objects that your baby sees in your house and while out and about in their world. Yeah, that's crazy! That'll sure damage a kid for life, won't it - exposing them to classical music (because we all know how evil that is) is sure to stunt a child's learning. :::rolling eyes::: Puh-lease. When Julie Clark, a SAHM, started the Baby Einstein company 10 years ago, she called her videos, "Digital Board Books". She wanted to bring the arts and humanities to little children in a way that would be enjoyable on their level. She intended for parents to use these videos to relate to and share with their child. At the end of her videos, she even speaks to parents, telling them to talk to their children about what they're seeing on the TV. She encourages parents to interact with their child while watching the video together.
And really, let's face it, although we may watch these videos (and other children's television shows) with our children sometimes, other times, we just need the little break that comes from putting a video on for our kids while we hop in the shower. As long as you're not ignoring your child while they watch TV nonstop all day long; as long as you're reading to your child regularly; as long as your child gets up and outside for exercise regularly, then I say, put the video on! Let them watch! Let them have a break from you! Take a break from them! It does NOT mean you're a bad parent or a neglectful parent if you let your child watch TV. It does NOT mean that you don't love your kids if you let them watch TV. How are your children going to learn to play by themselves and use their imaginations, if you're next to them every minute of the day? How will they learn that the whole world does not revolve around them every minute of the day? Sometimes mom needs to take care of something other than the kiddos.
Heck, I learned half of what I know from Sesame Street! And if it weren't for TV, I wouldn't talk in Seinfeld and Friends and movie quotes! How boring! Moderation, my friends, moderation. And Baby Einstein? Give me a break! That was the first thing I let my kids watch! I love those videos! There is nothing wrong with them! Exposure to classical music can only do good things, so relax, you crazy non-TV watching fanatics!
OK, I'm off my soapbox. Ooooo, ooooo, ooooo!!!! I almost forgot! Check this out! There's an interview with me on CafeMom! Do you guys go to CafeMom? Check it out! It's a website that really has something for everyone! You'll love it! And you can read my interview HERE.

I wholeheartedly agree with you! And you're so right, we don't need the guilt!

Thanks Dawn! I too think that age-appropriate TV in moderation is fine for kids. My 2 year old is learning to count with Moose on Noggin. The PhDs working on these shows have a lot more ideas for capturing the attention of young minds than this overworked and sleep-deprived mommy. We watch together sometimes, and sometimes he watches alone. Thing is, I've noticed that he really is learning things and interacting with the programs, and let's face it, he can only put up with my crazy self for so long before he's going to melt down.
Ooh, my own soapbox...

Dutch headline this morning: watching tv and playing videogames causes astma. My husband believed every word, so now we're back on the tv-discussion...ooooh, I'm getting so tired of these 'news' items. Newspaper on monday: Broccoli cures cancer. Newspaper on tuesday: too much broccoli causes cancer... That's when I gave up reading about health research news! LOL

I think one of the main issues regarding children and TV watching is specifically for children under the age of two, as you mention. Also, I know many parents with very young infants or toddlers who plop them in front of a TV for hours a day and allow them to turn into zombies. There needs to be a balance! Obviously a few minutes of TV aren't going to ruin a child forever, but hours-on-end marathons are not going to help in the brain cell category.

Dawn! Way to go an have an opinion! You're good at it!
Oh, and also, that last link, possibly due to the late night hours you're keeping, doesn't really lead to the place you said it led to.
Would love to see that interview.

I agree with you. My daughter grew up on Teletubbies, Barney and Blues Clues and it hasn't caused any harm. In fact, I think it helped her develop her own inner genius as she is currently enrolled in the GT program at her school.
I love CafeMom! I probably belong to every recipe group they have. They've really expanded our menu. There seems to be some problem with your link, though. It's directing me to the Reuters story about the TV study.

Amen sistah! Thank you for this. I get double guilt whacked since I work full time and have two children. I believe that there is nothing wrong with putting a video on for the kiddos so I can get a shower. Otherwise they would be in the shower with me! Anyway, moderation is the key, as always isn't it?
- March 3, 2009 at 5:36 AM
I'm sure someone has commented on this by now, but the link to the interview is actually a link to the TV watching article.
Ditto to what you said about lwtting the kids watch tv :)

Sesame Street, Playschool and various other shows like Thomas The Tank Engine were a godsend when my kids were little some almost 20 years ago, yes I used to watch the shows with them, but I knew that if I put Thomas or Teddy Ruxpin in the VCR I'd have time to do washing, cook meals, iron, clean up, have a shower, or heaven forbid, READ A BOOK. It's all about moderation, and I totally agree that Mothers of all types don't need any more guilt.

- Esther (UK) said...
I totally agree, Dawn. I had three boys in less than two years and in our house there was two volumes: very high frequency, when they were running, playing and calling at the tops of their voices. Then there was the gentle sound of the TV backed up by silence. I didn't have it on all day, I monitored what they watched very closely, and here's what I managed to get done while they learnt lots of new information from the box: cooking, cleaning, bedroom tidying, laundry, paperwork, changing grotty beds...the list could go on and I'm pretty sure that my kids would have run a higher risk of being damaged in a household where all those jobs weren't taking place!
Now they are older (7 + 5) they don't need to be watched all the time so they watch a lot less TV and play a lot more.
Oh, and I can't get the link to your interview - it takes me to the Routers article instead (sorry if everybody has said that already!)
- March 3, 2009 at 6:29 AM
Not only were the Baby Einstein videos wonderful for my kids when they were little (20 whole minutes to get something done!), but then if they were crying in the car all I had to do was pop in the CD and they were instantly content hearing the music. Loved it.
- March 3, 2009 at 6:43 AM
I agree! Of course, my 1 year old is watching "Little Einsteins" as we speak so that I can get a little caffeine in my system and face the day.
I always say that the researchers who make these recommendations clearly have not spent day after day as a stay-at-home parent. Because, who can keep up the level of attention they seem to demand for 16 hours a day, 7 days a week?
My kids and I would both be crazy!

- Summer said...
i love this. i'm on my third kid (all at home with me everyday) and tried so hard with the first one to not have the tv on at all, and i still feel the guilt. but you're so right... i NEED a shower (for everyone else, if not me) and i NEED to make dinner and if they happen to learn how to count to ten, well, no harm done. :o)
- March 3, 2009 at 7:16 AM
- Ilene Woods said...
If it were not for cartoons I would NEVER get a shower! Can anyone trust a 2 and 4 year old to play nice while they are in the shower? NO! There must be a distraction. And dinner would never be done on time or taste very good. Let others judge. They are usually people without kids (or friends).

Oh man, it is SO REFRESHING to read this. I get so tired of the "you're mentally killing your child." I grew up watching and rewatching and rewatching the Little Mermaid and Peter Pan. As soon as I woke up the movies were put on and I probably watched them until bedtime.
Here? We keep the TV on a kid-friendly show all day. My daughter might spend five minutes watching TV every now and then but typically it just is good background music while she plays. And you know what? If she decides to curl up on the couch or in my lap for an hour and zone out to the Backyardigans, more power to her.

I'm with you on this one for sure! I have never understood the "no tv" mantra anyway. My DS is now 4 and he has learned SO much from V and videos, it is amazing! I know more Spanish now than I ever did thanks to Handy Manny, Dora, and Diego! Now we're learning all kinds of fun things about science from Sid the Science kid. Anything that expands my child's horizons and makes him ask educated questions is fine with me! Glad to hear I'm not the only mommy out there who admits to letting the kiddos watch tv!!

Thank you Dawn! I love Baby Einstein video and introduced my son to them when he was about six months old (he's going to be 5 in a couple of weeks, I think I'm having an anxiety attack!) and he still enjoys them once in a while. I wasn't just carelessly plopping him in front of whatever was on, I carefully chose Baby Einstein because they were soothing, engaging, and educational. As a result, he recognizes great pieces of classical music, knew his planets and shapes by age 2, knows some basic sign language, and so much more. Without them, I never would've gotten that shower or ever had just 5 minutes to myself. Sorry I'm ranting in my comment, but I totally agree!

I love Baby Einstein and so do my kids! Every now and then, even at 4 and 7, they still like to watch the videos and listen to the music. Thank you for taking a stand, Dawn!

My friends and I refer to Baby Einstein videos as crack for babies. Seriously. The second that caterpillar shows up, all attention is on the screen. And its guaranteed to keep the child's attention for about 20 minutes. And that's 20 UNINTERRUPTED minutes of internet surfing or a shower or even just laying on the couch, recovering from being a parent!
Good stuff, this crack!

I love t.v. and my kids love t.v. 24 hours a day, of course not. 6? (maybe if it's snowing out! LOL)Lets face it, everyone needs some down time every day to just sit and be a couch potato. I myself have mastered the art of couch potato-ness and I'm sure my children will do the same! :-)
- March 3, 2009 at 9:08 AM
My boys loved the Baby Einstein videos and learned various words AND sign language before they were two. Yes, you should monitor how much time they watch TV, etc., but having them watch something educational so I can get dinner ready is not a bad thing! The fact that they are learning at a time when I'm busy is a great plus to me. And I have to laugh at FunkyKim's comment above - it always amazed me how mesmerized my babies were the minute the videos started - definitely crack for babies (a good kind :-)

It's the same argument as eggs - one week they are good for you and the next week, they will kill you in no time flat. It's all about moderation people. Don't we have other things we should be studying, like, oh, I don't know, how to feed the homeless or educate our school teachers?

Before I had kids I insisted I would never let my kids watch Barney, but when my first child was about 9 months old I learned quite by accident that she was facinated with that purple dinosaur. One day when I dropped her off at daycare they had a barney video on. Instead of the usual meltdown I normally endured trying to leave her, she walked right over, sat down and completely ignored my departure. After that I found that I could put her in the exersaucer with a barney tape and take a shower. It was a defining moment in my parenting career. One 30 min video = a real shower. Not one of those 2 minute try to get the stink off, but a real shower where you could shave your legs even. Each of my 3 had that one show they loved, and that 30 minutes I'm sure is the reason I'm sitting here now typing this and not locked up in a padded room somewhere.

You really hit the nail on the head. Where is the research the says how detrimental our "child centered" culture is? My mom didn't engage me intellectually all of my waking hours. Moderation IS the key to everything (except chocolate).
- March 3, 2009 at 10:29 AM
My daughter watched TV as a child and because of where the TV was we always had subtitles on. I also read to her every night at bedtime. I think the 1-2 punch acturally helped her learn to read. She was reading at a 5th grade level at the start of 1st grade! She is now in a G&T school and still loves to read and watch TV. If she's reading or watching TV then I know she's not out getting into mischief or worse with her friends and the kids in the neighborhood.

I COMPLETELY agree with you! My baby is only 4 months old, but he's been attracted to the light from the TV from day 1. I don't just leave him in front of the TV (well...for longer than 10 minutes anyway). I'll have to pick up one of those Baby Einstein videos. I figure, whatever keeps him from screaming is good enough for me.

I agree with you Dawn -- and all the other posts (32 at this writing). TV is not bad in moderation. I add my voice to the fray to mention a show I found particularly instructive and fun when my daughter was young: "Between the Lions," on PBS. I don't know if it is still running, but it was a brilliant show that taught the basics of reading in a terrific way -- and we still use some of those methods with our son to remind him of grammar rules. Both of my kids were exceptionally accomplished readers BEFORE Kindergarten, and I believe "Between the Lions" and "Sesame Street" can claim some credit. "Between the Lions" references we still use include: "When two vowels go walkin', the first one does the talkin'" -- which means that in a word like "beach," it is the "e" that takes over the sound of the word. Another one that is actually used by our elementary school is that sneaky silent "e" that makes the other vowels say their name (the long vowel sound.) In the show, the "Silent E" character was dressed as a detective, who interrogated the other vowels, and made them "say their name."
A quick check reveals "Between the Lions" is still on PBS, hooray! Check it out -- it's a terrific program: http://pbskids.org/lions/

Well shit, how am I supposed to ruin them then? I mean here I was TOTALLY trying to get my kids to be morons and in lots of therapy and lack all creativity and now you tell me that won't do it. ARG. I guess I have to go back to letting them eat paste and play with lawn darts.

Thanks, Dawn, for saying what I have been saying for years! All of these silly studies do is make moms (or the caregiver) feel more guilty. God Forbid we get a minute to ourselves! Cracks me up too how the same people that say not to let your young ones watch any tv are the same ones that tell you not to pick up your baby when she/he cries. HUH? What kind of mixed messages are they sending us anyway? First it is "devote every hour to your child" then it is "ignore them when they cry." I say, do what works best for you, and if a Baby Einstein episode or Dora gets you a few minutes to relax and take a breather, or clean the kitchen, or whatver, then go for it! Thanks for writing this!

Thank you for saying all that. I couldn't agree more! I started out as that mom that wasn't going to let my child watch TV by himself until he was 2 - then reality hit and he is now only 21 months old and watches it a lot. Yes, probably too much, but he still loves books, he even reads to himself, he can already count to 10 and knows most of his colors. He's incredibly smart and loves the outdoors. But, he's got an addiction to the Imagination Movers - it could be worse! I'm actually getting stuff done around the house now and my husband and I get a little "alone" time more often. He actually tells me about the episodes sometimes and we do talk about it.
As for Baby Einstein - they're great! At my neice's first birthday party this weekend he impressed everyone by naming everything before the videos did - wow, that's real detrimental (sarcasm).
Anyway, I've gone on and on, but I just couldn't agree with you more!
- March 3, 2009 at 5:38 PM
You can't produce a kids tv programme these days if it isn't "educational". What happened to the good old days of Scooby Doo and The Smurfs?
Bugger off and do a study on how well children develop when one of their parents isn't home for 16 hours a day because they're too busy studying whether tv is good or bad!!

Are you sure you don't have a bit of the ADHD as well?? This is so totally CLASSIC woman with ADHD. (And is also the reason why I failed my writing entrance test for college... because I started a persuasive essay saying to take Job A and ended it saying that the person should take Job B. Apparently that puts you on the fast-track for remedial writing class?? OOPS.)

I think the impetus for these kinds of studies is a very different kind of parenting than you (or your blog readers) provides. There's a big set of parents whose children - of all ages, under 2s included - spend most of their waking lives watching TV. I don't think any legitimate social scientist has an issue with using Baby Einstein so that you can grab a shower, or make dinner, or to deal with a rainy/snowy day.
Unfortunately, the kind of parent who latches on to these studies is exactly the kind of parent who DOESN'T need the message! They already get the 'moderation' idea, they are worried about their kids getting appropriate stimulation and varied experiences. But with the way the media presents these studies, they start feeling attacked for not being perfect.
As someone who does research related to parenting (although totally not related to TV), I'd just like to apologize and say WE DON'T EXPECT YOU TO BE PERFECT! We don't know what perfect is! We just found an idea interesting and wanted to look into it and see what we could find.

sorry to be the lonely disenting voice here. My kids don't care for baby Einstein, the other day I got one from the library, pop it in, my 18 mos old looked at it for about 2 minutes and wander away and never came back to sit. Same with my older child when he was little too. I honestly don't think that baby Einstein is that beneficial in terms of speaking and learning. Both of my kids watched kid shows rarely and didn't have language delay, they know shape, colour when they supposed to. If you need to grab a shower or cook dinner, by all mean, pop something in so you can do it (I do that too), but I don't kid myself about the educational aspect of the shows. And no I don't feel guilty about let them watching the shows either.

When my three year old twins gave up their nap, we started having quiet time in front of the tv. I tell them they don't have to nap, but they need to sit quietly and watch tv so I can take my rest!
- March 3, 2009 at 9:10 PM

We don't watch much tv around here mostly because we don't have time between sleeping and eating and school and playing etc... but when Mister Man saw any tv, his introduction was to Baby Einstein. When he was in the hospital for four days with rotovirus and finally started getting better to the point where he wasn't a total rag doll laying in the bed, having the Baby Einstein DVDs were all that kept him -- and us -- sane.
Can't wait to see the rest of the comments ;)

Here Here! I love seeing how the shows my 3-year-old watches opens her imagination. I'm picky about what she watches, but as long as I'm experiencing it with her (sometimes vicariously as I clean, email, or shower) I think it's great stimulation. She's in a Mr. Rogers phase right now and she just can't get enough of the Make Believe and the How-do-they-do-that videos. Brings back memories. I love it!

Although we manage to not put our little one in front of the TV so we get a few minutes off per day, he quite often wants to see an episode from his "Shaun the Sheep" DVDs. We limit this to one or two episodes per day, which means max 20 minutes.
There is no educational effect but we also use this time to relax a little during the day.

have I ever seen a Baby Einstein video? Good Lord, I have the music order from Baby Neptune memorized for life. my youngest son has a "thing" for Baby Neptune(the water one, for you who maybe don't have it all memorized like me). it is forever now known as "his movie". "his movie" has helped during those crying jags from teething that no amount of Tylenol or frozen washcloths can help. "his movie" can bring a smile to his little face whenever I have just bandaged up a skinned knee or chin. I freaking love Baby Einstein!

You know, I just needed to be reminded of this. Thanks for posting it. I've really tried to prevent my 8 month old son from seeing the TV when my 2-year old is watching Elmo or letter videos, and I think I'm going to chill a little. My 2-year old learned to sign thanks to watching Baby Einstein with her, and now she's two weeks past her second birthday and already knows all of her letters and their sounds thanks to Leapfrog's Letter Factory. Does this make me a bad mommy? I don't think so! Jack may as well have the same advantages that his sister did!

Sometimes a post requires absolutely no additional content to be flat-out, balls-to-the-wall, mind-blowingly awesome.
This is one of those posts.
If this video of the Mad Men cast performing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" hasn't gone viral by the end of the day, the internet has failed us all.
Hit play. Enjoy. Repeat ad infinitum.

THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK.ReplyDelete
This, Lala. He derided most of them sitting there and the vote was THAT close? I'll never understand it.ReplyDelete
Your blog today is pure entertainment & joy. When I got to NaOnka stating, "No one messes with me & my socks", I immediately went to another nutcase's mantra, "No one messes with me & MY MAN!" NaOnka reminds me of the cheating husband at home in bed screwing some tramp. The wife walks in on him & confronts him He says, "What woman?" If jughead had confronted her for stealing his socks, she would have said, "What socks?"ReplyDelete
P.S. Has Ass Licker sued the butcher who did her implants yet? Just wondering.
- AnonymousSeptember 23, 2010 at 12:51 PM
WOW that was the first time I have read one of your Survivor blogs....I will never miss another one - it is a thing of beauty (and I mean that in a bitchy beauty way of course)ReplyDelete
Lala~ I agree with everything you said except for...Dane Cook being a douchebag. I love him. That's for another time. I love reading your blog because you describe EXACTLY how I am feeling when I am watching Survivor. I am SO GLAD Shannon is gone!!!ReplyDelete
- HoodedWarriorSeptember 23, 2010 at 2:09 PM
yeah what's up with AL's implants????ReplyDelete
This episode was awesome, so I knew your recap would be full of amazing win. I was not wrong. There are so many great points in this recap, I cant even pick one out.ReplyDelete
But good on Hop Along Kelly for breaking from her quasi-alliance & voting out Shannon. I think she's the only one from that group who did, which shows that she is in this to stay.
NaOnka reminds me of the girlfirend getting cheated upon in the Jerry Springer movie masterpiece "Ringleader", who will go off on anyone at any moment for nothing. And dont ya'll act like you havent seen it. In fact, there are plenty of characters in that movie who parallel the BB/Survivor/TAR world. Trashy white bitches, bitches in general, the old man in over his head, its got it all. And its short, which is always a plus.
In the mean time, your analysis of Holly is a thing of beauty. Unfortunately, I think she may be even more psycho than even you think. She scares me. Thru my TV. That is some power.
To be honest, I'm a little sad that Shannon's gone already. I completely agree with everything you said...but a douchebag of that caliber is a rare find these days. He could have been very entertaining, in an "I-wish-that-guy-would-get-his-face-ripped-off-by-a-monkey" kind of way.ReplyDelete
This has to be on the list of your top 10 blogs. It was brilliant. Very well done.
- Carole O.September 23, 2010 at 2:37 PM
I was blown away by last nights tribal council. All I kept thinking about was," What is Lala going to say about this?" right on Ms Lala!!! So glad that ass Shannon went home.. unreal..ReplyDelete
BTW, the vote looked a lot closer than it really was. it was 7-3, the 3 that voted to keep asshole Shannon were Jughead, cuz he didnt understand what the plan was, Alina, cuz she's hateful, and Shannon himself.ReplyDelete
All I can say is this 1 episode was better than the entire season of Big Brother!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 23, 2010 at 2:50 PM
Shannon was awful, but I can see the reasoning behind the votes for him to stay: after his outburst he would be a goner anyway, if not this time then next time. So some some voted for whoever would be more difficult to get rid of the next time.ReplyDelete
Those descriptions of Holly and Shannon were great. I had to laugh when you put Dan and shoeless in the same sentence because there was a guy I went to college with that everyone knew of as Shoeless Dan. He refused to wear shoes, even in winter (in Iowa) and if he went to a place where he had to wear shoes, he had this pair that he'd made out of duct tape. Now, it's going to bring back memories and make me smile every time I see Shoeless Dan on Survivor.ReplyDelete
I picture Johnny Fairplay as the Mayor of Douchebaggerville, but clearly Shannon would be a terrific Deputy Mayor.ReplyDelete
So I just spent my first BB season with your blog. I stopped watching the show but kept reading your blog, because your blog was WAY better than BB. I don't expect Survivor to suck as much as BB, but clearly the blogs will still be top notch. Great blog. Thank the gods Shannon the Douchenozzle went home. What a train wreck at tribal.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 23, 2010 at 6:06 PM
Someone needs to wake Shannon up and let him know that there are a lot of gay people in Louisiana. Heck, there are a lot of gay people in Douchebaggerville and some of them are even douches (douchery does not discriminate by sexual preference although gay douches are often closeted and almost always Republican).ReplyDelete
Seriously though God protect any child of Shannon if he or she is gay.
- AnonymousSeptember 23, 2010 at 7:34 PM
Great blog as usual but I Im not so sure getting rid of the resident douchebag...well leader of the resident douchebags...was a good idea. Yes he's an asshole, yes he's a moron and yes Id like to see him meet up with a fabulous gang of gay muscle men in a dark alley, but he's also a strong male that would help the tribe tremendously in challenges. While they are still in the 2 tribe stage they need to stay strong. You can put up with some douchebag behavior till the merge, then get rid of him. The best way to keep from being sent home is to not go to TC to begin with. I do realize Im in the minority in not wanting to stone the homophobe immediately but...its a game for a million bucks, dont get rid of your strong players just because they're a douche! JMHO.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Lala. A new one has been ripped.ReplyDelete
I can't stand bigots. I don't like having to listen to their drivel. I'm glad Shannon is gone. He can go back to Louisiana and share his homophobia and misogyny with his friends. Hopefully we don't live in the same place. (Although given the views of many I live around, I wouldn't be surprised if he does live near me.) I'm all for free speech, but I don't want to have to listen to nonsense. And Shannon was nothing more than pure bigote nonsense.
NaOnka is working my nerves - they need to give that girl her meds. Hopefully she'll go off on someone before they do give her the meds. I can see a NaOnka showdown. An I'm sure it will be epic.
- AnonymousSeptember 23, 2010 at 8:19 PM
So glad you are back Lala! Enjoyed your blog last Survivor season and hoped you would be back again!!ReplyDelete
Hello CoLa baby. Great blog per the usual. God that boy is dumb. He made Jug look like stephen hawkins. Every sentence he spoke was another vote to get him out. It was funny that Jug never even figured out what was going on there, he is special short bus material but loveable. As to Nads the crazy sock stealer, what a nut. Then she blames Jug for asking about his socks. Too funny.ReplyDelete
Now over to my people. The old folks have just as many nuts and chews as the kids. Hollyhocks is out there. Clam shell therapist. And old grumpy, off fishing. Where do they find these people, Rachel Reily et al.
Well like someone said this one show better than the whole season of Big Bro. Can't wait to see next show and read your recap. Highlight of my week. Luv you baby.
I'm glad he's gone too. And don't they have the medallian of power now? Who needs Shannon when they have the POWER?ReplyDelete
Love the blog!
- misty dawnSeptember 24, 2010 at 6:39 AM
I love Jughead. He reminds me of the little Dutch Boy on the side of the paint cans. lolReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 24, 2010 at 10:59 AM
Awesome blog! I am so happy that this season is providing so much material for you to write and us to read ofter a summer of crickets chirping!!!! I laughed out loud SEVERAL times and I'm loving that you call the the "UN alliance." ITs so true! Great episode, great blog!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 24, 2010 at 2:05 PM
Tribal council was awesome.ReplyDelete
Shannon probably had it in the bag before he opened his hating maw and let all the creepiness flutter out.
What an idiot. Though good TV!!!
I agree the finale should be n NY and Shannon should face his sexual fears. He'd probably find he likes it.
I've read your blog for a couple Survivor season, this is my first post.
blushing newby
Oh LaColetta, priceless! The bell jar is exactly where Crazy Pants and her clam belong. Speaking of crazy, I'm sitting here alone reading your bitchin' blog, laughing my ass off and I think the voyeuristic neighbors have called Bellevue. I haven't been so entertained since Lane's 3 hour showers. Well, maybe that was kind of yucky. Anyway, I will reward your efforts to keep us all laughing! Can't wait 'til your next one!ReplyDelete
AWESOME AWESOME BLOG!!!ReplyDelete
Awesome... I am so delighted that you are blogging Survivor! BB12 was a giant YawnFest, but Survivor is proving to be THE entertainment this season... which will give you plenty to talk about....YAY! I look so forward to your blog... HILARIOUS! This was one of your best! Keep it up, Bitch!!!ReplyDelete
Just watched the segment w/iterviews mom again... how creepy is she? Hayden is "the love of her life"? She brags how he always has the how girls? Tells him to stop thinking if the wrong head? Says Kristen is psycho? She is dressed up and trying too hard to look like a 20yr old. Its ross and creepy.ReplyDelete
And while Hayden is making out w/Kristen he talks about his mom watching. There is deinately something creepy going on there. And the lack of upper lip o her too? Inbreeding, definately.
Lol Piper. You commented on the wrong blog!ReplyDelete
I'm surprised NoCanDo (whatever her name is) didn't blame Kelly for the one missing sock. Who else but a one legged woman would only steal one sock ;) But I guess she is out to piss off as many tribe mates as possible, but its a little early in the game to for the 'take me to the finals because no one will vote for me' bit.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
LOL It started with the premiere episode (read last week's blog). His name is Matt, but he goes by Sash. I made a joke that since he couldn't decide what his name was, I was just going to go ahead and call him Norma. He knows about it and he thinks it's hysterical. I call him Norma on and off the blog and I encourage everyone else to do the same. ;)ReplyDelete
Why are you calling Sash "Norma"? I can't remember how you came up with that nickname.ReplyDelete
wow you respond fastReplyDelete
cter19, the answer is in my last comment.ReplyDelete
You are a comedy writing genius! Thanks for another great blog. They just keep getting better and better!ReplyDelete
Don't let the idjits get you down, CoLa.ReplyDelete
You didn't make Shannon utter that stupidity and thus all his ilk have to face their own prejudices and phobias.
You keep on being you - that's why we love ya!
- AnonymousSeptember 27, 2010 at 11:55 AM
Well, for the 2nd time in my life, I'm ashamed to have been raised in Louisiana. (The first was the trainwreck Britney Spears)ReplyDelete
Truthfully, in all the time I spent in Louisiana, I have never meet people who acted like that asshat. I was thrilled they voted him out. Louisiana is a beautiful place with lovely people and Shannon does NOT speak for all of us, hell, he doesn't speak for even a small portion of us. What a douchebag.
On a happier note, I'm loving the Crazy Lady. She's totally in nutjobland. Although, the tribe should be worried. She could hurt someone if she snaps.
My online knitting friends that I've shared your blog with are totally loving you!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your work and funny perspective.
Omg, I love this whole post. *follows blog*ReplyDelete
Agreed & laughed so hard at all you had to say about Shannon, what a dillhole. There are pot stirrers of the entertaining variety & pot stirrers of the if-that-homophobic-piece-of-shit-isn't-voted-off-after-such-a-blatant-display-of-douchebaggery-then-I've-officially-lost-faith-in-mankind variety. Lol guess which category Shannon falls under?
Whitty and delicious!! you'er up there with Hedda Hopper and Kathy Griffin .ReplyDelete
CNN interviewed this brain trust...for a good laugh, here's the link. I hope it's ok to post...ReplyDelete
Dill-hole needs to stop talking!
I finally got a chance to read this blog. Oh, it was just what I needed after a poor day. I laughed and loved it. Thank you.ReplyDelete

GALT – The Sacramento County Coroner's Office has identified the man who fatally shot Galt police Officer Kevin Tonn before taking his own life Tuesday as Humphrey Kenneth Gascon.
GALT – The Sacramento County Coroner's Office has identified the man who fatally shot Galt police Officer Kevin Tonn before taking his own life Tuesday as Humphrey Kenneth Gascon.
A 30-year-old Galt resident, Gascon had been arrested for driving under the influence in Nevada but had no history of violent crime, said Sgt. Jason Ramos, a spokesman for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, which is leading the investigation.
Tonn had approached Gascon to question him about a burglary that had occurred shortly before 11:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of F Street, Ramos said. A struggle ensued, and Gascon pulled out a handgun, Ramos said. Gascon fired one shot, striking Tonn in the head, before turning the weapon on himself, Ramos said.
Authorities have determined that Gascon was not the man who burglarized the home on F Street, but he did match the burglar's description, Ramos said.
Authorities also have definitively concluded that neither Tonn nor a second officer fired their weapons while trying to apprehend Gascon, who died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Ramos said.
Members of the community continued to mourn Tonn's death Wednesday as a makeshift memorial began to emerge near the railroad tracks where the shooting occurred. Some brought flowers. One woman placed a miniature stuffed dog next to the memorial to honor the fallen officer who served with the Galt Police Department's canine unit.
A candlelight vigil will be held in Tonn's memory at 7 p.m. this evening at Galt Community Park, which is located at 1000 Walnut Avenue.

Book Tour and Activities on the Go!
Ocean kayaking, wild dolphins, camp fires, night time stargazing, early morning bushwalking, ancient rainforests and jaw-dropping panoramic views await you on this tour.
This overnight Byron Bay tour kicks off with a three hour afternoon ocean kayak with our partner Go Sea Kayak Byron Bay, that offers some of the best dolphin spotting in Byron Bay – not to mention turtles and migrating whales (during the winter months). From here, we hit the road for a scenic drive through the Byron hinterland to the Mount Warning National Park where we set-up camp for the night. Unwind and relax around the campfire while you enjoy a delicious BBQ dinner and toast marshmallows before spending the night in your tent under the stars.
The next morning, after a delicious continental breakfast, take to the walking track for a two hour (4.5km) self-guided climb up Mount Warning reaching the summit as the sun starts to rise over the easternmost point of Australia.
Soak up the awe-inspiring hinterland and ocean views before hitting the descent, which is equally as rewarding with the sounds of the rainforest, rich native wildlife and ancient palms and tree ferns. Every footstep on Mount Warning is like travelling back through hundreds of millions of years.

Physio on the A-C joint AND the knee – hurrah!March 21, 2011 at 8:53 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 2 Comments
Tags: acromoclavicular joint, flare, knee, pain, physical therapy, physio, physiotherapy, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), shoulder, swelling
Well, I've had my physio – both knee and shoulder. Woohoo! The physio had no problem working on the knee once she had the doctor's note!
As anticipated, the ultrasound made the knee a bit worse to start with but then much better! I had the ultrasound Friday morning and by Friday pm the knee was already greatly improved. Of course I SLIGHTLY over-did it on Saturday, but when the local needlework shop is tragically closing down but magically having a 40% off everything sale, what's a girl to do? So then yes, I paid for it on Sunday. Today the knee is fine again though, having had a rest yesterday.
I also had ultrasound on both acromoclavicular joints (joint between collar bone and … well, not sure which bone really, but see below), even though when I saw the physio on Friday neither were that bad. They continued to be pretty OK really until this morning.
OUCH! Today they've been really, really painful, and definitely reduced mobility in the left one, although not dramatically. No good trying a wax bath there either, so I'm wired up to my TENS machine at the moment. Stupidly didn't think to take it into work today. DOH! I must remember to take it in tomorrow … and ignore the strange looks!

Polly,, i am so glad your knee is better…but i have some questions…
beint from the USA… may i ask what is a "physio" and as well what is the TENS machine…. 🙂
Me i'm good accept quite stiff (where the legs hitch to the hips).. no where near as savy as you with these terms…. i need to get into a regular "tylenol" system… but i fight taking more pills… Doc did say.."take as much tlenol as you want"…. is ok… it's the ibuprophen that's "not so good"…i trying to keep up with the swimming and walk out the stiffness after… amazing how everything moves so well in the water, but not so much on "dry land"….
Now about the needlework shop… i'm with you there… my house is full of yarn, fabric sewing machines and thread… what's your favorite???
Again… glad to hear your knee is "behaving"!! Barbara

Four Years!
It's a winery owned by Kix Brooks from Brooks and Dunn, which is apparently a popular country band. I hate country music, so I don't know anything about them except dude makes some darn good wine. The winery is located in a beautiful rural area marked by rolling green hills and lots of trees.
We had the Riesling, which was hands down the best Riesling I've ever had. I'm usually not a fan of white wines because they're too sweet, but this wasn't nearly as sweet as some other Rieslings I've had. I prefer reds, but they give Paul heartburn.
I packed a light picnic dinner, which we ate on a wrought-iron table on the winery's large deck. We split a loaf of Rosemary Olive Oil bread:
I made the Picnic Caviar from the latest Veg Times (black and pinto beans, corn, bell pepper, oil, and vinegar), but I left out the red onion and cilantro (because Paul is picky) and added tomato (because I can):
It was perfect for dipping my Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos in. Also on my plate are chunks of Teese!
Note on the Doritos: As far as I know, these are vegan. That's what Peta says, and though there was some debate on the PPK boards recently, I e-mailed someone I know at Peta for re-assurance. And she backed up their claim. If you know something un-vegan about these (like hidden natural flavors), please DO NOT tell me. I really like these and would prefer not to know ... besides, I rarely eat them cause they're totally unnatural and super-fatty. They're reserved for special occasions.
For dessert, we munched on strawberries and peaches, but I forgot to take a picture. Of course, you know what strawberries and peaches look like ...

That's so strange you have those Doritos!! They were the only type chip I could eat at a BBQ on Friday and I'd never seen that flavor before...kudos to the Doritos people.

Happy Anniversary! Looks like y'all had a fun picnic. Check into Garden of Eatin' Pico De Gallo chips, they're awesome and not as crappy as doritos, but taste just like 'em. They're even be organic

Aw congrats on 4 years! You two look happy :)
And wow, the food looks great! I'll have to check out those Doritos too.. I just assumed that the cheesy ones had obviously cheese in them..but I never thought about other flavors! :)

- The Veggie Queen said...
Congratulations. Happy to hear that the Doritos are an occasional fling. Stuff like that could end up killing you, but slowly and possilby deliciously (if you like that kind of thing). How was the fake cheese? Do you like it?

happy anniversary!!!!
I made that caviar too... it was delish (def try it with cilantro.. it makes it i swear)
Yea i had to wear the headphones and have the super cool mic hanging from the ceiling.. it was awesome!
- July 8, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Hi. Your site is great. I am glad I stumbled upon it. I too, live in BBQ hell, Texas. Have a great day.
- July 8, 2008 at 4:29 PM
I've pretty much stayed away from Doritos because of the MSG in them but I have to admit I always enjoyed them. Now I want to go out and buy a bag.
Happy Anniversary! Being in the Nashville area myself I'll definitely have to check out that winery.
- July 8, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Yay! Congrats on four years... just let me know when to make that wedding cake *wink*.
... I kid, I kid...
Seriously though, those Doritos are the shizzy. The Brit won't touch them though and I can never eat a whole bag (of anything) by myself before they go stale. So sad.
- July 8, 2008 at 10:18 PM
- Erin said...
Congrats on your four years! Looks like a lovely picnic. Oh, and if you find out anything bad about the doritos don't tell me either, I <3 them.
- July 9, 2008 at 3:31 PM
Love those Doritos! But yeah only once in a while kinda thing fo sho. Do you like the Teese plain? I have some in the fridge, I'm thinking Triscuits + Teese might be awesome...
- July 10, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Oh and congrats!!! You guys are a cute couple, anyone who goes on picnics with Doritos is cool in my book :)

Congratulations on your four year anniversary!
What a great place to spend your anniversary, I love wineries too.
I had no idea that Kix Brooks from Brooks and Dunn had a winery, I'm not into country music either. I guess you can do anything when you have the money. I'd love to open a winery.

Aw, happy anniversary! Sounds like a fantastic way to celebrate. I am the same way about oreo cookies....

who exactly is the car-sharing type?
Members use Zipcar as an alternative to the costs and hassles of owning or renting a car. But is Zipcar for you? See if you can relate to one of these situations.
I want to save money.
I take public transit, but need a car sometimes.
Once in a while, I need a second car.
I need a big car for a big job.
I want to jumpstart my business.
I want wheels when I travel.
I want to be kind to the planet.
savings versus car ownership
lose the car payment. keep the car
Zipcar members save a potential of $600 each month compared to folks who own and operate their own cars in the city. How much money [and stress] would you save if you never had to shell out for a car payment, insurance premium, oil change or gallon of gas again? Find out below.
How much does your car cost each month?
Car Payment
License, reg, taxes
How much do you drive?
Average number of trips per month
Average duration of each trip in hours
The results:
Zipcar can save you AMOUNT per month and AMOUNT per year.
Sound good? Then start driving smarter!
Not adding up?
Consider this: A Zipcar membership makes a great second car for families.
Sound good? Then start driving smarter
where do you want to zip?
compare to rental
You could rent a car (but that would be silly).
Car rental is great if you don't mind standing in long lines. Not to mention, you're usually paying for gas, insurance and parking. But that's not what the Zipcar way of life is all about. With Zipcar, you're free from paying for all three (they're included) and your Zipcard opens the door to any Zipcar in any Zipcar city – whether you're there for business or pleasure.
When considering rental cars over Zipcar, it's helpful to play a little game of "OR":
this idea is bigger than all of us
Imagine a world with one million fewer cars on the road. We do.
Fewer cars. Way Fewer.
Each and every Zipcar takes 13 personally-owned vehicles off the road. Multiply that by the thousands of cars in our fleet and you've got a really big number.
The sharing movement.
10% of the population is expected to adopt car sharing as their primary mode of transportation. Why buy the car if you can get the gas for free?
Driving smarter.
After joining Zipcar, 90% of our members drove 5,500 miles or less per year. That adds up to more than 32 million gallons of crude oil left in the ground—or 219 gallons saved per Zipster.
More green space.
What would the world look like if everybody shared cars instead of owned them? Save paradise and tear down that parking lot.
Want to make a real impact?
Join the club.
*Up to 180 miles included per day; additional miles from $0.45; varies by country; see details. Insurance is included; a damage fee of up to $1,000 may apply if you're involved in an accident with your Zipcar; see details.
Reservation rates, fees and taxes are subject to change and may depend on othehttp://www.zipcar.com/check-rates/bostonr factors such as applicable promotions or special offers. You may review your total estimated reservation cost before you confirm your reservation.

But I didn't. I just don't have the gene that makes you get all nervous when meeting people. I don't find it necessary to freak out about every little detail. I don't agonize for hours that my guests might not like my scratched up old Tupperware plates and cups. I don't worry that my china cabinet isn't sparkling. Well, I mainly don't worry about that one because I don't have a china cabinet. But if I did have a china cabinet, I wouldn't worry about it. Of course, my kids would've probably broken everything in it, so there really wouldn't be anything to worry about anyway....
I just don't stress about little stuff like that. My sister's the one who got the stress-out gene. She got it from my mom. My mom is hosting her bunko group next week. That means that for the past month she's been making lists of stuff that NEEDS to be done. She's cleaned everything despite the fact that it's just her and my dad in their house and they generally don't wedge granola bar wrappers in the couch cushions, spill pineapple juice on the floor, color on the tv, or shove dirty laundry in their closet. Their house is pretty much always spotless. It looks like a model home.
She's also landscaped, bought new dinnerware, tried out 52 new appetizer recipes, had the carpets cleaned, bought all new furniture, and built a 1000 square foot addition. OK, so I may be exaggerating a bit. A little bit.
Anyway, back to my visitors. Despite my stellar planning, I had to run out to the grocery store for some food for lunch. It was either that or feed the kids a can of stewed tomatoes and a some questionable looking celery for lunch. I've gotten spoiled with Joe being home most evenings. I haven't had to take all the kids to the grocery store with me in a long time.
I had one kid crawling under the cart. A couple more were writing, "cheese" and "poop" in the condensation on the deli case. Brooklyn was screaming her head off because she wanted to hold the little paper number I'd taken at the deli counter. Clay was sitting in the basket squishing grapes, Austin was teaching Brooklyn to say fun things like, "Get my gun!", and Savannah was giving me dirty looks because I tortured her by making her go with us.
After the grocery store fun, we spent the afternoon with our guests. The visit went something like this:
GUEST: Hi, nice to meet you.
CLAY: Mom! Look, a butt crack! as he indicated a dent in the pear he was eating
ME: CLAYTON REID! to my guest I'm sorry. It's so nice to meet you too.
CLAY: Look! Really Mom, there's a butt crack!
ME: Clayton, that's enough. to my guest He's charming, no?
CLAY: Butt crack! Butt crack! This pear has a butt crack!
ME: apologetically to my guest I dropped him on his head when he was little.
AUSTIN: Mom, come see my garden. I have 22 tomatoes growing now.
ME: That's awesome. I'll look at it later.
GUEST: So, besides your book, have you written anything else?
BROOKLYN: I want chips!
LEXI: Can I read this book to you, Mom?
SAVANNAH: Mom! Jackson's having pop!
JACKSON: Can I have a friend over?
BROOKLYN: I want chips!
LEXI: Can we go swimming?
JACKSON: Where's my baseball game tonight?
AUSTIN: Should I pick the zucchini today?
LEXI: Can I go across the street now?
ME: to guest Ummm, I'm sorry. What was the question again?
This went on for 2 hours.
I'm pretty sure we scared them right back home.
OK, now I need to talk about something serious. I know, I know, I really try hard not be serious. I don't want to ruin my reputation as a goofy dork. However, I wanted to bring something to your attention. I've been super fortunate that I've never been affected by post partum depression. Oh sure, I did the usual crying because I forgot to put fabric softener in the laundry or tearing up over a battery commercial on tv, and other stupid stuff like for a couple weeks postpartum, but I never experienced full blown depression. There are a lot women who don't fare so well when their hormones go bonkers after giving birth, however. Reese Butler founded 1-800-SUICIDE in 1998 after losing his wife to suicide. This program helps 50,000 callers every month. 50,000 a month! Women suffering from postpartum depression, teenagers unable to cope, adults, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents. Right now, the Kristin Brooks Hope Center/1-800-SUICIDE is privately funded. Information about callers is kept confidential. Trained psychiatrict rescue teams are sent to help; not the police. And they're trying to keep it that way. They need to raise another 55k by August. Yes, that's a huge amount of money, but every dollar adds up. Maybe some of you have been affected by depression. Maybe some of you have even lost loved ones to suicide. This is a program that can help. Check it out HERE.
And finally, because I'm always in search of ways
Then after the geography embarrassment, the kids laughed at me as I smashed my little guy into rocks until he became unconcious. And I won't even tell you how long it took me to hop across the rocks to get to the center of the earth! In fact, after I killed my guy 4000 times, I gave up entirely. I think I'll just skip the game and let my kids play so they can taunt me with their vast geography knowledge. I'll just go to the movie instead. After all, Brendan Fraser is in it. Yum-o.

This is the brightest flashlight available because it is the only one in the world that produces 3,350 lumens from a high-intensity discharge (HID) Xenon lamp which allows it to illuminate objects up to a full mile away. Found in stadium lights and aircraft landing lights, HID technology involves passing an electric current through a chamber of ionized gas, resulting in a lamp that produces 10X more light than a regular incandescent lamp. It also produces 1/3 less heat than a halogen flashlight, resulting in a 2,000-hour lamp lifetime. The fully-articulating, deep parabolic reflector produces a narrow, focused beam. The rechargeable lead-acid battery provides up to 1 3/4 hours of operation from a 10-hour charge; plugs into AC to recharge. The flashlight is encased in a high-impact ABS thermoplastic housing that protects the bulb chamber from shock. 15" L x 5" W x 8 3/4" H. (10 lbs.)
