Gotta See This
Debbie Gibson hit #1 with this song on this day in 1988. With "Foolish Beat," she became the youngest artist, at age 17, to write, sing and produce a #1 hit. Watch...
Did You Know...
...that women don't like happy, smiling men? Research discovered that women gave their highest approval ratings to photos of men who were seen as "proud" or "ashamed." A bright, big smile didn't do it for most women. Men, on the other hand, gave a huge nod to photos of women with bright, big smiles, but were least attracted to photos where women looked "proud." So is "pride" masculine and "smiling" feminine? I'm so confused.

Joke of the Day
A man absolutely hated his wife's cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and leaving him at the park.
To his surprise, he saw the cat walking up the driveway just as he was returning home.
The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home.
Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat again!
He kept taking the cat further and further away and the cat would always beat him home. At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there.
Hours later the man called home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?"
"Yes," the wife replied. "Why do you ask?"
Frustrated, the man answered: "Listen, can you just put him on the phone, I'm lost and need directions!

50 Must-Do's Before Moving In Together
The Stir tells it like it is -- "moving in is a big deal." That's why they've come up with a "must-do" list before co-habitating with your honey. Here are the top 3:
3) Know if one of you is a slob and the other is a neat freak.
2) Learn as much as you can about his relationship with his mother. Don't think mama's going away once you two shack up.
1) At least consider "The 2-Year Rule." After two years, the warm fuzzies are gone and you're left with what's real.
Check out the rest of the list (including #6 - "throw out your ugliest undies that you wouldn't want him to find")
Is "The Hangover Part II" Worth It?
"Early reviews say the sequel is almost an exact copy of the original. Variety said the new movie was 'little more than a faded copy of its predecessor' but the Hollywood Reporter said that 'what happens in Bangkok isn't as much fun as when it happened in Vegas, but it's still worth the trip.'"
Couple Decides Not To Reveal Their Baby's Sex...
They feel baby Storm will choose when to tell the world himself -- or is it herself. Mom and dad feel this is a "tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime (a more progressive place?...). The article is precious. The parents are placing NO restrictions on their kids. They're giving them adult freedoms at birth.
The WORLD WILL END!
Why isn't anyone listening to me anymore? Oh, because we've heard it before, perhaps? Harold Camping, the man that said sinners would die a horrible death last Saturday, now says he was "off by five months." We'll now burn on October 21st. Dang, and I wanted to trick-or-treat this year. DANG!
Being a 'Stay At Home Mom' is EASY!
A blogger on the ParentsConnect website has let us in on a little secret -- "not every day as a stay-at-home mom is hard." There are days she kicks back into lazyville. She admits she'll do any or all of the following:
— Ignore the tennis ball-sized dust bunny creeping from under the end table.
— Watch five episodes from season four of "Desperate Housewives."
— Return e-mails, play on Facebook or text friends.
— Read blogs for an hour and a half or, alternatively, play two hours of games on Shockwave.com.
— Pile the bed pillows and comforter on the couch and take a nap.
— Not even consider showering or brushing my teeth.
She says the world has enough martyrs, so just admit you do it, too! Love the comments left by readers. Check it out.
