Random Rant

Just some random things that are eating at me:

Target’s new ads have the theme of something-less, e.g. breath-less, time-less, limit-less. Fine. Why must they bastardize the English language to create fabu-less, marve-less? Does that not mean less fab and marv? How will our children ever learn to spell?

Why does blogger not remember me, even though I consistently check the little box when I log in? Is this a perverse experiment to see how many time I'll check the little box?

Why is the Army phasing out the Class A/B uniform (dress greens for all you civilians) and making Soldiers wear Dress Blues as their only dress uniform? Don’t ask me why this one bugs me so much.

There, now I feel better.

I am with you on the uniform change thing. Mark complains about the velcro patches on the new digital version all the time.

Those uniforms are expensive!

I can't comment on the uniforms. I am with you on the blogger dump and messing with the English language.

It is so hard to teach spelling as it is now. I even have kids who think it is ok to put the new 'text message' spelling in their writing. Makes me CRAZY.

The only way I have found to get around being kicked off by blogger is go through bloglines. I leave it up and it keeps me connected. :)

C U L8ter! :)

blogger doesn't remember you because you have your internet settings set to delete your history too soon. Everytime it deletes your history then it loses your stored information- even if you DO hit the "remember me" box.
