LONDON — New “landmark” research finds that alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous than some illegal drugs like marijuana or Ecstasy and should be classified as such in legal systems, according to a new British study.
In research published [...]


A Jon Stewart Tribute Post

Friday, April 27th, 2007 | By Rob

I am a HUGE fan of Jon Stewart, the host of The Daily Show. I think he’s filled a void and given a voice to a viewpoint and a political position that was rarely seen in the media before, but sorely needed. He’s made a point to attack the idea that there are only two [...]


For Uncle Jed and Cousin Scott

Friday, April 27th, 2007 | By Amy

Hannah is flossing! She emptied the whole container to do it, but she loves to floss her teeth. This isn’t the first time she has done this, but it is the first time she looked this cute when she did. I thought you two dentists would appreciate this picture the most.
 
 


But That’s Not Fun!

Thursday, April 26th, 2007 | By Amy

Recently it has come to my attention that our older children have little concept of what it means to work. On Saturday, they were asking what fun thing we would do that day, and when I answered that today we were catching up on work around the house- I was met with moans and [...]


Favorite Shopping Spots

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007 | By Amy

Kohl’s: They always have something on sale, and it’s so fun to find a great deal on their clearance racks.
Trader Joes: An upscale feeling grocery store that offers lots of unique foods and many organic choices. I hate grocery shopping, but it’s actually fun to go here- if only for the atmosphere. [...]


I need your help with WhiteBinder.org

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007 | By Rob

I just posted a new article on WhiteBinder.org. For anyone that doesn’t know, this is a site I created some time back to post all the spiritual thoughts, stories, articles and other church-related things I’ve collected since my mission. I haven’t posted much to the site in the last few months mainly because I’ve [...]


My History With Photography

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007 | By Amy

I went to a photography studio lighting class about a week ago. It was the first time I have taken any photography classes since my University days, and I thought I would use the local community class to learn some new things. As many of you already know, I worked as a darkroom [...]


1,200 Quotes, and counting…

Friday, April 20th, 2007 | By Rob

I just updated the Simpson’s random quote generator on the site with a bunch of new quotes. We’re now up to just over 1,200 hand-selected, pre-screened, gut-busting quotes. Go ahead, refresh the page. There are new gems waiting just for you!
Also, because of my extremely generous nature, if anyone else would like to [...]


Thomas Hardy Novels

Thursday, April 19th, 2007 | By Amy

Rob and I just finished watching a series by A&E of the book “Tess of the D’Urbervilles” by Thomas Hardy. I can’t get it out of my head because the story is not typical of the era in which it was written. Hardy was born in 1840 about twenty five years after the [...]


Memories of Strawberry Shortcake

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007 | By Amy

Not long ago, the kids were watching a recent version of a Strawberry Shortcake cartoon. It reminded me of an episode we had on video when I was a kid. I must have watched it a hundred times because I still know the words to all of the songs. And for some reason thinking back [...]
