Read this comment in contextI looove the 30 Rock episode about product placement. The outtakes from Jack’s video made me laugh out loud. “This pen doesn’t work– is that OK?” “Is it like this [awkward walk] or like this [same awkward walk]?” And the Snapple bottle showing up everywhere was pretty funny too.

Strawberry Shortcake– I had the best doll that blew strawberry kisses when you squeezed her middle. Loved her. And she still smells like stawberries when you squeeze her– that was some kind of far-out 70’s chemical compound they put in there.
Big Mouth Singers– I found my old one awhile ago and it was in rough shape so I threw it out. Later I found one on ebay that sold for $102. Good work.
Shrinky-Dinks
Cabbage Patch Dolls

Liz's comments in the HPV PoV thread:
Posted By Liz on February 23, 2007 @ 7:47 am
Read this comment in contextWould someone actually not vaccinate their child against cervical cancer because they expect abstinence? I can’t even imagine that. Besides the obvious argument that your teenager may very well have sex willingly with the same nothing-can-ever-hurt-me attitude that makes them drive cars like fools, what if your child is raped? Furthermore, the American Cancer Society states regarding cervical cancer that “HPV can be passed from person to person through skin-to-skin contact with any HPV-infected area of the body”. So that eliminates all intimate contact.
I do not, however, feel that the vaccine should be mandatory.

Liz's comments in the Christianity vs. Masculinity thread:
Posted By Liz on January 15, 2007 @ 10:37 pm
Read this comment in contextThanks for the statistics, Chris. I found the ages on the Mosaic generation (1984-2002), Baby Busters (1958-1968) and Baby Boomers (1940s-1960s). But do you know what years comprise “Elders”? Just curious.
Posted By Liz on January 15, 2007 @ 10:05 pm
Read this comment in contextI certainly don’t think that masculinity and Christianity are at odds, despite the statistics regarding male church attendance. In my opinion, women attend church in higher numbers because they are largely more social and community oriented than men.
I found the ideas to make church more appealing to men curious. Regarding the hymns, there are many churches that use traditional hymns without modern praise music, so they would be an option that do not have a “feminine” feel. I am slightly irked by the notion that women find church more appealing because we get to dress up. We’re not 5 year olds twirling in gowns. The fact that I like to look nice at church is a matter of respect; it has absolutely nothing to do with my decision to attend nor my relationship with God.
Back to gender gap in attendance, I would be interested in finding out the average age of regular church attenders. I suspect it skews older, and since women live longer than men, that may cover a bit of the gap.

Read this comment in contextYou may enjoy a story of my own humiliation.
I went to a local Mexican restaurant with about 10 coworkers, and we all placed our drink orders. The waiter came to the table precariously balancing all of our drinks on one small tray. He stood behind me preparing to hand out the large, icy beverages, but before he even got one drink off the tray, it tipped and every single glass landed on my neck and spilled down my back. It made such a scene, the entire restaurant got really quiet as I was gasping from the shocking cold– until some charming fellow behind me yelled “Wet t-shirt contest!” Not in the mood for this, I turned around and gave him a dirty look, about the same time he noticed that I was 8 months pregnant and not so much into his wet t-shirt contest idea.
I was much too wet to sit through the meal, so I had to make a dripping walk of shame to my car and go home to change. I received no apology from the waiter, and they gave my coworkers a $10 gift certificate for me. But on a positive note, turns out that 10 glasses of iced tea and soda come out of a shirt and pants in just one quick wash, good as new.

Read this comment in contextTo the counters, word averagers, and generally eccentric among us, I would like to recommend the book Devil in the Details by Jennifer Traig. It’s the story of a girl who struggled with scrupulosity, a hyper-religious form of OCD. To well-adjusted readers, it seems extreme and sad. To anyone who has ever thrown out the top kleenex in favor of the cleaner tissue beneath it, it is laugh-out-loud hilarious.

I am obsessive compulsive about “knocking wood”
I loathe mouth noises
Hymns make me cry
I love to read, and I likes me trashy novels
I instinctively add any string of numbers I see — like digital clocks, phone numbers, highway signs, cash registers, license plates, etc. It’s really irritating.

Read this comment in contextI love and adore traditional hymns. If I had more time, the first thing I would do is join our church choir– but alas, cannot attend practices. Anywho, here are some of my favs:
He Lives
Amazing Grace
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Blessed Assurance
How Great Thou Art
All the Christmas hymns: Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Away in a Manger, We Three Kings, O Holy Night, Silent Night

Read this comment in contextIn that case, I need someone to help me carry the laundry up and down the stairs. Could the caller kindly put down his chainsaw and give a gal a hand? Ha-ha, I didn’t mean a real hand! You are incorrigible. No, seriously, the mask is engaging but really a bit much, plus it could dangerously hamper your vision whilst climbing the stairs… safety first in this house!
How’s that for confronting my fears? If nothing else, I could bore the villain right to sleep.

Liz wants Hugh Grant as ‘best man’
Liz wants the ocean
Liz wants a revolution
Liz wants a new car a bloke and a baby
Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. – Actually, I would reject either birthday at this point.
Liz wants to get the paternity test done ASAP so she can get on with her life. – Stroke of luck! I already know someone who has easy access to paternity tests. Although things might get touchy if we get bad results….
Liz wants some color that is gonna stand out & be like BAM! – I tell my hairdresser this every time, but she is ignoring meLiz Needs:
Liz needs to live in Hawaii and have her own pineapple field. – I wouldn’t say I “need” to, but Hawaii does sound nice
Liz needs to be taught a few things about fire safety – Stop, drop and roll isn’t enough?
Liz needs to devise a budget and stick to it – OK, that’s entirely true
Liz needs to increase her food intake to at least 2000 calories a day
Liz needs to have a baby with her husband and I know she wont leave him – check and check
Liz's comments in the Anybody Want A Dog? thread:
Posted By Liz on December 8, 2006 @ 10:43 am
Read this comment in contextAmy– I hope you’ve found your dog, but if not, I would suggest calling all of the vets in your area and giving them a description of your dog and a way to reach you. Sometimes people will just call a local vet instead of dealing with the humane society. We had a greyhound that escaped several times, and the greyhound rescue even suggested calling your local police department with a description of the dog and your phone number. When our dog got out, he would run about 1/2 mile and then just wander around, so it is possible he is pretty close. Sometimes they get really interested in the new smells all around, so just calling his name may not be enough. Any sounds that he always comes to? We would go out shaking the treat box since Will always came running for that sound. Last idea is to post signs in your area; someone close may have found him and be hanging on to him to keep him safe until they know where he belongs. Hang in there and good luck!
