Okay....so maybe that's a little dramatic. But I came across something online today that sort of encapsulates what bothers me about the way "we" (too many for it to be a good thing) just don't think.
From a family blog:
"Also, it was my birthday just over a week ago and my wonderful husband bought me a beautiful right hand ring! So I am adding a picture of it. I love it! "
Um....the whole POINT of the Right Hand Ring is to celebrate your independence -- it was the heart and soul of the campaign that launched the trend (the trend of tapping the market of single girls to encourage them to buy diamonds for themselves rather than waiting for a man to get the job done):
"Your left hand lives for love. Your right hand lives for the moment," and "Your left hand declares your commitment. Your right hand is a declaration of independence."
So......where's the independence of a woman who doesn't buy her own right hand freakin' ring?
It just stops being a right hand ring the moment someone gives it to you. So say your hubby gave you a pretty ring or whatever....but take two seconds to think it through, okay?

Test For Echo
Oh my gawd this is awesome......not a single soul has even stumbled across this blog.
It's like being the only kid on the playground - it's freakin' awesome because then you get all the equipment to yourself and you don't have to wait in line or wait for some other dumb-ass kid to figure out that sliding down the slide backward isn't as much fun as it seems like it might be....but at the same time...it's a little lonely...because without that dumb kid and all the others - there's no one to chase, no one to watch and get new ideas from, no way to make new friends or really raise the adrenaline bar.
**Hellooo?** **Hellooo?**
... ...
**Anybody OUT there?!** **Anybody OUT there?!**
Nope. Just me and my echo.
Oh by the way -- it's really dumb that the profile counter doesn't distinguish between self-hits, refresh page loads, and an actual person coming to visit.
