This Anacin commerical from the mid-1960s used to scare me as a kid. The woman''s intensity when she screams at her kid is really beyond anything you saw on commercials back then. It''s even odd in comparison to today''s commercials; the tone is very off-putting.%0D\ %0D\ I remember the woman looking really old...more like someone''s grandmother than mother...but watching it decades later, I realize the actress was probably only in her early thirties at the time.

What TV commercial do you remember best from your childhood?

Anyone else a "Degrassiac"? I can''t get enough of this show. Teen Nick''s been running marathons on the weekends. I''m a total addict. Oh by the way, I''m 44 years old.

Who'd a thunk it would be this hard?

I'm allergic to smoke, and so is my partner (!) and we're sick for a day after a slight exposure. It's physical, not psychological. New neighbors next door moved in, who apparently like both to spend a lot of time outside and to do their smoking out of doors. It's close quarters between our houses, with their deck close to our property line. We have hollies planted for privacy between them. We haven't met them yet - they moved in last week. My partner and I were out at 9 yesterday morning in our yard. At 9:15 the neighbors were out, smoking. We tried moving to the side yard on the other side of the building, but the smoke followed us. So we went in. We tried later, and out they were again. Same thing this morning. We went out this afternoon. The neighbors came out and started smoking. What would you suggest? Do we wait until we know each other and try to cover the topic, somehow? It doesn't look hopeful - they look like suburbanites who have moved into the city and they appear to drink a lot. Party people. I wish smokers would understand that smoke doesn't just disappear outside where the air is still and people are close to each other. After eight years living next door to the place as a drug hole where teen prostitution went on, and then eight years of sitting next to it empty and derelict, as we landscaped and mowed and did everything to keep it from looking like what it was, it would be nice to have an agreeable resolution. The big problem is that given today's lack of common ground and fractured mores and anger and broken communities, there doesn't seem to be a basis from which to start . . .

Carry on, bitches.

NYTimes: Can you call a nine year-old a psychopath?

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- Airlines are charging for just about everything these days, and as we get close to the start of the summer travel season, get ready for new fees. The latest way airlines are looking to make extra money is by charging extra for aisle or window seats. Most major airlines are starting to tack on a fee of $25 or more each way for the privilege of sitting on the aisle or window. Alternately, some are setting aside the seats for frequent fliers. The change promises to make travel particularly difficult for families who want to sit together. The only choice in some cases may be to pay more for those window or aisle seats. Booking your travel more than two months in advance can help with seat availability. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the lowest average fares are at: Long Beach, Burbank, Ontario, John Wayne and then LAX.

Missing FBI agent armed and suicidal, police believe May 13, 2012 | 7:19 am A missing FBI agent from Burbank, believed to be suicidal and possibly carrying a handgun, has become the subject of a major manhunt this weekend. Stephen Ivens, 35, a Los Angeles-based agent specializing in national security, was last seen Friday at his home in the 1700 block of Scott Road in Burbank. He may have headed into the rugged Verdugo Mountains, officials said. Also missing from the home he shared with his wife and 1-year-old son is his handgun, officials said. Officials would not reveal why they believe Ivens may be suicidal. “He’s been a valuable member of our office,” said FBI Special Agent Steve Gomez. A 40-member search-and-rescue team from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department along with a dozen Burbank police officers were assisting about 100 FBI agents in the search, officials said. It was the largest search in Burbank in 20 years, said Capt. Denis Cremins of the Burbank Police Department. Ivens has been with the FBI for more than three years and before that spent eight years with the Los Angeles Police Department. Ivens, an avid hiker, left his house on foot. Bloodhounds tracked his scent toward the Verdugo Mountains, Gomez said. Officials are also searching other areas of the county. They do not believe Ivens is a danger to anyone but himself, but they warned people not to approach him if they spot him and urged people to call authorities. Ivens is white, 6-feet tall and weighs 160 pounds. He has receding brown hair and wears prescription glasses, according to a police report. Contact Burbank police at (818) 238-3000 or the FBI at (310) 420-6441.

Single Mother Bristol Palin Tells Obama Same-Sex Marriage is Wrong Because Kids Need a Mom and Dad Bristol Palin finally — finally — weighed in on President Obama's same-sex marriage stance and, guess what? She's against it. Didn't see that coming, huh? In a new blog post entitled "Hail to the Chiefs – Malia and Sasha Obama," Bristol takes issue with the influential role Obama's daughters supposedly played in helping him "evolve" his opinion on same-sex marriage. "In this case, it would've been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that's not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage," she writes. "Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids' worldview." Says the unwed single mother of one whose baby daddy is the living embodiment of Goofus from Highlights. Sadly, she goes on: Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would've been nice if the President would've been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee. OK, enough. Go after the president, fine. Object to his worldview, no sweat. Use an antediluvian argument about an institution that has been constantly shaped and reshaped — even within Christianity itself — in order to excuse your blatant discrimination of taxpaying American citizens, that's your thing. But don't you dare speak ill of Glee. That show is great.

05/18/2012 MOST RELIGIOUS: Salt Lake City (74% religious adherents) LEAST RELIGIOUS: Portland, OR (32% religious adherents) A study measuring religious bodies in the United States called the, “2010 U.S. Religious Census: Religious Congregations & Membership Study (RCMS)” was recently released by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies (ASARB). The most comprehensive study of its kind, it provides detailed county by county information on congregations, members, adherents and attendance for 236 different faiths groups. (The survey differentiates between specific denominations within the same tradition.) Of metropolitan areas with population greater than a million, the researchers found Salt Lake City to be the most religious city with close to 74 percent identifying as a religious adherent. The researchers found the greater area of Portland, OR-WA to be the least religious city with about 32 percent identifying as a religious adherent. The researchers define adherents to be those with an affiliation to a congregation including children, members and attendees who are not members, and believe that the adherent measure is the most complete and comparable across religious groups. As the chart below shows, more than 54 percent of adherents were from metropolitan areas with population of a million and above. In general, cities where more than 75 percent identified as a religious adherent were in the deep South and in the Midwest. Cities where less than 35 percent identified as a religious adherent were in the West and in the Northeast.

According to this article, "On the verge of Minor League free agency last year, Anthony Recker made a deal with a buddy back home that, if things didn't work out with baseball, they'd team up for an attempt to land a job with the FBI." Would you suggest the FBI for him or something else? If something else, what would that be? Short video of him swinging at linked article.

I mean one where you cannot have personal calls at all and your cell phone better not ring and absolutely no internet access. I temped once between jobs for a small family owned company that had been in business for years. It was a miserable, boring job. I was stuck in a room with 3 other women with an office immediately behind it with a female manager who was like a benign dictator. She was nice but there was minimal chit chat allowed and absolutely nothing personal. We had no internet access at all when most companies at least allow some for business purposes. I got out after two weeks. I hated it anyway but one of the fat gals in the room with me started shit. She was a backstabbing, bitter bitch who was desperate to be a big fish in a small pond.
