Theory of Progression in Life

Today at my toastmasters club I heard a theory of the progression of life through anagrams...

First your are a YUPpie... young upwardly-mobile professional

Then you get married and you're a DINK... dual income no kids.

Then you have a couple kids and you become a sitcom (sitkom)... single income two kids overwhelming mortgage.

I thought that was pretty funny.

Potty Training Made Simple

Link

"Naked and $75
Parent(s) stay at home with the child for several days and allow the child to walk around the house naked all day long. The potty is put out so it is constantly available to the child. Parents regularly remind the child to use the potty when necessary. Rosemond argues that children won't tolerate urine and feces running down their legs, and will quickly learn to go to the potty to avoid accidents. The $75 is for carpet cleaning."

I've been listening to a course on integration in human life. Part of the course is on child rearing, which covers teaching children to conform their thinking to reality and this was given as a method for potty training that teaches children to recognize reality very early.

I know this is random, but I have an acquaintance whose 4 year old son is not toilet trained yet. It seems like this is an easy problem to fix, but she hasn't managed to do it.

Cowboy Philosophy

Sir:

I want to thank you for putting "Old Ty" and me out there for everybody to see; and my deep gratitude for the thought and research that went into the article.

I say this in spite of your cursory, patronizing attitude concerning the political beliefs I espouse. THE SILENT MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR NATION ARE BEGINNING TO VOTE THE WAY I THINK and to resent the "care from cradle to grave" philosophy which your articulate liberal-left minority are smugly taking for granted as a way to political power in this country.

JOSS WHEDON DIRECTS THE OFFICE

Ok... So we did get a little Joss on the office last night.

Buffy Syndrome

This article referred from Whedonesque is what happened to me.

"I use the Joss Whedon series "Buffy" as an example because it describes how I allowed nothing more than a name to rob me of months and almost years of television viewing pleasure, simply because I had the wrong mindset."

I heard from a number of people that Buffy was a great show. I couldn't get over the name. Finally, after falling in love with Firefly I looked into Buffy. Keep in mind... the show had been canceled. Finished. There was no more Buffy. So I watched the entire series on DVD and it turns out that it is my favorite show on TV (if you count syndication).

So the moral of the story... don't judge a book by its cover and don't judge a series by its name.

PS As noted by others, Joss Whedon isn't going to be doing the new Wonder Woman. Damnit Joss, we need our fix... can't you get that... we need new Whedon.... so get on that will you.
