Help stop teen cough medicine abuse! (what about other age groups' abuse?))

1. Oscars--yep I watched--the whole durn broadcast! Glad for Milk's wins, and Heath's...and in case you were wondering, I like the new format!

2. 3 Doors Down...Gigs took in a concert on Monday night at the new House of Blues in Boston...ehh venue, sound issues until the main act came on, but all in all a great show! Gigs went with buddies Nancy and Mike, and had a great time, as always when you mix Nancy, Mike, live music and a Dirty Shirley.

3. Cough Medicine--I was carded, and asked to sign a document that stated that I would not sell my cough medicine to teens (who may abuse it) twice this week! They keep it behind the counter, probably under the guise of protecting kids from what can harm them if abused. It got me thinking about if this is a law, or store policy. And if libraries were to do that....put "harmful" materials behind the desk and not let a minor check them out. God, now more than ever, I am glad most libraries don't function like this! I can't imagine blocking anyone from the freedom of information. I would have been so mad if as a teen I wasn't allowed to check something out, on the authority of someone who didn't know me! But I do believe that parents need to step up and parent.

4. I need some sleep! I'd go get some Tylenol night meds, but I don't want to get my license carded again! Someone might come after me for abuse!

I wasn't going to watch the Oscars this year...I find it wrong that during these hard times, so much money is being spent on praising actors....good actors, and good movies, but really what did they DO? Entertain us, sure. But this money could be going to much better causes that another pat on the back for Hollywood....still, maybe it is a welcome distraction for some. I dunno...I do want to see who will win Best Actor and Supporting Actor, and this rumored musical number with Hugh Jackman, but that's about it. I think the entire award season has gotten out of hand...and judging by the ratings of recent years, maybe the public feels the same way.

Did you know that it was an Academy librarian that gave the award its name? Yah-Huh..I heard it on Extra so it must be true!

Bwaaahahahaha!

Didja hear?

A-Rod admitted to doing steroids...yeesh...why am I not surprised? But only when he was with the Texas Rangers. oh, phew, well he was just a kid then. I suppose we should let it slide, I mean he was making only a few mil a year at that point. Gimme a break! Toss him outta the game! Pull his awards, cancel his contracts....hey, so does this mean that maybe he didn't have an affair with Madonna? Maybe the real reason his wife divorced him is b/c he couldn't ...ummm...perform anymore. Don't steroids effect your...ummm...performance?

President and First Lady Obama visit a school library

NBC News reported that the President and First Lady took time to visit a elementary school library today, to talk with students and read them some stories. The news reported that they took a break from White House going ons, and this is where they went....Thanks. Keep the positive library press comin'!
