Single Mom

While life, liberty and equality have been around in the press for a few decades now I always find it amusing to read stories of single moms.

To me they are unmentionable but for some reason they get the headlines.  A single mother of three was selling her underwear to feed the family of five.  Well my point is that there are five people in the family including her husband who is the single husband she has ever had.  Conversely she has been the single wife in keeping with the spirit of do you take this man and not returning him during the annual village garage sale (she originally picked him up at one in someone's driveway).

So the kids are fortunate to have a single mom and single dad rather than being confused by the state of affairs.  In certain states and countries it might be expressly forbidden to mention such news items because there could be a contradiction of terms.

While not a lesbian arrangement there could be a situation where multiple wives are involved and that could lead to statements like - one of the mothers of this family was involved in a fatal car crash (for both car and mother) and the other mothers and wives to a Jogi Donovan have decide to setup a memorial fund for her children.  They really doted that car.

Sometimes there is confusion over which are her children but in order to bring them solace regardless a candle and cow-dung paddy light vigil is being held outside the red barn.  More light will thus be shed on the situation in which the Donovan family finds themselves.

The children meantime have needed much counseling in this moment of grief and have not spoken out to the media about the abhorrent conditions in which they were treated.  Some claimed later to our own Quack Stewonz that one weekend they were only provided a meal of Seaweed and Chiclets with Pumpkin flavor.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
