Be careful what you post on Facebook. Nathalie Blanchard of Quebec was told that her disability payments for depression would stop after her insurance company saw photos of her on Facebook having fun on the beach. Continue reading »
Yesterday we learned that it’s normal for an ultrasound to look, well, a little weird. The baby’s still cooking, after all, and as one tech once told me: “Ultrasound is kind of like trying to tell what an elephant looks like by feeling it’s tail.”
What’s not normal, though, is looking at your baby’s ultrasound picture and seeing the King of Pop growing in your uterus.
British couple Dawn Kelley and William Hickman were looking at a 20 week scan of their seventh child when they saw something familiar. It wasn’t Grandpa’s nose or Mom’s chin — it was Michael Jackson’s face. Take a look:
According to the A.P., “the fossilized skull of a giant sea monster” was found in the United Kingdom. The skull is 8 feet long, and “the creature would have been about 16 meters (52 feet) long” according to scientists. That means the creature would have been big enough to eat a T. Rex. But could it beat the Cloverfield monster? That’s the real question. I smell a summer movie. (AP/Discovery Channel, TimesOnline) Continue reading »
So you’ve nailed down the kids’ Halloween costumes, what about your own?
Whether you’re dressing up for trick-or-treating with your kids or a more grown up night on the town, ABC Action News reports that the top five Halloween costumes for grown-ups are:
It’s the time of year when pregnant women gaze down desperately at their swollen bellies and ask: what kind of Halloween costume can I possibly wear in this condition?
Actually, the possibilities are pretty endless. Last year around this time, I wrote a post that offered up seven Halloween costume ideas for pregnant chicks (all of which are still valid … well, except for Bristol Palin). Now, in an effort to give women-with-child even more Halloween costume options, here is a brand new list for 2009, complete with 10 Oct. 31st ensembles that work perfectly when you’re knocked up. A couple of these are more effective as one-half of a couples costume, but most work as solo numbers, too. And none of them involve painting a target or a stop sign on your bare belly.
Feel free to add even more of your own suggestions in the comments.
Baby Hitler
Boy this reeks of trying too hard. If you’re looking for a way to tell the world, “I am way too edgy to be a parent” dressing your kid like Hitler will do the trick. Amazing attention to detail on the costume, though. That had to take 10′s of hours to make. Which means this kid’s mom or dad sat for a couple of late nights, stitching on swastikas and thinking, “this is gonna be so CUTE!”
Congrats, Baby Hitler, on winning the Douchebag Olympics, Parenting Division. Perhaps next year mom and dad will dress you as a cancerous tumor or genocide.
Michael Jackson’s kids – Prince, Paris and Blanket – have always been home schooled. No public, private or elite learning establishment for them. But after their dad’s death there was some speculation that their guardian Katherine Jackson would be sending them to the exclusive Buckley School where Tito’s kids went. But it is now being reported that the kids will continue their studies with the same tutors they’ve had before who were hired by Jackson. Continue reading »
