Ode to carbon-based wee-wee pads

Who ever invented carbon-wee-wee pads is a genius.
Not that the potty training is over, oh, no, but we're getting more hits with the new pads than ever before!

They dry up within a few minutes & Jack can use one pad for about 24 hours! hot-diggity-damn, folks! So instead of spending $3 a day for these things, we are down to less than $1. See, genius!

I know, I know, why-oh-why am i torturing y'all with this? This is why: Someday you or someone you heart will have a dog that needs to be house-broken & you will recall this random post. And as Jack's bladder basically rules my world these days [sad!] i thought i'd share a bit-o'-sunshine about it.

(The picture is not of the carbon-ones, they are pink)

ah, the information age

In this day and age, one can find out tons of information on virtually anyone. This is both good and scary as it is getting easier and easier to build up knowledge [ammunition?] about the ones we know and even those we don't.

i'm not a malicious person. i'm not vengeful person either, but it occurred to me as of late that it is far too easy to tarnish someone's image. This is by no means meant to be a threat; just merely an observation.

My roundabout point: Why eff with people? It seems to me that this reality would encourage people to play nice in the sandbox. Everyone knows a good reputation is very hard-earned and it doesn't take much to have that reputation sullied.

I mean the fact that on job interviews you are googled, checked out on myspace and other similar sites by your prospective employer is point-in-case. If that is the way it is for all things corporate, think of how easy it is for not so passive audience members to wreck havoc.
