Opposing view: A dangerous solution--By Tom Price
Our commitment to market principles has created our nation's storied success. Yet some in Washington are disturbingly willing to abandon liberty and principle, and inject government control into private markets.
Perhaps nowhere is this desertion of principle more appalling than in the proposed limits and regulations on compensation for private citizens. Like most plans from this administration and Congress, this "solution" only compounds the problem.
In our mature corporate market place, new rules to empower shareholders regarding executive pay are superfluous. Those investing in companies already possess the ability to weigh in on the salaries of executives. In addition to their vote for board members, most powerfully, shareholders retain the power to register their disapproval by moving their investment to a competitor.
Some suggest that firms bailed out by Washington have an obligation to limit pay. Perhaps if our goal is to exact retribution on employees of bailout firms, this may be so. Yet if our goal is to provide the most urgent economic growth possible, reining in pay from Washington dangerously confirms that America has traded in a market economy for an economy in which politicians wield unparalleled power.
Many compensation packages in the private sector might, in fact, be "excessive." But many are not. And who should decide? Politicians or people? Like all markets, the mechanism for determining compensation is self-correcting. The danger lies in replacing markets with politicians. Are we not but one step away from Washington regulating all private sector pay?
As with the ongoing demagoguery against capitalism, efforts to limit private sector pay have more to do with populist fervor than economic recovery. If Washington finds the compensation packages of bailout firms so atrocious, the solution is to return the bailout funds to their rightful owners: taxpayers.
This new found zeal for governmental intervention into every aspect of our lives and commerce is very dangerous. The debate is a stark reminder of the slippery slope of governmental intrusion into the private sector. Without principle, we are left with ever-changing rules and uncertainty that prolongs our economic despair.
Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., is a member of the House Financial Services Committee and chairman of the Republican Study Committee, the caucus of House conservatives.

Jay-Z - History
(Jay-Z - History)Jay-Z - History with Lyrics
LYRICS : [Chorus: Cee-lo]
Now that all the smoke is gone
And the battle's finally won
(Gimme a lighter)
Victory (Lighters up) is finally ours
(Lighters up)
History, so long, so long
So long, so long
[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
In search of victory, she keeps eluding me
If only we could be together momentarily
We can make love and make history
Why won't you visit me? until she visit me
I'll be stuck with her sister, her name is defeat
She gives me agony, so much agony
She brings me so much pain, so much misery
Like missing your last shot and falling to your knees
As the crowd screams for the other team
I practice so hard for this moment, victory don't leave
I know what this means, I'm stuck in this routine
Whole new different day, same old thing
All I got is dreams, nobody else can see
Nobody else believes, nobody else but me
Where are you victory? I need you desperately
Not just for the moment, to make history
[Chorus: Cee-lo]
Now that all the smoke is gone
And the battle's finally won
Victory is finally ours
History (yeah), so long, so long
So long, so long
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
So now I'm flirting with death, hustling like a G
While victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedly
As a teenage boy before acne, before I got proactiv I couldn't face she
I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the street
That's where I met success, we'd live together shortly
Now success is like lust, she's good to the touch
She's good for the moment but she's never enough
Everybody's had her, she's nothing like V
But success is all I got unfortunately
But I'm burning down the block hoppin' in and out of V
But something tells me that there's much more to see
Before I get killed because I can't get robbed
So before me success and death ménage
I gotta get lost, I gotta find V
We gotta be together to make history
[Chorus: Cee-lo]
Now that all the smoke is gone
(Lighters. Up.)
And the battle's finally won
(Lighter. Up.)
Victory is finally ours
(Lighters. Up.)
History, so long, so long
So long, so long
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Now victory is mine, it tastes so sweet
She's my trophy wife, you're coming with me
We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly
We'll name him history, he'll repeat after me
He's my legacy, son of my hard work
Future of my past, he'll explain who I be
Rank me amongst the greats, either 1, 2, or 3
If I ain't number one then I failed you victory
Ain't in it for the fame that dies within weeks
Ain't in it for the money, can't take it when you leave
I wanna be remembered long after you grieve
Long after I'm gone, long after I breathe
I leave all I am in the hands of history
That's my last will and testimony
This is much more than a song, it's a baby shower
I've been waiting for this hour, history you ours
[Chorus: Cee-lo (2x)]
Now that all the smoke is gone
And the battle's finally won
Victory is finally ours
History, so long, so long
So long, so long
Man in the Mirror--By Michael Jackson
I'm gonna make a change,
for once im my life
It's gonna feel real good,
gonna make a diference
Gonna make it right...
As I, turn up the collar on
my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets,
with not enought to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard,a broken bottle top
And a one man soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways - ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that..
(Take a look at yourself and then make that..)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Michael Jackson - Man in the mirror
A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cook
It's been a long time coming but a change is surely going to come in America and the World! I am the Future of America and the World and that is the message that each of us must carry with us each and every day that we wake up on Earth! I am the Future! You are the Future! We are the Future of America and the World! That is way every election is important--primaries, special elections and general! So vote every year and hold our politicians accountable. Hold our political officials accountable by writing them, calling them and making sure they attend meetings that we the people have. "The Time for Change is not Now but Right Now!"
"EmPOWERment By Any Means Necessary" should be our anthem and should be our creed as we make the positive differences in America and the world that so many people beg for and hungry for year after year! A Change is Gonna Come, A Change is Gonna Come, that's what we must say as we say "God grants us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, Courge to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference" each morning before we go about the task of making a positive change in America and the world a reality.
Born In The U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen
"When will people realize that we are Americans first and foremost, not Democrats or Liberals, not Republicans or Conservatives, not Independents or moderates. We are Americans. Stop putting a political party above America and stop putting any politican above America. America succeeds because of us the people holding our government responsible no matter the political party because the main two political parties are to blame for the condition America is in."—Hodari P.T. Brown
America with its flaws and all is a country I am proud to have been born in. America is not perfect but my love for it is perfect. That's why all Americans must realize that we are all Americans. In fact we are Americans first and foremost. We are not Democrats or Republicans. We are Americans.
We are not Muslims, Christians or Jews. We are Americans. Too many times we recognize our differences with others rather than appreciating our similarities which are, we are Americans. We are Americans first and foremost, no matter if we were born here or moved here legally. We are all Americans, here in this country to make not only our lives better but the lives of other Americans better so future Americans can enjoy the rights and freedoms that make us all Americans.
We are all Americans. We are one party united under God. We are Americans and this is the only political party that matters. We are Americans and this is our country so let's make sure that we make America better than how we found it so future Americans can live prosperous and joyous lives. We are Americans and must not ever forget that.
America will prosper as long we make sure we are doing our part to make it prosper and that means we can't put any political party or politician above America. Long live America forever and long live America's service to the world. Together, America and the world will prosper for future generations to enjoy America and the world we live in.

If I Was President--Wyclef Jean
If I was President that is the people's anthem. We all have ideas of what we can do as President and through this website, we will fulfill our deam as a people!
Somethings Gotta Give--Big Boi ft Mary J Blige
Somethings Gotta Give people and it begins today for all us to make sure that something is us. We the people are sick and tired of suffering. Where is our piece of the Dream that so many people dead for so that we all could see today. This is our time people to change America and the world so that the Next Generation has a better future than the past we inherited.
This is our call to service. This isn't about one political candidate or one political figure. This is about us as people coming together to finally leave up to our potential and achieving the great feats that those before us have achieved. This is our moment to lead our nation and our world to greater heights.
Somethings gotta give people and it starts with us the people making it happen. We have to improve our education system in America. We have to rid the world of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. We have to go to the streets and lift a hand to another in order to decrease poverty in this world. We have to take a stand today and make sure that the future of America and the world is brighter than it has ever been.
Somethings Gotta Give and that is why we must "Remember Each One, Reach One and Teach One so America's future and the World's future continues to prosper."
John Legend - "If You're Out There"
If you're out there than you need to get started in helping to change America and the world. The world and America won't change until you get involved in making the changes you want to see in this world. If you're out there, than you must know that tomorrow started now and today started yesterday so you are behind in helping to the change. If you are tired of hatred, racism, poverty, war, and violence than the time to change it is now. If you want universal health care, world peace, democracy for every nation, equal rights, and happiness for all than you must get involved now to help the save world.
You must believe in the change that you want to see and you must act on making that change a reality. If you're out there than say it aloud and show the rest of America and the world that you're out here to make a real positive change in the communities we stay in. If you're out there than get involved now. I'm calling every women and men to join me as we take back our country right here, right now. If you're out there than the future started yersterday and we are already late so we have lots of work to do but I know we can do it together as one.
Yes We Can accomplish anything that we set out to do! We don't need charismatic or inspirational leaders to believe in ourselves and to take responsiblity for our own faith, we just need each other. Yes We Can build a new America and a new world if each of us would take action now to make the changes that we want to see in the world. Yes We Can control government by holding our political officials accountable for their actions by calling them out when they don't pass legislation that supports the common good of all man and by voting in every election to ensure that we have people representing the people locally, state wide, nationally and in the world.
Yes We Can be great! Yes We Can be what we want to be! Yes We Can be glorious in not only America but the world! Yes We can put action behind our worlds and change the world starting right here, right now! Yes We Can as Republicans, Democrats and Independents become one as we freely think about our fellow men and women and make decisions that will be in the best interest of all people and not one single group.
Yes We Can be the change that we want to see in the world! Yes We Can show the world that the youth are ready to lead! Yes We Can put our egos, our social economic statuses, our religions, our educational statuses and our skin color to the side for the better good of the world! Yes We Can be Greater than we have ever been and help others be Greater than they have ever be!
YES WE CAN and YES WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS IN ALL THAT WE DO! YES WE CAN, no matter what others may say, we will be glorious! YES WE WILL and YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!
YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN is what will be sung from every mountaintop, every riverbank, every household, every school yard, every factory, every sporting event, every college campus and even every place you can imagine in the world is where YES WE CAN, will be said and heard!

A War For Your Soul
A War For Your Soul-regular version from Erisai Films on Vimeo.
The moment has come for us as a nation of people to finally wake up and realize that our destiny and fate in society has rests on our shoulders. We cannot allow the forces of evil and darkness to drain us out. We have to continue to overcome all odds in order to make the future of our nation better and the future of future generations of Americans better. We have to continue to pray to our Lord and we have to continue to uplift each other in prayer as well as take action against those things that are trying to destroy us. We have to stand up once and for all and be the future that we want to be. Now is our time and we shall do together by any means necessary.
This video was created to inspire young African-Americans not to fall prey to some of the problems they face in society. The use of the voice "Master of Darkness" represents evil, which is where the blame of all problems should be placed, and not on any one group of people. This video should not to be used to divide people (Black & White), there are images of heroes that are white in this video, and there are images of Black & White coming together with the words of Dr. King in the background. Some of the images from the past can be unsettling, but they are used to show all Americans how far we have come, and how far we still have to go. This film is being strategically placed in school systems, churches and youth orgs around the country, in hope of helping a lost generation of kids that we as Americans have forgotten. As fellow Americans we must continue to love each other, and take that love and spread it to the rest of the world. **THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR SALE & I AM NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS FOR THE FILM, I ONLY WANT THE MESSAGE TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY HIDDEN POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL AGENDA.
Sitting On the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding
"The time for sitting is over! The time for action is now! The time for hope without action is hopeless! The time for change without a positive attitude is a change that we can't believe in! We need change that is positive of helping all people! Our time for action is now, our time for hope is now, our time for change is now and our time to believe that we can do whatever we set our minds to is not now but right now!"
The Star-Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key
O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming;
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream;
'Tis the star-spangled banner; O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land,
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just.
And this be our motto— "In God is our trust; "
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
Black President
Our Time is not now but Right Now! Our Time has finally come to change the world not now but Right Now! If you don't believe that we can change the world than watch as we do it by changing your mind into believing in us and what we can do! This is OUR TIME RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!
We got to FIGHT THE POWER! We can no longer sit on the sidelines and watch injustices take place. We can no longer sit by and allow our right to vote to become unexercised. We must FIGHT THE POWER for our past, present and future! We can no longer allow our rights to be oppressed and our voice to become drained by the powers at be. We must FIGHT THE POWER and show that we have a lot to say that needs to be heard by the mainstream media. We must FIGHT THE POWER and live up to our potential as dynamic, unbelievable and phenomenal people.
We must not believe the hype but we must become the hype. We are not Harriett Tubman, Marcus Garvey, MLK, Malcolm X, Booker T. Washington, Carter G. Woodson, W.E.B. DuBois, the Black Panther Party, SNCC, or any other activists but we are the fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunties, and relatives of those who came before us to pave the way for us to FIGHT THE POWER! We are not next Generation of leaders who will not be honored and praised until they die but that's the fight we accept. We are not fighting the power for glory or fame but we are fighting the power for just causes that most men and women will not understand until years or decades later.
We are fighting for our sisters and brothers in Darfur, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, China and Mexico. We are speaking for those who are poor and have no food or water. We are fighting for those who are sick and dying. We are fighting for universal healthcare across the world and human rights for all people. We are fighting for rich and poor! We must FIGHT THE POWER no matter how hard and tough the road may be. We must FIGHT THE POWER for a better today and an even greater tomorrow!
"People Get Ready" our time is coming! We have come too far to turn back now. Our train is coming and it is coming in waves. "People Get Ready", we don't need a ticket but we need faith and the Lord will help guide us as we take back America and the world. "People Get Ready" our moment is now and we are ready to see the change we want in America and the world. All we got to do is have faith, hope and prosperity. "People Get Ready" to face your fears. "People Get Ready" to face your demons and the challenges of yesterday because today and tomorrow we will conquer & be victorious. "People Get Ready" a change is coming and our actions will make sure that change is a real positive change that lasts forever.
"People Get Ready" because we have had enough of just talking but now is our time to show action. "People Get Ready" to take back America and the world. "People Get Ready" to take back our communities and to make our streets safer and schools better. "People Get Ready" to make all our dreams come true. "People Get Ready" to see a better present for everyone and a better future for future generations. "People Get Ready" to live up to your potential and to help others live up to their own potential. "People Get Ready" to move past hatred, bigotry, racism and sexism. "People Get Ready" to fulfill the dreams of those who came before us and those who will come after us.
"People Get Ready" as we make our actions speak louder than our words. "People Get Ready" to make words mean something again as we put action to back up our rhetoric. "People Get Ready" as we embark on a new journey that will re-write America's history as well as the world's history. "People Get Ready" as we make the lives of others better and the lives of future generations better. "People Get Ready" because all we need is faith, hope and action to make this world a better place. "People Get Ready" to make a difference. "People Get Ready" to fulfill the American dream. "People Get Ready" to live out the American Dream as our founding fathers wanted us to live it. "People Get Ready" because our time is now, our moment is now and our moment in time to change America & the world is not now but right now. "People Get Ready" because a change is coming!
(Let me tell you now)
People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the lord
People get ready, for a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all man kind just to save his own (believe me now)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place against the kingdoms throne
[Alicia & Lyfe]
So people get ready there's a train coming
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming,
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the lord

Once again, I had no idea what to get my mom. When her birthday rolls around in a month, I won't know what to get her then, either. When Christmas rolls around, well, you get the picture.
It's Mother's Day again.
Once again, I had no idea what to get my mom. When her birthday rolls around in a month, I won't know what to get her then, either. When Christmas rolls around, well, you get the picture.
I guess I am a horrible son. That isn't her fault. But it is her fault I never have any idea what to get her.
She has lived her life not needing or wanting anything. She takes care of everyone else.
Trying to keep my two boys' schedules straight and not go crazy wears me out. Mom had three children with 11 years between my sister and me and my brother tucked right in the middle of that age gap. She was stretched pretty thin with one in high school and one in kindergarten. My sister was in state and national beauty pageants and I was playing tee ball while my brother was playing 12 and under baseball.
She always got us all where we needed to be when we needed to be there. Usually, at least one of our friends had to be picked up on the way.
I know she agrees with Erma Bombeck who said, "Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother."
Before the days of Oxy Clean and Shout stain removers, mom had a bucket full of baseball or football pants making sure all of the grass, dirt and blood stains came out before the next game. Getting my sister ready for her competitions was less dirty but no less time consuming.
Mom had to be at work all day, get everyone fed and make sure we all made it where we had to be. Sometimes, that meant cooking dinner in shifts. It meant staying up late and getting up early to clean.
It usually meant getting out of bed before the sun rose and not stopping until she went back to bed long after the sun set.
None of it was to make herself happy and have a good time. It was all to take care of her family.
But mom never complained. I don't guess she had time to.
I have never seen my mom throw a ball. But she has seen more balls thrown than most mothers. She knew she was going to be on the sideline for every sport, every season in at least two different leagues. Somehow, she made all those crazy schedules work.
And it was a good thing she was on those sidelines because that meant her purse was there too. That purse had everything you every needed. It was like a magician's hat.
No matter how much stuff she pulled out of it, it was always full.
She always had exactly what you needed in there, whether it was bandaids, snacks, a sewing kit, you name it.
It was funny to me when my son, Blake, learned about Grandma Rosie's magic purse. He had a kid's meal toy that he loved. One day, my parents were riding in the car with us on the way to my brother's house and Blake realized his toy was ripped.
In the back seat of the car, mom pulled out a sewing kit, stitched up the toy and saved the day.
I never remember my mother ever even giving me direction on what to do or not to do. She never seemed to care what we did.
Mom never pushed us in any direction except up. She may not have cared what we did, but she always made sure that we did everything we did as well as we could.
All she ever needed was more hours in the day. She never wanted anything other than a happy husband and successful, happy kids.
That's why I never know what to get her for Mother's Day.
It's not like I could ever repay all she did for me. But I wish I did a better job of making payments.

Now try to say Pop Popcorn Pop 3 times in a row very fast! Not very difficult, is it? You know what else is not difficult? Eating 3 of these Pop Popcorn Pops in a row very fast!
This was another Probocado Challenge from Blogolosas. This time the challenge was to create something using leftovers as a base, or as they put it: Recycling cooking. And just for fun we also had to present it on a stick.
So I had leftover popcorn. What kind of a person has leftover popcorn, you ask! It's a shame I now! But here's what happened, I had some friends over a few days ago and I made a big bowl of popcorn. And this is were I went wrong, I also offered them a big platter of homemade cookies. I guess the cookies were more popular and the popcorn were left almost untouched. So the next day I've made a powder out of the popcorn and made these popcorn truffles with it. And now I can't wait to have leftover popcorn again! They were delicious! If you're a sweet & salty lover, you'll like these for sure.POP POPCORN POP
- 1 cup popcorn (no butter)
- 170 gr (6oz) white chocolate
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 tsp butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Cocoa powder
- 1 taza de palomitas (sin mantequilla)
- 170 gr de chocolate blanco
- 1/4 de taza natas
- 1 cucharilla de mantequilla
- 1/4 cucharilla de sal
- Cacao en polvo
Hacer un polvo con las palomitas. Derretir el chocolate en banho-maria o en el microondas. Calentar la nata hasta que casi empieze a herbir y añadir al chocolate. Mezclar la mantequilla y la sal y remover hasta que se derrieta la mantequilla. Juntar el polvo de palomitas y llevar a la nevera un par de horas. Hacer bolitas con la mezcla y pasarlas por cacao en polvo. Poner en un palito y decorar con una palomita pegada con una gota de chocolate derretido.
Don't you feel like popping some popcorn and then pop some pop popcorn pops into your mouth?

Sunday Sound Out
Nah, I'm an equal opportunity answerer. I try to answer the stupid ones too.
one more time on the address for the postcards, please! - denise
Actually, I have a new address. It's farther away, but it's a real street address. It's...
Dawn Meehan
836 S. Arlington Heights Rd.
Suite 230
Elk Grove Village, IL 60007
I've been looking at your map. You're not making any inroads into North Dakota, or Montana. Nevada is not a hot bed of love for your blog either. What are your plans for making some headway into those territories? - Rick
Do people actually live in those states?
Anyway, SSO question, is there anything else you "don't do?" Like, phobias or things you physically CANNOT get near? - Jenny
puke, styrofoam, balloons, pointy toed shoes, and math
So what are you going to do with all that loot (tax refund)?!?
I dunno. New couch, perhaps?
I have a question for you.. maybe for next Sunday? What about germs? Are you a freak about germs, or have you just given up over the years? - TheHMC
Let's see...
First kid - you boil and sterilize everything before using it. Kid drops something on the floor and you dive for it, snatching it up so you can quickly boil it again.
Second kid - you wash stuff with soap and hot water before using it. Kid drops something on the floor and you pick it up and wash it off.
Third kid - you rinse stuff off with water and some soap if it's available before using it. Kid drops something on the floor and you wipe it on your shirt to brush off the germs.
Sixth kid - you tear the package open in the car and give the toy/pacifier/office supplies/measuring cups to your child immediately to stop their crabbing. Kid drops it on the floor and you tell one of the older kids to pick it up, brush off the hairball and green slime that has attached itself to the item, and give it back to the baby.
What do you think?
I have a unrelated question for next Sunday. Do you ever buy your kids clothes from any thrift stores. It can be time consuming finding nice clean name brand ones but so worth it. - Kristine in Michigan
I was just talking to my friend Sue about this and we decided that we should really go check out the resale shops more often. If you're patient and persistant you can get great deals. I do buy stuff on sale and I LOVE hand-me-downs.
Oh, Dawn. So sorry to hear the kids are still sick. Definitely no fun for anyone. - m8price
Yeah, it isn't "fun" when they're sick, but still, in a way it's nice. In a "relaxing" sort of way....
Hey Dawn, Can you spare a square? - Sue
I don't have a square to spare. I can't spare a square.
Hi Dawn, I was wondering if people from all the places that your children are named after have sent cards for Autin's project? - anonymous
I have ones from Austin, Savannah, Clayton & Brooklyn, but I don't think I got any from Jackson, MS or Lexington, KY.
Thirdly (and finally), what grades do yo teach at Sunday School? - K
It's funny. When I volunteered to teach, I asked the Christian Ed. Director, "I'll teach again this year, but can I have an age group that my kids aren't in?"
She replied, "I don't think there is such a thing."
"Oh yeah. I guess I do have them in pretty much all age groups, don't I?"
Anyway, I teach 2nd & 3rd grade this year.
I have noticed in the past couple days though, whatever you added recently causes the windows to freeze up, scrolling freezes up, it's really hard on the computer. Scripts, java, or something? - La
Huh? Scripts? Speaking of - I have to memorize mine and soon! Java? I could go for a cup of coffee right about now...
Me again - I found my name on the map. And as I said on my postcard, there's something I'd like to share... We've been living in Dakar, Senegal (West Africa) for over a year, and I got involved in charity work. One particular programme really caught my attention and I posted about it on my blog. One of my readers was so touched about the story that she made a web page.
If your kids whine about their school... please show them these pictures! - Pat in Dakar
I know this is going to sound kinda strange....but I would really like to know where you purchased the t.p. holder in the picture. I really like it and really like that it's not the "spring-loaded dead rod". If, by chance, you remember where you got it, I would love to know. - Kristen
I got it at Target, but it doesn't work. They still don't replace the tp with it.
Sunday question: How often do you do grocery shopping and do you buy in bulk from Sam's or Costco?
I do a big shopping every 2 weeks and fill in with small stuff at least once a week. I never shop at Sam's or Costco. I used to shop at Aldi because groceries are really cheap there. No name brands, small store, no extra frills. I cut my grocery bill in half when I started shopping there. Now that we're doing the diet with no additives or preservatives, however, I have to shop at other places because Aldi just doesn't carry much of anything without additives. I shop at Meijer, Jewel, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Peapod.
Also where on earth do you store all the food an toliet paper?
OK, don't hate me, but my pantry is insanely organized just because I used to sell Tupperware and I acquired enough containers to open my own store.
Hi Dawn, I wonder if anyone else does this...Squezze the roll so it won't roll around as fast? So the kids won't use as much paper. I remember my mother teaching me that trick. Kristine in Michigan.
You NEVER squeeze the roll!
its a bit of a mystery isnt it? They can change their underwear everyday but seem to have trouble changine ONE roll of toilet paper? - roseys madhouse
They change their underwear every day?!?!?!?! Lucky!
SSO potential question: Any advice for a mommy of a 19mo about to become a mommy of two in nine days (hopefully sooner)? - becky
Don't believe them when they say that drinking mineral oil will put you in labor. It won't. And it's not a pretty sight. Trust me on this.
Thanks, Dawn! I'm feeling much better about the two black Russians and handful of snack mix I had for dinner! Or maybe I'm feeling better just because I had two black Russians for dinner...
Sandy in Tucson
(P.S., Just so everyone knows, I don't have two black Russians for dinner every night. Once in a while a salad and some steamed asparagus do manage to creep into my diet...)
I don't always have 2 black Russians for dinner either. Sometimes I have 3.
Here's a question for your Sunday Sound Out - What ad program do you use? Do you get to choose the ads that go on your site or do the powers that be choose it for you? Deb in OPKS
BlogHer Ads. They choose, but I can refuse to run any of them on my blog if I don't like them. Honestly, I've never had the need to refuse any ads as they always choose nice, tasteful ones, in my opinion.
Hi Dawn, This is a question for Sunday SO. How many box's of cheese crackers..I mean..cereal do you go through in a week? Also how many gallons of milk? I can only imagine! - Kristine in Michigan.
We go through about a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread a day and maybe 2 boxes of cereal a week.
SSO question perhaps? How do you fix something for dinner that all 6 kids will eat? I have trouble enough with 4 kids. One doesn't like peas, the other doesn't like corn....blah, blah, blah. Drives me batty it does! Queen Elaine
I just give them all chocolate. It's the one thing they agree on.
OK, I make one thing for dinner and they can eat it or be hungry. The end. Actually, if it's a new recipe or something I know that they don't really like, I give them the option of making themselves a sandwich, but I don't cook a bunch of different things. No way.
You have stopped mentioning weight watchers... are you still trying to follow the plan? - MaBunny
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I suck. But I'm sure I'll start again on Monday. It's tradition after all.
First, where do you find "Sweet Coconut Chai Tea"? It sounds wonderful! - kimikki
It's just Celestial Seasonings. Mmmmm
Just wanted to ask what you wanted me to bring back for you while I'm in Cancun? Jenn loves Derek
Sunshine! 80 degree weather! Tequila?
Dawn, I'm glad the surgeries went well! I'm sorry to put this here, but I can't find a place to put it on your other site. Did you guys post winners for the wriskey and rock the vote contests (on Mamas Like)? I can't find them, or maybe it's just mommy brain:) anonymous
Yep, winners were chosen and announced on Mamaslike.
Eek you have to put height, weight and eye colour on your license?? - nutralady2001
Yeah, they're more fun that way.
Dawn, what is a class 'D'. Laura
the grade I got in math
Wow - what a rubbish experience. (I'm guessing being there for four and a half hours was a SLIGHT exaggeration?) Here in Britain the driving license used to be a bit of paper you had from age 17 to 80. Now it's a photo card and has to be renewed more often, but it's all done by post rather than creepy DMV office! Heather
Who? ME? Exaggerate? Never!
And your license is just paper? For real? What happens when it goes through the wash? I'm really curious because I wash my license, library card, debit card, and grocery store card on a regular basis. Apparently I haven't learned to empty out my pockets yet.
What are you doing to celebrate your birthday? Don't forget Daylight Savings is this weekend too. Hoffman Family
Let's see...I went over to my parents' house today (Sunday) for dinner and I'm going out tomorrow night with my sister. I'll update tomorrow on that because I only got 5hours of sleep last night thanks to daylight savings time and it's now 2:30 am Sunday night and I'm not even halfway finished with this post. I'M TIRED!
thank you very much for being a organ donor. Heaven know we need them here. - Brent
I can't see any reason to NOT be an organ donor. What do I need with a liver when I'm dead? It should go to someone who can use it.
That is a GREAT photo. And hasn't anyone explained to you that when it says "weight" it means "GOAL weight"? They just did not have room for the word goal in that spot. - Brenda
Well darn! NOW you tell me!
You are so pretty!! How do you keep from getting any wrinkles??? - anonymous
I iron my face daily. HA! Actually, it's just all the fat. If I lost weight, the wrinkles would show.
would you hate to know that arizona licenses don't expire for like 30 years? - Spider Lady
Somehow that scares me more than going to the DMV to renew every 4 years! Note to self: Stay off the streets in AZ.
By the way, what happened to your other earring?? - Donna
I figured, dork that I am, that I just forgot to put it on, but the next day, Savannah found it outside the front door of my house. I guess it fell out.
I almost always have sunglasses on my head. My mother is constantly griping for me to take them off when we have family gatherings because, god forbid, anyone should get a picture of me with sunglasses on my head!! *gasp* - TheHMC
My friend Gin, who is a hairdresser, says that she's going to invent a headband that works at well as sunglasses to hold your hair back. Nothing beats 'em!
Ahhh the Illinois DMV, what a joke! My best and quickest experiences with them have been in Morris, IL. You probably could have driven there and back in less than 4 1/2 hours. IMO, Morris is the closet to Mayberry you'll find near the Chicago area. - megryansmom
Hmmmm, are there any Sonics near there?
How many more years before you have to take a kid to get their license> Its tons of fun. - plainprecious
Well, Austin will be 16 in 2 1/2 years, but he's grounded until the end of time, so I guess I have until Savannah turns 16 (about 4 more years).
What do you REALLY want for your birthday...I mean, besides world peace? (Might as well have it WRITTEN here in black and white so there's NO "I didn't know what you wanted" EXCUSE from anyone!) - Nancy Binky
I wanted a birthday margarita, a birthday cookie, or a birthday tirimisu. I got all three!
Oh my gosh. I couldn't figure out what the "GRN eyes" was. Am I stupid or what? anonymous
Hey! Are you the girl on the commercial for Beauty and the Geek who says, "It's not that I'm stupid. I just don't know stuff."?

I can't believe any mother of 4 or 6 wouldn't already know that there is no way you can find a dinner to please everyone (aside from candy, of course)! To dream...the impossible dream....
There is always at least one kid crying at our dinner table. I hate dinner.

Happy Birthday Dawn!
Did you know that nothing has calories on your birthday?
- March 10, 2008 at 6:53 AM
Happy Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!! I just happened to notice, on your driver's license, that today was your birthday! Too bad it is the monday after time change, huh? If your family is like mine this morning was NOT a happy one for anyone....
Hope you have a great day anyway!Kim
- March 10, 2008 at 7:32 AM
Is there any way to connect with the person who lives in Dakar, Senegal? My daughter lived there for two years and I visited there three times. Would love to "meet" her. I'd be willing to send you my e-mail address to forward to her. Chris in PA
- March 10, 2008 at 7:51 AM
Happy Birthday Dawn! Mine is on Thursday.
I have to tell you that our pantries look the same. I have never sold it though, but my tupperware guy(you heard me, its a man) is trying to convince me to sell it. He said that I wouldn't even have to buy the start-up kit because I already have everything. I love tupperware!
- March 10, 2008 at 7:54 AM
Happy Birthday!!!!
Do something crazy...take a nap?
I hope you have a great day!
- March 10, 2008 at 8:07 AM
Someone mentioned resale stores for kids clothes...don't forget ebay and other great internet sites. There's one (could someone help me on this?) that is a trade-only site for name brad kids clothes. I can't remember the name, though. At any rate, I say take advantage of this time in life when you can safely order online, before they have to try on 500 pairs of pants to find one that fits. I've never bought clothes off ebay that didn't fit my daughter. (On the other hand, I've bought several pairs of jeans for myself, none of which have fit. Hmm. Maybe it's not the jeans.)
- March 10, 2008 at 8:20 AM
Happy Birthday Dawn!!!!! Hope you get spoiled rotten! Have a fab day

I have read your page since last Aug or Sept and absolutely love it. I have never successfully posted a comment because I type them and then for some unknown reason, I am unable to make them post. I am trying anonymous to see if it works. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog and your humor. Also, I haven't lived in Chicago since 1987 and I still remember the EMPIRE Carpet commmercials....that was too funny!

Do NOT waste money on a new couch until all your kids are completely potty-trained, stop bedwetting, and learn to recognize when they're going to puke so they can get to the bathroom. Unless you buy a plastic one.
- March 10, 2008 at 9:00 AM
Happy Birthday Dawn!!! Hope your day rocks! :)
- March 10, 2008 at 9:29 AM
Hi Dawn,
I sent you a card from Jackson. I am Jackson, CA though not MS.

Oh, and, Holy Pantry Batman!

Dawn, I am not an organ donor because I am not eligible to be. My dad was in the army and we spent 7 years in Europe. What I was told was that if we spent more than 30 days in Europe during the 80s, we weren't eligible donors because of the potential of mad cow disease. Kinda makes me mad, actually. When my dad passed, we would have donated his body but it was refused. My mom and I had decided that we would donate as a way to keep his spirit alive and help others. Having it refused was like a slap in the face.

I just read the entry about your license, and was going to comment on what a great picture when I noticed your birthdate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love your blog. Makes a great start to my morning. Have a wonderful day.
- March 10, 2008 at 10:38 AM
- Robin said...
First of all - Happy birthday!!!
Since I ran across your blog about a month or so ago, I read it daily. Your children are adorable. The good Lord did not bless me with children so I tend to live vicariously through others that have them. You and Kate (Jon & Kate make eight on TLC) are too blessed for words in my opinion. In addition, I have a theory about wonderful blessings like Mimi's darling, Julian. Once in heaven, childless women like me get to care for these awesome little creatures while waiting for their mothers.
It is sad that no one from Mississippi has sent you what you need for this map project. Therefore, I'm gonna go for it. What is it that you need? I'm actually from Pearl a suburb of Jackson, MS but I promise to mail whatever is needed from the downtown Jackson post office. I hope that will suffice.
Thanks for the entertainment!

I must be a super-advanced parent. I jumped from "first-kid" level to "sixth-kid" level (germ-consciousness) in only two kids!
Also, as a former Chicagoan, I too have the Empire jingle permanently occupying some corner of my brain -I thought I had left it behind until a couple of years ago I started hearing the jingle on the east coast too!

You forgot the "pick up the pacifier, lick it off, and give it back to the screaming child." Did I just say that out loud???
Oh, and Happy Birthday! You look great! I say the same thing all the time about how being fat keeps me looking young.

I have never understood why one would take cereal or crackers or whatever out of the original container to put it in Tupperware? The only thing I do that with is the instant rice box because I spill it every time I try to pour through that stupid cardboard flap!
Driver's License:
I didn't realize you were being sarcastic about the 4 1/2 hours at the DMV because 5-6 hours is the honest-to-goodness "norm" in Denver. Ours are good for 10 years though, and you can renew by mail if you don't want a new picture.
Just FYI. :)

I hope you have a wonderful day!
And btw, that is one of the BEST driver's license photos I have ever seen. You are very photogenic.

Happy birthday. May I wish you some mellow wine and lots of chocolate!
- March 10, 2008 at 3:18 PM
oooh!! It's your birthday!! ^_^
Have an absolutely wonderful fabulous terrific birthday!! Hope its one to remember!
I have two SSO questions today.
1. I'm sorry if this makes me sound like an idiot, but I can't quite seem to figure out all the names of your kids. Could you devise a list of name, age, identifying quirk/nickname, and picture, please?
2. How long have you been doing your blog, when did you start it, and when is the first year anniversary (unless you have been doing it for more than a year, then when is the next anniversary?)
Again, have a happy birthday! [1]
(That's a candle, in case you were wondering what I'm doing with my sad picture skilz, lol.

Happy Birthday, Dawn!
I tried to post a comment on your DMV post, but got an error message followed by a "waiting for comment approval" message... Weird...
I'm glad you already got everything you wanted for your birthday! That never happens to me... Maybe I should become a world-famous blogger mom? Nah. I could never compete with you!!
- March 10, 2008 at 3:43 PM
I know I'm not the first one to say it by far, but Happy Birthday, Dawn! Six cuties to give you birthday hugs and kisses must be fabulous!
Oh, and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who does the sunglasses thing...my Goddaughter was doing it one day (she was all of 3 at the time) and her mom, my friend, asked her why, and she said, "Just like Auntie Laura!" I wasn't aware I did it that much, but I guess it was my defining characteristic at the time. Now I don't even try to fight it!
- March 10, 2008 at 4:26 PM
That's a sneaky way to announce your birthday!!
Have a great day.
My dad always made a point of taking his birthday off from work. Too bad Moms can't do that

THis is a dad and one of the sweetest things I have ever read (every day)...there is a little blogging thing going on with it right now ...... follow this link to see:
if you read :For Tricia you will see what is going on. I know you are major busy, but thought of you immediately when I saw all the comments....
Anyway, here is a long note froms someone you don't know, with something for you to do that you don't have time to do, but thought I'd add it to you list anyway :).

I currently live in Champaign Illinois, but up until 2 years ago I lived about an hour drive from Lexington, Ky. (When you're that far out in the country its "close enough for government work", as the saying goes). So if I send a letter does it "count"? I don't want Lex to be left out.

OH YEAH!!! Definitely did the "lick the pacifier" routine, starting with my first kid, by probably 6 months of age. I think I may have boiled stuff twice before that grew old.
And I'll third that about fat filling out wrinkles! Almost afraid to lose the extra weight!

Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday (getting what you wanted.) YEAH!
At first when i read your answer to how much milk, I thought it said "1 gallon a week" and I was going to seriously HATE you. LOL But, now I see it's 1 gallon a day and I don't feel so bad. I really have considered actually buying a cow...if only I had the land. UGH!

I, too, noticed today is your birthday. I hope it was wonderful! I do enjoy reading about your family and all the funny things that happen. I have two boys, 13 & 10, and they are the best. Funny, easy-going and good, good boys. Just thought I'd post a quick salutation for the day. Have a great week, too.

I have to thank Brenda for letting me know that weight means goal weight. Now I won't feel guilty about splitting the difference!
Happy Birthday, you're still a baby!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dawn! Here's hoping that even sleepless, it was a wonderful event that didn't require you making your own cake!
I have to admit that I drooled when I saw your pantry. It's SO beautiful! Yet another thing to aspire to....
I feel like a bad mom because I only did the boiling thing for the first few months of my son's life, then I skipped straight to child 6 attitude. My poor daugheter started out that way, but shhh don't tell her!
Happy Birthday!!

I always get these a day late.... I noticed one day that you "said" something about if it is emailed to us then it takes longer.....so how else would I get it.
Also - Happy Birthday.... my "baby" turned 4 on March 1. I quit at 3 kids.
I love your blog - I read it everyday and laugh my rear off....and by third kid I had achieved 6th kid status. I have made the oldest one the official snack/juice person...is that bad?!?!?!

Dawn, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Dawn, Happy Birthday to you!
I sure felt all smug when you were describing how sick your family was, and about all the puke, THEN my grandson decided to get sick, all night long, then the runs got him, he felt better and guess what, he gave it to his Nana! Not so bad as I didn't hurl, but couldn't be too far from a toilet(if you get my meaning). Thought I was getting better then got a horrendous headache and the trouts all over again, by this time my granddaughter AND her mother started hurling. If that wasn't bad enough my husband came home after being gone a week, sicker then a dog, and my middle son who is living back at home started hurling at 2:30am this morning. Happy Days are here again........

""I almost always have sunglasses on my head. My mother is constantly griping for me to take them off when we have family gatherings because, god forbid, anyone should get a picture of me with sunglasses on my head!! *gasp* - TheHMC
My friend Gin, who is a hairdresser, says that she's going to invent a headband that works at well as sunglasses to hold your hair back. Nothing beats 'em!
When Gin invents them, sell them on your site! I agree that Nothing beats them!!! I've been looking forever.

I read about your grocery shopping. Have you ever heard of The Grocery Game? I found out about it from Thrifty Mommy. I can't believe I ever shopped "the old way" now. I save on average 50% from my grocery bill. It's simply amazing -- last week my $153 grocery bill went all the way down to $79!!! It's basically combining coupon shopping with "rock bottom sales" -- I highly recommend it.

HOLY cow, I second the Morris IL thing. I used to live in Dwight and the DMV in Morris rocked versus the DMV's here in FL (where I grew up and now live again). While they still hate their job (obviously) at least they run you in and out quicker LOL!
Gotta go do the fruit salad dance from Noggin...

My picky 4-year-old came up with a brilliant religious reason to skip dinner. We fast (skip meals for a day and pray for a purpose) once a month in our church, and the kids can try skipping one meal - usually breakfast when they are eight or so, if they want. After listening to his older siblings discuss the virtues of skipping breakfast or lunch earlier in the day, my little guy proudly announced that he was "fasting from dinner!" when it was time to eat. He hates dinner, too - you know, the 'real food' is just much grosser than cereal, sandwiches, and fruit.

Since I notice you like Sonic: I didn't tell you on my postcard to Austin that we have the Sonic World Headquarters here in Downtown Oklahoma City. They used to have a taller building, and we knew a guy in college that was a peach of a guy, who really didn't know much.
"You guys gotta come and see, there is a HUGE SONIC down there!" No restaurant in the building, mind you. Sonic started in Oklahoma.
I went there once to turn in an application to work at the offices, and when you step off the elevator, there was a huge light fixture that looked like one of the mints they put in your sack. I wonder if that moved to the new building?

Arizona licenses are actually good until you turn 65, so depending on when your's is issued it could be valid for longer than 30 years. It is a scary place to drive, but more because people come from all over, especially in the winter. We've been keeping track this week since the kids are on spring break and have already seen license plates from 37 states and 2 Canadian provinces. Apparently laws differ around the country with regards to things like right of way at a 4 way stop, so nobody seems to know what anyone else is going to do. I keep saying that driving here is like bumper cars at the carnival.
And Empire isn't just a Chicago thing, I grew up in California and now live in Arizona and when I read that post, I immediately knew you were taking about Empire.

We don't renew licenses in the UK - well not unless you get it revoked for some reason.
They used to just be paper but now you have a plastic photocard and a paper counter-part (you can prettymuch file it away "somewhere safe" most of the time.
I'm so thrilled to hear that you don't cook multiple meals, I always figured that was a bad idea. When I grew up you ate what was put on your plate, made a sandwich or went hungry - simple.

Sams Club carries the top brands of disposable pants in a wide range of sizes and styles. You will have no problem finding your favorite Huggies or Pampers for your child.
If you choose disposable diapers, which most people do, you will need to know what size of diaper to buy for your baby. Some diapers come in sizes newborn through 6, while others are sold as small, medium, large and extra large. The diaper box should recommend a size related to your baby's age and weight. You can ask a fellow parent to loan you a diaper to try out on your baby if you are unsure of his or her size.
When it comes to the style of diaper you want, there are many choices. You can buy diapers with tape or Velcro fasteners. Some diapers are extra absorbent and others have extra padding on the rear or extra stretch in the elastic. There are diapers that convert into pants and diapers made for wearing overnight. There are even diapers for swimming. Figure out what kind of diaper will best suit your baby's activities. These will be the most appropriate diapers for you to buy.
It is not recommended to start toilet training until both you and your child are ready. Parents are ready when you are able to devote the time and energy necessary to encourage your child on a consistent basis for at least 3 months. Children are ready when they can signal that the diaper is wet or soiled, or say they would like to use the potty. This usually occurs when a child is 18 to 24 months of age. However, it is not uncommon for a child to still be in diapers at 2 and a half to 3 years of age.
The main difference in pull-ups and potty training pants is that potty training pants can be washed and reused. They are basically a thicker version of underwear, and they also allow your child to feel the wetness more than regular pull-ups. This may help your child potty train faster since they do not like the wet feeling. Also, since you will be washing and reusing them, you can decrease the out of pocket cost. Diapers are still advised for naps, nighttime, and running around. Potty training pants can help your child feel more like their older siblings since they are very similar to underwear; whereas pull-ups could still feel like a diaper.

In making NH laws, not everything is a hot-button issueBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 28. 2013 10:29PM
CONCORD - If some state legislators muster enough support, house pets will receive equal treatment under domestic violence laws, certain dogs will have their own Veterans Day, and people will be able to officially vote for nobody on a ballot and legally cheat on their spouse.
These are among the proposals being pitched by lawmakers for the 2014 session. Each year, members of New Hampshire's Legislature, which with 424 members is one of the world's largest legislative bodies, introduce Legislative Service Requests, or LSRs. These are precursors to formal bills and are submitted to the state Legislative Services Office, which is asked to draft a bill from the requests.
Not all of the proposals involve obvious hot-button issues such as abortion, gambling or health care.
Rep. Katherine Rogers, D-Concord, said one of her LSRs, which would establish a Canine Veterans Day, is designed to honor dogs and their handlers who served in the military and police services. The date set aside would be March 13. Rogers said her proposal would not be intended to compete with Veterans Day or Memorial Day.
"There is a long history of dogs in the military, in the police forces ... saving a lot of lives," she said.
She acknowledged she is a dog lover.
"Oh, of course. But my dog is far from a military dog. He's a pug," she said.
If Rep. Charles Weed, D-Keene, gets his way, state voters will be allowed to declare they don't like any of the candidates in an election by casting a vote for "None of the Above."
Weed said he hopes the specter of being embarrassed by losing to "None of the Above" might make some legislators "deal with real issues."
"It's all about responsiveness," he said. "Let's make people accountable."
If "None of the Above" won a plurality, Weed's proposal would call for a new election to be held, he said. The same candidates could run again if they chose, but Weed said that if he ever lost an election to nobody, he might consider not putting his name on the ballot again.
"I believe I'd be pretty well humiliated," he said.
The LSR to include domestic animals in the domestic violence protection statute was submitted by Rep. Leigh Webb, D-Franklin.
The proposal calls for animals to be included in statutes that apply to such things as protective court orders that would require an accused abuser to stay away from the animal.
Other requests that might not be considered headline makers include:
--- A proposal to repeal sugar packet requirements, by Rep. George Lambert, R-Litchfield. The law in question, RSA 143:6-a, requires establishments to serve sugar in individually wrapped packets or in a covered container that pours sugar through a hole no larger than three-eighths inch in diameter.
That law took effect in 1971.
It was a time, Lambert says, when politicians were passing a slew of laws, some of them downright "absurd," to use his description. How did Lambert come across this one, amid 12,000 pages of legislation? He was browsing the RSAs for a talk about "absurd" laws when he saw this particular statute.
"It shouldn't be on the books to begin with," he said.
--- An LSR that would authorize friends of animals license plates, by Rep. Linda Massimilla, D-Littleton. The idea would allow vanity plates, to be designed later, at a cost of $30 that would fund grants for animal welfare organizations.
-- A proposal to repeal the crime of adultery, by Rep. Tim O'Flaherty, D-Manchester. The current law classifies adultery as a Class B misdemeanor.
-- O'Flaherty has also submitted an LSR that would categorize poker as a game of skill rather than a game of chance. The move could cost the state nearly $1 million in gambling revenue, according to the state Legislative Services Office, because it may remove poker from the purview of the Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission, which has jurisdiction over games of chance.
Poker, via popular charity card games such as Texas Hold 'Em, accounted for 64 percent of the state's charitable gaming revenue in fiscal 2013.
-- An LSR to make June 10 National Freedom Day, by Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-Portsmouth.
-- A proposal that would require state police to wear a camera to record interaction with the public, by Rep. Kyle Tasker, R-Northwood.
The Legislative Services Office estimates that the program would cost the state more than $500,000 to implement, including the purchase of cameras, and an additional $260,000 to $270,000 in later years for maintenance and additional technical and support employees.
-- A proposal to define "farm stand" in New Hampshire as an "on-farm retail operation which only sells products produced on that farm, including homestead products, eggs, cheese and raw milk sold by a producer-distributor producing less than an average of 80 quarts of milk a day."
A farm stand may be off-site with certain conditions under the proposal by Reps. Laurence Rappaport, R-Colebrook, and Robert Theberge, D-Berlin.
-- An LSR to establish a specific penalty for simple assault of a sports official at a sports event. Senate Minority Leader Sylvia Larsen, D-Concord, is the prime sponsor of a bipartisan group behind this bill.
A person convicted of simple assault of a sports official would be fined "not less than $500" and potentially subject to participate in counseling or community service, or temporarily banned from attending sports event, as determined by the court, according to the bill.
The LSRs submitted may be withdrawn at the request of the sponsor, including when there are multiple bill requests proposing the same thing.
Others are dropped without much explanation. The state's LSR list online shows 700 requests for 2014. As of Dec. 26, the number of LSRs withdrawn totaled 96.
Some LSRs stem from constituent requests. Some are modeled after other laws.
Union Leader staff reporters Garry Rayno and Dan Tuohy contributed to this report.
