As I have written here many times - I love my Dyson. That said, it isn't perfect and doesn't pick up dog hair in carpet as well as I would like. I have been watching an infommercial for the Shark Navigator which claims to be great at picking up pet hair and that it doesn't get all wrapped around the brush, like on my Dyson. So I figured it is worth a try to put out a request that someone send me one. If it works as promised I will not only write a review here, but also at Amazon and elsewhere.
Hey, it is worth a try. After spending a bunch of money on my new Dyson last year I can't really justify buying another vacuum simply because it claims to be better on pet hair.

Rush Limbaugh: Michelle Obama 'Doesn't Look Like' She Eats Healthy Foods (AUDIO)
Limbaugh chides Michelle Obama's looks:
Politics aside, I think Michelle Obama is beautiful, and she dresses beautifully too. She's a woman. But even that shouldn't matter, as we know. Well, some of us know, Limbaugh doesn't. Oh cynical me, I think he does know, he doesn't care. He's an infotainment clown dishing the gossip to the cotton candy stuffing ignorant.

I'm trying to say that our First Lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you."Dahlings, like he should talk, ahem.

Miscarry? You're a Murder Suspect
Georgia state representative Bobby Franklin has introduced a bill requiring police to treat women who've miscarried as murder suspects:
Joe. My. God.: GEORGIA: Wingnut GOP Rep Wants Police To Investigate All Miscarriages
Franklin wants to create a Uterus Police to investigate miscarriages, and requires that any time a miscarriage occurs, whether in a hospital or without medical assistance, it must be reported and a fetal death certificate issued. If the cause of death is unknown, it must be investigated. If the woman can't tell how it happened, than those Uterus Police can ask family members and friends how it happened. Hospitals are required to keep records of anyone who has a spontaneous abortion and report it.

Has the fanny pack returned?
I had to laugh at this one; I hate fanny packs. At work we're encouraged to wear them, or something akin to them but no one, and I mean no one, will wear one. A mutiny, I tell you. We wear cross body bags, or stuff things in our pockets, or whatever but fanny packs, no way. NO WAY. EVER. I do like some of these however, including the purple one. But they mostly seem just like cross body purses but lower, or, too thin to really hold anything.
The fanny pack returns! - Once reviled fanny packs get a high-fashion makeover (and an even higher pricetag) on Shine

Shopping!
After our UFO conference meeting today I headed over to a local shopping area called Uptown. My plan was just to go to Trader Joes, but then I decided to also do a quick walk through of the open air mall. I came across a shop called Francesca's Collection. I had never been there before and what drew me in wasn't the clothing, but the accessories!
I bought way more accessories than I need considering the boxes and boxes I already have. What could I do? They were on clearance and really cheap! Most of the clothes were too youngish for my taste, but I did buy the vest in that photo and a leopard print scarf. :-)
Anyhow, a fun day for me!

Strange Obsessions: Mother Forces 5 yr old to get brows waxed
This is very sad; an obsessed and clearly disconnected woman forces her five year old daughter to get her brows waxed for an upcoming beauty pageant. This clip is hard to watch; the child is crying and screaming. The mother doesn't care and says "They call them beauty pageants for a reason..." in defense of her actions.

Aspartame now hiding in your organic food
http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2010/12/22/monsantos-neotame-molecule-allowed-in-usda-certified-organic-foods/
Not that it isn't already hiding under many names in many different foods. This is the rule I follow, if anything claims to be low in calories and is something sweet or that normally has sugar -- I don't buy it. However, there are probably lots of products that I don't think of as containing sugar or that isn't claiming to be low in calories that I might buy being unaware that it contains Aspartame. At this point I will just have to check every label and try to remember all the many deceptive names.
