The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they’re okay, then it’s you.

Family that plays together, stays together.

In doing my shopping for Bacchus Jr. (BJ) this year I purposely sought out Play-Doh. Since BJ was 2, he has always enjoyed playing with some form of Play-Doh. After receiving a molding kit for x-mas last year, we just added to it whenever the colors got hard or too mixed up to resemble any recognizable color. I was interested in seeing what other Play-Doh products were available so I visited the official Hasbro site and learned that Play- Doh was originally designed as a compound to assist with wallpaper cleaning. Bet you didn’t know that….Don’t ask me how, I just thought it was interesting.

The website has some useful items that include tips for parents, teachers and a fresh idea page–more than enough to keep your young one entertained all year long.

Wal-Mart has the Play Doh Creativity Table for $28.95.

Toys R Us has the Play Doh Fun Bucket for $10.99

KB Toys has the Classic Colors Four Pack for $3.99

So if you are looking for a last minute gift item for a young one, consider a gift that is timeless and helps them explore their imagination.

“We’ll roll out the Palm Treo 700w smartphone based on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile, and we’ll announce three additional new smartphones during calendar year 2006.” said said Ed Colligan. During the conference call he further stated that these new models will debut with new industrial designs and at different price points. They will also implement next-generation radio technologies.

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church’s morals, kept sticking her nose into other people’s business. Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused Henry, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town’s only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told Henry and several others that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing. Henry, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn’t explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing. Later that evening, Henry quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred’s house… walked home…. and left it there all night. You gotta love Henry!
