June Is Buzzin' Out All Over
Here's what's been buzzing around the iVillage community over the past few days:
-- Ok, the 2008 elections may seem like a long way off, but that's not slowing down the prospective candidates as they stump, debate and fundraise their way into next year. Of course that doesn't stop the speculation and volatile opinions of the voters either, especially when it comes to Hillary Clinton. Would you vote for Hillary? Is she electable and does the fact that she's a woman have anything to do with your opinion? [from the Feminism Today message board]
-- Ahhh, the sounds of summer ... but sonny321 isn't soothed by the tones of the Good Humor truck, declaring, "I hate the ice cream man." Yikes. She explains her rage: "My boys are under the misguided impression that I ought to give them money every day to buy treats from the ice cream man." Any ideas for putting the kibosh on the summer treat squeeze? [from the Primal Scream message board]
-- Recognize yourself? One mom writes, "Do other women feel like me? I'm so overwhelmed at the moment with my "to do" list that I find myself shutting down and getting so irritable." I'd say that's me pretty much everyday, so you're not alone -- who's with me? [from the March 2005 Playgroup]
-- eHarmony, the popular online dating site, is being sued for discriminating against gays. Is not offering a "women seeking women" option discrimination? Does the class-action lawsuit stand a chance against founder Neil Clark Warren and his Natalie Cole background music? There's a huge clash of opinions on this story coming from all sides. [from the Hot Debates message board]
-- Do you find you have a hard time letting let go? You're not the only one -- take this dilemma, for example: "My 23 year old boyfriend sleeps with a three foot long stuffed moose." You know, I'm having trouble pinpointing the best part of this statement. Is it that the guy is 23? That he's sleeping with a stuffed moose? Or that it's a three foot long stuffed moose? Is now the wrong time to admit I'm very attached to my Care Bear? [from the Ask the Dating Doyenne message board]

Funny.. my husband knows I'm peeved at him when I drag out my raccoon and sleep with it rather than him. I think it's endearing.
LOL again at the stuffed moose! I have stuffed animals, too, but the only one I sleep with is hubby. ;)
Yep, my "to do" list seems a mile long at times, and that's when I tend to get grumpy with those around me. But, I have learned to delegate more and more, and it's helped me a lot.
After watching a Rachel Ray episode where they showed what lives on stuffed animals, I'd say he needs to kick it to the curb!
As for the ice cream man, I can relate. My kid thinks he should get ice cream every day too. The only problem is that when he gets something, he always gets those yucky characters made of the fake ice cream with gum ball eyes things and then never eats it!
One of the many joys of moving out in the country is the absence of the ice cream truck. ;-)
oh yes, do I hate the ice cream man! It doesn't matter what we have in the freezer, they want to spend $2.50 on a spiderman or a spongebob ice cream "treat" full of dyes and artificial flavorings... explaining that I can get TWO WHOLE BOXES of ice cream treats for what it costs the 3 of them to get an icky sticky mess from the Ice Cream Man is frustrating and having that music playing non-stop through the neighborhood grates on my nerves. I cannot stand the ice cream man. Sorry.
The ice cream truck gives me the creeps. I think I've seen one too many episodes of Dateline: To Catch a Predator maybe, because I am always suspicious of ice cream men!
What I wonder is why does the ice cream man patrol my neighborhood at dinnertime?
And, ah, em, er, the moose thing is just creepy.
So far, I've been lucky. The Ice Cream man hasn't come around here since they stopped building houses in our neighborhood. Apparently, they're very popular with the construction gang. ;)
Of course, now I've jinxed myself but I can find some wood to knock on!
Stuffed moose? All the time? Not good. Ice Cream man...be a Parent and just say no. Geez. how hard is that? Hillary...hate her. Would love to see a woman president but definitely not her!
I'm definetely ready for a woman president but I just don't think Hilary is the one for me. I wish we had more women stepping up.
I live out in the boonies, so the ice cream man doesn't come out here, save for the Schwann's truck that delivers stuff to my neighbors across the road, lol - but he doesn't play music. ;)
LMAO about the 3 foot long stuffed moose. Run, girlfriend. Run like the wind!
