It's not about the rug

Classic Barb Guy
This is a "classic Barb" column, in the best way! Full of potential angst, questioning, personal details, and an ending full of love. :) PS: Cute pic of David!— April 19, 2012 12:11 p.m.
The Accident: Part 2
I have tears in my eyes. Thank god; and barring belief in that, thank everyone and everything that pulled your dad through this. OX— November 8, 2011 3:55 p.m.
Friendlies
First, Go Paul & Sarah! Secondly, good riddance to bad trash. I mean, duh. Good on whoever did report that sorry guy. Imagine him expecting Facebook to be "democratic" and treating it like he was some kind of anonymous poster somewhere in the blogosphere. As if! He was dumb on too many levels.— October 11, 2011 6:04 p.m.
Photography Is Not a Crime
In the same way a photographer interperates a scene to convey what they wish the viewer to see, I think you've presented/crafted this story in a 'Diva' way for your readers. It seems the father's initial reaction to you taking pictures was fairly strong, but I bet the exchange was ultimately cordial. Reading, however, it has a Diva attitude as DianaGeorgina points out. Any conversation starting with "Look," simply doesn't come off nicely. There's no argument on the letter of the law as you've stated it. The man was within his rights too, though, in requesting that you not film his child. You didn't 'have' to accommodate him under the circumstances, but being a reasonable person, you did, and being who you are, you took the opportunity to educate him, and now rest of us as well. Even though you are right, I don't think the way the information comes across will help people graciously accept the reality. That said, I also bet you'll run into a fewer people objecting to you taking images of their children now - at least among Reader readers. ;)— June 12, 2011 5:53 a.m.
Happy Pill
The new drugs are pretty amazing! Hope you're doing well, and the 'what ifs' are less audible. :) Love the video - forgot how funny it is!— April 22, 2010 11:56 a.m.
Morbid Curiosity
"Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach. Good reading! http://books.google.com/books?id=lDX9C441kxkC&pri…— March 16, 2010 5:36 p.m.
The Detailer
You're right - not only will finding the perfect word for a house cleaner be nearly impossible, finding a really good person will be harder! Don't get me started on our team. The only reason we didn't fire them last time they came was because they brought their 2 year-old and we are wimps and who could do that in front of a kid!? Anyway, we call them housekeepers, so at least that's settled for us! David, good luck with all those chores. :)— September 27, 2009 5:36 p.m.
Insidious Infections
"...not a germophobe so much as germaware." - LOL!!!! Good one, Barb. :) Mono SUCKS - way worse than strep in my opinion having experienced the 'joy' of both. Barb, good thing you didn't get it from all that kissing back in your raver days!— September 17, 2009 5:51 p.m.
Comfy Cozy
Great Article! It's a very true thing in these times that we need comfort. I confess I've saved much of my multitude of fuzzy friends to pass on to my children... and I still have my first teddy bear. :)— August 11, 2009 5:59 p.m.
