Pregnant Parking, Wasps' Nests, Suggested Donations, "Arms" Hotels
Well Josh and Spark, touche! I do agree we don't need everyone using their excuses of sniffly noses and "I have a blue-colored car" to try and get parking spaces closer to the mall. However, I do think that people who are rather overweight should have their own designated spaces. Altough, I think those spaces should be at the very end of the parking lot. Because, that extra walking sure as heck couldn't hurt 'em!!— August 30, 2008 2:19 p.m.

Interesting....but not convincing! Maybe the baby is only 7 pounds at birth ( or in my case,each were 9), but, did a couple disgruntled fellas forget to add in the weight of the placenta, all the extra fluids and the extra weight that the mother gains into the equation?? Hmm.. I don't think so. Besides, I'm not saying it's 50 pounds exactly, just saying, it sure feels like it is. Also, why are pregnant women being scrutinized for shopping? I mean, let's just a imagine for a bit..... Previously pregnant, non-shopping woman comes home with her newborn. But, unfortuately now, there is no crib, no diapers, no little stuffed boo-boo bears, no bottles, no (much needed) diaper genie, no cutsie lil "I love Daddy" bibs, or any clothes, for that matter....etc., etc. I mean, she could've sent her husband, but that would just interfere with his job, baseball, football, golf with the guys, Home Depot outtings, the occasional car show, oh, and sleep. Besides, the fact is,no woman in their right mind would send their husband anyway to get new stuff for baby! I could see that now...black "Iron Maiden" bibs, a full sized bed (to alleviate the necessity of upsizing the baby's bed as the baby grows, of course!), a killer "I love to fart" bib, an archery set and plenty of other "precious" items for baby. So, guys, that's why pregnant women need to go shopping! Plus, the parking spaces ARE available, so stop whinning!!!— August 29, 2008 1:26 p.m.

Well, that pic on the sign is bald. So, it could be a man in drag. But, then again, maybe it's just Britney Spears....— August 28, 2008 4:26 p.m.

About the pregnant women's parking... WOW!!! Gotta love all the sensitive guys out there!! What happened to chivalry? I guess it's too much to ask of you hopeless romantics to just walk the extra 500 feet yourselves? I mean afterall, we women are walking around carrying your little bundles of joy and hope. Just doing our part for humanity and all. Not to mention, taking the beating that comes with it. Swollen feet, aching backs, hormonal imbalances, indigestion, hot flashes, labor pains (which can kind of be described as someone roundhousing you in the gut when you aren't wearing pads, except the intentsity is lasting for hours instead of seconds), itchy stretch marks, and all of the other wonderful pregnancy sypmtoms we woman get to endure for the sake of delivering future generations. Hey, I have a crazy idea....why don't all you Mr. not-so-nice guys strap about 50 pounds of bricks around your waists and live like that for just a week...then, after that, you can let me know if that 500 extra feet looks alot better!!! Maybe, just maybe, that might make a gentleman out of one or two of you. Also, I didn't need my husband's money, thank you very much, I bought baby's clothes with my own hard-earned mula! Oh, and to the guy who decided to gripe in the first place, I can't wait until your girlfriend is pregnant!! I put a hex on her for twins....muahahaha!!— August 28, 2008 2:43 p.m.
