annielou commented on the article RavBytes: Reactions To Pfizer Shooting Are Mixed & Heated:
When people aren't given details of matters, they jump to conclusions and make assumptions. Chesterfield = wealthy and white.The media hasn't said anything disproving this, therefore, that's what people will assume.

annielou commented on the article If You Don't Have Kids (Or Even If You Do) Ease Your Toy Envy Online:
I definitely have a Mr. and Mrs. PotatoHead and a Magic 8 ball! They generally prove to be a big hit with guests. Also, I brought a Magic 8 ball as a gift for my office's holiday Rob Your Neighbor game (whose theme was 'adult toys,' get your mind out of the gutter!) and it was stolen several times!

annielou commented on the article RavBytes: Parents, Please Don't Be This Guy:
I saw this all the time when I was an umpire and when I played softball, basketball, soccer! It's awful parenting and it's teaching those kids that it's okay to behave that way!

annielou commented on the article RavBytes: Local Ex-Con Given A Ticket To Obama's Innauguration:
The guy turned himself around. You can always play the "someone is more deserving game" but that will just lead to bitterness and cynicism.

That being said, I am not an ex-con and I'd like to go...

annielou commented on the article RavBytes: St. Louis Gets A Bum Rep From Health Mags:
Of all the cities I've spent extended time in, St. Louis, by far, has the worst drivers, most fast food restaurants, and definitely, definitely, definitely the most smokers. Those probably can leave a pretty bad mark for St. Louis!

annielou commented on the article Ask St. Louis: Are Dogs Or Cats The Better Pet?:
I'm slightly biased because I was attacked by two cats when I was three and have the scars to proove it, but... cats deficate inside. Need I say more?

How about no more leaving a restroom without washing your hands. That's just... ehgo8i! How can you DO THAT?! Did you pass kindergarten?

annielou commented on the article Snail Mail vs. E-Mailed Holiday Cards:
As long as they're thoughtful with a personal message, I think any kind of greeting is appreciated. Getting a card because someone feels like they're supposed to give you one always stinks!

Check out the song Laduesier. Quite possibly my favorite song of any local musician!

If the idea of kids running around screaming and hijacking the copy machine actually sounds fun, do you think that means I should go back to education?

annielou commented on the article Starting To Feel Bad For Jen: Over Played:
She does look a little rodent-esque! But man, I don't blame the girl for still being hurt that she isn't in a position to have a family. Then again, I still think ugly Christmas sweater parties are amusing.

annielou commented on the article Gentlemen, Can We Talk About This 'Bro' Thing?:
Nate and Nick call each other bro, but it's a military thing and doesn't really manifest itself elsewhere. However if it ever deviated into "brah" I would probably lose my mind!

annielou commented on the article Barn Buddies: Poppy & Sage:
What a thoughtful gift! I have a friend who adopted a penguin through the St. Louis Zoo for me for my birthday. It was one of the best birthday presents I'd ever received, as penguins are my favorite!

annielou commented on the article RavBytes: If I Had $75 Million Dollars To Spend On The City...:
Wow, that totally disgusts me. Okay, I take it back. The fact that they're asking is downright greedy, but understandable. What disgusts me is that the decision will not come from the tax payers, but rather the "special committee." If the public schools asked for that kind of money, it would go to the tax payers vote, not some "special committee" who would eagerly push it through. The priorities in this country are unbelievable. American automakers want me to buy their cars (never again, after my Ford EXPLODED while I was driving it... perfectly maintained and 5 years old) when their cars are not worth buying and now professional sports who drop millions on people are uping ticket prices and asking for tax credits. I... don't get it.

I have a lower average body temperature (it's usually around like 97.2 or something) but get warm really, really easily. Maybe I just run around a lot?!
