“I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could not spare any more time for that one. It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves.”

Mattel Hates Children

Looks like we mamas are going to have to do something afterall. Although there are very few details available yet, there seems to be more evidence that MATTEL HATES CHILDREN.

CNN.com is reporting tonight that Mattel will announce tomorrow YET ANOTHER toy recall. This one (the third this summer) involves toys MADE IN CHINA that contain EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF LEAD PAINT. Sound familiar, people?

The news report on CNN says tomorrow's announcement will be a recall of a Fisher-Price toy (not very specific) and accessories to a Barbie playset. Hundreds of thousands of toys will apparently be recalled. That's better than the millions earlier this summer, but it's the same issue, folks. The. Same. Issue.

Please, join me in sending a message to Mattel. We do not like companies that hate our children. We will not buy your shit. Seriously. Your shit can hurt our babies. You are a bunch of ruthless, money-grubbing assholes.

Pass it on to your real friends and family, your invisible internet friends, and your imaginary friends: MATTEL LOVES MONEY. MATTEL HATES CHILDREN.

Be smart. Look for the logo. Don't buy it. Even if your kid cries. Crying is better than brain damage.

Student of Life,

About the Blue Lagoon. I looked at the real estate sheet outside the tavern and it's going for $360,000. If I'm not mistaken, five acres of land come with it, too!

Now isn't this just what your family needs? A move to North Idaho and a tavern to run and a kitchen to keep good food coming out to rednecks and tourists near Medimont?

For your sake, I hope you travel in this part of the country one day. My pictures do some justice to North Idaho's beauty: but seeing is definitely believing.

I'm back to Oregon tomorrow and have to bid this gorgeous piece of the world farewell 'til next time.

take care,
rp

Name: Student of Life
Location: South Cackalacki, United States

I'm a TV news producer turned stay-at-home mom. The transition from career woman to full-time mommy has been quite a journey, and I've learned a lot. I am a wife and the mother of two boys, My Little Sunshine and Dos. I write about being a wife and a mother, but I also write about being a woman trying to find a new place in the world. I have been known to go on rather verbose rants, usually about stupidity and ignorance--sometimes both. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that I want to be a student of life until my last breath.
