My Rant Against : Flying Ant DVD (Word World)

Rant against the:

Flying Ant DVD (Word World)

WordWorld began airing on PBS in September 2007
WTF!!!!!!
I THOUGHT THEY COULD BE TRUSTED! NOT !!!!!!!

The Pig is a star, a hansome, fantastic chef with it's own cooking show. Except, it's not allowed to eat the food! Cook the food but don't eat the food~that's hard.

(To me that's weird)!
( so that fat pig charactor is encourage/not allowed to eat? What does that teach children? To be anorexic & have eating disorders?)
They did not have a contact us button in order to comment !

People we really need to watch closely the infulences of some of these cartoons.

I mean why not have the Pig eat & cook with herbs & veggies & low fats healthy meals?
The not letting the PIG eat is just offensive & would teach the WRONG message to kids.

OKAY SO THIS WAS LISTED AS A PRIZE IN A GIVEAWAY FROM ANOTHER BLOG!


While I love to win stuff just like everyone esle.......sometimes I run across something like this that just piss's me off!
This cartoon boost how it teaches kids.....my question just what underlying messages are they teaching. The pig is just one many screwed up & twisted charactors. Really? PBS I truly thought we could trust you!

About This Site
Hi there. My name is Melanie. Some people know me as Chilihead. Shannon, over at Rocks In My Dryer, originally started Bloggy Giveaways. When she was ready to retire, she sent out boxes of chocolate with five golden tickets buried somewhere in the wrappers. I was one of the lucky recipients, toured her blogging factory, didn't give the secrets to Slugworth, and won the prize. Something like that.

Writing at my other blog has taught me many things, among them that it is FUN to host giveaways. I love it.

Enter this blog, which is simply a home for hosting giveaways. The idea is simple, really. Companies both large and small are interested in getting their products out there in front of you, the consumer. And you, presumably, are interested in the chance to win free stuff.

So when companies contact me, interested in giving out buzz-generating free stuff, I pass the chance to win on to you in a post highlighting their product. You leave a comment on the post. After a couple of days, I draw a random winner from the comments. There are no strings attached--I won't host giveaways for any company that requires any payment (including shipping).

Anyone who wins a giveaway will not be eligible to win another one at my site for 30 days.

And that's it. Y'all play nice, and have fun.

{SO BASICALLY SHE HOST NUMEROUS BLOG GIVEAWAYS FROM WONDERFUL COMPANIES.....ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STOP BY , LEAVE A COMMENT & BE READY TO WIN SOME FABULOUS PRIZES}
I ENTERED TODAY AROUND NOON & FOUND OUT I WAS THE WINNER AROUND SUPPER TIME.....IS THAT FAST OR WHAT!)
If you're looking for fantastic gifts & more for yourself or your love ones.......start here at Bloggy for the best ideas! Sign up to win......I did & WOW! This Cross is so beautiful!

Lucky Girl(Peggy)
Gender: Female
Industry: Arts
Location: Durham : North Carolina : United States
About Me
In the spring of 2001 I was overwhelmed by sadness and huge piles of clutter. My marriage was in the midst of a very ugly ending, and he had left tons of his stuff behind. I suddenly realized that I was a very lucky girl to be rid of him, and Lucky Girl Trading Company was born. I began listing his stuff for sale on eBay, clearing away both the clutter and the sadness. A few years later I met my lucky guy--who was selling a bit of jewelry--and married him in a hot air balloon ceremony in 2006. We've worked together to build Lucky Girl Trading into a fun and fulfilling enterprise. I've discovered working with glass--one of my all-time favorite creative outlets. I've also discovered two ancient arts: Kumihimo and Temari. Both are centuries-old crafts, and both give me a zen-like tranquility while working. I truly am a Lucky Girl! Every day I gather pretty, sparkly things and send them to people. I imagine a person opening their mail and taking out their new pendant or chain or pouch. It's perfect--they have a huge smile on their face--and so do I. I'd love for that person to be you!

This week's question:If your blog could have a mascot, what would it be?
My Answer: GUMMY BEARS!


My question if you could move to anywhere & live out the rest of your life ~where would you go?

My Answer: Scottland

Alice In Wonderland

I LOVE THIS QUOTE!

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to walk from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you walk," said the Cat.
"so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "If only you walk long enough."Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland





This one quote (the whole) quote is my FAVORITE!
However, this version is strange!
It uses the exact words from the book!

Alice In Wonderland (1983) - Cheshire Cat



This is the Disney version ~it does not complete the quote.

SUSAN HEIM ON PARENTING

I JUST WON: "UPSIDE DOWN" CD BY JIM COSGROVE,AKA "MR. STINKY FEET"!
I WON THIS CHILDRENS CD FROM SUSAN HEIM ON PARENTING!
SO WHO IS SUSAN HEIM & JIM COSGROVE? LET ME INTRODUCE YOU!

Susan is an EDITOR/AUTHOR & has a wonderful blog were you can find Christian based, humorous, insigthful & self help books on Parenting & more! She has wonderful giveaways & links/reviews on things any parent who love to be "in the know" about!
Here's her about me intro:
Susan M. Heim is an author and editor, specializing in parenting, multiples, women’s and Christian issues. Her books include "Oh, Baby! 7 Ways a Baby Will Change Your Life the First Year"; "Twice the Love: Stories of Inspiration for Families with Twins, Multiples and Singletons"; "It's Twins! Parent-to-Parent Advice from Infancy Through Adolescence"; "Boosting Your Baby's Brain Power"; and, "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Twins and More." She is also an editor for the bestselling "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series. Susan is the founder of TwinsTalk, a website for parents of twins and multiples. She writes a regular column called "Loving and Living with Twins and Multiples" on MommiesMagazine.com. She is an expert on twins and multiples for AllExperts.com and ParentsConnect.com, and a parenting expert on SelfGrowth.com. She is married and the mother of four sons -- two teenagers and twin preschoolers.
Jim Cosgrove is a performer of children's songs:
Jim Cosgrove -- who got his nickname, “Mr. Stinky Feet,” following the success of his 1999 release called Stinky Feet -- has delighted audiences throughout North America and Europe for the past decade, including two performances at The White House. His recordings have earned five national Parents’ Choice Awards, a National Parenting Publications Award, and two Parent-to-Parent Adding Wisdom Awards.

Cosgrove’s brand-new CD, Upside Down, his seventh release, celebrates the wondrous (and sometimes topsy-turvy) moments in a kid’s life, like discovering a Pizza Tree in the backyard, watching bugs party in the basement, swinging as high as the sky, and scribbling outside the lines. This collection of songs includes “Let’s Stick Together,” a tune inspired by (and performed with) his 3-1/2-year-old daughter Lyda after her little sister Willa suffered skull fractures and brain swelling when she was only two months old after being hit by a line-drive foul ball at a professional baseball game.

Want to hear some of Jim Cosgrove’s music? Just go to http://www.jimcosgrove.com/music.htm and click on the many tunes he has available. My twins and I were laughing and dancing around when we heard music from Mr. Stinky Feet’s Road Trip, Mr. Stinky Feet’s Christmas, Ooey Gooey, Bop Bop Dinosaur, and more!

KUDO'S TO SUSAN FOR HER INSPIRATIONAL CREATIVITY & WRITTINGS!
THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY! I WISH YOU SUCCESS IN UNLIMITED IDEA'S & INSPIRATIONS IN YOUR WRITTINGS!
KUDO'S TO JIM COSGROVE FOR YOU CHILDREN'S SONGS ~THAT ARE CHRISTIAN BASED & FUN FOR OUR CHILDREN TO SING & DANCE ALONG TO.
