http://laney-lanesworld.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-quick-reaction-to-newtown.html
Veganism, Ethics, Parenting.and whatever else I feel like writing about. View my complete profile. Saturday, December 15, 2012. A quick reaction to Newtown. As somebody trained in sociology of mental health, people might be surprised that I'm NOT on the "it's all about mental health" bandwagon in the wake of the Newtown shooting. WHY? So, let's keep the focus where it belongs: on GUN CONTROL rather than on the shooter's alleged mental health status. I care deeply about access to mental health treatment, ...

Veganism, Ethics, Parenting.and whatever else I feel like writing about. View my complete profile. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Title courtesy of friend Jonathan Bradlow.). Before I get on a roll here, let me preface this with: I'm not conservative or even particularly religious. So, when somebody like *me* starts to criticize what parents let their kids wear, you know there's a chance that the proverbial line really HAS been crossed. Back to the topic: kids' clothing. By fifth grade, however, a lot of paren...

This morning, I picked up my daughter from a sleepover. She and her friend (and the friend's Mom) went to see the eighth - and last - Harry Potter film last night. They were so intent on getting a good seat that they got in line at the mall at 1 pm for the midnight show. I am not that dedicated a Mom. How was the movie? Not, "I wish I could. It's not that...

Veganism, Ethics, Parenting.and whatever else I feel like writing about. View my complete profile. Friday, August 26, 2011. This morning, I logged onto cbsnews.com. As I nearly always do, to see what was up. Pictures of a bomb blast in Nigeria caught my eye. The first picture was of three men carrying an injured woman. Away from the building. I looked closer. Was I seeing what I thought I was? Had CBS *really* posted a picture of a woman, sans underwear, such that one could see her genitals? I get that m...

We had planned this months in advance, and our friend Kendall was going to watch the kids while we were away. Since Kendall (who I've written about before. Well, she GOT A JOB! Son: "No, it's not.".

I may disagree 1000% with what you stand for or what you believe, but I’ll defend to the death your right to *say* or *write* it, as well as my right to respond to you. I'm totally pissed off right now because somebody deleted a post of mine on a private Facebook page, presumably because she didn’t like the political nature of it. Isn’t it true that, had she l...

Read that again: taping up his body with duct tape because here, in the richest country in the world with the best-trained doctors in the world, a hard-working, honest guy tapes up his hernia so he can go out at work for his family. Crap I forgot. That's kinda been scrapped, too. Goodness, schools should be raisin...

Veganism, Ethics, Parenting.and whatever else I feel like writing about. View my complete profile. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Do I Owe You An Apology? When I first started this blog, I was blogging pretty regularly - at least once a week, if not twice. About half of my posts were on veganism or diet and the other half were a combination of news or parenting experiences. Then my kids let me know that they did NOT want to be visible on my blog, so I lost about 25% of my material. Been writing; I just haven't...

Having been with the same guy since I was 18, I noted that I am *so* not the person to ask about dating. She recently went to sell an antique church pew (she posted it online) and one guy told her he'd buy it from her if he could spend the night. A piece of antique furniture from a church, no less? After watching ...
