Crib bans, make no real sense

-

Read this before you start to get bent out of shape: After Dozens of Deaths, drop-sided cribs banned.

Okay, for a long time in our history of the nations, these cribs have appeared in day-care centers, in our homes as we have babies. Now we seem to have a slight problem. It appears these cribs are too dangerous for our children.

This ban goes into affect in June and this requires parents and day-care centers, yes and event our trusty hospitals to turn around and dispose of these things.

In many cases, since I am an aunt and I am of the opinion that yes safety is an issue, and also that parents do need to take a good look at what they are buying before they get it. Look at the directions of putting these cribs together, make sure the pieces fit and also for the love of the world GET A BABY monitor. At least something that can have parents looking and seeing if the baby is OK.

Sorry to be a wet blanket on the issue of these cribs, but considering how our nation seems to like to ban anything. The next thing that will be up for ban would maybe be a freaking Wii or something that they will view as having an impact and also trying to kill your friends with a freaking long as heck little rod.

Could our nation be any more paranoid than they already are?

"Around for decades, drop-side cribs have come under scrutiny in recent years because of malfunctioning hardware, sometimes cheaper plastics, or assembly problems that can lead to the drop-side rail partially detaching from the crib. When that happens, it can create a dangerous "V"-like gap between the mattress and side rail where a baby can get caught and suffocate or strangle." (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101215/ap_on_bi_ge/us_safer_cribs)

I am reading this article thinking, dear goddess did they think that maybe the directions should have been followed? Were parents even aware of trying to check the sides and make sure that the gaps could be filled with pillows or something? Or are people that dumb to think that by banning it would safe a bunch of lives?

I have no idea, but considering how stupid this is in my view, I might be a parent someday and yet, I would like some way to lift down the side. I'm 4'9", do I need to consistently ask my fiance at the moment to come and put the baby in the crib because I'm too freaking short to do this? Or should we just make an effort to build our own cribs. Let's not forget we also have historical cribs that are a little more dangerous.

What is your opinion on this matter? Should we just have the unmovable sides and have people who are possibly unable to move them down or should we trust in the government telling us how we need to protect our children.

What's next, a recall of fluffy homemade toys by GRANDMA?

Time to Go Back and see a YouTuber named Chaos55t

-
 While everyone is focused on the drama with Shannon (CreepShow Art) I took the time to watch some of the old videos that got me started watching the art commentators. Chaos55t who has a quite a lot of subs about 350K at one point of time or thereabouts. She has got the most charming of voices and also showed with the humor and her story time with the fan stories, some of which were mine at one point.  I have mad respect for a girl who went through drama and was able to talk about it in a frank and friendly way, she even got me through some pretty dark times as well. I have to say she's the kind of YouTuber we all need at some point where she will give you a hint of her childhood, with her art, her funny perspectives and also showing how great a storyteller she can totally be.  Link: Chaos55t I would tell you to please at least watch a few of her videos and her links to her Deviant Art, FurrAffinity and many others will give you something to think about. She will also do ...

Where I started to learn...everything!

-
 Welcome to my in progress work blog, I am working for a company and this is how I am going to take notes for that. So while this blogger is used to commentary, but I am actively reviewing LinkinLearning and so far, the classes are better than what I thought. I am going to make a few observations for the sake of those who are looking for bettering their job or what they want.  For starters, let's start with the Customer Service lessons, there are tons and a few call out the fact that some are for how often the business is going to be using. I am going to say that some of these are helpful, though I am going to mention that some are just annoying as hell. There are Time Management classes and then Photography.  Time Management, Superior Customer Service, Creativity in the Workplace, and there are something to be said about all the classes I have  taken. These are now numbering about 10 to 12 classes at a given time. The first few is about communications as well. ...

Push come to Shove, the entire...community breakdown and build up

-
 While I have posted my grief regarding Shannon (CreepShow Art) and her BS, I am going to make this simple and research that has been a total crap shot. For starters, the entire community is trying their best to put out fires and some of them are set by their own community.  The diss music videos is not helping the community at all, it just shows how petty and selfish the community can be. Even when one of their own has fallen, I am not going to say we ignore Shannon's actions, I am saying we can better ourselves by doing what we can to stop the actions that have been going on.  I am refraining from using any forms of calling her names, I would much rather we move to make better material than what she could produce. The community has produced in the past the best artwork I have seen for awhile.  I have watched CreepShow Art, but I think that Emily Artful and many others have much more content and better things to say than that.  When I observe what is going on, ...
