I know you're not all parents, but I am, and this is my website. Simplicity has (begrudgingly, it seems) posted a recall on their bassinets. Not all of them, but they have issued at least 2 recalls because after the first one, another baby died in another model bassinet. I can't find one good site that explains it all, but the Elfe site has a notice (you sort of have to look, though) and if you google it you'll find lots of things.
My vote goes to if you have a Simplicity brand bassinet you return it and get your money back, and if you have a bassinet of a similar design you maybe stop using it. I checked mine, it's First Years, and I can't see how it would be a danger, but my little sweet pea sleeps in her crib now anyway. With airflow bumpers and no big blankets, toys, or pillows. I lay her down on her back but she rolls over, so I can't help that she sleeps on her tummy. My heart goes out to the poor families who lost children when they were trying to sleep their babies in (what should have been) the safest place possible.

remember the song "I kissed a girl"?
No, not that one. this one. It's so much better than the new one. Who are you trying to fool, Katy Perry? I'll admit, it's catchy, the new one, but the original is just better.
Lyrics, for those of you opposed to youtube.
I Kissed a Girl
Jill Sobule
(1995)
Genny came over and told me 'bout Fred
"He's such a hairy behemoth," she said
"Dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy."
And I opened up and told her 'bout Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better
So we laughed
Compared notes
We had a drink, we had a smoke
She took off her over coat
I kissed a girl
So she called home to say she'd be late
He said he'd worried but now he feels safe
"I'm glad you're with your girlfriend, tell her hi for me."
So I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes
But it only lasted a little while
And then I felt your hand above my knee
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad I kissed a girl
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl
And I may do it again
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
But better
I kissed a girl
Won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl

Fall 2008 Premieres!
For my seester. And I have to say, it was tricky to track down a list with all the networks and the times! Let's assume they're Eastern, since that seems to always be the case. So, add an hour or whatever, figure it out for yourselves. The CW has lots of shows, we'll get some of them I'm sure, but I don't know when. Sorry.
It's a long list. I was going to delete all the ones I don't give 2 hoots about, but I thought that might be thoughtless of me. I crossed some of the ones I'm opposed to instead. And bolded the ones I'm excited for. I have to say, I have not heard of most of the new shows. Am I out of the loop? Anyway. Here you go folks. Get out your dayplanners, and make plans accordingly.
