Scrapbooking Kit Suggestions

Received this email today from my scrapbook site:

I was just wondering, first, I'd like to say thank u for the printable, I;m just going crazy and next I need a divorce page, my husband and I was divorced and then remarried and need to explain this in my book, JUST WONDERING, HAVE A GOOD DAY AND THANKS AGAIN!
I forwarded this interesting email to a scrapbooking friend who replied to me:

"don't you think most people would want to just brush over this - not memorialize it in a scrapbook? tell her to take her meds & just use the wedding ones she has - she can tear the wedding rings/bells/etc. in half to indicate the divorce, and put them back together for remarriage."

and later

"still laughing over woman wanting to scrapbook divorce & subsequent remarriage. you could do pages for surrogate pregnancies. in-vitro fertilization (little sperm & egg borders, plus die cuts shaped like petrie dishes). or how about "i caught my husband cheating" pages. Memphis alone might have a market for "my husband, the public servant, was indicted". or "is he my baby daddy" with a little yes/no flipper that spins around. i think the market has been limited to the basic white middle-class mormon population. there's room to expand. "

What kind of kook friends do you have? Memphis must be home of stupidest criminals (not including public servants). On 5 o'clock news, there was a story of a woman test driving a range rover suv w/ child in baby seat and trying to rob a credit union in drive through lane by saying she had been car-jacked and a bomb would go off if they didn't give her money. No, I am NOT making this up. Credit Union employees concerned about the child followed her, and woman is in custody of police, & child is in protective services. I'm reading between the lines, but I'm thinking she didn't get any money. This has GOT to make national news! You saw it here first! here's channel 3 (cbs affiliate) link:

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
