RATM stands for R age A gainst T he M inivan. Rage Against The Minivan is the name of a blog i follow, written by a woman named Kristen, whose blog i have been following ever since i saw her and her husband on The View (which i almost never watch, but happened to watch that day) talking about adoption, a subject that interests me a great deal. Why am i telling you this? O.k., i'm getting to that. One of Kristen's aims in life in general and in her blog is to (i'm paraphrasing now) help rid the world of false stereotypes (as i understand it).

Isn’t it great to be alive?” Together the twins explored their world. When they found their mother’s cord that gave them life, they sang for joy, “how great is our Mother’s love, that she shares her own life with us!” As weeks stretched into months, the twins noticed how much each was changing. “what does it mean?” asked the one. “It means that our stay in this world is drawing to an end, said the other. “But I don’t want to go”, said the other, “but maybe there is life after birth.” But how can there be?” responded the other one. “We will...
you, the world of people who know about dogs more than i do, probably already discovered this sort of thing, but i was pretty proud of myself, so i thought i'd share. since i raise chickens, i have grown accustomed to reading those dang product labels to figure out the differences between the different feeds. i have read a LOT of product labels lately. recently, i was able to apply my extremely limited experience to dog food. as you might imagine, dog food gets expensive around here lately. up until recently, we had NINE dogs. you'd be surprised how much those cute little puppies can consume. and we really do want to feed our puppies PUPPY food, but it's so dang much more expensive, that sometimes we just can't handle it, and we buy the cheapest looking morsel we can find. but then those darling little puppies look you in the eye, and you think you're doing them wrong or something. so yesterday, i went to the store for dog food. again. back to my r...
