We’re all snowed in here in Northeast City. I love it (I will only feel this way today - the rest of the winter will be piss and moan city, so enjoy my positivity while it lasts)! Thing 1’s preschool is coming to campus today to go sledding. I’m so excited, I wore my fleece. I’m going to surprise her and join in! Workday sledding! SQUEEEE!
This will take away from my blogging work that I do so diligently at my desk all day, but I wanted to point to a few things that are pretty interesting…
First, CCFC and Lisa at Corp Babysitter are all over Webkinz for adding ads to their website, on the sly. Bastards! We’ve discussed the need for ad free virtual worlds here before, so this is an important update. CCFC lets you email Ganz and tell them that they are scumbags. I highly suggest you do so - it takes 2 secs. Izzy, you’re the VW queen - comments, new ad free ideas to add?
Second, I’m intrigued by the person who seems to accuse Lisa of being a communist when she recommends an alternative to the Scholastic Book Fair (New readers? Scholastic = bad. Venting on this Here and Here.). Check out this little exchange in the comments from Corp. Babysitter. Read the complete Post.
