I've certainly waited outside a business before opening time, felt frustrated, but understood that I was running early...but this is a new one. I wonder if there's more to the story...
Didn't Gerber, or some company initially start these contests as a marketing tactic?I have no opposition to babies. They are universally cute, and, like brides, there are no ugly ones.
Matt,
Congrats on the season. You guys were better this year. It was tough to watch Jimmy catch the clinching out, but he got a raw deal here towards the end. I'm happy for him. Though I can't bring myself to root for the Cubs now, if they make it to the Series, I'm an NL guy and will support an NL team -- unless the Cubbies are playing the White Sox.
[Mess] with the King of Beers and you get the horns. They don't take this stuff kindly at the world headquarters in St. Lou... , err scratch that -- Belgium. Somehow I think a renegotiated price will fix this. The new owners are just playing hardball.

I, for one, happen to like it. I would consider living in it if it were in a nicer neighborhood than Bucktown.
It's actually pretty cool, but seems very out of place. I think the house wood be more appropriate on some wooded property somewhere.

The writer has no sense of design, and even more important: no sense of what a home is.
The layout and interior innovation of a home is what's important. These images are of buildings that were thoughtfully designed and I hope their interiors follow suit.
We all should remember what a home really is. It is not the aesthetic, but the function.
Behind the times is the word on anyone who isn't comfortable with change. We have all dwelled to long in homes based on the ideas and needs of the past. It is time for change, and these are only small examples.
I mean not to say they are all perfect and that modern architecture is our only means of innovation. But it is a symbol of our next steps to simplify our lives and begin to realize the American Dream shouldn't be about a giant facade, an expensive automobile, and a salary that allows adequate financing.
Our lives should be of leisure, playfulness, and bettering our future. So, don't be the bigot that calls Obama a non-patriot. And don't be the shallow loud mouth who combats change by calling it ugly.
