Thirsting for NYC

I so want to go to NYC so badly it is not even funny anymore. I have wanted to go for so long - even before Friends and S&TC turned it into a place where everybody wants to go. I thirst for culture, business, and blatant rudeness on the streets. So, I find a cheap vacation package there. But "cheap" means I still can't afford it right now. I am now wondering if I will every be lucky enough to just walk the streets aimlessly . . . . without being a hooker of course.

Addiction of the Mammory?

Ok - I like some other mothers I know breast-fed my child. However, when my daughter was six months old, I proudly celebrated "lactation liberation day". While I think this is a tender time in life, I just can't get around some mothers who are breast-feeding children that are old enough to eat steak! Looks like certain celebrities are not so eager to get their teeth wielding offspring off the titty as fast as I was!

From Fox News:
Salma Hayek may soon need rehabilitation for an addiction.
The actress, who gave birth to daughter Valentina in 2007, says she can't stop breastfeeding.

She said: "I'm like an alcoholic. It is like, I don't care if I cry, I don't care if I am fat, I am just going to do it for one more week, one more month, and then when I see how much good it is doing her and I can't stop."
The 42-year-old also said breastfeeding does not helps mothers shed post-pregnancy weight.
She told Style magazine: "The myth that says you lose all this weight when you breastfeed! That is so not true! It's like, please, will everyone stop telling me I look really well."
