Folks who say they will help you with something but fail to return your phone calls.

Other drivers in "parking lots" who talk and their cell phones and end up hitting your parked car! I couldn't believe it, looking at a young teenager who smacked another guys car while she was driving up and down the parking lot and talking on the cell phone. What's wrong with people, are they that crazy to think they can drive & use the phone? I'm just glad that I was away from her and was missed.

THe idiot lawmakers here in FLorida won't even consider banning drivers from talking while driving. They say it's impossible to control. Uh huh.

I was in the children's department at a very respectable store looking at little girls undies (NOT preteen/) They had a pair of panties that had a picture of popcorn with the word spelled out underneath and the word "SHOW TIME" on the back. I asked the sales lady why do they have such suggestive underwear for children and she said it sells, but it also made her sick. Of course I didn't purchase any of those. I bought the ones with ruffles. I am so disturbed by this acceptance of making our little girls sexual objects before their out of kindergarden. Why isn't preserving the innocence of our children a priority? What's next thongs for toddlers??? I understand if ur in business ur in it to make money, but it should not be at the expense of every moral value. Well that is my vent for today.

A very good vent, SQ .... I am disgusted by all this sexual-oriented marketing towards our children AND teenagers. I've seen the Playboy bunny on children's clothing and that is just so wrong!

Hmm, very true. Protest! But no seriously, I love children and it saddens me that we would design, make, and buy these kind of clothes for them when we protest negative images.

^^^^ The only real thing that will make a difference is to write the corporate office of the store and tell them you’re disappointed in their retailing of this product. Also it can’t hurt to tell that store manager to take the item off the shelves or displays or you and others will be shopping elsewhere.

A strong voice always helps!

Sexualizing little girls is just inexusable. Toddlers and tiaras makes me sick too.
