So I have a question: anyone concerned about vaping a butter flavor. I really really want a butter mint - but don;t know if there is any other butter flaovring being used than the diactyl whatever it was that is suspected of causing lung cancer. Of couse hubs thinks it's from inhaling the residue nut the vapor per se, but...thoughts?

I shy away from oils and butter. Doesn't mean I don't vape them; I just don't make them an every day all day vaping experience. Which is a shame because the clove I got from Vermonster is darn good. I also have a buttermint/cinn from VB that is pretty good.

People that get butter lung inhale the fumes all day as part of their job. They are really exposed to it. I can't think the small amount we vapor can be all that bad - especially compared to the cigs we used to smoke.

Well, if it's any consolation, my dachshund loves to lock and unlock car doors. She reminded me of that 'skill' yesterday while at the post office.

I'm standing near the car and hit my unlock door button. She hears it and pounces the lock door button. Hit it again, she does it again. Yeah, we kept at this for a minute or so. She's worse than my husband sometimes. He loves to pull that number too.

So are they quick to ban?


I'm on a local mommy site. You have to threaten to kill someone's kid before you get banned.

No, it is more of a joke. I do it in tribute to Laby B (Chelle) who has used that line a few times. The admins here are great. You accidently break a rule you usually get a warning. (Unless what you are doing is really worthy of a ban.)

I've browsed the site - decided that the "Outside" was a little too political for me and did pick up on pretty heated discussion on VG, but other than that I haven't seen anything ugly. Well, a couple of reviews, but those go without saying imo.

I do not care if my opinion is about to anger someone. I need to get this off my chest and vent it out before either I explode or drive my husband crazy.

I've been reading a few articles the past half hour about an uprising in what they are now calling, "Forgotten Baby Syndrome". It's just what it sounds. Parents forget their child in the car, and they die of hyperthermia. The excuse that has been given, is that in the 1990's child seats were usually placed in the front passenger seat. But entering the 21st century, car safety experts declared that the Air Bag was too dangerous for children and that they should be moved to the back seat. Furthermore, it was safest for them to be facing the rear. So now the children are in the back seat, facing opposite you as you are driving.

This should NEVER become any sort of issue. But it has. Because apparently, out of site out of mind? You would be shocked to learn how many parents simply forget that their child is in the back seat. This is atrocious, disgusting, and 90% of these articles are on the DEFENSIVE side for the parents!

THERE IS NO EXCUSE. NEVER EVER WILL THERE BE AN EXCUSE. You forget you left your child in the car for so long that he/she actually DIES of heat stroke!? No. There is no excuse. You are a bad person and a bad parent, and it's damn right you should feel that way. One article speaks of a man who left his toddler son in the heat of the parking lot, strapped into his car seat for nine hours.

I can almost forgive 20 minutes. Maybe even an hour. But nine hours!?!?! You would remember, at some point during the day, surely. If you are any sort of parent at all.. But yet:


Have we lost so much hope for our society that we are just accepting this as something that is just going to happen? Oh well? Are you KIDDING ME!?!?!

I cannot comprehend this. I have had my days, where I get busy, sidetracked, overwhelmed. But I have NEVER just forgotten about my Son. EVER. And I am very absent minded.

One journalist suggested leaving your cell phone in the back seat with your baby. So you didn't forget your baby.
I agree... it's crazy that people are so busy and/or absent minded that they forget that they haven't dropped their baby off at the daycare. I feel pretty confident that could NEVER happen to me... but then again, I have NEVER taken my kids to a daycare. (you want me to hand over BOTH my kid AND my money??? two things I happen to care a lot about and don't just hand over to strangers...) My mommy alert goes off if it's just "too quiet" in the room the kids are... LOL!

But I really do wonder if the rear facing car seats don't contribute to this problem. Don't get me wrong! I'd never accept anything as an excuse for leaving your child to cook to death in a car... but we idiot proof everything else! Seems like to me we need to re-consider the rear facing car-seats and figure in deaths due to the baby being "out-of-sight-out-of-mind"... just my :2c:

My husband is right. I need to figure out a way to get active in Child Abuse issues without getting a degree in Child Psychology. I had a very hard childhood and I am set off emotionally very easy when I see child abuse happening. Surely there has to be something I can do? Some way I can volunteer and make a difference in some childs life? Even if it's only a few. I need to be proactive about this, for my own health and the health of other children, too. I need to do something. But my niche in life is Web Development. So I need to find some way that I can volunteer without having child care credentials. What can I do? Any ideas?
