Ok, here is something new, cause I am missing my Pop Culture and Politics rants but I know I’ve got a lot of new readers in the last month or so…so…I’ll break you in gently…LOL…
With that disclaimer or sorts, let’s begin again…
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEADLINES:
Great.
So basically we are, once agin being encouraged to be to be single, child-free, self centered, narcissistic, recycling robotrons.
We can surf the web anywhere on the earth – alone, we can come home and watch hours of mind numbing, spirit crushing television – alone, we can sit on Facebook and pretend to have real conversations with our friends and family – alone – and now we can drive, with no other choice but to be alone.
I’m hoping I don’t have to unpack this, I am hoping we can all see the signs here and there… that there is little, if nil value placed on the traditional family these days. Call me paranoid but I see things like this stupid car and it’s the first thing that comes to my mind.
I’m saving money for a big ole’ Suburban for me and my expanding flock of “chickens”
…I suppose that puts me one level up from Beelzubub.

it does seem that society wishes to put everything in a “single” neat tidy box. hold on to your traditions, and though I try, it seems I’m losing lots of family members to this new trend of “being alone” sad…… and give me a station wagon with the back seat facing the rear any day of the week…wish they would come out with a new version of the family wagon…we are overdue!
I’m with you!! It’s crazy, what is this world coming to? I’m gonna keep driving my SUV till the wheels fall off!

you are so funny –
that car looks mighty unsafe all around
AMEN!
Very true and good for you for posting this.
So many rises in nervous disorders-anxiety, depression and the like can only be due to our solitary, selfish lifestyles that society encourages with their “technological” advances, such as this peanut looking solo car.
Oh, and thanks for entering my contest 🙂
What I noticed was that in that kind of technological “progress” nobody ever smiles. We have to look “tough” and “cool”. And, indeed, alone…
This is a car??? What the??? I didn’t think it could get smaller than a smart car. There is one on the street where I live and every time I pass it, it looks so tiny. This is really too small to be safe. And you’re right, who else is going to fit in there? Where do the groceries go? Spare tire? Gas tank (oh wait is it electric).
I was looking at your blog with my phone a few days ago and it would not leave comments…Salut, merci pour ta visite! Your kids are so beautiful! WOW. I love your house…Great job in the decorating. Come say hi when you can. Great blog!

… let’s all do the stupid dance … I loathe them cars … what does A have to say about them … I’ll bet it’s profound
drive yur’ big ole’ suburban honey …
i’m worse than that. i tell my kids
if things ever get bad, to meet us
in our mountain home.
they’re all grown up now.
my husband thinks i’m crazy, and
he’s probably right . . . 🙂
Ha! My coffee cup is bigger than that!
Loved your post .. I have been wondering the same thing! Was technology not meant to enable us to spend more time with family? Since moving to the country – we find that we are more intune with nature and whats really important. I dislike (ok .. I really want to say HATE) when people say I’ve been so busy sorry I haven’t had time to visit — I’m left wondering what have they been doing in the last 2 years that they haven’t found time to visit.. oh did I mention they live from 30 minutes to 1 hour from us.
oh… I’m working on my Easter order for your fabulous Macarons!!!
AMEN! You’re not alone; you’ve plenty of, like-minded, company.
As to the car…this fits in HOW with the totally stupid obamapelosireidcare plan? Seems to me this care is a halo…and I don’t mean the angelic kind…waiting to happen.
I don’t get time to post comments often but I love reading your blog in my feed reader. I loved your “rant” on this one 🙂 I, too, get upset when there seems to be no room for family anymore!!!
Have a blessed Sunday!
Sallie
ok….I love you! 😉 enough said…you go girl w/ that big ole’ suburban & you fill it up with little gifts from heaven! I’ll fill up my big ole’ expedition w/ mine 🙂
We need more women in the world like you….
