Breast Feeding and Candy…The Same?
Apparently the people at Hershey’s chocolate do not want people to think that the famous candy Milk Duds is anything like breast feeding a child. The famous chocolate manufacturer has filed a lawsuit against the clothing line for nursing mothers called “Milkdudz” &Keywords=Chocolate&BANNER_STYLE=1&WIDTH=120&HEIGHT=150&BGCOLOR=F3F4EF&FOOTER_COLOR=F3F4EF&FOOTER_START_COLOR=F3F4EF&FOOTER_GRADIENT=0&TF_C=8C0D0A&DF_C=000040&DMF_C=000040&FF_C=000040)
I think that the manufacturer of the chocolate is missing a big opportunity here that could be great publicity for both companies. How about a free box of Milk Duds for mommy when she buys a nursing shirt? Is it just me or does this sound somewhat litigious given the blatant similarities of breast feeding and candy? I think nursing mothers everywhere should boycott any of the hershey’s products and perhaps go with Godiva or another brand. They might find that they picked on the wrong group of people. Never pick a fight with a nursing mother!
I say go over to their website and tell Kiersten Wall, and Stephanie Schulte that you are behind them 100%! I think I might offer to make them a blog so we can keep up on their fight against Hershey! Someone get Ghiradelli on the line, I think they might want to sponsor these two!
Sleeping Like The Dead
It seems that I have come across the perfect combination of medication to allow for a deep sleep. Since spending most of my day Saturday in the emergency room with the dreaded chest wall inflammation, i.e. heart attack feeling, I was giving a muscle relaxer that is supposed to keep the spasm down to a minimum.

I was also given a medication for the pain the inflammation causes. When taken together in equal doses, sleep is only minutes away. Not the restless sleep I get normally, but the dead to the world call the coroner kind of sleep. Perhaps on this spooky Halloween night I can be the dead guy in th coffin. I can play the part quite well given the proper medicines. Now if I can find something that can control the snoring, I might even be convincing.

These Stones Gather No Moss
I thought this morning at 2:00 a.m. I was going to have an alien pop out of my chest. I wasn;t sure what the problem was, but I had an ambulance ride in May for the same pain. I made it to morning, and started my self diagnosis of my symptoms. My diagnosis? I’m pretty sure it was a gall bladder attack or gall stones. The real doctor set me straight. The same old rib problem with the “chest wall inflammation”. The plan for now? Pain meds and rest. I am so lucky, good drugs and rest is in my future.

Prom Kings Unite!
For some reason I seem to be getting a lot of unusual traffic from Google regarding Harry Dunne and Lloyd CHristmas in Dumb and Dumber. I realized after I saw this a few times what everyone was looking for….no, not
Genuine Girl and Genuine Boy, but they were looking for Halloween Costumes! I think I might have the tux on the left in yellow from my days of being Prom King.
What are you going to dress as for Halloween?
The Blue Lagoon Again?
Yes “Blue” as in the sense of depression. Apparently now that she has recovered from her bout with post partum depression, Brooke Shields has once again gotten knocked up…er….has a bun in the oven according to
Celebrity Baby.
She is the hero of many mothers due to her book on the post partum problem she endured, and became the champion of the issue when Tom Cruise decided that he thought she was a fool. Well Tom, I guess we’ll see if Katie Holmes is a candidate for PPD. If so, you will have some serious explaining to do! Good luck to my boyhood crush on her latest pregnancy. Now I need to run out and rent Blue Lagoon again!!!

Salt and Pepper
“I need to wash that gray right out of my hair”. There is such an old feeling when your hair starts to turn gray or is it grey? I can never remember, but one is a vodka the other a color. While shaving this morning, I noticed a little more salt added to my pepper.
I hope this means I’m entering my “distinguished” phase. Maybe I’ll enter into that mid-life crisis just on time for the new 2006 sports car models to come out! A two seater! *sigh* I have to have four car seats. So much for that Corvette convertible. No wonder my hair is turning gray!
Maybe I should go platinum blonde!

The Kid Is Like A Llama
Demon Llama! Sorry Emperor’s New Groove is always running through my head at one time or another. It comes with not being able to watch grown up movies. I chewed tobacco for 16 years, and have been tobacco free for a little over 10 years. I could drive down the road and spit into a pop can at 65 miles per hour never letting go of the wheel or taking my eyes off the road. I now wonder if this is a genetic trait that is acquired or taught.
My son is a spitter. I mean he is actually good at it. Problem is, he is only a one year old. I’m not sure how he learned to spit but for some reason he thinks it is okay to spit in the house, at the dinner table and just about anywhere else it is inappropriate. Is there a gene that makes kids good or bad at this? I remember trying to teach a friend how to spit when I was little. I was no expert at the time. We did have a cool kid, Mike, in our neighborhood. He was the king of spitting. He could hock a loogie into the air like 20 feet and catch it in his mouth again. The other kid we were trying to teach couldn’t get his lips wet without it landing on his shirt.
I’m not sure I want my child to be the cool kid spitter in the neighborhood so I hope he is only going through a phase. I just wish I was as cool as him!

Late Night Starring Genuine
Well if the last post about headaches was too depressing for the normal hijinx that happen here at Genuine, I’ll send you over to
The Parental Olympian. He blogs about a
short conversation he and I had on IM last night. I wonder why people look at me funny in the grocery store? This may be a revealing reason.
