I don't own many pairs, but I'm sure not down to two. I'm bummed you may not be able to participate - I was looking forward to hearing what you'd have to say. I hope you're going somewhere fun!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Anno - I <I>did</I> cover a lot, without meaning to.<BR/><BR/>April, you deserve every word!<BR/><BR/>Boy, NYC, you just make Italy sound better and better. ;-) And I loved your post - it was so on target.<BR/><BR/>Jane, me, too! Me, too! I'm really excited about that particular blog blast.<BR/><BR/>CG, I LOVE the buttons! And I'm right with you - I thought of Everybody Poops and books of that ilk - important books - and this one... really got under my skin. And SMID did such a wonderful post on it, too.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-59424520733920564052008-06-04T14:49:00.000-04:002008-06-04T14:49:00.000-04:00Mom's TinFoil Hat posted about that book a few mon...Mom's TinFoil Hat posted about that book a few months back and it truly pissed me off. The idea that plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons has become so common place that kids need a book in the vein of <I>Everyone Poops</I> to learn about it turns my stomach. Beauty does not end with flawless skin, perky breasts and the perfect ass. Beauty is everywhere, in everyone of any age.<BR/><BR/>And way to pimp Education day. Glad you like the buttons. :)CableGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392330449567457998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-84099402056716735222008-06-04T08:01:00.000-04:002008-06-04T08:01:00.000-04:00Yay.
