Next year Barbie is turning 50.  Yes, she's a Baby Boomer!  While her waist has increased in size over the years and her clothes have changed with the times, Barbie has endured about as many ups and downs as the rest of us. Denounced as a symbol of decadence of the perverted West, with her revealing clothes and shameful postures, accessories and tools by Saudi Arabia's religious police, Barbie became an outlaw in that part of the World in 2003.   That same year, the BLO (Barbie Liberation Organization) modified Barbie dolls by giving them the voice box of a talking GI Joe doll and secretly returned the dolls to the shelves of toy stores.  Parents and children were surprised when they purchased Barbie dolls that uttered phrases such as "Eat lead, Cobra!" and "Vengeance is mine", while th... 10/10/2008

  Hall of Shame: As I'm working on my last load of laundry for the evening, I'm lamenting about how much I hate my dryer.  I bought it as a set because it was pretty,  it had a lot of buttons and drying options, a steel drum and most importantly: it was available in stainless steel.  The front loading washer and dryer set me back about $ 2,600 a couple of years ago and the dryer has been giving me headaches since that fateful day when I first plugged it in.  This is actually the second dryer; the manufacturer sent it to me after being unable to fix it, following about a half dozen attempts to do so.   If I can save someone else the aggravation here it is:  the offender is an LG dryer.  Don't get one!  The washer is good, the dryer is horrible!   Hall of Fame: I love my dishwasher!  It's... 08/11/2008
