I don’t personally have a strong opinion on t-shirts with slogans or messages of any kind. I think there’s plenty of aweful ones out there and also lots of witty ones.
Sometimes though, these very t-shirts can get you into trouble: Lapriss Gilbert was forced to leave a Social Security office because she was wearing a “Lesbian.com” shirt.
As she headed for a line to pick up a Social Security card for her son, Gilbert was stopped by a guard who said her T-shirt, naming an educational and resource Web site for gay women, was offensive.
She said the guard, who works for a private company hired by the Department of Homeland Security, demanded that she leave the building or face arrest.
Offensive? I really don’t think so. Well I guess this would be the kind of reaction you’d expect if you’d try to enter a church whose strong believes condemn homosexuality but a social security office? Whatever happened to tolerance?

One of the most useful sites online are directories. Seriously. I find myself browsing them all the time and think they are indeed a great time saver. Finding professionals for example is dead easy with one particular site, Clicksmart.com. Whether you’re searching for a florist in your neighbourhood or a charlotte realtor, the site can locate certified experts who are pre-screened. This seems to be a very helpful site and also features a comprehensive search option which allows you to search throughout the US or simply enter a ZIP code.
There’s certain services you have to outsource and this is a good place to find the right person for the job.

Can a person be “too fat” for jail? Apparently they can! This article had me quite shocked:
A woman is accused of killing her two-year-old nephew but prosecutors in Texas do not yet know how to get her to jail and court - because she weighs nearly half a ton.
She claimed it was an accident but a jury has already agreed that she should face charges of murder.
I can’t recall ever hearing about anyone possibly avoiding jail because of their size. Obviously she can’t go free so I wonder what the state will do with her. Fat camp???
