I can't decide which one is the dumbest in this triangle

Woman "Discovers" Her Husband's Other Marriage on Facebook

Which one, which one ... 

Is it the first wife who took this guy back after she'd found evidence of his wedding plans with wife #2 on Facebook because he said he loved her and wanted to reconcile and that he wouldn't go through with the other wedding? 

Or, is it wife #2 who knows this guy had another wife and child that he didn't mind cheating on and who was dumb enough to post her photos on Facebook, and who apparently believes that she is so special that he would never do the same to her? 

Or, is it the scumbag husband who could possibly face criminal charges for fraud for filing taxes, completing insurance claims, etc., under the guise of a married man? [I can only hope.]

Maybe the kids should go live with someone outside of this group completely, someone who is not so stupid.

Grandma and Aunt Andy do that voodoo that they do so well

We try to do right by our kids, get them to eat the right things, get some exercise, stay healthy, and this is what happens when they spend a week with Grandma and Aunt Andy. 
Yep, three doughnuts for breakfast from Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, Oregon: one Cap'n Crunch donut, one mango filled, and one Butterfinger doughnut. If that isn't bad enough, after Voodoo Doughnuts, they got brown sugar cinnamon white chocolate mochas.

Give me an awkward pause any day, PLEASE!

I'm not impressed with Jay Leno and I thought Conan O'Brien was funny, sure, but I couldn't concern myself too much with the late night wars when my favorite late night host was conducting business as usual. Maybe my humor is a little low brow — okay, for CERTAIN it is a little low brow — but I have had more tear inducing laughter in the past year of Craig Ferguson than I ever had watching Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien combined.

I'm a couple of weeks behind on my recorded Craigs, so I haven't even seen the new Robot Skeleton sidekick yet. What I did just see, though, was John Cusack's awkward pause. I have never laughed so hard at people doing nothing than I do with Craig Ferguson's awkward pauses. This one was especially funny because John Cusack wanted to do it in the middle of the interview [gasp], not at the end. Kind of threw Craig for a loop there. I may have to rank this awkward pause right up there in the top four, along with those of Kristen Bell, Simon Helberg, and Adhir Kalyan. The shoe-tying bit was good with Cusack, but Simon Helberg did the almost-leg-cross followed by the awkward smile. Then again, the entire interview with Adhir Kalyan was hilarious, including the awkward pause at the end. Yeah, good stuff.

Take that, Apple login items! I've got you now!

For at least two years now, I have been screwing around with my disappearing login items. One day everything would open just fine when my computer booted up, and the next day, they were gone, just disappeared. I started keeping a list of my login items so that I could add them again whenever this happened, which seemed to be several times a month — often enough to make me NUTS! It was a time-consuming pain to keep re-adding the login items.

I tried creating login folders with Tiger Cache Cleaner, then Leopard Cache Cleaner, and MacPilot. I was even creating alarms in AlarmClockPro to open these files after my computer started up every morning. That worked, too, until the login item to start the starters would also disappear!

I Googled the problem and found people having the same issue, but no solutions. I hoped when I upgraded to Snow Leopard the problem would be solved. Nope. Still happening. Not major, in the grand scope of things, but hugely annoying.

Googling the subject again (and again), I found where several people suggested replacing the com.apple.loginitems.plist file. It didn't make a difference, BECAUSE [drum roll, please] it was the wrong file! It turns out it's the loginwindow.plist file, also in the Preferences folder. Once I got my login items the way I wanted them, I duplicated the file and started keeping a copy on my desktop. When I don't see all my icons in the menu bar that should be there, I replace the file in the Preferences folder with a copy of my "good" loginwindow.plist file, reboot, and all is right with the world.
