He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.

Re: Starbucks fans---12 days of sharing
Thanks---I'm trying to find the right picture, but I love that one. H was just staring at him in awe and L was just pissed. What a touching father/son moment, eh? :-P

lol - yes it is very sweet! I'm sure they'll be a lot more of those to come. We will forever be in awe and our LO's will have different ideas!
Remember that year where they got people to pledge to buy a certain number of cups?
Please don't do that. Seriously. The meds cost 25c a pill, you have to take 4 a day, for 60 days. The year they did that I did the math on the number of cups pledged at that time at 5c per cup with a typical cost of 3.95 a cup. You know what that worked out to? A full round of medication for about 53 people. That's it. Considering that most people pledged to buy 4+ cups...well....you know what? Donate $10 directly to Global Fund, then buy a cup to congratulate yourself. Works out to about the same, and it helps a heckuva lot more people.
Just sayin'
The marketing is brilliant, but it's a scam. Much as I love Starbucks and appreciate that they at least *try*
Um....it's not a pledge to buy anything, it's a text-deal-a-day signup. But do you need a ladder to find your way back down from your soapbox?

It was either 2 or 3 years ago that they had this elaborate website for it where people would "pledge" to buy cups. I don't think they've done it since, or at least not that I know of.
Sorry if math makes your brain hurt :P getting ripped off hurts mine.
lol, relax. twas not a personal affront.
Completely unrelated comments make my head hurt.
"Hey--here's a great starbucks deal opportunity!"
"Don't pledge to buy x number of cups from starbucks, go donate money instead!"
Now, had I said "Hey--here's a great starbucks deal opportunity---does anyone have an opinion on them as a charitable corporation?" or if you'd have said "I've not been a fan of starbucks since....."
It's not a personal affront, it's just a confusing random lecture from you followed by a thinly veiled insult about my math skills.
