Daddy Skills
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Saturday, August 18, 2012
Thought you might find this video of two rappers musing over one’s evolution into a dad amusing.
(Beware the word “damn” and one naughtier word implied, but not said.)
Doggy Dog World
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Friday, July 13, 2012
Here’s a funny article making a serious point about what we lose by being a people who don’t read.
I think the “Taco Bell’s Canon” must be apocryphal,
but the other mistakes chronicled here I absolutely believe.
many of the young men and women I encountered over the years are capable of serious thinking on social issues and international affairs. The Iraq War, in what one student called “nomad’s land,”... READ MORE
Taking Lincoln Literally
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Just me on Friday, July 06, 2012
At his second Inaugural in 1865, President Lincoln urged the Union to stay the course of the terrible Civil war, but not to descend into hatred:
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan – to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”
Now you can let Lincoln literally bind the nation’s wounds.
With a polite nod to Danielle, who knows Rebecca bait when she sees it.
Pat and Mary Save Their Marriage!
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Tuesday, June 12, 2012
I am really enjoying this new web series, Pat and Mary Save Their Marriage. In it, the funny and talented married couple Pat and Mary practice something they like to call “history therapy.” In “history therapy,” they look at famous couples’ life and love stories as inspiration for keeping their own love alive. The results are entertaining ... and surprisingly meaningful. Check it out for yourself and see.
Nunsense

Last week comedian and philanthropist Bill Cosby & his wife attended the dedication of a community center they funded as part of St. Frances Academy in Baltimore.
Cosby’s wife, Camille, attended a school run by the Oblate Sisters of Providence, and this was part of her “thank you” to the nuns who educated her. As you’ll see, Mr. Cosby has some fun at the nuns’ expense.
On a more serious note, isn’t... READ MORE
Home Birth on Letterman
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Just me on Friday, April 20, 2012
Thanks to friend of this blog Hallie Lord for this clip of the home birth movement’s recent foray into pop culture.
I’m afraid Dennis and I are unrepentant old-school types of the sort that thinks “natural” childbirth is where the father is in the waiting room with a cigar, and “eating clean” means observing the 3-second rule, but I can appreciate this nonetheless.

Who’s up for a round of good news? I’ll go first.
Yesterday I took an elderly neighbor grocery shopping with me, as I occasionally do since she can’t get around alone.
My outings with her are a bit comical because the lady is a little deaf, mostly blind from macular degeneration, and has the creaking limbs of advancing age.
None of that is laughable of course, but she’s also spunky as can be and... READ MORE
I Use NFP Buttons
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Friday, March 30, 2012
Here’s something fun.
Spunky pro-NFP blog buttons and badges.
Pictured is my favorite (well, honestly, it’s a tie between that and “We do it every night. Chart.)”
But there are loads of others, and a whole website coming.
On a totally other note: ERIN, the Style, Sex & Substance winner! Shoot me an email—the one you left is not working for me—I’ll leave my contact info in comments.
Age-Activated ADD
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Just me on Friday, March 16, 2012
The publish date indicates this video is eight years old.
It’s new to me, however. Or perhaps I’ve just forgotten it in all the jumble.
To me the humor is intensified by English subtitles for the English language.
Invite Someone to Church
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Sunday, March 04, 2012
Some of the parishes in my neck of the woods have long participated in a “Come Home for Easter” campaign.
Over the years it’s morphed into “The Light is on for You.”
Both programs remind us that sometimes all it takes to get people back to Church is to invite them.
Here’s a funny ad that makes the point.
