I’ve been under the weather the last few days, but even feeling poorly couldn’t prepare me for what might be the worst Halloween outfit ever, worn by none other than Lady Gaga.

At NJ.com, some butchers had advice if you want to wear a meat outfit:

Although I haven’t had any children (that I know of), I’m fascinated by the experiences of families as they grow and expand.

Take, for example, the story below dealing with three kids, each one born on an interesting date:

>>GRAND RAPIDS — For Chad and Barbie Soper, it’s all in the numbers.

So, officially the recession is over, I hear. Then why are we still having so many money troubles?

This past weekend was the New York Comic-Con. Although I didn’t get to attend (for monetary reasons), some interesting financial news came out at the start of the con. DC Comics said they were going to cut back the cover prices on the ongoing titles starting in January. In less than an hour, Marvel Comics basically did the same.
