As I like to keep abreast with world events, I check cnn.com every day. I
figure if it isn't important enough to make it onto CNN, it isn't likely to
affect me. And why would I care about stuff which doesn't affect me
directly?
was made entirely tongue in cheek. I have feared that perhaps my esteemed relatives may have taken it seriously and found me to be self-centered and small minded. Which I am not, usually. My hippie at heart mother would just die if I was determined to be non-worldly and uncaring to the needy masses.
As a side note, CNN is now warning that vitamins may lead to premature death. So I am just going to eat Skittles and Diet Coke until they come up with a pill that will leech all of these dangerous vitamins from my system.

I may be your hippie-at-heart mother, but I've pretty much stopped caring about what's going on in the world, so I was hoping your comment wasn't tongue-in-cheek. But I knew it was.
I don't take vitamins, so here's to a long life with DietCoke and Skittles. Choose your poison!
Non-carers!
tell me more about this "CNN".
CNN tells you all you need to know about the world around us, from updates on Britney (vitally important) to the latest imminent dangers to your health, they are there to tell you about it. With pictures 'n everything!
I am a carer - I totally got choked up about that baby zebra that fell off a truck and was hit by a car and wounded. Oh yea, and starving people. That sucks too.
Remember that we are exposed to more information in one weekday edition of the New York Times than a person in the 17th century was exposed to in a lifetime. Agggh!!!
The latest news:
-A boy blew up 213 balloons in one hour. With his nose! Yes, folks, there is a video. Now there's news.
-Milk is good for you.
Thank you! Now I can rest knowing that even with no TV, I will be kept abreast of the really important stuff! And here's to hot chocolate! :)
Following Beth's example, I checked cnn.com today and learned many wondrous things: YouTube may be an effective medium in divorcing your spouse; if you have a small hippocampus in your brain, you'd better start to worry before you forget to worry, and someone with more money than brains is building a mansion for a single family in Greenwich, Conn. and installing 26 toilets. Wow. Oh, and the Pope wants Catholics to help sexual abuse victims but has not announced any further plans to prevent more abuse by clergy. Catholics have their work cut out for them.
