Seeing things on TV that I am thinking what?

Posted: Jan 8, 2013

I saw 3 different things this morning that I am puzzled. First, people having baby ultrasounds in their homes inviting all the family for an ultrasound party to let them be the first (along with the couple) to view the baby. People doing the ultrasounds do tell the gender of the baby and that again is not 100% sure each time, even for people who routinely do ultrasound in medical settings. The people doing not medical, say no diagnosis of any kind made but as we all know not every pregnancy is a good one. What if there is a blighted pregnancy and empty sac? With pregnancy becoming more of a show you what I look like, I think the next big thing will be an invite to the conception party. Next I saw Brooke Burke (Dancing with the Stars) cohost and she was talking about her thyroid cancer diagnosis and how she handled it. She informed not only her husband but 4 children and 1 child was 4 years old. He then asked if his father was going to get it also. Possibly the children felt she was going to die. I am not for telling kids every single phase of your adult life. Children sure grow up extremely fast, why have them grow up and face cancer say at the age of 4? And finally. Paula Deen. She is now telling us how to eat to lose weight. I am glad she has lost weight but I do not like fibbers and she said "it is all about proportions. I have always preached moderation for years." Sorry folks but I remember throw on all that butter for taste theme that was preached on the show and now? For some reason she would not be the first person I would go to (or believe) to have weight control. Now off my soap box. ;
