I think the suspect looks pretty harmless, don’t you?

Every year, hundreds of words are dropped from the dictionary in order to make room for newer, trendier words. What happens to the words that don’t make the cut? They get adopted at www.savethewords.org!

My word is starrify, a verb meaning to decorate with stars. A word that should have never been booted from the dictionary, in my opinion. But I tend to starrify most everything, so I might be bias.

Anyone can adopt a word, but once you do, you become responsible for using the word as much as possible to integrate it back into popular usage and hopefully, back into the dictionary!

What word did you adopt?

When I saw Ted Murphy’s custom Twitter t-shirt, I knew I had to have one since I’m a shameless self-promoter. I enlisted the help of Stacy, who changed up the color scheme to match my site and ordered from Uber Prints, which was super easy and reasonably priced.

Remember to follow me and Ted Murphy! And order your own t-shirts!

The story of the mom that was expecting sextuplets but delivered octuplets is getting more and more bizarre.

It’s now being reported that the mother has six other children, four boys and two girls, including a set of twins. A family acquaintance appeared on the CBS Early Show and stated that the mother is young and living with her parents. There doesn’t seem to be a husband or boyfriend in the picture.

There are so many things that I personally think are wrong with this story, beginning with why, when she already has six children which she obviously can’t support since she’s living with her parents, would she choose to undergo fertility treatment? And why does our medical system allow such unnecessary procedures? And why is this birth considered a medical miracle when it’s really a medical disaster waiting to happen?

The whole situation just disturbs me.

UPDATE: This mother is a hot mess. A neighbor is saying that all 14 babies are from a sperm donor!
