I am no Moses....

New to Mommy Blogging? Here is the unwritten (until now) set of commandments followed by nearly all bloggers of the genre. Thou shall be brutally honest- even at the risk of having to look like a bad mom. This is our purpose to help others feel like it is totally and completely normal to eat a Cheerio off the ground because it was easier than going to throw it away. Thou shall not post photos of girlfriends without their prior approval or veto-or at least total Photoshop rights. Thou shall not expect the husband to actually read the blog. And if he does stumble upon it occasionally-do not be surprised if he is not amused by the rant post discussing his snoring problem. Thou shall post often. Or make an attempt to post regularly least the readers move on to some other Mommy blogger who is funnier and perhaps more insightful (we are an insecure group) Thou shall link to other Mommy Bloggers to help further the camaraderie of the Momfia. Thou shall respect the tagging/challenge/photo dare by a fellow blogger. Least you lose your credibility and standing in said Momfia and/or M.O.B. Thou shall not write anything, about anybody if they would not say it to their face. Even if you are talking about someone famous- trust me on this you really have no idea who reads your blog, and no idea who you will meet later in life. Thou shall not embarrass our children- well not really really embarrass them. After all their teachers/friends/neighbors might be reading, and the way we bloggers advertise our sites constantly- they probably are. Thou shall not depend on comments to make or break your day. Lots of people read- and will never, ever post a comment. These are the same people who are afraid to use their credit card on line I believe. The Internet is scary-even I am afraid sometimes. Thou shall be brief. Try to fit posts into a paragraph…nobody wants to read a novel every time they get to a blog site. Of course this post is a perfect example of TOO LONG. Provided for you as an visual sample. No need to thank me. I am a giver. I am sure I have missed some- perhaps you can let me know what other commandments you follow…..

I am glad you put not to embarrass your children. It should be husband too. I get uncomfortable when bloggers throw their family under the bus for the purpose of a post.
Good job.

AMEN!

Now, who exactly do I need to pray to for forgiveness about ALWAYS breaking the last commandment? Because I am so so so bad with that one.

What?!? We're not supposed to expect our husbands to read our blogs?!?!?

That's one of the tougher commandments, but I'll try.

I just wandered over here from . . .somewhere. . ."Rocks in my dryer" maybe?

My oldest daughter is named Marcy (actually Marcella). I always love finding other Marcys.

Viagra is the world renowned medicine for erectile dysfunction and most men have forgotten they ever had a problem with erections after its use. Take it on empty stomach and it will work in 30 minutes. Erections can be achieved on stimulation.

As I can brood over there are a portion of people who recognize about ED and its treatment. So can you suit domestics me and publish to me what is recovered!!!

While the life-expectancy gap between men and women has decreased, it's no secret that men still need to pay more attention to their bodies. Several things work against men. They tend to smoke and drink more than women. They don't seek medical help as often as women. Some men define themselves by their work, which can add to stress.
There are also health conditions that only affect men, such as prostate cancer and low testosterone. Many of the major health risks that men face – like colon cancer or heart disease - can be prevented and treated with early diagnosis. Screening tests can find diseases early, when they are easier to treat. It's important to have regular checkups and screenings.

Lilly ICOS LLC announced that the European Commission has adopted changes to the European label for [url=http://buycialisweb.blogspot.com/]buy Cialis[/url] (tadalafil), Lilly ICOS' viva voce PDE5 inhibitor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The advanced label indicates that [url=http://buycialisweb.blogspot.com/]buy Cialis[/url] may be in operation seeking up to 36 hours after taking the plaquette, which makes it customarily in keeping with product labelling throughout the area, including in the United States, where buy Cialis was approved.
