"Rob Ford told a Washington, D.C.-based radio show that Canadian pop star is only 19 years old and people who judge him should remember how they behaved at that age."
Hmmm...well, I'm almost 19, so, I'm in college, I conduct myself well, I've never been drunk or driven under the influence, and I've never been arrested, and none of my friends have acted as he has either...nor the vast majority of people my age.

I'm judging...

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.

I agree. You seem to have your head screwed on straight.

That being said, you aren't worth $108+ million. You don't have sycophantic parents on the payroll. You don't have people afraid to tell you "no". You don't have millions of screaming, adoring fans.

It's not just the Biebs - it's almost every huge Rock & Roll band/star that ever existed - the Beatles (both singularly and as a group); the Stones; Snoop Dog; Amy Winehouse; Willie Nelson ....
And let's not forget the abysmal track record of previous Disney stars - Britney, Lindsay, Miley, Amanda Bynes .... Heck, Dylan Sprouse (Zach? Cody? Who cares?) just tweeted pics of his junk.

I am not in any way defending any of these twerps, I'm just saying that we don't live their lives. We don't walk in their shoes. And frankly, I wouldn't trade places with a one of them.

True, but there are ones who manage to keep their heads screwed on straight. Selena Gomez, though she did date the Biebs. She dodged a bullet there. Hillary Duff. Taylor Swift. Raven Symone.

Dylan Sprouse was Zack. How I remember that is beyond me.

With Bieber, too much money+poor parenting=holy mess. I never liked him, even when he first came out. I loved the Jonas Brothers and Jesse McCartney (hey, they've kept out of trouble too!), but Bieber was different from the beginning. He always struck me as arrogant and fake. I was not the least surprised when he started down that rough path.

My lights are the coloured ones. The neighbour's are clear.

I always leave my lights up for months. They make me happy, and they don't hurt anyone.
Her's are always down the first week of January.

If this is a contest, it's on, Lady.

(P.S. We're actually very good friends. Have been neighbours for 12 years. And before that, we were neighbours as toddlers for 9 years.)

Most years our lights go up Thanksgiving weekend or the nicest day around then. My DH is notorious for pulling them down Dec 26th. It use to be New Years Day. Outside he doesn't want them to be frozen into the ground or buried in the snow.

I have these dudes out on my front patio up against a lit white picket fence. They are now mounted to square white plywood so they don't blow over, lesson learned. But that wood is now firmly attached to the grass.

You can barely see their faces peeking out from the snow at times. They ain't going any where. Til Christmas I kept sweeping them off, now I wish they'd just stay hidden, but NOOOOO! They keep themselves from suffocating. Our bushes and picket fence still have their lights on them. We are to get 4 snow storms in the next week. I fear they will be out there way past Valentines Day. Ahhhhhhhh.

FYI, I have my Valentines stuff up on my door and in my house. Outside is a time warp.

Ditto. I've built a bieber damn in my head to keep as much out as humanly possible.

And me it is like a train or car wreck, I've gotta look. I was the same way with the implosion of Jon and Kate plus 8, still waiting for Jon to do something drastic someday.

You actually clear your side walk! Gah! I always knew you were awesome.

NO ONE here does. But bet your tail feathers they'll put a chair out to hold their parking space after they've dug out their car! We call them "yinzers" :happy:

We have had so many snow storms about 25% of folk around here just stopped shoveling and I walk my pup, I wanta smack'em.

I thought chairs in a parking spot was just a Chicago thing. I always get a giggle on the train looking out the window and the weird junk Chicagoan's put out to reserve their spots.

A) Hubby does it.
B) It's a municipal by-law
C) He couldn't clear the patch of ice that formed where the sidewalk dips (stupid tree roots) because every flippin' store is sold out of rock salt and ice melter. He bought the last shovel at Lowe's earlier this week. Heck, Costco has been in full-blown summer mode for 3 weeks already.
D) I AM awesome. For other reasons.

My little Hamlet won't pas a municipal law (like other towns do) mandating shoveling. So not only am I weaving with my Pup in the street so are the kids going to fetch the school buses. We cover our old people but most who don't shovel are the real young owners. Twits. I'm to the end of my rock salt too. I will and have bought generic table salt and sprinkled where need be. One year I just filled the cart with about 50 cylinders of table salt.

In Mass., it's the law for most (if not all) cities and towns to clear the snow from sidewalks. I live north of Boston and for the most part, people comply within a reasonable time after a storm. Thought you would find it interesting that it's not just Chicago, Pittsburgh, or other cities, where people put out chairs, barrels, ironing boards (anything . . .) to mark their parking spot once they dig it out. The past few years in Boston, the mayor gave these people about 48 hours after a storm for their "display" and then he sent out the trash trucks to clean up all the chairs, etc. from the streets! I can understand why they do it though—shoveling out is a lot of work (especially in icy conditions), and parking spots in a congested city are at a premium to begin with. I'm fortunate to live in a more wide open, suburban area where I don't have to deal with any of that.
