25 Trends that have Changed Culture

We thought USA Today did an interesting article about trends that have changed the world. We'll be talking about some of them this week on the show and we'd like your opinion. Which ones have affected your life the most? What ones do you think are causing the biggest problems or are bringing us the most hope as a society?? (Warning some adult content in the article). Trends include Super-Sizing, Longer Life Spans, Diversity, Makeovers, Mainstream Luxury and more!

Are "Forever" Stamps really FOREVER?!?!

George the skeptic is contemplating buying his lifetime supply of first class postage before the rate increase on May 14th. They say that these new stamps are good forever, but he doesn't believe it. See the whole article and give us your two cents worth, get it, two cents...LOL. How much money could we save by buying in advance? How many stamps do you need for a lifetime??? What about the value lost for the time value of money, spending it now to save it later?? I think we need an accountant to help us figure this out!!

First Radio and now Print??

Yup, from the minute they were born the twinlets have been on the radio (or at least crying in the background). Now, they've been featured in the local newspaper. Check out the article for yourself, it's about the local Mom's of Multiples club. BTW - we spell Hallelujah's nick name as "Halle," but she can't read yet, so we don't think she'll mind.

Pay for Elective Absences?!?!

A school in California is now sending the parents the bill when their kids miss classes for elective reasons. The School says that their kids take an average of 2.3 days per year off for reasons such as vacations or other non-illness reasons. They also say it costs them around $225,000 a year in missed funding. See the whole article.

2 questions here....do you think kids should get "personal" days off at school?? Or should they be in school when the doors are open?

2nd question....do you think the school has any business billing the parents for missed school days? Or is it just a good ploy to help make parents aware of the issues??

Let us know your thoughts.
