This should be under Life's Lessons... but I find it more of a fail... on parenting.

I'm not an idiot, and realize the price of things have gone up, but something like the tooth fairy cost doesn't need to rise. This falls squarely on the parent who are trying compensate.

Tooth Fairy taking bite out of parents' pocketbooks

Quote
As most Americans set about tightening their belts, the tooth fairy's magic shows no signs of waning.

Indeed, this fantasy figure's generosity is skyrocketing, according to a new survey, which revealed that some American children are pocketing up to $50 per tooth.

The amount left by the tooth fairy has shot up in recent years, and 2013 is no exception, research by Visa showed on Friday. Its annual tooth survey revealed that children found an average of $3.70 under their pillows in 2013 – a whopping 23 percent increase on 2012, when only $3.00 was left.

Based on this rate of return, a child would net an impressive $74 for a full set of 20 baby teeth.

But some youngsters are set to make even more, with 6 percent of American children receiving $20 or more from the tooth fairy – and 2 percent finding a crisp $50 bill tucked under their pillow.

The tradition, which has its origins in the 1800s, sees children place their lost baby teeth under their pillow for the "tooth fairy," who leaves some loose change in exchange for the tooth. But the days of finding a quarter are long gone, and somewhat surprisingly, only a third of those surveyed reported that the tooth fairy left a dollar per tooth.

The tooth fairy is most generous in the Northeast, according to the research, where children get an average of $4.10 per tooth. By contrast, Midwestern children found the least under their pillows, with an average of $3.30 per tooth.

Despite the recent economic downturn, the custom remains popular with the tooth fairy visiting 90 percent of households in the U.S. this year.

All I got was a quarter for my tooth and tried to haggle a bigger price to no avail. Grrrrr!

A win that shouldn't be. People are getting more ignorant, and worse self involved.

Bottom line, ya for the person kicking her out.

I wish there was a post interview with the chick because I reeeeeeeeeeeeally would like to hear her lame excuse as to why she held up the train and see her fish for a reason why "she wasn't at faulit....blah blah blah". She will never get any sympathy, but it would be fun to see her try and milk it.

What  HUGE fail. The idea of people talking on their phones on a plane. OHHELLNO

Cellphone use during flights? 'I'd rather have snakes on a plane'

Quote
You might not be able to escape a co-passenger that won't shutup now that the government is considering allowing passenger to make cellphone calls while flying.

Mere weeks after the FAA relaxed rules to allow the use of personal electronic devices during all phases of flight -- a running list of which airlines are allowing gate-to-gate use is here -- the FCC is getting in on the cellphone plane party and considering letting passengers talk and text across the whole country.

"...the time is right to review our outdated and restrictive rules," said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.

The public reaction was swift and overwhelmingly negative. Some passengers said they would consider changing their airline loyalty if their go-to carrier decided to allow in-flight calls.

"100 percent. I'm a frequent flier on one particular airline but if they made that change I would consider making that change for sure," a passenger at Washington-Dulles told TODAY.

When the TODAY show asked, "Should the FCC allow cellphone calls on planes?" 96 percent of responding viewers using the hashtag #orangeroom said "NO."

Since they are lifting the ban on cell phones, they should just allow carry-on weapons and VIP seating for terrorist in first class where they are offered Dom Pérignon and Caviar before commencing with hijackings. It's the only thing to do since we are being so lax these days.

Was the Mandela memorial interpreter a fake? (with Marlee Matlin)




This gets a BIG FAT FAIL! When I first saw this, even though sign language isn't the same worldwide, I immediately knew there was something off about what this idiot was doing. I do have some background in sign language as I took it in College as an alternative. I thought it would be a fun class to take and something different that I could in fact use later for whatever reason. Anyway, yeah, this clown is a joke. Really not sure what the hell he was doing or what even possessed him to get up in front of millions of viewers all over the planet and proceed to make a mockery out of sign language. Unless his goal was to do exactly that and get his 15 minutes of fame.
