Comment on: 'Tablet computer for toddlers has promise, flaws'
Toddlers should be playing with real things, not virtual things on a screen. Sure, some electronic fun with mom and dad's phone or (electronic) tablet won't hurt them, but really a bucket full of cray more »

Comment on: 'You haul, and you may get ripped off as well'
This is precisely why I only rent trucks from Penske. Professional organization through and through. With U-Haul it's missing trucks, excuses and add on fees all day long.

Comment on: 'Municipal light companies shone after Irene'
I moved to a town with a municipal power company. Previously, I lived in a town where NStar provided the power. Where I live now, the rates are lower, the service is better, storm response was excelle more »

Comment on: 2011 BMW 335is: M3 fun for less - Boston Overdrive - Boston.com
People would get this because the resale value of a M3 coupe with its top removed drops sharply, along with it's structural rigidity. This sounds like a great ride for those of us who like convertible more »

Comment on: 'Thanks to my wife, I'm still out rockin' sometimes'
My wife has her friends. They go out and talk about whatever women talk about when they are out. Sometimes they shop, see a movie (usually a "chick flick") or go to some artsy thing like a play or art more »

Comment on: 'Battered by nationwide criticism, why is Wellesley standing by its religion curriculum?'
Like it or not, religion plays an enormous part in world history, understanding of literature and understanding other people's backgrounds. This class sounds like education actually exposing kids to T more »

I couldn't believe "dogparent" was used in a "news story" in the Globe. If this were a featured blog, sure.

Comment on: College grad interviewing tips - The Job Doc Blog - Boston.com
Don't be afraid to use the words "I don't know", either. It's even better if you follow it up with "However, this is how I'd go about finding out the answer ...."

I'd rather my company spent the money lowering the people insurance rates and co-pays ... which seem to go up every year without fail.

Comment on: Boston Tow Party: Racing with lemons - Boston Overdrive - Boston.com
I found it, too. The English language is under assault from all over -- the txtspk crowd, startup companies that have given up vowels and now the Globe can't be bothered to proof anything anymore.

Comment on: Open dialogue is crucial as Wal-Mart moves into Boston - The Boston Globe
If you don't like it, don't shop there. But plenty of people like to shop there. They didn't get to be the world's largest retailer by being idiots at business.

Comment on: Wal-Mart%20to%20meet%20with%20city%20Thursday
You'd think the economy was humming along and unemployment was at 0%. What arrogance from the mayor ... "I expect them to apply for a permit ... we'll have a detailed discussion".

Comment on: 'Northborough, Mass.: Where streets have no name'
I'm surprised anyone noticed. Massachusetts has the worst street signs of anywhere I've ever been in this country or the world. Why don't they mark the street you are on, like they do everywhere else? more »

Comment on: Soccer grumps - The Boston Globe
It's not the game of soccer that annoys me, it's the soccer fans who lecture me why I should watch soccer who really annoy me. I'm not a hater ... I just don't watch sports all that much.
