In the Blogging Across America column on today's op-ed page, there is an amusing excerpt from a Parents magazine blog. A dad questions if it's appropriate to have a preteen boy's birthday party at Hooters. He thinks not. What do you think? Read Ron Kelly's posting by clicking here.
In that same column, there is a fun look at a book called "Working for the Man," which includes a list of rules. One of them is "Even if you've been told by numerous reliable sources, do not ask a coworker if she is pregnant. Wait until she tells you." Amen to that one. I've made that mistake myself. Check on the blog by clicking here.
Another new book that sounds fascinating to me is "The Daring Book for Girls," which is a sequel to a hot-selling book from Great Britain called "The Dangerous Book for Boys." These are good candidates for great gift ideas. Check in on the author's blog by clicking here.
Do you have a favorite blog? (Besides Opinion Talk, I mean.) Tell me about it and maybe we'll excerpt from it next time. We are always looking for good ones.
I like to visit the Blogger News Network (BNN).

I don't know about any other blogs but I do enjoy reading and commenting n this one. As for a birthday party for a young boy that is for the dad looking for anexcuse to hang out there himself. You see girls dressed like that at the mall. They are just girls trying to make a living while in college and so what if they make more by wearing less coverage. It is only about sex if your mind is in the toilet. Still not the place for a young boys party though.
As far as letting the boys in, I don't see a problem with it.
They see less at pool parties, and the beach what are we going to do about that, ban bikini's?
