The GEM Debate: Cell Phones On Planes.. Can You Hear Me Now?
2
Surely this is a sign the world is nearing an end. I was reading on my friend Jim’s blog that Virgin Atlantic is now going to allow cell phone calls on certain flights. Is there anything possibly more hellish than that, well I mean, other than HELL?
Anyone who’s taken a flight knows how hard it is to hear, over the pressurized cabin and engine noise, the person sitting a scant 6 inches away from you. Add what one can only imagine will be spotty, cell service and cramped quarters and you have More >
The GEM Debate: No Boys On The Field? Fair Or Foul?
1I have a feeling we’re about to open up a whole can of worms here but that’s never stopped us before, now has it?
Okay before I dive into this I need to tell you that my beloved Darling Casey is a softball player this year! Woot! Some of you may know she also plays volleyball but this is the first year she’s decided to give another sport a try. Now, you may also know she’s not the most aggressive kid (very, VERY unlike her brother) and she’s still learning the ropes out there on the field.

The GEM Debate: Is THIS A Good Use Of Police Time And Taxpayer Bucks?
8Â I came across this little ditty recently and thought it was a good one to talk about. We know texting while driving is dangerous, even deadly. Well, there are also dangers involved in texting while walking and officials in Fort Lee New Jersey plan to do something about it. They have issued a ban and if you get caught, prepare to crack that wallet open wide.
My take: I hate seeing people do this, especially walking down the street in Manhattan. But before I scramble to the very top of my More >
The GEM Debate: Is THIS The New Graduation GIft?
2Â Be sure to check out Good Enough Mother on CNN-HLN tonight on this controversial topic.
If this is the new graduation present, my kids better stay in school forever. Check out this piece out of Houston Texas, where an 18-year-old girl asked for breast implants as a high school graduation gift. And her parents agreed!
Really? REALLY? I’m having a bit of a struggle just wrapping my head around this one. Why? Two reasons I can think of off the top of my head.

The GEM Debate: How Would You Feel If Your Man Did THIS?
13Move over ladies, there’s someone in the waxing room next to you with a really.. deep… voice. Paying homage to Austin Powers here when I say, that’s because, ” He’s a man, baby!”
This story is right out of the land of Austin Powers too. It seems that men are taking a little more care in how they look but it’s more than cologne and a close shave. According to this piece in the Daily Mail, traffic by men is up 66% in some salons in Britain. So what’s going on and more importantly, what are they More >
The GEM Debate: A Pound Of Flesh And A Firing; Is She Owed Anything?
10We’re gonna dive into the sad, but murky tale of two women, a car group and a kidney. How’s that for a tease?
A Long Island woman is suing her former boss, claiming that she was fired after she donated one of her kidneys to her. Debbie Stevens used to work for Jackie Brucia at Atlantic Automotive Group. Stevens moved to Florida at one point, but went back to see the old gang during a visit up north. That’s apparently when Brucia detailed her health problems and her trouble More >
