This JUST happened here at the local Wally World: Victoria, BC, Canada Nursing mom told 'You can't be here' in Langford Wal-Mart http://www.timescolonist.com/life/Nursing+told+here+Langford+Mart/1804581/story.html...

Commented on Life with a 100 lb rodent that sounds like a Geiger counter when it's happy
My two year old just walked over, and upon seeing the above photo, said 'Beaver! Cute!' It's strange to me that someone could confuse these rodents with wombats, tapirs or peccaries....
Commented on Shotgun shell shot glasses
This isn't a new idea, Trader Vic's has been serving drinks in shotgun shell shot glasses and tall glasses in red and green for decades. They're very fetching! http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/mug.cgi?mode=view&mug_id=1727&ind_mug_id=10419 (Link Big Shot page on Ooga-Mooga!)...
Commented on How to make a minpin poop compost bin: an illustrated guide
I did what #7 linked to, only I cut the bottom out of the garbage can. Works like a charm! You buy little Bio-Clean Septic packets for use every week or month or so, and keep it topped up with...

Commented on British local governments deploy anti-teenager pink lights designed to make kids ashamed of their appearance
I can remember my local 7-11 cranking up the classical music and installing similar anti-flattering amber fluorescent lights. This is nothing new, but the music probably attracted the elderly in this case. Dual purpose!...

Commented on Chocolate Beer
Our local Longboat Double Chocolate Porter by Phillips is a very tasty chocolate beer. This type of thing isn't rare in the craft brewed circuit. I suggest you get out there and have a micro-brewed beer adventure....

As the wife of a forces member, and the mother of a young child that will have to go through deployments, I don't think this idea would fly to well. Emotions run high, and an AI would just be a...

jafi commented on IKEA sends breastfeeder to the toilets
I've had the receipt thing at Best Buy. What irritated me - was there was no one else checking out and the guy asking to see the receipt was standing 3 feet away and saw me being rung up by the clerk. What, I was going to take something between the end of the counter and him? I told him not a chance, he looked shocked and started to argue, I think the look on my face dissuaded him. WRT to the Redhook Ikea and merchandise returns - they're obligated to follow the corporate policy on returns. I'd go to...

If retail employees detain you, they better have you bang on for a shoplifting (or other criminal) charge, or they are in deep doo-doo. Though, security staff in particular are famously bad at obeying the law. They are occasionally far more dangerous to society than shoplifters. Anyone remember the case a while back where two Wal-Mart security guards held a man pinned down against scorching hot asphalt until he died? I think one of the real problems at play here is that, overall... there are very low standards of training and qualification for security staff. They'll hire any moron...

I'm aligned pretty strongly with Boingers on most things, but I have to say that I disagree with some of the comments made here. First, turning the inconsiderateness and stupidity of one (or a few) individuals into an indictment of U.S. culture and people is patently ridiculous. Turning it, by itself, into an indictment of our culture? Yes, ridiculous. However as a part of a larger trend dating back nearly as long as the nation has existed, American culture does firmly believe in revoking any rights that the majority thinks is "wrong" or merely distasteful. Research the history of...

In San Francisco, my wife has only been hassled by born again Christians (at the church she used to attend), and flamingly gay men (at Rainbow, of all places (by another customer, not staff) and the Pride Parade). She's blown them off (heck, I'd expect the staff to give anyone a talking to it they cught them hassling a breastfeeding mom)....
jgs commented on IKEA sends breastfeeder to the toilets
A little too much tarring the whole U.S. with the same broad brush going on here. My wife has breastfed our daughter in various public places (library, restaurants, parks, etc) for about a year now with nary a single eyebrow being raised. It does get my blood pressure up whenever I read about this kind of silliness though....
