| Travel-Buggy Lightens the Load for Visiting Babies
(openPR) - Travel-Buggy is the only company of its kind in Montreal. Lisa Knight, President of Travel Buggy Services Inc. (www.travel-buggy.com) started the baby equipment rental business in April 2006 to service a currently untouched market. Visitors with babies and small children can now rent strollers, cribs, highchairs and a host of other essential baby items when they stay in Montreal and surroundings, rather than having to bring all their bulky baby equipment with them. Likewise, Montrealers expecting family and friends travelling with small children can profit from this service without having to buy and store these cumbersome items. Baby equipment rental is becoming a booming business now that increasing numbers of families are travelling for pleasure AND business. An estimated 70,000 children between the ages of 0 and 2 spent one night or more in Montreal in 2005.

I'm Anna Nicole Smith's Baby's Daddy
If I am attacked one more time via ET's Anna Nicole Smiths loony anguish, I'm going to claim fatherhood to her baby so that this telecast run-on sentence can find its period. Jacqueline Kennedy as a mother never got this much media coverage.Smith is playing this whole baby bit up till its truly undone genuine motherhood. Of course, Smith is such a born fake that to scale back to the genuine would be impossible. Thus this over exposure simply adds to the layers of obvious nonsense.But it's not only Smith who feeds on psycho dip sticks, ET does as well. ET reporters who sit in front of that loose blonde air duct are accomplices to low camp on the networks. However, if thats all that ET has to spread, then were all held captive. Surely we've been fed enough celebrity zeros in past months to line up an assembly line of paper mache nobodys - Tom Cruise, et cetera.
'Never try to catch a falling knife'
Have you ever read some of the crazy warning labels found on various products these days? All of these are real. I am not making any of them up. A label on a baby stroller warns: "Remove Child Before Folding." I pity this poor kid. A brass fishing lure with a three-pronged hook on the end warns: "Harmful if Swallowed." That is especially true if you are a fish, but I assume some human decided to give it a nibble, too. A warning on a flushable toilet brush states: "Do not use for Personal Hygiene." Now that one is just downright frightening. How about this label on a bottle of drain cleaner that warns: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product." If you cannot read, how would you know what that warning label is saying? Perhaps a skull and cross-bones would have done the trick.
