I’m not a babysitter but I play one on TV
Pediatricians have studied almost 9,000 preschoolers and have determined that 2/3 OF US PRESCHOOLERS ARE WATCHING MORE THAN 2 HOURS OF TV A DAY, which is higher than what the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends.

Full-body Spandex Morphsuit (pick your color)
So the other day, Web Watch was participating in the monthly WOOT-OFF when we saw them talking about the ROOT SUIT.
We know you’ve seen the ROOT SUIT on TV this football season — it’s been featured gameday wear for any number of collegiate and NFL football fans eager to get on TV but without having to show their face.
There are other versions and names out there: the MORPH SUIT, Zentai, a full-body spandex suit, the lycra outfit, the Spiderman getup. And they’re all the same basic thing — a costume that you can hide in public in.

Web Watch has worked for two types of companies:
The philosophy behind the former is that an employee would have a bank of sick days that are available even if they use up all their vacation.
The philosophy of the latter is that employees should be treated like adults, and if they want to use all their “sick” days as actual vacation then it’s up to them do choose to do so.
There really are pros and cons of both. There’s nothing wrong with taking a “mental health day”, but having official vacation days that can be scheduled helps the organization ensure that there is proper coverage for whatever they happen to need staff for.

Are you scared of germs?
How do you feel when you meet someone who just came out of the bathroom and you have to shake their hand? Especially if their hand is still just a little damp from not being dried properly?
Say it with us: “Eeewww.”
You don’t want to touch anything in a public bathroom that’s wet, right?
Now take the same situation, and instead of “bathroom”, think “sneeze”. You’re about to shake someone’s hand when they abruptly sneeze into it — then proudly present it for the handshake. How do you graciously back out of that one? It’s not like you can immediately switch to the Howie Mandel fistbumptm.

Web Watch was driving down the highway the other day when we were almost part of an accident waiting to happen.
The doofus in the pick-up truck in front of us ended up slamming on his brakes for some reason, which led to all of us behind him having to quickly do the same. While we had plenty of braking room in front of us under normal circumstances, he had his pickup truck tailgate down, taking away an extra foot of available brake space from our squealing tires.
Luckily, this was during the day and we could see that the tailgate was down, but if this same situation happened at night, that truck would be minus one tailgate and we would be minus one engine.

Who We Were: A Snapshot Picture of America
As you go about cleaning out your house, Web Watch is sure that the question of “What shoul I do with all these old photos that we have lying around?” comes up on occasion.
Some photos, you naturally would keep. Perhaps in a frame, perhaps in a shoebox tucked under the bed.
But there are also novelty photos that really aren’t meaningful enough to keep, but aren’t so bad that you want to throw them away.
That’s where MOVING PICTURES comes in, as they’ve taken dozens of photobooth film strips and other photos that they’ve found scattered around across America and digitized them.
