...wife and I must be caring parents, because we've been sent "the catalog for parents who care." It is called Perfectly Safe and is devoted to creating "the perfectly safe home." It offers, for example, a venetian-blind-cord shortener (so your child won't inadvertently hang himself) and a plastic "safety film" to put over windows and glass doors ("For use during hurricanes too!"). The catalog also gives you the opportunity to "Lock out 'toilet tragedies' with...
...amazing how many things you don't realize you need until you get a catalog featuring them. My wife and I had never even discussed toilet tragedies, much less formulated a viable strategy for combatting them. And consider the Tub Rug, a temperature-sensitive bath mat on which the words TOO HOT! appear under appropriate circumstances.

...your Ziggy tea cozy beginning to fray? Your Wizard of Id pinking shears a little dull? Don't reach for that Dilbert catalog. This week, the cast of Doonesbury will debut on mugs, tumblers and T shirts at Starbucks around the U.S. "I've always avoided merchandising because it seemed at odds with the philosophical point of view of the strip," says GARRY TRUDEAU, who created Doonesbury 28 years ago. But now, the artist has joined forces with the coffee conglomerate to raise money to fight illiteracy; with all net proceeds of the items will go to charity...
