counterfeit… baby wipes?

I came across this article after I did a survey on the Huggies Baby Club website. It’s talking about some counterfeit baby wipes that they have learned of:

It has come to our attention that an organisation is illegally applying the Huggies® Baby Wipes logo, graphics and artwork to packaging containing wipes which have been made in China. The packaging also uses similar colours to those used for the genuine product.

I know that imitation products isn’t exactly funny, but at first glance it makes me laugh, referring to counterfeit baby wipes :)

scissorsAbigail has started to show an interest in the workings of scissors. Previously I have always flat out denied her requests to use some, but I think she is ready to start learning now. We had a pair of those almost useless plastic encased children’s safety scissors that we got when Stephanie was starting to learn how to use scissors. I was helping her use them the other day and they weren’t working very well (well.. you know, extra less well than they should work!) and upon examination I discovered that they were broken. Worn out. So I’ve been trying to get some more.

It’s proving ridiculously difficult. They’re the kind of things you see around everywhere when you’re not looking for them but when you actually want some, forget it. None in the supermarket. None in Big W. None in the newsagent! None in the cheap shop. I’m thinking I may have to go to The Blue Shop to look there, though a look at their website indicates they don’t have exactly the kind that I am looking for but might have some other ones that will be suitable. At, you know, four times the price.

Why does Abigail feel that it is necessary to remove her lunchbox from her bag every kinder day, after I have made her lunch and carefully arragned everything so that it fits; to check that I have done it properly? Because it really irritates the fuck out of me. Especially since I DO KNOW how to make lunch for someone and because she can rarely put everything back in properly so I have to re-do it.

So as you can see I have installed WordPress. As the installation instructions suggested, I was suitably impressed with the ease and speed that it took to accomplish the task. You make your database. You put the database info into a config file. You upload everything. You load an installer file which writes the relevant tables and creates you an admin login to the system. And then off you go. No Step1, Step 2, Step 2.3 but only if you ate cornflakes for breakfast, Step 3. I’m not naming names but some other popular blog software could do with such a simplified set up.

I also quite like the installation of themes. Download. Unzip. Upload. Viola! For one such as myself who is temporally challenged, this is quite handy. And there are so many themes around. I had no idea that WordPress was so big and so widespread.
