I'll stick with Yahoo!Finance, Yahoo!Autos, and Yahoo!Travel, thank you very much. Way to stereotype, Yahoo. And while we're on the subject of being annoyed with you, why in all hell do you flood the image-search results with pictures from Flickr, which doesn't let you save or otherwise use the pictures? No matter what I search for these days, I have to wade through several pages before I find even one picture I can save! This <i>annoys</i> me. You own Flickr, don't you, Yahoo? Either make Flickr photos savable, or quit presenting them as viable image search results. /tangent. Ugh.

I checked that site out a few months ago and left quickly. At home mom I may be, but I run a business from there and sometimes out earn my husband. Talk about making the most of it! So many of the people commenting on the stay at home article have no idea what they're talking about when they go on about the history of women staying at home. Used to be much harder work than it is now! Certainly not a simple or gentler lifestyle. But they think back to the '50s and take that for the eternal reality. Ugh!
