there are things I would never buy due to the commerical. I really, really hate the one for ON*Star--bunch of adorable tykes asking me if I WANT little Jimmie to get carjacked or the car to spin out of control; and the one for some stomach med--prilosec?--where two old people are kvetching about Old Woman's pain med. for arthritis and SHE DID NOT KNOW-NOR DID HER HUSBAND!!!-that it could cause STOMACH PROBLEMS!! Old woman goes, "I didn't know!" and old man goes, "she didn't know!" and old woman goes, "Oh, YOU didn't know, either!!" Makes my stomach hurt.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
