Kellie Martin, who starred in the 1989-93 series Life Goes On and then later on ER, and her husband, Keith Christian, are expecting their first child in October.

Martin, 30, had better be a quick study. "I never even babysat," she tells the Associated Press. "The only time I've changed a diaper is when my friend, who just had a baby, called and said, 'Come over, you need to practice.'"

The actress, however, did manage some hands-on experience with an infant in her latest role – set to air Saturday – as amateur sleuth Samantha Kinsey on the Hallmark Channel's Mystery Movies. In the episode, Kinsey ends up caring for a suspect's infant – actually played in the movie by 6-month-old triplet boys.

Says Martin: "I looked at the mother, who was taking care of these three little babies, and I thought, 'I can't imagine how demanding that must be. I'm just going to get one. Yeah, I can do this!'"

I love Kellie Martin - I'm glad for her. Did anyone watch that show with her - where she was a teacher in the Appalachian mountains?

Sorry, I didn't see this...it's about grammar...and the misplacement of commas, punctuation, etc. in today's world.


THANKS!
Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation (Hardcover)
by Lynne Truss

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Who would have thought a book about punctuation could cause such a sensation? Certainly not its modest if indignant author, who began her surprise hit motivated by "horror" and "despair" at the current state of British usage: ungrammatical signs ("BOB,S PETS"), headlines ("DEAD SONS PHOTOS MAY BE RELEASED") and band names ("Hear'Say") drove journalist and novelist Truss absolutely batty. But this spirited and wittily instructional little volume, which was a U.K. #1 bestseller, is not a grammar book, Truss insists; like a self-help volume, it "gives you permission to love punctuation." Her approach falls between the descriptive and prescriptive schools of grammar study, but is closer, perhaps, to the latter. (A self-professed "stickler," Truss recommends that anyone putting an apostrophe in a possessive "its"-as in "the dog chewed it's bone"-should be struck by lightning and chopped to bits.) Employing a chatty tone that ranges from pleasant rant to gentle lecture to bemused dismay, Truss dissects common errors that grammar mavens have long deplored (often, as she readily points out, in isolation) and makes elegant arguments for increased attention to punctuation correctness: "without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning." Interspersing her lessons with bits of history (the apostrophe dates from the 16th century; the first semicolon appeared in 1494) and plenty of wit, Truss serves up delightful, unabashedly strict and sometimes snobby little book, with cheery Britishisms ("Lawks-a-mussy!") dotting pages that express a more international righteous indignation.
