A new 13th sign called Ophiuchus is not a sign at all just like Pluto is not a planet any more. This is utterly ridiculous and this really irritates my inner Aries and I want some deep deep meditative intuition to show me the truth, no bullsh*t either! This was my immediate response as soon as I heard of a new zodiac sign that has changed the arrangement of all the other approved signs.
THE NEW ZODIAC
ARIES = APRIL 19 – MAY 13 TAURUS = MAY 14 – JUNE 19 GEMINI = JUNE 20 – JULY 20 CANCER = JULY 21 – AUG 9 LEO = AUGUST 10 – SEPTEMBER 15 VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 – OCTOBER 30 LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 22 SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 – NOVEMBER 29 OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 – DECEMBER 17 SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 – JANUARY 18 CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 – FEBRUARY 15 AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 – MARCH 11 PISCES = MARCH 12 – APRIL 18
Are we serious now??? I think not, what…are they going to tell us next, that a 13th month is gonna come. No way! I think people who are going to believe in this 13th sign should be warned. Who wants a serpent tamer as their figurehead in the cosmic world! I don’t think my fear of snakes has anything to do with my dislike of this re-found sign, but I just feel that if so many follow the bible, they can agree that snakes are a symbol of evil thus this sign can be of evil nature. Or it can be shown as man overcoming evil by taming it. Yet, this new revealed sign makes me look at the wave of men dancing with temptation (men and women and gay and straight). Either way, you messed with this fiery battering ram. And I need to butt heads with the officials involved in this hocus pocus. As far as I and my mother are concerned the Babylonians disregarded this 13th sign for a specific reason. Even the number 13 comes across as bad.
Since we are entering 2012 and all this new zodiac sign crap is playing in the game, I think I shall retreat to my sacred bedroom and meditate for real astrological answers.
Now ask yourself this question. Would I ever go to bed with my hard denim jeans or switch into pajamas that are cute and bedtime soft? I would say more than half of you would choose the pajamas as we don’t like to be held down by the feeing of being uncomfortable while falling asleep. Or even take an alternative like wearing sweatpants. So, with today’s fashion trends and the combination clothing products like jeggings, we find ourselves in a new world with a newly released roughly estimated $40 product called PajamaJeans®. Simply these soft and fake jeans are said to be comfy and can fit any size. This product even appeared on the daytime television talk-show The View.
While browsing the web to find more answers and comments about this easily replaceble product with the good ‘ole sweatpants or jeans, I could only find major blogs likeCafeMom.comandTimes-Union.comjust posting a little bit about the product, attaching the official infomercial, and letting their viewers comment on what they think about PajamaJeans®. Here are some of the reader’s thoughts:

I think they are hilarious. I would totally wear these in the morning to drop my kiddos off. -periwinkle163
Seeing as i have more yoga type pants then jeans, yes i probably would wear them. but i wouldnt pay $40 for them -2cuddlebabies

I’m with everyone who thinks wearing pj’s in public is wrong. I refuse – I even make my husband change out of his sweats if we’re going anywhere together – nothing much I can do if he goes off when I’m not around. I will admit to once going out in “lounge pants” – it was 5am and I had promised my husband donuts for the first night of Hanukkah and I was not inclined to make them this year so I trugged off to the local donut shop in my less then stellar clothing with a coat covering it and got the treats and came home – all under cover of darkness. Never again, I was horrified at myself! -Comment by Susan
Gee I’m real sorry guys but I’m one that likes to wear my pajama bottoms in public. Don’t ask me why but I do. I work all week long and on weekends I like to feel comfortable and my pajama bottoms give me that comfort. Say what you like but I that’s how [I] feel. -Comment by Anna
Bernard’s Verdict
I say if you can buy them for $40 then do so. It is your money and your time. If you don’t get them then no loss. Just wear your regular jeans during the day and at night you can wear your pajamas or sweatpants. It really does not matter, but honestly for $40, I am going to use my money on something much more valuable, even though these PajamaJeans® are for females. Just another round in the female-fashion world. I am waiting for the creators make PajamaJeans® for kids! Then the moms out there will really have something to say.
