Make A Great First Impression
Whether you’re a man or woman, your first date presents an opportunity that will never come again—the chance to make a good first impression. Ladies—wear a dress that hugs your curves in all the right places, but still leaves a little to the imagination (bare the legs or the breasts, not […]

(Wolf) Whistle While You Work?
You Betcha!
Even though it’s often advised against, dating people you work with makes practical sense—after all, we spend so much of our lives in the office, there’s often no other way or time to meet anyone else. But that’s not to say you don’t have to be smart—extra smart, in fact—about […]

Text-Message Etiquette
Breaking up by text is not okay, but Britney wasn’t really breaking up with Kevin. She had her attorneys serve him with divorce papers, and she sent him a final flip off with a text message. The breaking up happened before that. It was private and the press was not privy to it.

The biggest news in wedding gifts has to do with divorce! Because the divorce rate is so high, there are increasingly more and more second and third weddings. These second and third weddings are different from traditional first weddings, and so, too, are the wedding gifts.

God save the queen–from any further encounters with our (not mine, I didn’t vote for him) prudence-plundering president. I’m just wondering, does he actually practice his speeches before he makes them? If so, does he get his helpful feedback from Batman’s joker or what? Something is going repeatedly and horribly wrong.

Yet another fabulous saying I’ve heard in AA is, “Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth.” This advice would be well heeded by non-alcoholics too. The older I get, the more I notice that people can’t stand to stop talking and listen.
I’ve always been a motor mouth. My parents […]
