I have never been this excited about seeing... anyone.

You just have to commit to changing. I was scared out of sleeping on my stomach by a chiropractor many years ago, and although it was difficult to make the change, I was determined to sleep on my back. (I also sleep on my side throughout the night, but mostly sleep on my back.) I never thought I’d be able to change…

I was told by a massage therapist that one must strengthen one's muscles in the upper back to counter the effects of so often having our arms stretched out in front of us. I only have a minute here, so did a quick search for ya;

Thank you!

Ha ha... I love that you can't bring yourself to say Spoonula. :-)

I'm with ya on wooden spoons. They seem like the perfect bacterial breeding ground, but that may not be true (and I don't cook enough to worry 'bout it).

Thank you for the info!

Does the Spoonula render your spoons and spatulas thrift store bound, or does it do its own thang entirely? (And if so, what is that thang?) I'm sincerely curious.

I thoroughly appreciated this post. (As depressing as it is.) I have one question, though, for anyone who's got an answer. Does anyone know why we rarely hear the name John Crawford when talking about cops that get away with killing innocent young, black men? If anyone's unfamiliar, he was the 22yr old man who was…

That's it! She's inspired me. I'm gonna enjoy this holiday, or die tryin'!

I like how she's wearing a glittery, cowl-neck sweater during the day... in Texas.

I just really wanna pull that shirt down so it's not cinching up over that one boob. Happens to me on my 'smaller boob side' too, and it's driving me crazy to see that photo. Someone help the girl(s) out!

Thank you for this post, Melanie. You reminded me that I've been wanting to check out my local Toastmasters meeting - so I checked out their site, and they welcome walk-in visitors. I'll suggest the same for you. Perhaps not as intimidating when you're just observing, and can easily split if you feel weird.

I suspect foul play. Manipulative editing techniques are being employed, as well as cats being thrown at children. Propaganda!

I'll take that as a "No". Oh well. Worth a shot.

At least your friends were agreeing with you. Mine just went for the chuckles (when what I was looking for was confirmation that I wasn't the only one noticing/being bothered by it). I even fabricated an example of a FB status update; "So I'm going to the bar. Anyone else going?", and all I got was a friend surmising…

Thank you for this post! I swear I'm hearing more and more people beginning their sentences with "So", and it's driving me bonkers. I just recently vented on my FB page about this, and not one person agreed with what I was saying. (Most just chimed in with comments they thought were funny because they started them…

Clearly a bum rap. She barely cracked a grimace in the aftermath of acquiring her alleged "severe bodily injuries".

I can't count the number of times I've immediately shut the door on a person, an idea, trend, etc., because of what I believed to be my "accurate observation". I'd later realize how I was being reactive and emotional, rather than accurate and truly observational. I agree with the author that like everything else, it's…

On the flip side, there are very creative people who are completely thwarted by their inability to focus on their pursuits in large part due to the clutter in their physical space. That mess can serve as both a physical and a mental block to their creative expression. Yes, some may thrive in the mess, but I'd guess…

A skirt is generally not considered "revealing clothing" (well, unless some creep is 'revealing' what's under the skirt with a camera). Further, expecting attention for wearing a "short skirt" is one thing. (As the short skirt wearer you are inferring that by virtue of that short skirt, you've decided others can see a…
