The most exciting events of my professional life (and some of the biggest changes) have taken place after 45.

It's completely up to you on what feels right to you. My husband has wanted to buy me pearls for years—I say, why? The fakes are great.

Tiffany's has no special cachet. Not for at least 10 years. You were much smarter to use Blue Nile.

I must join the lovefest. If this isn't COTD, there is no justice at Jez.

They are truly committing crimes against humanity.

This is not a woman's issue. Why would you frame it that way?

People who do not vaccinate their children (and do not have documented MEDICAL reasons for failing to do so) should be shunned.

Oh for God's sake, I was speaking about love.

No matter what, she will always be the bodaciously beautiful half of the greatest married couple in TV history. Oh, Mrs. Coach, I'll love you forever.

TAKE THE RING!!!!! TAKE THE RING!!!!!

Some people can have houses, trips, rings, weddings, etc.

It is not snobbery. It's discernment. There is a difference.

I have never once felt guilty about my husband buying me lovely things. We have been married thirty years. When we had less money, the gifts were modest, and I loved the small ones just as much as the big ones.

Thanks!

I am in the university business. This is an open secret at many universities. It's horrible to read, but it's also true.

I got news: Not even most very elderly women in the Midwest have that look. You can't blame us for that.

No, seriously. I actually do think I have this. I read the description and it does seem like I have this phobia.

STOP IT. STOP IT. I'm typing with one hand over my eye. I cn't look this up.

My God. Get rid of that picture. It's creeping me out. It's like it's got thumb fungus on its face.

If someone tells me he or she does't like Michelle Obama, I kind of stop liking them. I LOVE Michelle. I love her bangs and her sense of style and her husband.
