I am actually pro-tradition in addressing/stationery related areas, but to each their own. You do you. Do what makes sense. HOWEVER, even my traditional self was not going to change the last name of friends who kept theirs just because "Mr. & Mrs. So & So" is also technically correct. Everyone got their proper last…

From a trial/evidentiary/prosecution standpoint, I really really really like this. It is much more protective of victims and makes it, as it should be, more of an inquiry into and trial of the alleged perpetrator and not the alleged victim.

"Maybe corporations are classified as super-people because they're something men can give birth to."

So true. Reese Witherspoon does a great job too. The occasional (maybe yearly?) stepping out where her girls get photographed in what seem to be controlled settings, but even that only in recent years when they were probably old enough to understand that it was part of mommy's job.

So, Brad and Angelina have to be just as kind and wonderful as their media personae suggest. Otherwise, there is no way they could pull this off without a leak. People must have so much respect for them — or, alternatively, they pay such extraordinary sums for silence (this is not an unlikely alternative, but I…

The only way to stop a good guy who plans to rape is a good right hook? Wayne LaPierre he is not. But, yes, the "only" way is a good punch to the nose from a sober woman. If only the fact that this is too absurd to pass the laugh test meant that no one would believe it.

I had no idea Margaret Atwood was getting into crime fiction. I take it this is a synopsis of her new novel. I want to reject that this is anyone's reality.

I genuinely don't understand in what context the woman with the platter of food to feed 10 is supposed to be used for. No context in which someone would say "we need an average sized American woman squatting on a scale — you know what, with a party-sized plate of burgers and dogs, that would provide the perfect…

I am a lady who loves sports. And talking about sports. Sometimes with other ladies who love sports, sometimes not. But, I just don't see what need this fills, really. SportsCenter has lots of women anchors/reporters. All of the networks could do a better job diversifying their analysts, but I'd rather see a…

"Maybe do a better job of using evidence in the case to prove the rapist is guilty? Just a thought."

A company I follow on Instagram (forget who) showed this dress with these shoes 3 days ago or so. January's stylist should really keep that under wraps. Love the dress though. Just love.

The pale pink is all wrong with the platinum hair (which I dig). And, for the Emmys, she should have had the skirt and blouse fitted properly. I always get the sense she is purposefully trying to put her worst foot forward in high end couture. I guess that's her shtick. Overall, I think the whole look fails from a…

I had time in both of Chicago and NYC. Chicago memories are clearer — I chalk that up to beer over vodka and brunch portion size being more appropriate for the quantities of booze to be consumed.

I've never been so on trend. I'm OK with that. If I wait a minute or two, I'll be back to being basic again. (Unless basic is good? I can't keep up.)

Oh, how I don't miss my mid-20s. So much fun. I just don't miss it. Some of it, I also don't remember.

Looking back, I can't believe it, but school started at either 7:15 or 7:20 (it's been a while). We had a 10 minute homeroom for attendance and then on our way to first class. Done just after 2. To head to sports (for me). It was AWFUL. But, I was aces at living on 4 hours of sleep.

But, in all seriousness, should it be like the criminal justice system where there are sentencing guidelines that say if you are found guilty of X crime, your punishment is Y-Z years as determined by the judge? I think there are valid arguments that that system has a number of flaws, over-punishes in many case, and…

Law. Illinois. (Not the rural part.) And, I'm not sure I get the distinction in your outrage. I mean, I went to law school (with a great deal of others) and overwhelmingly, I think acceptance of differences and communication was paramount. Though, so were strongly held opinions.

My graduate school (not in Utah) always has a noticeable number of Mormons in each class. It is a good school and by all attending together, they created their own mini-community. Until the year a Mormon woman enrolled. She was not welcome amongst the Mormon students or their wives and children. It was well known…

External wombs do raise all sorts of practical and ethical questions about conception and "birth" of a child, but since technological developments are not unique to this country, it's not really about "this country" or about what "life means." It's more about where life comes from (physically), who decides when and…
