Along with love, if you want your marriage to be a long one, you have to look at this other person as your partner in life. This includes respecting that person and not keeping secrets. He has to tell her that he slept with her dad. Yeah, it could be a deal breaker, but better now than five, ten years later when…

It’s easier for management to have more control over what you’re doing if you’re physically in the office. I love working from home and get much more done than if I had to go to the office every day. BUT Yahoo did have many serious issues when she took over. One of the big issues was many people weren’t doing their…

Yes, definitely Alice. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me.”

I love Julia too, but if I could pick me a dead guy, I’d choose Robert Heinlein. I know, that makes me an embarassing nerd in too many ways.

Then I’ll keep Tina company while you’re chilling with Amy. I have a girl crush on Tina.

Excellent choices.

My youngest overheard some family members talking about his birth. He came to the conclusion that he was an "accident". He began to well up with tears, when I hugged him and told him I was an accident. Being an accident doesn't mean you're unwanted. My father, his grandpa, roared with laughter and shouted 90% of…

Out of the blue, my fiancé gave me a nice enough ring. I thought we were going to wait until we had some money before we bought any diamonds, but then he showed up with this shiny silver princess cut thing. Not my taste, but I thought it was his, so I smiled and thanked him. A month later I found out he'd been…

While my ancient cat (22 years old) had to use the doggie pee pads in her last months because she didn't believe in litter boxes for cats over the age of 21. She was still capable of using the box, she just didn't believe she had to anymore. She'd have taken up drinking and smoking if she had the access. She became…

It could be time for some '90s sitcom hijinks! "I thought we were on a break!" Audience laughs uproariously! Or maybe she grew up a little and realized he's duller than most of the men around her, it's not just his age.

I love you. (Sorry, but the feeling came over me.) I forgot how fun it was to make your own stuff. I'm heading out to the bead store next week. Next weekend I will have a beautiful necklace or two that will be whimsical, yet stylish.

Yeah, I used their poor treatment of Ann Curry to stop watching. It was continuing to devolve into a tabloid show. I felt I needed a shower after watching it half the time. I switched around and then turned off the TV in the mornings.

I think it's "the man" who's behind the shoe racks, matching hangers, and what was it, a scent diffuser? What, my house doesn't smell nice and clean as it is? It's the same corporate entities who tell us our living spaces should look like hotel rooms and lobbies. Why? Where's the joy in that? There isn't, but you…

Yeah, but people who stay late to prove a point bond with each other. There's more chatting and patting on the back about how late they're staying to "get things done". But it's usually the non-chatty people who get in at seven or eight and just get on with it. I believe that kind of thinking is a reflection of…

That news is good enough to make me drive over to the next town and buy meat and poultry from Costco.

Nothing like seeing a guy who could be your friend's dad in bondage gear. Nope. Can't unsee it now.

One of the many reasons I find it hard to talk to my youngest sister is that she actually purchased a book by Ann Coulter. She gave that woman money for her words, hate, and venom. My sister said it was a joke. Sigh. She gave that woman money for her words. Unbelievable.

It does look better when she sits. I think those oversized, droopy pockets ruined the overall look. Can't see them when she sits.

Well, if it's only four a year...

Eons ago, I asked Cadbury the same thing. They said they modified the recipes for each region's "distinctive tastes". I told them we already had enough Hershey's bars, we wanted beautiful Cadbury milk chocolate. They said that's the way it is. It's all about the money.
