Independence Day
Independence. When you’re on your own, making your own decisions and living with them. That’s what it used to mean. But now in the world of helicopter parenting, it has a whole ‘nother meaning.

Hi Ho Silver!
Hi Ho Silver!
Maybe it’s because I’m a glass-half-full type of gal, but when bad things happen, I always look for the silver lining. Lost my job? Time off! Broken jaw? I’ll lose weight! Breast cancer and possible mastectomy? Possible tummy tuck!
So, is it emotional maturity. . . or delusion?

Slap Yourself
Every wanted to go back in time and slap yourself? Not me. Everything I've done, every relationship I started/ended, every decision I've made was right, right, right.
Not.
Hindsight is sure 20/20

Is Feminism a Dirty Word?
Is Feminism a Dirty Word?
What exactly is a feminist? Do you know, or do you just have a visceral dislike of them/us? A lot of people think it’s a dirty word. But I’m going to give you a very accurate definition and I hope you’ll not only share it, but take it to heart as well.

For women, why does it seem like whenever we take a step forward, someone slams us right back? And, sometimes, it's even us.

Burning is not tanning. And you can't turn a sunburn into a tan. But I'm a professional tanner and if you follow my advice, you just might get that tan you've been hoping for.

We're all heard how opposites attract. But what you eventually discover is that there is a reason oil and vinegar don't mix.

Girl Toys
Girl Toys
You always hear about boys and their toys - the need to have the fastest car, the latest gadget, the biggest motorcycle (No; I won't go there). So, if boys need their toys to either make them feel superior or more manly, what do girls need and why do they need it? I'll tell you. . .

Your head has to be spinning over the way the fashion rules have changed so dramatically since we were. . . well, babes. But I can't let go. And I wonder if I'm the only one who can't.

I have often wondered why I've never made it into the executive levels of the companies I've worked for. But I know now; it's how much I talk. Yes. I don't talk enough.

Come on, guys. You’re going bald. You know it. We all know it. Wearing a hat, a wig or getting hair plugs isn’t going to change that.

It Shouldn’t be Hard
It Shouldn’t be Hard
The women of Barbacoas, Colombia launched a sex strike to get an inadequate — and dangerous — road to the main province paved. For over a month now, the women have refused to have sex. It’s a true “crossed leg movement.”
And it's something WE should think about, here. . .

Gossip Boy
Gossip, gossip, gossip. It’s what girls do, right? Wrong. Just like the inaccurate “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” (remember which gender usually says “If I can’t have her, nobody will”), there is the equally inaccurate “gossip like an old lady”. Who gossips more than anyone? Men do. But they call it “sports talk”.

Cultural Differences
Cultural Differences
I don't hate sports, but I have a big problem with the culture of sports. This is a culture that encourages xenophobia (“I hate Philadelphia!”), glorifies the worst of the worst (“So, Warren Moon beat up his wife 20 or so times. He’s still an NBA superstar!”), and not only applauds but demands unadulterated violence (“Hit him again! Hit him with your hockey stick!”).

Dear Diary
Maybe you haven’t had a diary since you were 12 (and, as a woman over 40 that was a long, long time ago). But, chances are that even if you’re a guy, you might have kept a journal or “philosophical notebook” . Which is a fancy way of saying . . . diary. If you’re anything like me – an obsessive pack rat – you may even still have some of those “notebooks” lying around the house. And, I’ve got to tell you, they can be some interesting reading.
