Ok, so I have a wedding to go to in May, and I’ve been trying to lose some weight to make sure I can fit into the one formal dress that I have. I’ve been really good about not pigging out, and I’ve been jogging and going to the gym regularly. And yet, I [...]
I don’t know about you, but I really cannot stand Craigslist Crusaders. This is the name I’ve given to the folks on Craigslist who constantly flag ads for removal in the freelance writing gigs section of the site. They go after ads that offer what they consider to be “insulting” pay rates, such as $3.50 [...]

The latest alleged “ethics violation” stems from the fact that Palin friends and supporters set up a fund to secure donations to help defray legal expenses incurred by Palin because of — you guessed it — frivolous [...]
I just got done reading Jeffrey Zaslow’s book The Girl From Ames. It had been on the New York Times Bestseller list for weeks, so I decided to find out what it was about. When I read that it chronicled the 40-year friendship of a group of 11 girls from Ames, IA, I ordered it [...]
