Can manufacturers of beauty products survive the constant onslaught of criticism? Apparently the answer is yes. Create a product and they will come. Advertise with the celeb du jour and they will come in droves. Promise it will take years...

At this time of year some of us are confronted with a myriad of challenges. Your spring/summer lighter seasonal clothing comes out, but…oh my….will it fit? One could blame it on the freshman 15, but not having been to college...

Oh so very sad. Dame Edna and Michael Feinstein couldn’t pull it off. Can you imagine? Oh my, the uncoupling of an unlikely couple. So, I ask you. Who came up with that idea to begin with? My quick guess...

Thumbing through a magazine I picked up at the doctor's office, I got to thinking about the life choices I make.  I think the magazine was called something along the lines of " Your Most Extreme Outdoor Life Ever." I...

in the bedroom? Right. In bed. Eco friendly sex. Who knew? Reduce the carbon footprint. Save the planet one orgasm at a time. Every imaginable device, eco date idea, recipes that work as an aphrodisiac, to name but a few,...

How much do you think a Ruckus is worth? It seems pretty evident that a good many States are frantically trying to figure out how to bring in more revenue by taxing just about anything. And I mean anything. Clowns. Clowns? ...

Move over Judge Judy. There's a new kid in town. His name is Robert Hansen and he's a Psychic.  Not only can he get in contact with the dearly departed, he apparently can settle disputes between those still here and those...

No, I am not talking about your inflexibility. Nor am I talking about your being adamant about holding on to your point of view.  Nope, I am back to the latest use of Botox.  Apparently, Botox is more much versatile...

"Or, physically demonstrate that…" That's what I would have said to you, as I always thought that's how I learned stuff.  "Just, tell me, and I will get it"… apparently, not so much. So sad to learn that. My well...

Checking emails. Easy. Delete or respond. Respond later, waver about deleting. Get pissed at friends who request that you forward their epistle to everyone else in your address book, definitively not the definition of what friends should do. But, for...

Not that. Knowing where to go and what to do next. Or ants. Them too. I have to believe that both species of bug must have teeny tiny cell phones with teeny tiny apps giving them their marching orders. Just...

Remember these? Still have a pair somewhere in your box of memorablia? Nestled, perhaps, next to your slinky, mouseketeer ears, and pogo stick. I don’t. But, I am pretty certain that I am going to save the current 3D frames...

About aging? Beats the alternative…pops into my head, bada boom. How so ever, this very serious question has been posed and answered by two psychotherapists in their newly published book “Face It: What Women Really Feel as Their Looks Change.”...

"..and you wouldn't believe how Gladys was dressed. Really, the Wreck of the Hesperus."  "Wait, wait I thought. I know that one. The wreck of the Hesperus. Because of an impending hurricane, the father ties his daugther to the ship's mast...

Have you ever had this experience?  For a brief and fleeting moment, your eyes locked, you held each others gaze, you started to speak, but then, oh no, the doors closed, the moment passed, finished, over, done. Me neither. Not...

"And what did he say to that?" I asked, knowing this was my first mistake. "It wasn't what he said, it was what he didn't say," she lamented. I'll bite, I think. "Okay, what was it that you would have...

"Since I was a kid, I've always had a thing for really slender women" he stated. "But", he added as an addendum "about average is okay, too."  And therein is the rub. What, exactly, in this instance, did he mean...

No, not back to my set point or goal weight, I'm so over that.  It's the business brag, "I've made my numbers…" sentiment, which baffles me. Really, if uttered by Warren Buffett, this might hold some meaning for me. From...

I'll remind you. Last seen she was dealing with her unfortunate diagnosis of incontinence. Oh dear. Help, apparently, was on the way in the form of a Botox injection aimed strategically and carefully at her bladder. Depends no more. Her...

Game, Match? No. The purported number that your body thinks you should, might, have, soon to return to, once upon a time weighed. If our collective memories are somewhat challenged, why is that particular area of the brain so razor...
