Calendar Girl
Thursday, March 7th, 2013
I’ve got an iPhone and I use it to keep track of all the stuff I want to remember – grocery lists, appointments, deadlines. Probably most people have some sort of gadget – or maybe even DayTimer (time machine alert!) so they don’t miss things.
So, tell me: if I can’t memorize my own schedule, why the hell does Gary expect me to remember his? (more…)

Future Perfect
Saturday, October 6th, 2012
As I write this post, I know I’m going to get blowback. But here I go anyway.
Scientists have just recently reported that, through stem cell research, they have determined it is possible to not only create eggs from a woman’s own stem cells (meaning you’ll literally never run out of eggs and can reproduce forever – ugh).

Pass Me the Coke
Thursday, October 13th, 2011
Twenty years ago you couldn’t say “Coke” without making someone snicker and picture pubic hair on a Coke can. Yes, it’s been two decades since Anita Hill was dragged through the mud for coming forward with her story of sexual harassment and Clarence Thomas was confirmed to a lifetime position on the Supreme Court, despite Anita’s testimony about his perverse nature (much of which has since been independently confirmed). Wherever you stand on that piece of history may be colored by your own history: if you’ve been a victim of harassment (and I’m going to guess most women over 40 have been at one time or another) or if you’re a harasser yourself. . .
