Okay, I’ve had it. I read something the other day that just roasted my corn.
It seems that Jillian Michaels, one of the trainers on TV’s ‘The Biggest Loser” and known for having probably T-H-E most smokin’ body on TV, is being lambasted for her conscious and rational decision not to get pregnant, her reason being that she does not want to ruin her body. Ms. Michaels has told interviewers that she struggled with being overweight when she was a child, and has worked incredibly hard throughout her life to achieve what she has now … T-H-E most smokin’ body on TV.

Even wonder what it would be like to rewrite history? You know; studying for that test that would have made you pass that class that would have gotten you into college? Or not getting in that car after that third drink?

What is it with people and texting? Yes, I do it sometimes (like when I’m voting for my favorite American Idol), but unless you’re communicating with your kid, my advice is to think twice – and then, don’t do it.

When I was growing up, my Aunt Lena had a small wooden sign over the inside of the bathroom door (back then, lots of houses only had one bathroom; remember?). The sign had a drawing of two toddlers, one male and one female, both looking down the front of their own diapers. And the sign said “There is a difference.” As a kid, it make me snicker – after all, we all thought bathroom humor was just something that kids practiced. But now, as an adult, I can see a lot deeper into the message of that sign. There is a difference. Especially when it comes to what I’ll call household etiquette.

I’m a sucker like everybody else when it comes to believing product claims – though I’m a little more cynical than most, having spent over a decade in advertising. So, as a service to my readers, I’m going to share those products that I have found to be all or more than they claim. In other works, I’m going to share my own “secret stash.” Read the rest of this entry »
