John Mayer: Friend or Foe????

relationship-advice

You may be surprised to see a gal like me (who is all "Go women!" in life) ask this question. But, shouldn't we be fair and look at both sides of the story before declaring someone a D-bag? I say yes!

Johnny boy gets such a bad rap but what has he really done to warrant such animosity? Are we all just haters because we wish we could have him but know we can't?...

Hot & Bothered (But not in the way you think...)

relationship-advice

All this talking about sex (see prior post) has me hot and bothered...But NOT in a sexual way.

I grew up in the Midwest and spent many years entrenched in a religious community that believed men were the kings of the house (as God was the master of man) and that it was a woman's job to please him. And there was some pretty strong scripture to back up this belief.

Why I DON'T Hate Taylor Swift

music

I know it may sound like a silly thing to read, especially to those who have never gone up against the Music Biz Beast and thus have never been defeated by it, but I feel it's an important statement to declare. Why?

Because of this: Many of Taylor's predecessors, as in super-successful-teenage-pop-stars, like Brittany or Christina, have been pretty much loathed by the music community...

Thank You vs Sorry...and what it says about you

relationship-advice

Say you and a random stranger arrive at an entrance way simultaneously and only one of you can fit through the door at a time. What do you do?

Then, say the other person steps back and offers you entry first. Do you say "Thank you" and walk through, or "I'm sorry" and smile nervously with your head down, attempting to pass as quickly as possible so as not to inconvenience anyone? Or, do...
