Please to be Interventioning Me

First off, let me say that I’m not a fan of McDonald’s. Other than the Southwestern salad, I find their food largely unappetizing. Now, that doesn’t mean I won’t eat a fry or two because okay…their fries are pretty tasty. But the burgers are weird and have little hard things in them and the nuggets, [...]

Besties or Groupsies?

Should Adults Be Tinkering with Kids’ Friendships? I just read an interesting post today on Blogher about kids and best friends. In a nutshell, some don’t think it’s healthy for kids to have strong friendships with one person or, I suppose, a limited number of people and that adults (teachers, camp counselors etc) should intervene [...]

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?

This is just a little love note to my readers and even more so, to my commenters. I don’t give anyone much of a reason to come back here on a regular or even semi-regular basis. I know that. But you guys are always here for me, regardless. You lift me up when I’m down, [...]

iFrogz EarPollution CS-40 Headphones

I’ll tell you right now that I don’t like ear buds that much. They fall out a lot when I’m wearing my iPod and moving around and I can never fully relax when I have them in. That said, when the chance to review EarPollution CS-40′s headphones from iFrogz presented itself, I jumped at it. [...]

The Ex-Mrs. Hedgefund

The Ex-Mrs. Hedgefund mysteriously appeared in my mailbox one day. I assume it was a review copy from a publisher that has sent me books before. I get so much PR email that I can’t remember if I agreed to review it or not but I found the description compelling enough to take a gander [...]
