When I was a teenager, instant messaging was up-and-coming. Nearly everyone I knew logged on every night to chat about had happened at school that day. Who had worn what? Who had done what? Who had sneaked out of her house that weekend? So I'd ... Read more

Bad gifts are often thought to be the specialty of boyfriends and husbands, but last Christmas, my mother-in-law outdid even the worst of thoughtless exes. This woman, who will openly admit that she is not skilled in the area of gift giving, decided ... Read more

I once had a friend who endlessly swore to her boyfriend that she never went "number two." Never, ever. She was obviously fooling no one. While nobody likes to talk about it except for middle school boys and grown men that think they're middle school ... Read more

I've heard rumors that the holidays are supposed to be relaxing. Rumors, I say. Allegedly, there were people sitting somewhere in front of a fire, roasting chestnuts while cozy beneath a down-filled throw. Allegedly. There are also tales floating ... Read more
