Can we all put the “Facebook privacy concerns” into perspective for one hot sec? Srsly. This isn’t passwords or credit card numbers or actual private information. This is information that users have made public on their profiles.
If you’re worried about someone seeing your private information, here’s a pro tip: Don’t post it on a public forum...
Tony doesn't like string cheese.
I’m worried this may be indicative of deeper psychological problems.
The United Methodist Church's stance on abortion...
A debate on Twitter about Catholic hospitals and their ban on pregnancy termination — even in the instance of life-threatening complications for the mother — made me think. I originally chose a Methodist hospital (I’ve since switched to a midwife practice that delivers at a community hospital, so it’s no longer an issue). But if I had given birth at a Methodist hospital,...

Did they break it off or what? I don’t remember any resolution.
I recently discovered the show "Man v. Food" on...
It’s a lot like the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,” only the host is way more likeable than the doucheriffic Guy Fieri, and every episode ends with some sort of ridiculous food challenge that involves inhuman portions of meat or dangerously spicy food.
Watching it is like a digestive roller coaster. I alternate between extreme hunger and sympathetic...

The Ronald Reagan Expressway — outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana — is rough, uneven, and in dire need of repaving. Local residents, however, have informed me to wait 20 years and I’m likely to remember the drive as being much better than it actually was.
He’s funny.
My dog just caught a fly mid-air and ate it.
At first I was all, “That was amazing!” Then he started pacing and whining like he was scared. Then he curled up in a ball in the corner looking at me like he’d just done something terribly wrong.
Come on, Howie. Man up. It’s not cool if you act like a weirdo about it.

This baby is affecting my brain in some wacky ways. The other day, I had to ask Tony how to spell tomorrow. That’s right. Not only did I forget how to spell a word that appears on 3rd grade spelling tests, but I forgot long enough that I had to ASK SOMEONE. I am the person people ask...

I see myself having kids someday, my mom has always said it’ll be the last thing I tick off my to-do list and she is probably right. That said, these essays from the child-free are very interesting. I identify more with these women than the baby crazed moms I know.

What a horrible movie. And the image of Kevin Costner’s naked buttocks is forever burned into my memory. As if I wasn’t nauseated enough.
Don’t make the same mistake I did. Watch “Braveheart” instead.

I’m no fan of Rupert Murdoch, but I think this theory is more than a little paranoid. Call me naive if you want, but I don’t believe that reporters are participating in a vast conspiracy to make TBS look bad. I really don’t.
FOX News is a different story, but I still have faith that the print media aren’t guilty of conspiracy to make another media outlet...
