August 9, 2012 I am a big fan of the Guinness Book of World Records, it is just something I followed since I was a kid. I even made some attempts at breaking world records and even came close one time in blowing the biggest bubble of bubble gum.
Happy "Divorce Month"! Let's... celebrate? According to the legal website FindLaw, for the past few years, searches for "divorce" and related terms like "family law" and "child custody" spiked in January and continued to rise through March, with actual divorce filings peaking during this month. Why all the breaking up this time of year?
Finally, a candidate who really stands out! Well, mostly because he's a cat. Hank, a 9-year-old street cat from Springfield Virginia, is running for U.S. Senate. Hank announced his candidacy earlier this month, taking on former Virginia governors, George Allen and Tim Kaine
Break ups are hard enough. What makes them even worse is when your awful ex leaves behind all his crap. Staring at your former lovers belongings is a constant reminder of what once was and now is no longer. Sure, you could give it to charity, or just go ahead and purge it. I've even known some particularly pissed off exes who held bonfire celebrations-- with the kindling being their former partner's old stuff. And what do you do with the stuff he gave you that you no longer want? Sure, you might be fine with throwing away some things like the stuffed penguin he won you at the fair before he turned into the biggest jerk ever... but what about that engagement ring? Eeeek. Well, there's a new website that helps you get rid of all the stuff from your past relationship and turn a profit.
February 24, 2012 It's that time of year again! Lent! And for all of the good Catholics out there, it's the time to give up something that means a lot to them (as a form of penance? I honestly don't know what Lent is about other than giving up things. Do people who
Paying someone to date you.... um, isn't there already a name for that? SeekingArrangment.com calls itself "The # 1 Sugar Daddy Dating Site", matching "respectful and generous" Sugar Daddies with "attractive, intelligent, ambitious and goal oriented" Sugar Babies. Oh, and the Daddies pay the Babies an agreed upon monthly amount. Yep, like an allowance. Is this creepy to any one else?
It's 6 am. Your head is pounding. You can only find one shoe. There are several questions you may have: Why did I think mixing cosmopolitans with PBR and red wine was a good idea? Who is this guy? How can I get of here without waking up whoever he is? Perhaps most importantly, how am I getting home? Ahh, the walk of shame. An enterprising University of Michigan student has provided those that live in the Ann Arbor area an answer for that last question: The Walk of Shame Shuttle.
February 17, 2012 I've never hid my hatred for the abomination of a show that is "Toddlers & Tiaras". Turns out that I'm not the only one that doesn't like it.
It seems Anderson Cooper isn't huge fan of the show, either, and decided that he needed to show some of the moms from the show how ridiculous some of the things they do to their children are. So, on Friday, Anderson had four moms and their pageant queen daughters on the show.
What happened next is both amusing and completely horrifying. The mothers were all given makeovers to look like their daughters do when they're all dressed up for a pageant.
February 11, 2012 Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and relationship site YourTango.com has declared the second annual: "Break up with Your Ex Day".
According to the people at YourTango, 48 percent of people (including married people) still look at their ex's Facebook page and other social media. The solution is, apparently, a national day to unfriend your ex.
With Valentine's Day approaching, love is in the air. Even, it seems, in the courtroom. This week a Florida judge ruled that a man involved in a scuffle with his wife take her out for a romantic dinner at Red Lobster, followed by some bowling.
February 10, 2012 Pizza Hut has been an innovator in the pizza chain world for as long as they've been around, but I think they've really outdone themselves this time!
This year, Pizza Hut has decided to get into the proposal business. Don't want to figure out the most romantic way to pop the question to your lady? That's cool, just order your proposal kit from the fine folks at Pizza Hut.
According to a new survey, your choice of smart phone says a lot about your sex life. Match.com polled more than 1,000 singles and found, among other things, that Android users are more likely to hook up on the first date and partake in one night stands. What do think about that, Android users?!
