Jobs & Careers > Employers Should employers monitor employees' Internet use?: 5 of 63
Employees have an obligation to their employers to perform the job they were hired to do. Let's face it - unless your job requires surfing the Internet, it is a waste of productivity and the company's money to be doing so.

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Banning smoking in public areas: 12 of 100

There is no lack of evidence supporting the fact that both cigarette smoking and second hand smoke are detrimental to your health.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Feeding & Breastfeeding Deciding whether to breastfeed or not: 4 of 30
When I was pregnant with my first child, I knew immediately that I was not going to breastfeed. The women in my Lamaze class, friends at work, and even some family members told me that I should, but I knew in my heart I just couldn't do it. It wasn't for me. I did all of the research, saw the statistics, and still decided tha... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Easter Easter: Should children be limited in the amount of chocolate they eat?: 2 of 12
As a child, my parents had a hard time making ends meet. We rarely had candy in the house - it was a treat reserved for special occasions.

Health & Fitness > Cancer Cell phone use and cancer: Is there a link?: 1 of 5
If you look hard enough, you can find a link between any two items. I could write a compelling tale explaining that ice cream is the cause for rape. Ridiculous? If you look at the data, it's not as far fetched as it seems. Most rapes occur in the summer months - ice cream sales are at their highest in the summer. If you look ... More..
Relationships & Family > Relatives How to stop relatives from meddling in your personal affairs: 7 of 32

It's a fact in most families, relatives feel they have an unalienable right to meddle. The thought is that since you are related, you should share every intimate detail of your life with each other, and give commentary and suggestions. In large families, they gossip about other family members. There are no secrets, and, just ... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should homosexuals receive all the rights and benefits of marriage?: 40 of 130
If I were to say that two blind people shouldn't marry because they could possibly produce a blind child, I would be called a bigot. There is no difference in telling people that are disabled that they cannot marry than telling a gay couple they may not. Of course, in our society, it is entirely ok to tell homosexuals that th...

I was a career girl until a year and a half ago. I had a challenging career as vice president of sales. At the age of 38, I became a homemaker while pregnant with my youngest child. I don't think that culture shock begins to describe what I went through during the transition, it was a difficult at best. Being a homemaker is a... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Subcultures The outlaw description of bikers is not justified: 1 of 2

When you say "biker" to mainstream middle Americans, they are sure to conjure pictures of leather-clad miscreants doing evil deeds while riding astride their motorcycles. They imagine loud drunken brawls in seedy bars. The stereotype of a biker is an unclean outlaw, who has little regard for social norms. Where did this stere... More..

One of my greatest joys in life is entertaining. I love conceiving the them, creating the menu, and I love cooking. I think that's the key to throwing a fabulous party.
