    We women talk A LOT about finding "balance." Well, maybe I should say "you." As someone who isn't married and doesn't have any kids, I don't know how most of you do it. I can't even balance my checkbook let alone kids' carpools and soccer games, date night, and 8 or more hours of work each day. If you've got kids, you're pretty much the Duggars to me.  Read more >

    I am a long time BlogHer member, but I also work for the personal finance blog GetRichSlowly.org.  Today I am posting on the behalf of GetRichSlowy.org because we're holding a video contest, and I want BlogHers to enter. Why?  Because YOU make 80% of all household buying and saving decisions. Because there aren't many easier ways to make $500 bucks! And because we don't have any entries from women yet.  Read more >

    A lot of people have been asking me about the best ways to keep track of the news coming out of the Democratic Convention in Denver. We all know you can watch cable news and read the major newspapers, but I decided to make a definitive list of the best alternative ways to follow the events of the DNC.  Read more >

    Damn, this is rough. Kind of like a scarlet letter except funnier. Anjeannette certainly seems to have taken it well, and I guess it could've been worse. The local press might've been forced to wear the Reno 911 badges.  Read more >

    Warning, I am pissed off and use language to reflect that.  It's a rant, but a fact-based rant.  One note, I am not referring to Christian conservatives who do not think their values are more important than a woman's right to contraception. It's amazing how timely the questions I asked BlogHer to ask Obama and McCain campaign representatives during a special session were (questions that were not asked by the way). Here are the questions I submitted to BlogHer:  Read more >

    This post about looking for "middle-aged" bloggers got me to thinking. First of all, what the hell is middle-age these days?  I'm almost 40 (less than a month to go!), and I spend less time thinking about age than I do about not being a mother in terms of blogging, as well as in general.  I'm not trying to start a war or anything, but sometimes, it's hard to be a non "mommy blogger" for a lot of reasons (monetary being one of them).  Don't get me wrong.  Read more >

    I started a new blog called "Things More Muslim than Obama" so that I could point out the ignorance and bigotry of those who insist on calling Obama a muslim.  Inherent in that characterization is the idea that being a muslim is a bad thing for America, not to mention the idea that all muslims are terrorists.  There are many more entries, but the entry below about the Rachel Ray scarf/keffiyeh incident was the first entry.  Please send the website to your friends to help point out how ridiculous and un-Americ  Read more >
