I've been receiving shocking emails lately, forwarded from friends about the NuvaRing causing ER visits and deaths due to blood clots. I'm not sure if you've heard any of this, but I thought it'd be a good idea to do a little research and set the record straight.

Toby Jones, owner/driver/junk specialist, is my new hero. (Sorry, Ahhh-lene and Chaw-lie!) Not only does he take the mystery out of decluttering, he makes it look fun! Most especially, I love the way he says the long-ass name of his cool-ass company: Jones Big ASS Truck Rental and Storage. He drags "Jooones" out just perfectly at every time! Charm, my friends — you can't fake it.

Biggest Headlines of 2008: The Long Tale (Tail?) of the First Puppy-to-Be PetSugar can't think of any other dog that's been more anticipated by the general population than the yet-to-be chosen, announced, named, or introduced addition to the Obama family. If we're all so excited, wanting to share our opinions for their pet, can you imagine what lil Sasha and Malia are feeling?! PetSugar backtracked to round up some of her fave posts about one of the Biggest Headlines of 2008.
Animated Hitch Critters (they also come in bass, dog, hog and duck form) are supposed to "give your trailer hitch a sense of humor," "provide a third brake light for added traffic safety" and maybe even start conversations with other riders. I wonder, though, how many accidents this thing has gotten people into as they strain their eyes to figure out what that flashing, waving thing is hitched to the back of the car in front of them. It's only a matter of time. (And this is from SkyMall, natch!)
I have a friend who is a very sweet person, but has the rather unsavory habit of wanting to know where I buy my clothing, jewelry, and shoes, and on several occasions, she's gone out and bought the exact same things! She's done this to other girlfriends as well, but has a particular need to ask about everything I'm wearing. The copying issue is one thing (isn't this unspoken girl code?) but the outfit interrogation has become out of hand. I've tried to be vague about the whereabouts of certain things, but it doesn't seem to be working. How do I gently let her know that this is not a cool habit?

Detroit's major newspapers the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News will no longer greet residents on their front porches every morning, as these papers are the first in the US to end daily home delivery. The newspapers decided to cut service down to three days a week, thanks to the cost of ink, fuel, and paper. Since 2002, both papers have seen about a 20 percent decrease in circulation.
Newspaper delivery boys and girls (or adults) will still be able to make a dime on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. In addition, print addicts can pick up a tangible copy at the newsstand. For $12 a month, subscribers will get the three day delivery service, as well as a daily email delivery. The papers can also be read online. It doesn't sound so bad!
Considering the popularity of email, maybe home mail delivery will be the next to go, requiring everyone to go to the post office when they need to pick up an item.
