Relationship Protocol: Who's Better at Remembering Your Anniversary?
My parent's 32nd wedding anniversary is next week and although my dad may not be the best at remembering to pick up trash bags at the grocery store, he's good at remembering the important things like birthdays and anniversaries. It was my mom this year who actually said to me midsentence on a completely separate topic, "Oh my gosh, it's our anniversary next week, I almost forgot!!" So ladies, even if you don't make a big deal out of your anniversary, who tends to remember it most, you or your significant other?

Do You Like the Holidays?
The weather in San Francisco has been so sunny and warm lately that it's strange to think the holiday season is upon us. Now that Halloween has passed, we can expect to see decorations all around reminding us that we need to make plans for Thanksgiving and eventually start our holiday gift shopping.
Of course, the holidays aren't all about entertaining and shopping — ideally they're about spending quality time with family and friends, eating delicious dishes, and enjoying our other favorite festive traditions.
Colbert's Solution For the "Pre-existing Condition" Conundrum
Forget going to your reps on Capitol Hill to remind them that a woman is not a preexisting condition. So what if a toddler who barely has preexistence is denied health insurance because, at a healthy weight of 22 pounds, she's deemed too skinny? Leave the poor health insurance companies aloooone!
He Doesn't Seem to Listen? Blame His Brain
I've been lucky to have boyfriends who didn't just love talking like I do, but who were good listeners, too. Maybe they were in the minority, or maybe they worked hard to overcome what many scientists say is a male brain hardwired to keep conversation short and informational.
Compared to women's brains, researchers conclude that men's brains not only have fewer verbal centers, but their brains produce less serotonin and oxytocin.
Do You Think You're Emotionally Intelligent?
In some ways, this is a trick question, because if you're not emotionally intelligent — defined very broadly as someone "particularly good at establishing positive social relationships with others, and avoiding conflicts, fights, and other social altercations" — you might think you are anyway!
But October is Emotional Intelligence month, and it seemed a good time to remind people, as Emotional Intelligence author Daniel Goleman claims in his book subtitle, that "it can matter more than IQ." We've all known the brilliant boss or friend who had a horrible temper or little ability to empathize and couldn't figure out why, in the case of the boss, no one ever stuck around for long, or, in the case of the friend, people had to break up with them they were so toxic.
