Are You Too Demanding in Relationships? (Man Up)
WORDS BY TIA They say most women subconsciously attract men that remind them of their first loves (Daddy) and I definitely attribute my desire for the Alpha male in the pack to my father. I remember as a little girl my dad sneaking past me in the early hours of the morning so he wouldn’t [...]
What If You Were Ugly For a Day? (A Question of Beauty)
Pretty girls have a warped sense of reality. Generally speaking, they don’t have to work for much. Because of their looks, people tend to do things for them or give them a pass.

I Got Fired Today (My Farewell Address)
Two years ago today I got laid off from my old job.

Anyway, piggybacking off the “What’s Your Favorite Stereotype?” post from last week, I want to key in on one in particular: [...]
The Last Time I Cried Was… (A Man’s Tears)
eek before last was the 24th anniversary of my grandfather’s death. In remembrance of him and that milestone I wrote about how sometimes I get this overwhelming urge to go back to the house I grew up in. My grandfather’s death has weighed heavy on my heart for some time now and I’ve always felt [...]
