Laurie: My most expensive-to-date jeans came with a written warning. Do they lift my butt? You bet. Do they tuck in my tummy? Yep. Can I breathe? Yes. Notice my priorities here – butt, tummy, oxygen. So what was the warning? The brand (I’m not advertising free for them after the price I paid)...

elizabeth: I don’t want anyone to think that I harbor any ill will towards the famers in this country or in the world for that matter. It’s just that alfalfa sprouts have never done anything to soothe a bitchy mood. And beets do not lead the pack when your man or woman has...

Laurie: I can’t believe I’m doing this but I have an appointment to visit my local Verizon store on Sunday. I held out as long as I could but I can no longer justify not having a phone that texts and holds all my sacred email. The one I currently have does have...

Laurie: I just heard that there are plans to build a mosque two blocks from where the World Trade Center used to be. Let the protests begin! Two city blocks from where over 3000 people lost their lives? How inconsiderate, how in your face, how ridiculous! Yes, the people who flew the planes...
