Why Facebook Sucks For Your Sex Life
Checking that status on Facebook every few days, or every few hours? Waiting to see if he (or she) switches from “single” to “in a relationship?” Able to see that the honey-of-your-dreams is online, but won’t respond to your chat requests? Feeling forlorn because you think it’s over before it’s even begun? And I’m not […]
I think I can, I think I can…
I feel like the little engine that could! It’s been weeks and weeks of trying to copy my (rather hefty) content over to my new dot com planet – and a HUGE shout out to J for many offers of help and many hours of email hand-holding AND emailing on my behalf that resulted in […]
Generosity: More than a Time of Year
Have you started getting those solicitation letters from your Alma Mater? Or from a variety of charitable organizations asking you for money?

Singles, couples, families, single parents – even our kids – we’re all running ourselves ragged with schedules […]
Decision Points: Digital Nation Link
A quick link, with more views regarding “online time,” technology, and parenting. How parents are serving as models. Things we need to know. Decisions – thoughtful ones – by parents, for their relationships. Here’s a clip I liked from Frontline’s Digital Nation Correspondent Douglas Rushkoff, talking about technology and his young daughter. Be sure to […]
Time online: symptom, solution, or nothing new?
I’ve been thinking about recent discussion and comments concerning our kids’ online time. They text, chat, spend hours on Facebook. Frankly – who knows what they’re doing some of the time. And I’ve been considering the remarks that many of us have made about our own (possibly excessive) use of our communication tools and social […]
Candy’s dandy, but…
We all know the expression. Candy’s dandy but liquor’s quicker. Cute, if you’re a consenting adult, but what if you’re a teenager? How susceptible are our kids to sweet-talking, seemingly safe friendships that often begin with faceless technology? Do our kids really know who they’re dealing with? Do we? Or have we lost touch, as […]
