I know there are people out there who love winter the very most. There might not be very many of them, but surely they exist. For the rest of us, winter is something we deal with and try to have a good attitude about (mostly failing) while we freeze and dig out our cars and...

We’ve all looked at a picture we have and wished we could tweak it a little after the fact. Maybe a slip is showing, maybe we don’t like our shoes or our hair, maybe we’ve had a falling out or a breakup with someone else in the image… Thanks to Photoshop and people who are...

For anyone who has never lived in a small town, there’s kind of a mystique around the entire experience, don’t you think?

If you’re looking at any of these 16 items, though, people who have bought them say never fear – they have paid for themselves over...

In America, we can tend to be a little bit self-centered. We complain about our school lunches – whether they’re too healthy or not healthy enough – and even deny them sometimes to kids who really need them. We probably don’t think much about what lunches are like other places, though, but sometimes comparisons can...

Anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship can tell you that it’s not easy at all. Life comes at you, people change, and through it all, you’ve got to decide to keep going forward with the same dang person. Of course, that person can choose to make it easier or harder, and for...

Have you ever felt as if you just had to do something or say something, just because you identify as a female? What about if you identify as a man? I mean, we all know that gender doesn’t mean anything, but sometimes it really seems like we let it define us. That’s the premise behind...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that traditional gender roles and activities and behaviors associated with each are under attack from all sides – probably because they are nonsense and your reproductive organs really have no bearing on how you act or what you enjoy doing, right? Twitter in particular has...

Anyone who has been married will tell you that the days, weeks, months, and years are just made up of moments – some of them are challenging, others are sweet, still more are funny, and together, they build into the memories you take forward. The funny moments are the ones that can keep you going...

I don’t know about you, but I don’t understand people who don’t enjoy learning about history.

They say that in life, you get what you pay for. I think that in many ways and in a lot of situations, that’s totally true – but not always. There are always bargains to be had, right? Likewise, there are things that no one should have to pay for – things that we should...

No matter how smart you are, how well you excelled at school, there are bound to be things you wish could have been different.
