Is 30 the New Deadline for Marriage? {Lemondrop}

Nov 4th 2010 1:26PM What all these varying opinions mean, in the end, is that children, marriage, are decisions, events, that are not to be taken lightly. If you're already thinking about the divorce, for instance, you are probably either not ready to marry, or have not found the right person. Do you feel like "more" who you are with your partner, or less? If it's less, then you haven't found the right person. Wait. Same with kids, home ownership, all those things. If you aren't emotionally and financially ready for kids, hold off (and use birth control -- please). None of these things automatically "make" you an adult. Being an adult is not "taking on responsibility" as much as it's "taking responsibility" -- for your actions, your life's directions, even your mistakes.

Is 30 the New Deadline for Marriage? {Lemondrop}

Nov 4th 2010 1:08PM Although I always wanted to find a great relationship, I was raised a bit differently than many women of my generation. My mother had six kids, so none of us had unrealistic ideas of how hard raising kids could be. So in my family, the girls really put off marriage and childbearing. I figured I'd be single all of my life, and was kind of proud of that -- but then met my husband in grad school when I was 41. Neither of us had ever married and so finding each other was all the more unexpected and wonderful. Marriage, when you're good and ready for it, and have the right person, is no ball and chain. My life is so much better with him. I never wanted children all that badly (I'm a great auntie, though), so that delay wasn't much of an issue with me -- except that when I finally met such a wonderful man, I could see how it would be an attractive idea. Made all the difference for me. Anyway, we've passed 11 years now, and I hope it will be much longer. But marrying late, we can't take anything for granted -- we don't have decade upon decade to spend. I wouldn't have done it any differently: he was, indeed, the one I was waiting for. Personally, I always found these deadlines to be rather silly -- as long as you're not also putting off the rest of your life, too! Live, do, be (as sentimental as that sounds) -- and hopefully, your life will give you the things you wanted, or reveal to you, along the way, the things you needed even more.

The Sexiest and Strangest Vintage Ads From Decades Past {Asylum}

Apr 19th 2010 3:45PM The "Blow in her Face" line was also a play on a popular line from Rowan and Martin's "Laugh-In' -- the comedy show that made Goldie Hahn, among others, famous. Dick Martin (who self-described his character as "an inept lech") was always saying to women, "Blow in my ear and I'll follow you anywhere." Eventually, like "Sock It To Me," it became such a running joke and catch-phrase on the show -- and with people on the streets -- that it became, well, what we'd call "viral" these days...

Hollywood's 10 Most Eeeeevil Actors {Moviefone Blog}

Feb 19th 2010 11:42AM I'm with you. Good or bad guy, love him, and, like you, particularly loved him in Sense and Sensibility.

Is It OK to Change Your Baby's Name? {Lemondrop}

Feb 12th 2010 1:56PM Actually, while a baby won't "remember," don't you think a change in his name, the thing he has learned by six months means "him" might be a bit confusing, or create some identity issue? I've always wondered.

Hot Milk Lingerie Makes Pregnancy Sexy {ParentDish}

Sep 23rd 2009 12:26PM I like that this discussion brings about some education along with it. Americans are very squeamish about pregnancy, like it was something to be ashamed of. Other countries grace their magazines with photos of pregnant women quite often. And I've heard a lot of men comment that pregnant women have a sexiness to them (maybe not the reader, but them). It's biological, folks. Thank you to all the folks explaining about the nursing bra and how things really work. And I agree, sometimes a woman wants to wear sweats and sneakers and be comfortable, sometimes she wants to wear some black lace and have fun. Don't all of you have different moods different days?? Cool that a real, (brave!), pregnant model got a job like this...

PEZ tries to eat up one of its biggest supporters {WalletPop}

Jul 16th 2009 8:01AM This is so unfortunate and silly. I agree with the person below that wonders if the collectors even make their San Francisco rent off the place. It reminds me of going down near Independence, KS recently to visit the actual site of "The Little House on the Prairie." It's a tiny attraction, with a cabin built on the Ingalls site, with other related items in a tiny gift shop -- and they are currently being sued by the producer's of the TV show for violation of property rights on the name! I understand that companies have to legally protect their copyrights and trademarks, etc., but why not support these small groups and businesses that only help the bottom line. It's absurd. Why not become a sponsor of the PEZ museum, a sponsor of the Ingalls site... It's absurd and out of hand.

Stay away from power tools as "guy gifts" {Stylelist}

Nov 30th 2007 1:53AM Annalisa, Your father's book DOES look like a good gift for a few "writer" types I know (male and female). I'll probably buy a few copies -- thanks!

Moviefone/Cinematical Celebrity Crushes {Cinematical}

Mar 6th 2007 1:12PM Ooh, I second Deborah's vote for Alan Rickman -- that voice, those eyes....I was just watching him in "Sense and Sensibility" last week and remembered how perfectly scrumptious he was...you go, Deborah!

Moviefone/Cinematical Celebrity Crushes {Cinematical}

Mar 6th 2007 12:11PM Gerard Depardieu, ever since I saw him in "Green Card." I find the the intensity, intelligence, bad-boy, good-heart cased in the decidedly non-matinee-idol form irresistable. I also find Harvey Keitel strangely attractive. Yeah, weird, I know. But ever since his romantic intensity (see a pattern?) in "The Piano," I can't resist. I think I may have a think for guys with broken noses. My husband's nose is, to date, still unbroken, but as for banked passion, underplayed intensity, great humor, and awesome intelligence...he takes the award every time!
