Would you let your 17 or 18, or 19-year old daughter, and her boyfriend, share a bed if he slept over your house? Let’s back up – would you ever even let your daughters boyfriend sleep over your house?
Bad Bedside Manner: Why Background Checks Are Important
I had to have dermatological surgery last week. I’m okay; it’s just another mole gone rogue. When my (new) dermatologist referred me to a particular surgeon, I didn’t question the recommendation. Come to think of it, I didn’t do much of a background check on my new dermatologist either, because she was in my insurance network.
Don’t Let The Ex-Wife Tell You That You’re Not Family
I need to take a moment and give pseudonyms to those that I am constantly writing and ranting about. From now on my boyfriend will be called, Reny (short for Renaldo), his daughter is Laura, and son is Luke. Yes, that was done intentionally and yes, I think its hysterical. Move on.
My Terrifying Journey on J-Date… Oy!
These are some actual J-Date e-mails that I received when I was on the site, looking for a man. To amuse myself, I commented on the e-mails (but I never sent them).

Thank you, Clementine. Youre the best.
Do You Speak Blended Family Shorthand?
I will admit that it was only recently that I learned what LMFAO stood for.
Judy Blume Taught Me About Sex
I was up early to meet my Pilates client on the upper east side. I hopped on the 6 train, and just for the record, getting on the subway during the morning rush hour is like taking part in the running of the bulls. You can easily get gorged in the behind if youre not careful.
Could Your Kids Pee in the Woods if They Had To?
I was listening to some parenting expert the other day (and really, arent all parents experts?), and the woman was commenting on how kids dont know how to be bored. If they ARE bored, they dont know how to entertain themselves without the use of technology. I loved this scene from Judd Apatow’s “This is 40″… Debbie: We have decided to cut back on all of the electronics we use. Sadie: What?
The Truth About Orgasms
What’s the difference between vaginal and clitoral orgasms? Is there even a difference? The answers may surprise you. Let’s start this somewhat sensitive discussion with a brief anatomy lesson:
