You’ve heard of cops engaging in high-speed chases to catch criminals. Then OJ Simpson made the low-speed chase a new buzz word when he was avoiding arrest. The concept can be applied to dating, although it is not to avoid incarceration. It might be to avoid entanglement, but it also might be a sound strategy for engagement. »more»

Last week I ran into several friends who were going through challenging times and feeling blue. We all have our days and those certain times in our lives that can feel like a struggle.

my wife of 24 years left one week ago. Beginning last november she was displaying signs of an emotional relationship with a co-worker which she denied to me, and the children and family.

This is one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. This song has to be about MLC, depression, divorce, etc. It starts with a male voice on the left and the female voice on the right. After the crosses, the sides switch.

I had never heard the term "emotional affair" before I stumbled over it in an online article about a month ago. When I read the column, I sat at my computer in numb recognition, followed by a sense of grief and horror. I was in one and I hadn't realized what it was or how dangerous and painful it was going to be. »more»

When I graduated college many years ago the economy was in the dumps, unemployment was up as was inflation, pollution was out of control and in the past few years we had 2 major oil crises. Oh, yeah, we were locked in a cold war with an enemy that could kill us 100 times over. I don't remember anyone apologizing to us or our generation demanding or expecting one either. »more»

The complete title is "I Hate People!: Kick Loose from the Overbearing and Underhanded Jerks at Work and Get What You Want Out of Your Job" and it is certainly not your typical business book. The overall premise is that no matter how large or small your organization you are almost certainly going to have to deal with people you can't stand. »more»

That's exactly what "The Marriage-Go-Round: The State of Marriage and the Family in America Today" by Andrew J. Cherlin is all about.
