Ten Things You Should Stop Doing On Facebook

Every now and then, I like to get on my soap box and complain about Facebook etiquette. It’s been a little while; so I’m back with a new list of pet peeves. Some are retreads of previous complaints. Others are new. There’s certainly a chance I may alienate some of my own Facebook friends by …

The Ten Worst Husbands, Boyfriends, and Significant Others from ‘The Real Housewives’

Not too long ago, I published my lists of the ten best and worst women from the Real Housewives franchise.

Ranking The Ten Worst ‘Real Housewives’ Housewives

Ranking the ten worst Real Housewives was surprisingly difficult for me as I discovered that many of the people I deemed “the worst” were actually cast members who I loved.

The only problem was that the woman behind me would not. stop. talking. I’m telling you, she chatted incessantly, oversharing her entire life to virtual strangers. Thankfully, she wasn’t …

Top Ten GOOD Ina-isms

Starting tomorrow, the Food Network will be airing brand new episodes of The Barefoot Contessa, and in honor of this GOOD event, I’ve decided to rank my top ten “Ina-isms” — those familiar phrases Ina Garten employs time and time again, much to my continued entertainment.
