QotD: My Thoughts on Prenups

nobody@vox.com(librarian) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 15:06:07 -0400

Would you sign a prenuptial agreement? Why or why not? Submitted by Lantastic. Er... would I? Too late - I married my husband on July 31, 2004. No prenup. We were (and are) too broke and too darned trusting to have bothered with one. Plus, well...

nobody@vox.com(librarian) — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 01:04:41 -0400

What are you going to do with your tax return? Submitted by KB. Er, what tax return? My husband and I owed Federal taxes this year, big time. New York State refunded us a good chunk of change... which then got used to help pay off our Federal t...

Show us some before-and-after pictures. Submitted by She Blogs! Okay, I'll go for my classic "before and after": my 55-pound weight loss of September 2005-June 2006. I dropped from 210 (before) to 155 (after). Of course, I ended up falling ...

QotD: Pickup Artist

nobody@vox.com(librarian) — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 00:01:45 -0500

What's the worst pickup line you've ever heard? Submitted by ShellEy. Oh! Oh! I've been told a good one! Back in my undergrad, very early 20-something days, some poor, deluded guy (I can't remember his name, when, why, etc.) once told me that ...
