New Year’s Eve (Again)
Remember this? http://datingandothermyths.com/2007/12/29/new-years-eve/ Still true. I do have higher hopes for this New Year’s Eve… or at least I hope there is less tear gas.

Ha!
I have no idea how to cite this. I found it roaming the internet, and it made me laugh.
I Am Breaking The Following Rules
I just want you to know that I plan on breaking most of these rules. You’re Too Old To Wear That Women shouldn’t wear baseball caps or apply a fake tan after age 40, respondents said. Miniskirts and leather pants are off the rack at 41, knee-high boots and even conservative tight tops should be
