December 19, 2012 I'm the first to admit that my wife is the spiritual one in our family. While I try to keep an open mind with regards to matters of spirituality I tend to believe more strongly in things that I can taste, smell, touch, taste or hear. However, when my wife suggested I read a best-selling book called "Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeons Journey Into the Afterlife" I said, "OK, but don't think it will change the way I look at things".

Of course you've been eye-balling that flat screen TV and could get it for 'her' even though you'll both be using it (chalk this one up to almost-genius moments that end up as epic fails). Or, maybe she keeps talking about getting into some kind of work out regimen, but actually buying her a gym membership could backfire on you. Here are some other ideas you'd better leave in your head if they happen to pop up in the first place.

Take a look some of the other well mannered celebs.

December 5, 2012 There have been a number of terrific TV sitcoms over the years and while we all have our favorites Vanity Fair and "60 Minutes" teamed up to determine which ones were deemed the best of all time. It was no surprise the "Seinfeld" ranked number one but the rest of the list consisting of comedies old and new may come as a bit of a surprise.
December 4, 2012 There used to be a TV show called "Who Do you Trust". If that question were asked today the answer would be "nurses". A new Gallop Poll found that nurses and pharmacists were one and two as the most trusted occupations with members of Congress and car salespeople rated least trusted. Maybe your job is on the list.

December 4, 2012 I was a late comer to the cell phone revolution but since I became a member I have found mine to be, above all, convenient. I go to the store and forget what kind of bread we need all I have to do is pull out the cell and call home.
