I love this ad campaign.  I've worked with so many young women who really begin to struggle around the middle school age that I felt compelled to share this.  If you haven't seen it, don't be fooled by the "tampon commercial" statement.  It is sponsored by Always, but is not a tampon commercial. :)

A few months back, someone gifted me with a paid account (which was, wow, out of the blue).  It's been nice not having the advertising banner on the site, and I'm trying to decide if it is worth it to continue or go back to the regular one.  My question is thus:  For those of you that use paid accounts, what are your favorite features?  What ( Read more... )

Not sure why I'm in an introspective mood, other than the fact that I've been running on empty for a month now, and tiredness begets strange thoughts, and this rather simple and old debate was brought up, and though I have never believed there is an exclusive answer (meaning I don't think one has to negate the other), I put it forth here ( Read more... )
