I love Stephanie Zacharek's review. I'm sitting here in cubicle of a multi-national company that just gave us miniscule raises while trumpeting that they are one of the most profitable companies in the US and I'm laughing out loud reading this review. It is a beautiful day but I'm skipping the yard work, the walk around the lake, and my dog's need for exercise because I'm going to the movie and expect to have a fabulous time. Thanks Stephanie.

Break's over - back to work!

but you've put up with this behavior for 40 years and I fear that writing the letters will take another 40. Set a goal to write the letters over a single weekend and be done with your birth family's curse.

(As a girl, Goldstein was taught that Spinoza wickedly equated God with nature, when Jews and Christians agreed that God is supernatural, outside of nature, and a person.)

I read the article and thought it was well written and interesting. I don't feel the world will expire if I skip giving an opinion of it. So why all the hateful, smart-assed or smarmy responses by some of the readers? Why is it that some readers see every article as an opportunity to present an [anti-author, anti-liberal, anti-feminist] diatribe? You probably know what you write is neither helpful nor enlightening and you don't care because that isn't the point for you. But do you know that people generally write you off as not having an opinion worth hearing?

Hey, its a lovely spring day. Get off the computer - walk the dog, plant a rose bush, donate to the local food bank, invite friends over for dinner, volunteer for your favorite candidate, look for a new job, paint the front door, call your Mom. Get something positive in your life so the rest of us don't have to wonder what your problem is.

The mother of a new member of our family puts chopped hard boiled eggs in turkey gravy. Is this peculiar to this family or do other people do it?
