POPSFemale Athletes Face Stereotypes OMG, why are women athletes presumed to be only lesbian? This really says something about our society, first of all the fact that homophobia is still alive and well and secondly that women have their place and it's not as an athlete, God forbid, that might be too "unfeminine". I played college basketball and it was purely for the love of the sport. My orientation had nothing to do with it.

POPSAre You A Good Or Bad Kisser? Well now, I've been told I'm an excellent kisser on more than one occasion ;) But, I'm with the author. Emotion and the expression of it is the key :)

Did YOU know Charleston was a hub of Communist activity, and that the coal industry was our only hope?

POPSGetting Smokers To Quit Littering "For people who smoke, tossing a butt on the ground is part of the whole ritual," said Thomas Novotny, a professor of epidemiology at UC San Francisco who focuses on cigarette butts. "It's not considered litter." In fact, cigarette butts are among the most common forms of litter nationwide. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works estimates that local smokers drop 600,000 butts on the ground every month, or more than 7 million a year. "By a mile, the No. 1 item that we find at beach cleanups is cigarette butts," said Mark Gold, president of Heal the Bay, a Southern California environmental advocacy group."

POPSThe Ride Back Up Oh my Lord is she freaking hot or what? At her age, she hasn't lost any of her sex appeal; she's soooooooo sexy . . . but more importantly read this quote: “Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else too.” - Meryl Streep Could anyone be more beautiful or talented? I doubt it. You belong back on top sugar and I wish I could be on top on you *LOL*

POPSHer Body; My Baby No one can appreciate the pain of infertility unless you have been there and done that. And I have to some extent. I was married for 7 years until I had my firstborn and I thought I'd never have a child but I did. :) So I saved the ovulation charts for the inevitable day that she would say "You never wanted me!" in a moment of anger. But that never happened because she was is such a perfect daughter and my particular angel. And I love and miss her so.

POPSThe Wreck Of Trouvadore The African idols that led to the discovery of the wreck are on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. They turned out to be kava kava dolls, which are produced only on Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean. Why they were on the ship is still a mystery.

POPSAnd The Crowd Roared Why would anyone act this way for material things?? Are their lives so dismal that they have to fill them with nothing but consumerism? I don't even go out into town on Black Friday and haven't for years. I find it completely disgusting.

POPSJust Say No Lemme tell you how simple my holiday shopping has been for years. I give both my girls and my Mom money at Christmas. I tell them to wait until the after holiday sales and spend it then if they need stuff or use it for what they need. My husband and I never exchange gifts cause we get what we need all year round. There is no need to go into debt for the holidays and all my friends understand that we don't need to buy stuff to make each other happy; just telling someone you love them is more than enough :)

POPSDying Of Consumption "Crises are the ultimate in painful learning experiences. The United States cannot afford to squander this opportunity. Runaway consumption must now give way to a renewal of saving and investment. That’s the best hope for economic recovery and for America’s longer-term economic prosperity."
