New Jargon

So, the other day, one of my commenters introduced me to some new jargon. (Thanks, Marek.)

FWIW

I had to google. Apparently, it stands for 'for what it's worth' or 'for whoever is wondering'.  (Which did you mean, Marek?) I hadn't heard it used before, but there were quite a few search results. Apparently it's already caught on. I'm glad to now be in the loop. And since you've read this post, you are now as well. You're welcome.

A Legit Response to Marek's Post

Ok.  Here's what I have to say in response to 'ten ways to get a guy to commit' and Marek's article on 'why you're not married'.

Here's my gripe(s):  How come it's ALWAYS women who need to work on getting men to commit?  And, how come the question of 'why are you single?' is always directed at women?

I feel like, back 30 years ago, people weren't as monogamous when dating - and it was men who were pursuing women and trying to get them to commit.  Now the tables have turned on us.  Fellow women - I ponder aloud - WTF?  How come we never hear 'how to get a girl to commit'?

Also, how come men are never asked why they're single?  I know this has been beaten into the ground, but how come single men are viewed as free and single women are pitied?  Men are never embarrassed to be single - they are often proud of it.  Case in point - I was talking to Marek earlier.  I asked him why he wasn't married.  His response:  why be tied down with one when you can be free and date many?   Oh Marek.  The ladies' man.

Why are things this way?  Or, I guess, more aptly - what can be done to fix it?  Ladies, we need to take back some control here I think.

Follow Up on an Article

So loyal reader Marek posted an article for my 'review and comment'.

In short - why are you not married?

Dear Marek:  which of the six reasons applies to me?

I look forward to a response.

New York City, a Recap

So, as you all probably know, I was in New York City with my mother this past week. That would be the main reason behind the lack of blog updates.

It was grand. Spectacular. There are not words.

However, I, of course, was still thinking about my friends and loyal blog readers while I was gone.


The New York Public Library. For you, Piper.

It says "How You Doin'". This is for Courtney.


For you, Marek. This is your cue to comment again.
