This is what your work desk tells me about you

I've never grasped the appeal of putting pictures of loved ones on your desk at work. And I mean, never. Even before the days of smartphones, when you really did go most of the day – gasp – without seeing them. It always struck me as… odd.

My partner wants us to be nudists at home

My partner likes walking around the house naked and wants me to join in. I don't like the idea because we have dogs and their heads come right up to our... you know. It's not that they do anything but I just don't want my bits dangling in their faces. I don't want his doing that either. What's the compromise?

Never forget this tribute

Never forget this tribute

I'm always on the lookout for destinations that offer more than just a scenic backdrop. I crave experiences that delve into history, spark contemplation and leave a lasting impact. (But, as you've seen here, I love a fun zoo visit with animals!) That's precisely what I found during my recent visit to the Indianapolis War Memorial, a truly exceptional landmark dedicated to honoring the sacrifices made by Hoosiers in service to our nation.

I always hope obnoxious game-show contestants lose

I always hope obnoxious game-show contestants lose

I love a good game show. There's something undeniably thrilling about watching ordinary people test their knowledge or luck against incredible odds for life-changing money. But lately, I find myself genuinely annoyed by one particular element: the contestants themselves.

When we travel, the last thing we want to worry about is bringing one more device, one more cord, one more cord for that one more device. But, hear me out. This one is worth it... and you barely need any space for it.

I don't understand the world's Swift obsession

Let me preface this by saying I’m not here to throw shade, nor am I here to sing praises. I’m simply here to confess a profound and persistent bewilderment that has only grown stronger with each passing news cycle, each social media explosion, and each casual conversation about a certain global superstar. I’m talking, of course, about Taylor Swift.

A tower of vehicles? Really? Yup!

The irony struck me immediately. A guy named Lane having a motor museum in Nashville. And that's the case for Jeff Lane who started this local exhibition, called Lane Motor Museum.

My partner has taken up cooking but he's not good at it. I pretend that I like his food but I really don't. Do I keep lying or do I tell him it sucks?

Trickling tranquility

Many people are into meditation or relaxation music (or both) to chill out at the end of the day -- or even to reduce stress during a trying day. I've tried 'em, they're not my thing.

He really tried that at a family wedding? What a butt!

Collin is definitely no Gabe when it comes to pitiful dance moves but he fancies himself a showman when it comes to weddings. His reputation for, uh, unique dance moves precedes him. We've all witnessed the… enthusiasm… he brings to Buff Loft.

Why should I tip a contractor setting their own rates?

Why should I tip a contractor setting their own rates?

I've gone on a couple of rants about the debate we have in society over the custom of tipping. It seems like everywhere we go, we're expected to pay for the product or service AND pay more to show appreciation for it.

My mom is too opinionated about my relationship

My mom is too opinionated about my relationship. She's always asking questions and sticking her nose in. I'm starting to lie because I don't feel like telling her everything she wants to know. I'm avoiding her calls and pretending I don't get her texts. I'm tempted to cut her off entirely. What should I do?

Kids and pets should be scared of their parents

Kids and pets should be scared of their parents

I often hear people recoil at the idea that children and pets should have a degree of “fear” when it comes to their primary caregiver. "They should love you unconditionally!" they cry. "Fear is abusive!" But I’m here to tell you that this perspective often fundamentally misunderstands what that "fear" truly entails, and why it's absolutely crucial for establishing respect and, ultimately, a healthier, safer dynamic.

Wait, sorry, I'm feeding a ferocious WHAT that can kill me?

On the way to Zoosiana in Broussard, La., near Lafayette, I was told we'd be spending a few hours with the owner of the zoo. Owner of a zoo? A private citizen can own a zoo? That can't be right. But, oh, it is! George Oldenburg is the owner and director of Zoosiana and if there's one person I've ever met who loves animals, it's George.
