Considering that my HTML mentors were all men who were completely anal when it came to how to type HTML, I knew this article called, Code Like a Girl would grab my attention. Turns out, most of the men in our discussion, at Cre8asiteforums, "Do You Code Like a Girl?", code like girls. I just can't picture them all running like girls, or in the case of one real woman who commented, sort their kitchen herbs and spices alphabetically.
Short or Long?
Once you get the organization part figured out, and you muster up the courage to launch a blog, you must decide whether to go long or short. With your RSS feed, of course.
They say that sex continues past your 40's. This comes as good news, since I just turned 48 years old. Apparently I will be expected to be spending a lot of money too.

My teenager is still doing the "I'm 16 and can do what I want" stuff. That includes living in a bedroom that can't possibly be safe. There's a path to her computer, so she can IM her friends. My young step-son has learned to burp at the dinner table; a habit he has learned from his older step-siblings, who get corrected everytime they do it, but do it anyway, just to get the youngest one in trouble.
I have a normal life. All is well.
