Being a single man who is very seriously considering the idea of tying the knot, I got an insight last night on the concept of how the grass is not always greener on the other side. For three hours and a few minutes, I hung out with two very dear friends (one male and one female). 95% of the time was spent discussing the whole concept of marriage (5% was spent on trying to explain to the waiter, Mohammed, that it was OK if he spoke Arabic to us). The reason my friends brought up the subject was not that they were unhappily married, god forbid.

I’ve decided to succumb to my deep dark secret addiction (just this one time), and find myself back at the mother ship (a.k.a. Burger King Drive-Thru) picking up some extra large fries. I convince the guy to fix me a fresh hot batch – after all, if I’m going to succumb, might as well make it worthwhile!

Fall has come upon us and along with the first chill, we are starting to experience, the first wave of female fashion faux-pas.

Seriously. It is.

The MRIs are done and the diagnosis is clear. "Two herniated discs", the doctor tells me, "you need to stay home for two weeks lying on your back". I cringe at my unfortunate fate as I get up from the examination table and head towards the door. I cringe more as I receive the bill for the ten minute visit and the one hour wait.

So, it’s October and in case you’ve been in a catatonic state for 2 weeks, that means Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Pink Ribbon? Check.
Gala Dinner? Check.
Pink Bracelet? Check.

2-minute self-exam? Not so much…

This week there are no guy gripes, no catfights and definitely no weight dramas. This week is about US girls and how to take care of ourselves, It’s about taking a step back and realizing that what really matters in life is your health and the health of your loved ones.
