Though they've maintained a fairly low-profile relationship, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel mark yet another failed Hollywood relationship. After a tumultuous three-year run, Justica (OK, we just made that up) have split, and naturally a mutual friend went running to tell US Weekly that…

I just started reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo . Normally I'm extraordinarily snobby about what I read, and I wouldn't think about picking up anything that could be labeled a thriller. (Hey, listen, we're all snobby about something

Divorce-a-phobes (not divorces) are toxic to society!

The other morning, I read an AP article which quoted Brian Wilcox, the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, as saying “[divorce is] basically a social and environmental toxin.” As a divorce professional, this type of shaming comment is infuriating.

People ask me time and time again, “So, I think I kind of know what you are talking about, but what exactly does “passive aggression” mean?” Too often, the term has been overextended to include aggressive behavior that stops just short of a direct punch to the jaw. Passive aggression, as defined in The Angry Smile: The Psychology of Passive Aggressive Behavior in Families, Schools, and Workplaces, 2nd edition , is a deliberate and masked way of expressing covert feelings of anger.

Astrology.com Daily Love Tarot – Wednesday September 30, 2009

The Eight of Wands card reversed suggests that your current 'I can't do this anymore' attitude could be based on premature assumptions or desperation as everything seems to be coming down around your head at once. Secrets could be revealed and suspicions confirmed, or else a romance or infatuation may be going nowhere fast. In an effort to find out where you stand, you could try to force the issue and go too far.
