Win a Star Wars Japan Missy Cut V-Neck Top from Her Universe (Ends 1/23)

Women have been fighting a battle of equality for decades now. They’ve been mocked. Shunned. And all-around bullied just for wearing their hearts on their sleeve. Or rather, on their T-shirts.

Palmolive’s Fresh Infusions Softens Hands and Smells Freshtastic

by

I’ll freely admit it. I don’t do the dishes that often. I usually just pile them in the sink. And yes, we actually do have a dishwasher, so I really have no excuse.

My Pittsburgh Steelers Damn It Doll

by

Today is officially the last day of the NFL season. Week 17. Next week starts the crazy roller coaster known as the playoffs. And today for the first time in a long time, the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing a completely meaningless game. They were having a fairly solid season, getting real strong at the right time and then, quarterback Big Ben gets injured (almost killed, really), and they start tanking. They blew a few really close games …
