Not surprising, given the state of the American airline - not American Airlines, in particular, though certainly they are not any better or worse than the rest of them. As an aside, in fact, a friend of mine - talking about potenti...

I’ll tell you who – Amish people, toddlers, and flannel-shirted lumberjacks. Guys with their company logos – or even worse, their own names – embroidered over their bosoms. These people wear buttons on their wrists. It seems to me that it’s time for the Americ... Career Jeff Piper Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=271542&ca=Career Ahhhh! Summer is upon us. Its time for endless days at the beach just basking in the sun without a care in the world. Let the sand run between your toes as you watch listless clouds float by. Crisp, cold drinks and iced beer make their frosty appearances as you take that first sip and wonder how you...

I know nothing will ever top - in your mind - the beer hat yo... Marriage Jeff Piper Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=259840&ca=Marriage A man's life and the lives of those he calls his best friends come in distinct stages. There's the late elementary school stage when a boy and his friends all realize that girls aren't really cootie-ridden after all. This is immediately followed by the middle school stage when they all lose their bo... Society Jeff Piper Wed, 14 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=252567&ca=Society I must say, I really don't trust people who don't read in the bathroom. Our bathroom at home is filled with reading material; from Oprah magazines to a true-crime book (my disgusting guilty pleasure), to my husband's history book (his not-so disgusting guilty pleasure) and his GQ magazines. When I h... Etiquette Jeff Piper Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=247296&ca=Etiquette Casual wear means different things to different men. One man may hear that his upcoming 4th of July brunch for work is casual dress and excitedly rush straight to the back of his closet to grab the jeans he uses to mow the lawn, the very ratty Birkenstocks he has had since college and his vintage AC...

Hell, you've known each other since elementary school when he accidentally knocked you upside the head coming off the monkey bars.

Society Jeff Piper Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=239394&ca=Society As a woman, it is much easier to dress in trendy fashions. Entire stores are dedicated to the low-cost yet fashionable pieces that women crave. We can buy cute, inexpensive clothes in bulk, wear these discount pieces about a dozen times and then throw them out once the hems start fraying, the thin f... Society Jeff Piper Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=239395&ca=Society I would never consider myself a fashionista. In fact, I am far, far, oh so far from it. However, that does not stop me from devouring celebrity gossip blogs to see what the stars are sporting as they make their daily Starbucks run, subscribing to over five fashion magazines and religiously watching...
