Last week when I asked ElectricVenom.com readers to vote, Survivor-style, on which blog I could cut out without disappointing anyone, I was really surprised how many people voted to keep ChubbyMommy.com.
Let’s face it: you don’t participate in comments much and, for whatever reason, many of you who run your own blogs haven’t linked this site. [...]

I believe it was Einstein who defined insanity as repeatedly trying the same thing in the hope of producing different results. Or something like that.
Well, my friends, I confess that for years now I’ve been insane.
I’ve tried cutting calories only to find myself standing in the gaping, incandescent-lit maw of the refrigerator at 2 [...]

After much consideration, and quite a bit of encouragement from many of you, I’ve decided to keep ChubbyMommy.com and my other sites, too.
Five blogs are a lot to juggle but, what the heck, typing burns calories, too, doesn’t it?

Now that I’ve started Blogging For The Money, a blog about my passion to teach people how to start a blog, write better and make money at it, I’ve decided that one of my blogs must go. The readers at Electric Venom voted, both publicly and via email.
We’ve all agreed it’s time for me [...]

Wednesday is ordinarily the day when I take my son out to the movies. It’s a nice weekly routine of ours, one that serves as a reward for his diligent work in homeschool while breaking up the week so it doesn’t seem so long.

Carson Kressley, formerly of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, has a new TV series, How to Look Good Naked. His mission: to help overweight women stop hating themselves and feel beautiful in their own skin.
And that has ticked off the folks members of the National Action Against Obesity who feel that the show’s message [...]

Although I said I wasn’t going to make a New Year’s Resolution to lose weight (preferring, instead, to simply resolve that I won’t gain any, either), I’ve nevertheless found myself on a diet.
I blame this on the recent discovery that my bathroom mirror is in no way related to my car’s rear view mirror [...]

With my in-laws in town for a few days, I spent a good chunk of yesterday holed up in my office “working”. By that I mean that I enjoyed a nice, quiet cup of coffee while reading email, then began wading through the stack of magazines that has piled up on my desk since their [...]

I ran across an article this morning which really sent my blood pressure spiking. Doctors, it turns out, commonly prescribe placebos to patients, with over half the doctors in a Chicago study admitting that they’d done so in the past.
