Social networking sites persuade you into believing that all the smiling and adoring faces on your dashboard are really your friends. As a professional woman I'd never sit in the hot tub trading emotional tales with my company's CFO and likewise, your profile picture/avatar should not be a provocatively posed photo of you in a swimsuit!

Social Media, Social Graces
Don't go snooping through the LinkedIn list of your associates looking for connections. It's rude to take it upon yourself and reach out to them directly. Respect the relationship and use the "introduction" link!

Social Media - Social Graces
Do not regularly retweet the tweets of someone with a locked/private account. If I wanted everyone to know what I said - I'd have said it to EVERYONE!

MSNBC's Contessa Brewer Calls Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton - Jesse Not Happy
I feel so bad for Contessa Brewer. She is normally so professional and buttoned up....and she tries to quickly regain her footing. But really, what's wrong with Jesse Jackson?

Moving on...
I often wonder if the ability to let go of a person, an idea, a belief or anything that you have ever cherished is a skill or something which you just do. Why is it that some people can have an expressed belief and seemingly overnight are no longer committed to that belief. It's like loving someone....let them go and walk away...great but how do you stop loving them?
I have distant relative who is a devoted Christian. While that doesn't seem like an issue, except in the 20 years I've known him he has been devoted to at least 2 other major religions. How did he do that? Did he wake up one day and decide to believe in a different God? Does a person learn to move on like you learn accounting or is it in your DNA?
Does that belief in a religion or faith go away or morph into something else? In the case of love, do you really stop loving someone or does it lay dormant waiting for a flicker of interest in hopes of rekindling?
The act of letting go or moving on is something we all do everyday! A disagreement with a spouse or co-worker, the decision to buy or not buy a particular outfit for a big event or the decision to walk away from a relationship (for any number of reasons) and sometimes it can be as complex as the decision to alter your person faith - because you need all the help you can get to make it through the day, week, month or even life! Although we let go and move on everyday...sometimes, it's not always easy...we just do it!

The Husband Store
The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward.
The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited!
