Survivor Stories: Robyn Murphy
7
Hey GEMs! We’re wrapping up Breast Cancer Awareness Month with one last Survivor Story. I hope you have enjoyed reading these but more than that, hope you understand the importance of taking care of yourself, so that you CAN take care of others. Breast cancer, when caught early is not a death sentence. And remember, don’t be afraid of KNOWING you have cancer, be afraid of NOT knowing. And now, Robyn’s story.
How did you first find out you had cancer?I have been having mammograms every year More >
Ask Rene: He Got Me Pregnant Then Dumped Me!
10Dear Rene:
I know I’m asking for this by putting it out there but I sort of need to get it off my chest.
About a year and a half ago, the company I worked for transferred me across country. I was far from home with no family nearby. One night in a bar, I met a man and fell head over heels in love with him. Well, two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. Of course, as luck would have it, my job transferred me back to the east coast but before I left, Steve told me he’d join me in time for More >
Wishful Thinking: What Country Is On Your “Bucket List”? (VIDEO)
13Hey everybody, it’s “Wishful Thinking” time again! When we’re young, it’s so easy to let our imaginations run wild. Then we grow up. We do things we’re supposed to do, you know, “sensible” things and we forget that which fascinated us as children.

Now you would think with him being the president and all, he could afford more than one suit or at the very least, get that one cleaned regularly. Will, the suit smells to HIGH HEAVEN! And don’t let us have to be in a closed door meeting with him in the middle of summer. It is literally overwhelming!

Then it was off to She Streams and I wrapped it up this past weekend speaking at Blogalicious. This really was just one more brick in the foundation that is the “Reinvention of Rene” and while I was going there to speak I actually got so much more.

The GEM Debate: Will Recession Make Your Man Cheat? REALLY?
12
Okay, really? This qualifies as the most asinine thing I have read today. I found a report that says the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology will detail the results of a study that basically says men feel the need to spread their seed when stressed. And since the recession has brought on said stress and there could be a whole lot of reckless seed-spreadin’ about to go down. Apparently it’s based in human nature; when men are stressed they resort to “short term” mating in an effort to More >
