Well now I've seen everything.  

Swedish winemaker Vernissage have released a designer "wine handbag", which aims to make boxed wine classy - and fashionable.

It comes with an arm strap AND a spout, and is both fashionable AND practical! How lucky are we???

Read more here, and then tell me: would you buy it? Leave it in the comments, and then when it's available in the U.S. just note that when you're making your Christmas shopping list, I like cabernet. 

The third season of The Voice debuted last night.  Christina Aguilera's unmentionables and Cee Lo Green's bird aside, who was your favorite in the first night of the blind auditions?  Who did you like least?  Share it in the comments!

My girlfriends and I were just recently discussing clothing, and the subject came up about wearing white after labor day.  We didn't all agree about whether it's ok or not. 

I'd like your input.  Leave it in the comments below: is it ok to wear white after Labor Day?

Let's imagine something.  There you are, driving along down the road, minding your own business like you do, and suddenly a snake -- A SNAKE!!! -- pops out of your air conditioning vent. It happened to this guy in Tennessee, and he stayed all calm and safe and pulled off the road before lurching out of the car and calling for help.  It doesn't say what kind of snake, but who cares? If it were me? Yep, I woulda peed myself.  Probably cried, too.  And then refused to ever drive again. 

Here's the story. 

What would you have done?

I don't know about you, but I've lost my taste for American Idol over the last couple of years.  But recent news about one of the new judges has peaked my interest: Keith Urban is said to be joining the judges' table. 

Read the whole story here.

What do you think? Would this make you more or less likely to watch, or just the same?

If you've not been paying attention to magazine covers over the last 30-40 years (I know I haven't) you might not realize that in some ways, magazines have been pushing us toward the same fashion/weight loss/romance advice for years and years -- they haven't even changed the wording!

But not everything on the cover of magazines like Cosmo is the same.  Check out these vintage covers, where you'll find a bunch of things that you wouldn't see on magazine covers today!  

My favorite is the one that promises a "full color layout of cushiony girls."  What's yours?

Admit it.  You're sitting there, looking at Facebook, which is probably what brought you here to my blog, and you know you should be working.  Amiright? And I bet you think Facebook is the biggest at-work time-waster ever invented, right?  Nope.  It's a much, much older technology than Facebook or even its inventor Mark Zuckerburg. It's office chit chat. 

No, really.  Read it for yourself right here. You'll even see where Facebook and those frustrating computer problems compare to the gift of the gab. 

For me, I find it's a combination of all of those, plus one more:  cranking up the music and singing at the top of my lungs.  I could do that all day and not do another thing at all.  Guess I got into the right line of work, huh?

What's your biggest time waster?  Leave it in the comments!

Ready? GO! :)
