Community Director Lyz Lenz is the most upbeat person we know.
The other week, we introduced you to our founder and CEO, Andrea Miller. She makes the rest of us—despite our tendencies to work in the off-hours, neglect loved ones and forget meals—look like lazy bums. This week, we'd like to move along the masthead and spotlight our perpetually-cheery Community Director, Lyz Lenz. Unfortunately for us, she works remotely, in the far, far land that is Iowa. So we can't go to lunch together or swap friendship bracelets. Fortunately, she rocks the whole community thing, and is regularly in contact with you, dear readers, and quick to report back … Read More

Archbishop Vincent Nichols think Facebook might be degrading our interpersonal relationships.
If you're like us, being a few double-clicks away from all our cyberfriends is called "being awake." (Battery power withstanding) Facebook Decides To Control Your Love Life
Sure, we remember when AOL was just gaining momentum and we proudly flaunted our newly minted e-mail addresses. We remember rushing home to check the answering machine to see if our crush called and eagerly awaiting this newfangled thing called Instant Messaging. All to the serenading sound of dial-up, of course.

"Do Single People Work More?" User daenerra thinks that's probably true....
"Do Single People Work More?" User daenerra thinks that's probably true. Additionally, she thinks that special concessions should not be made for parents.Whether or not you are a parent has no bearing on what kind of work you
produce. Single people bring just as much to the table as parents.
Maybe it's the field I work in. I'm an engineer. All that talk about
"different perspectives" really don't matter in my world. It's all in
the numbers, you're either right or you're wrong. You can't have a

Lesbian communes are having a tough time recruiting new members.
We like to flatter ourselves as being more worldly than the average bear, which is why it bruised our egos a bit when we saw the words "womyn's land" and drew a blank.
What's a "womyn's land?" We didn't even know such a spelling of "woman" existed. Color us square!
