I've been pushing for more give-aways because, well, we can't afford to pay you for all the work you do commenting, answering questions and blogging (heck, I barely get paid). But we can give you free stuff. So, watch the site for some great give-aways.

Right now, we have a give away happening over here. Tell us your rootin'-est, tootin'-est cowboy love story (in the comments of this article) and we'll send the best one a copy of season 8 of Aussie-tastic McLeod's Daughters.

I hope that wasn't too spammy. I just know how much I loves me some … Read More

Owning a DVR, such as TiVo, can actually help free up time and reduce some unnecessary arguments with your spouse. CNET reports that couples who record their TV shows are happier than those who don't!

Since Tomfoolery has become a twice daily exercise in awesomeness, I've had to come up with a few more gimmicks. It turns out that as weird as I am, I only have a thousand or so relationship-related peculiarities and I have to pace myself on the disclosure front. That being said, I'm going to try doing things that are actually helpful rather than just entertaining to write.

First stop on the service piece* express: fun and free ideas. On a weekly basis I'll hit you with tips about fun and free stuff to do in this derelict bitch of an … Read More

While we can't all be somewhere festive for Mardi Gras, why not channel the indulgent nature of the day (mardi gras is French for "fat tuesday," after all) and plan an impromptu date to celebrate your partner or find a new squeeze amongst the festivities.

Here are some low-cost ideas for celebrating Mardi Gras, which for Catholics is the last day to splurge on food, drink or behavior before the 40 days of Lent begins and rules like meat-free Fridays are observed:

1. Eat free pancakes! International House of Pancakes is offering free shortstacks of their classic buttermilks … Read More

"A three-story brownstone in the West Village."

"A 20-acre ranch to rescue and raise all the homeless dogs from the animal shelter."

"A $3000 clothing allowance from Barneys."

These are a few of the gifts my husband and I gave to one another last year. (I'll let you guess which one of us received the Barneys clothing allowance.) OK, so we gave one another these lavish gifts…on index cards.

Times were tight last Christmas, and rather than set an arbitrary limit, then be forced to search for something, anything of importance for $25 or under (pretty much impossible, by the way), we decided to … Read More

A Current TV reporter recently hit the streets of London two days in a row in search of free goods and services: cab rides, slices of cake, drinks. The first day she dolled herself up in a form-fitting dress, makeup, blown-out hair and heels. The second day, she hit the streets in the "dowdy" version of herself: long skirt and loose-fitting blouse, no makeup, hair pulled back.

As evolved as we try to be, humans are still suckers for good-looking members of the species. This is why the line between trophy wife and gold digger is often blurred. … Read More

Ah, the Brits. They brought us the terms "smug married" and "singletons via Bridget Jones' Diary, and now, they've brought us the "freemale," courtesy of London's Daily Mail. Though the "freemale" sounds like a creature found in a jar at Ripley's Believe or Not!, she's actually a single-by-choice woman who has chosen her freedom over a family.

According to the Mail, eight percent of the female population in Britain between 25 and 44, or almost three-quarters of a million women, are single -- twice the number of ring-less gals than 20 years ago. But no lonelyhearts are these … Read More
