Take the SD card out of the laptop and put it back in the camera. Now! It is not polite to call your uncle &#8216;boring&#8217;. You can have Sushi on Saturday.

Walking ahead of me (up the enormous hill that is William Street, Sydney) were 3 mid-20something happily coupled women. They were laughing, confident, natural and oozing sex appeal.

Like boiling a frog we are comfortable with the gentle cooler manifestations of the practice, but are we in danger of boiling alive as the accepted mutilations become more extreme?

He also refuses help and asserts his opinions with the all too annoying &#8220;No!&#8221; and &#8220;Yuck!&#8221;. Despite its infancy, his self-esteem seems imperviable. I wonder how long it will [...]]]></description>

What I find most astounding is that it is Gen-Y who is leading the charge. What the? Yes we are in our twenties and building the foundations of our careers and indeed our lives but wasn’t it us that vowed never to repeat our parents’ mistake of putting work before fulfillment and happiness?]]></description>
