    About Me

    This is my philosophy.

    Search my archives on the upper left side of the screen. If I haven't addressed your topic yet, send me an email. I get 12-15 questions a day, so yours may not go up on the site, and since I have other jobs I may not answer privately, either. Someday...

    New questions post M-F at 6 am (EST), usually, with a book review up on Friday night.

I'm in the Minneapolis area, so I'll TiVo it!

"Moxie on Fox" is certainly not something I ever thought I'd see in this lifetime! Heh heh!! Seriously though, this really is awesome news and I hope I get to see the web version soon.

That's..odd. Mike Huckabee has some really, truly appalling political views*, so it's hard for me to get that excited about him having a good guest or two on his show. And REALLY hard for me to get excited that he has a bigger audience for his views, political or not. It legitimizes him.

Also, a prior show with women debating formula or breastfeeding? Can we tune in for next week's edition of work or stay home?

*gay marriage akin to legalizing incest for starters.

WOW! Congrats and I hope you are able to put up the video-it doesn't look like I'll get it in CA.

libbyllama

That's so awesome! I won't be able to see it out here in CA, but my mom will definitely be able to view it in FL and she's a fan, too. Very cool for both you and your ex-husband. Congrats!

Leorah

Seriously? The idea of tee-vee is *that* compelling?

laura

Uh. Love the idea of your being on TV. Dislike the idea of your smarts/poise lending credence to the horrid Huckabee, despite the apolitical nature of this episode.

Sharon @proactiveparenting

Congrats! Hope we can see it! You're doing something so different and important. The world needs to know that two adults really can be grown-ups and have a civil divorce. Go tell the world about it!

Meredith

Exciting! I don't have TV, so I'll have to hope for a clip.

Like earlier commenters, I am not a fan of Mike Huckabee's social conservatism, but I still think that it's great that you're going to be on his show. If you had turned it down on account of politics, well, that would have seemed to me like a pointless stand of the sort that only increases political divides. There are some things-- like how to navigate co-parenting when divorced-- that lots of people would like to hear your take on and that we should all be able to talk about without so much rancour. And, hey, maybe some shared discourse with those FOX news types can help when we try to talk about the rest.

If a prominent person had called black men rapists and said they shouldn't be allowed certain rights in our society (say the right to be around children) and suggested we would be better off if they just all went back to Africa, would we call it politics? Or would we say that is beyond what will tolerate in polite society?

There is a point at which someone's rhetoric isn't about political things about which reasonable people can disagree (say tax rates and seatbelt laws) but rather is hateful and vile and contributes to a society which oppresses people.

And giving this person a national megaphone for other "non-political" issues legitimizes him. It says that he isn't a whackaloon hatemonger* who shouldn't be listened to but rather a civil person with much to contribute who has a legitimate opposing view. The things he and others like him have said hurt my family by their very utterance. To chalk it up to just a difference of politics is absurd.

*and seriously, he has equated homosexuality with both pedophilia and necrophilia. This is NOT THE SAME as saying you think one-man-one-woman marriage is a tradition not to be messed with.

In case your lifestyle feels like it can be missing the energy that you just want plus the determination that you just need to have, quite often all you will have to accomplish is shift your viewpoint.

Cafe Carlu is a clean, modern cafe in the Cité de Architecture on the the Trocadero with a small menu of simple,well prepared sandwiches, salads,quiches and plats. So what's the big deal?

Remember that food is fuel. And breakfast is the most important fuel of the day. If your first meal is full of nutrient dense calories, it gives your brain and body the what it needs to have a productive morning and will positively effect your energy levels, mental clarity, and ability to make other good food choices throughout the rest of your day. And if the meal is processed, has sugar, is too high in carbohydrates, or is non-existent, your body and brain are being shortchanged before your day has even begun!
