OOOH! Me! Me! Pick Me!!
The Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Prudential Center - Want to win some tickets?
I am SO excited. The other day, I read that the Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Prudential Center in February with their "You Write the Rules" world tour. Coincidentally, I read it on the same day that Whatever Work's Facebook page reached 300 Likes. I love writing my own rules, I love ...
A Tasty Shortcut
The hardest thing for me about the transition to the work world is dinner. I refuse to eat take-out or processed foods each night, and my husband is a terrible cook (but he does the housekeeping so it balances out.) And besides, I like to cook. So what's a working... Continue reading

(I know that a child can't "agree" to the act, and that its still rape, whether or not the kid was complying...I don't want to sound like I'm saying its not rape if there is no force.)
When I Walked In JoePa’s Shoes….
Some years ago, someone I trust completely told me a story she heard from someone she trusts. His daughter’s 13 year old friend had bragged that she gets money from a male relative in exchange for sexual favors. This story was shared with me because I was acquainted with the (alleged) victim and...
That is true of McQueary...how did he walk away? The only thing I can imagine, and I'm sorry if this is too graphic, but even though we call it "rape," it probably wasn't force. In other words, the kid agreed to the act. I'm not saying that isn't rape, it most certainly is...I'm just trying to imagine what McQueary saw that made him turn around instead of throw something. Maybe McQueary thought he was seeing sex, not rape. And maybe Paterno thought the issue was sex, not rape? I know that that is hard to swallow when the kid was apparently about ten, but its the only thing I can figure. Maybe *I* am naive, but I can't believe that someone would witness the forcible rape of a resisting child and walk away.

To Whom It May Concern: Warm Wishes for a Lovely Whatever
Your children are adorable. Let’s just start there. I mean it, no irony, I love to see their little faces this time of year. But I don't like your holiday card. There. I said it. Let me give you a few minutes to reel in shock and horror and gather rotten fruit to pelt me with. ….. Recovere...
