This might be the best thing I’ve seen in a while: A reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum: Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy? I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25...

Look, Mom! That lady is reading a newspaper!

When I get home from brunch

Was at this event and the best part was seeing all the folks wearing their Cancer Votes stickers hours after the debate. 

Cancer Votes Massachusetts was out last week at the U.S. Senate candidate debate in Springfield, MA, the third of four scheduled debates between Rep. Scott Brown (R) and Elizabeth Warren (D).

Cancer Votes volunteers and staff spent time talking with supporters from both campaigns about why cancer needs to be a national priority, and six volunteers and staff were able to attend the sold-out debate.

And Cancer Votes volunteer Pat Spain from North Andover gave several interviews to reporters, including one with NPR!

According to Cancer Votes staffer Patricia Mallios, volunteers and staff were able to meet a lot of people and many of them kept their stickers on during the debate and were interested in hearing about Cancer Votes.

Adele’s middle finger gesture sours Brit Awards success after singer is cutoff It was supposed to be a coronation of sorts for Adele at the Brit Awards but it didn’t turn out that way. The British singer had just picked up six Grammys earlier this month and the Brits represented somewhat of a homecoming after an incredibly successful year fuelled by her album 21 and songs like the inescapable “Rolling in the Deep.” She won six Grammys in L.A. last week — a haul matched only by Beyonce. But when she stepped on stage Tuesday night to receive the Brit Award for the best album award (she’d already won best British female) and was in the middle of an obviously heartfelt speech, she was interrupted by show host James Corden. ”Are you about to cut me off?” said a clearly unimpressed Adele to Corden. “Can I just say then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time around.” (Photo: Dylan Martinez/Reuters)

very sad, indeed.

Sad bros.

Not very tolerant of right turns.

Mistakes to avoid when you’re fighting a cold

- We’ve all heard the conventional wisdom: Do nothing for a cold and it will last for seven days; try a host of remedies, and it will last for a week.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing a special gel that mimics the vibrations of human vocal cords. The project could have profound effects on people with damaged voices, from aging singers to throat cancer patients. The research is being funded in part by The Who’s Roger Daltrey, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, and actress Julie Andrews, whose voice was affected by 1997 surgery.

Here’s how it works

I was there and, yes, I'm bragging. Great party. Host RoAnn Costin got the best birthday gift ever. Imagine the cast of "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" singing "Happy Birthday" to you on your big day!

No, say it isn't so, ABC kills 2 soaps

ABC has announced it is canceling two soaps: 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live', which brings to a close an era of TV. @Oprah recently had some of these stars on and, come to think of it, the whole show seemed more like an obit than a promo. I guess not even @Oprah can resurrect the dead.
