Roses Aren't The ONLY Flower for Valentine's Day

Staci — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:44:40 +0000

I must admit, my favorite flower arrangement to receive as a gift is NOT Roses…but breaking this news to my sweetie didn’t get me any points. I think a lot of ladies out there would agree that there are other beautiful flowers to send for Valentine’s Day. The upside is, they may be less expensive. So guys, here are [...]

Mark Wilson — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 03:45:38 +0000

Let’s face it, Men and from Venus and Women truly are from Mars. We are on such different wave lengths that we honestly don’t know how we are still managing to get through a day functioning among each other.

Shauna Wright — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:30:40 +0000

That age-old custom of men being the primary breadwinners may now officially be dead — a new study shows the majority of women now bring home most of the bacon. Prudential Financial, which polled 1,400 women and 600 men between the ages of 25 and 68, found a bit more than half of women are [...]

What's a Girl To Do On A Saturday Night?

Tammie Toren — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:46:42 +0000

One of my best friends from Great Falls is coming down to Billings this weekend. I need to know what there is for a couple of radio women in their 40's to do. Laurie and I want to see what there is to see in Billings, and kind of tear it up, within reason. I

Magic Mike, What a Downer

Tammie Toren — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:28:35 +0000

So, last night I caved, and went to Magic Mike with my daughter. She’s been talking about it for awhile now, and I thought we’d see what all the hype was about. Never in my life have I been in a movie theatre with only chicks… and they were ready to party! I was planning [...]

Megan Pacella — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 14:30:36 +0000

They might all sing with a country twang, but according to Rolling Stone, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline all qualify for the Women Who Rock list. The countdown celebrates “50 of the fiercest albums that female rock & rollers have given the world,” and it includes Lady Gaga, Carole King, Lucinda Williams and — of course — Aretha Franklin, among others.

Should Women Be Allowed in Combat? — Survey of the Day

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:00:28 +0000

Last week, the Pentagon decided open up thousands of near-the-front-line military jobs to female military personnel who were previously restricted from such roles.

Women are still banned from combat, although this move to put them closer to harm’s way has upset some, including Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who said that when women are too close to the front line “emotions” could lead to “compromised situations.” So what does the public think about the Pentagon’s measure?

High School in Utah Can't Be the 'Cougars' Because Name Could Offend Women

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:00:03 +0000

There is no doubt that the word “cougar” has undergone a metamorphosis over the last few decades — no longer just meaning a “a large American wild cat with a plain tawny to grayish coat,” it now also suggests a whole different kind of animal — usually a Chardonnay-drinking woman of a certain age on the prowl for younger man meat.

Shauna Wright — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:00:09 +0000

Today’s seemingly frivolous lawsuit comes courtesy of one Steve Frye, who’s upset that attractive women get into the Playboy Mansion for free while men do not. Seems the “Leather Meets Lace” party at the iconic mansion, which was held October 1 as a fundraiser for former Playmate Jenny McCarthy’s Generation Rescue for Autism Awareness charity, [...]

Men possessing habits that annoy women? I know that is hard to believe, but that is what we are talking about this afternoon. Not that we would need to make an official list of them, but what are some of those habits that a guy has that women would find annoying? Scratching and adjusting below the [...]

Manly Men Making Meals

Dylan Fletcher — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:43:26 +0000

So believe it or not, today marks “National Men Make Dinner Day”. I’m curious to know ladies, if it doesn’t involve tongs and a barbeque grill, what exactly can your man make? Not to say that men are not skilled in the kitchen. There are those exceptions to the rule but if charcoal and a Weber [...]

Men Are Quicker Than Women to Say 'I Love You'

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:00:17 +0000

Contrary to popular belief, men are three times more likely than women to be the first in a relationship to say ‘I love you.’ This was among the findings of a Penn State University study, which interviewed 172 college students on their relationships. The researchers also determined that these weren’t just empty words, and that [...]

How to Make Men Happy… According to 1950s Home Economics

Dylan Fletcher — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:52:52 +0000

Boy, how times have changed. I found this online, it’s from a 1950′s Home Economics textbook (believe me, I didn’t go to school that long ago). Apparently this “list” was intended for high school girls, teaching them how to prepare for married life. This is NOT my list, I’m just the messenger. This was what [...]

New Study Shows Why Men Think Blondes Have More Fun

Shauna Wright — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:00:13 +0000

A new study proves what many already suspected — if a blonde, a redhead and a brunette walk into a bar, the blonde will indeed get more male attention. But not for the reasons you might think.
