Or at least, though they claim to make my life easier, they really make it harder. Chick Wit: Where food gets made, to disorder http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20091101_Chick_Wit__Where_food_gets_made__to_disorder.html If Freud had wanted to know what women want, he could have asked. If he'd asked me, I would have answered: Chick Wit: Brother's soul finds a way to beat aging http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20091025_Chick_Wit__Brother_s_soul_finds_a_way_to_beat_aging.html I just got off the phone with Mother Mary, who's lost her mind. Or maybe it's Scottoline birthday madness. Let me explain. Chick Wit: Confessions of a nut addict http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20091018_Chick_Wit__Confessions_of_a_nut_addict.html Addictions sneak up on you. They lure you in, teasing you, and before you realize it, you have a craving you can't deny. Chick Wit: Each decade, words that define a life http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20091011_Chick_Wit__Each_decade__words_that_define_a_life.html I think a lot about words, and I like to choose the most important words for the decades of my life. Chick Wit: If you sweat a deadline, you're lucky http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20091004_Chick_Wit__If_you_sweat_a_deadline__you_re_lucky.html The good news is that I didn't have mange. The bad news is that I had poison sumac and a deadline. Chick Wit: The critters return with a vengeance http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20090927_Chick_Wit__The_critters_return_with_a_vengeance.html It's that time of year, when nature comes too close for comfort. My spiders are back, which means that when I open the front door, they rush over the threshold, scurry into the living room, and take the good chair. Chick Wit: New book written off by Mom http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20090920_Chick_Wit__New_book_written_off_by_Mom.html I have big news. Not as big as a puppy or a date, but big. These columns, more than two years' worth, are going to be published as a book. The title is Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog. Chick Wit: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20090913_Chick_Wit_.html Lisa Scottoline's "Chick Wit" column does not appear today. Chick Wit: The undoing of Mom's list of taboos http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/lisa_scottoline/20090906_Chick_Wit__The_undoing_of_Mom_s_list_of_taboos.html Mother Mary is visiting and daughter Francesca has come down from New York, so three generations of Scottoline women are under the same roof. Some call this a family staycation, but I call it a slow death.
