Hands to yourself, lady!
Looking for some help mending my messy ways, I followed the recommendation of several acquaintances and visited FlyLady.net. One quick scan of the site, and I about died from sugar shock. This woman was baby-talking me! And she wanted to hug me! After two minutes on the site! Geesh, lady, you could at least buy me dinner first.
From what I did see, she had some good ideas and useful steps to improvement, but why all the coos and kissy-faces? Do women really like being infantilized like that? I suppose many of them must, since the site is so popular.* But there must be some sort of alternative for girls like me, the snarky girls who grew up on a steady diet of Dorothy Parker and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Anyone got a good recommendation for a get-your-stuff-in-order-once-and-for-all kind of site where they don't want to smother you with embraces?
*And since Beth Moore's Bible studies are so popular. I've heard about these for years and years, but only recently found out what they were like -- specifically, all the "dear one"s and so forth. But I have to give her this much -- at least she's creating actual Bible studies for women. Someone at Stuff Christians Like pointed out Moore is a welcome relief from the kind of women's Bible study curricula that consist of "ALWAYS SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBAND, and oh by the way Jesus Christ died for you." So that's something.

The topic of Bible studies only came up because FlyLady's "LET ME HUG YOU!" reminded me of Moore's "Dear ones."
