No, I'm not looking for a husband. No, I don't want you to set me up with your divorced co-worker. No, I don't want to be a parent. No, I'm not worried about dying alone, thank you. Yes, dinner for one, please. And turn up the Duran Duran.
They say you should have a planned rebuttal for all this concerned "help", but the honest rebuttal is: don't wanna, not gonna. Thank you, forget it.

Petty good. Will get 4 stars and I disagree with virtually all other reviews that this is depressing and a total drag. It's a snapshot of the situation in 2010, not a cheerleading feel-good tome.

I'm starting to see living alone/being single as a revolutionary act, especially for older women, because it just goes against so many conventional, ingrained societal norms. Time those changed!
These days it’s stuff like Earthcrisis, Steve Ignorant, Dropkick Murphys, loud punk basically, but I listen to all sorts of music. I’m a big Eurovision fan for example.
