Funny-man [Steve Carell](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0136797/) makes me go Mmm. Single moms - like the wise and feisty one I like a lot at [Have-the-t-shirt.blogspot.com](http://have-the-t-shirt.blogspot.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) - make me think: What's it like to be a single mom, or a single dad? As a person who has never had children of her own, I can only beginto imagine the trials and tribulations of single parenthood... ...and that special love, like no other. My genuine respect and admiration for single moms notwithstanding, I wasn't sure how to react when [Ms. Have the T-Shirt](http://have-the-t-shirt.blogspot.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) named me for the Thinking Blogger [meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme) that's been going around the blogosphere. The idea, you see, is to name five bloggers who make you think. So I really thought about it. For two weeks, in fact. And now - drum roll please - here are my five choices of blogs/bloggers that make me think. **Part-Time Buddha** I knew I would like the way this blogger thinks when I read the following in his Ideas I Try to Live By section: **"**One of these dayswomen will once again rule the earth. I really hope I'm around forthat, and live my life in such a way that they'll know I don't need tobe castrated or sent to the desert island with the rest of the men.**"** Part-Time Buddha. He's kind of [Zen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen), he's kind of profane, and he's got me wondering...about the perfect comment to leave on his blog. _https://part-timebuddha.squarespace.com._ **Our Bodies Our Blog** This blog is described as "your dailydose of women's health news and analysis." Christine's posts make methink that we need to be more pro-active about our bodies - and aboutthe legislation that affects our bodies. Warning: If you're put off by the F-word (i.e., "feminism"), the OurBodies blog might not be for you, so skip to my next choice. Unless, of course, you're offended by the word, "slut." [ourbodiesourblog.org](https://www.ourbodiesourselves.org/issues-impact/blog/) **Book Slut** Jessa not only writes book reviews that are actually interesting; she also delivers interviews, features, commentary, and news. While I wouldn't go so far as to claim that people who enjoy reading books are sexier than people who don't - this blog encourages me to secretly think it. If you'd rather look at pictures, though, skip to my next choice. _bookslut.com_ **Quarlo** Good pictures make me think - and go Mmm. No wonder I had a hard time choosing just one of my favorite photog-blogs to put on this list. Because I live in suburbia, behind [The Orange Curtain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_curtain), and Todd Gross' amazing urban photos make me want to visit NYC soon (maybe in September 2007, [LisaB](http://www.lisabindacity.com/)?), his photog-blog, Quarlo, makes my list. [quarlo.com](https://goo.gl/jvrQ8d) **Big Fat Blog** Whatever body type you have, BFB is an interesting, informative blog about, well, being fat/overweight/obese in a thin-obsessed world. This blog keeps me thinking about the obesity that runs in my family. While you're visiting, don't miss the "Fat Rant" YouTube video posted there.
