Salesmen that aren't dicks would be a nice alternative. I once had a car salesman who refused to make eye contact with me. He chose to interact with a friend who was just along for the fun - but who happened to be male. It was my decision, my money, my credit, and Joe (the guy friend) had nothing to do with anything.…

Sometimes ya lose. That's life in the real world. It's a lesson we should all start learning early. It's how you find out what you're good at, what you like, and what you could get better at. Learn to lose gracefully. Learn the lessons that only losing can teach.

Cool! So now I can say all men are rapists! Thanks!!

Nixon - a name that will live in infamy. What an inept POS.

Angry people protest between midnight and five. Protesters don't punch time clocks when cops kill unarmed boys.

There's an obvious backlash against poor single mothers. My daughter is about to lose custody of my granddaughter because of a lying ex who makes more money. He said he wasn't an abuser and that he hadn't done drugs for 6 months (a lie) and that was good enough for the GAL.

I vote that you choose to be flattered. No matter what his reasoning - he was smart enough to call you.

Thank you, Kara. Another aspect to the importance of social media is this: reporters losing their jobs. AP used to have a dozen stringers in my state, now there are 3. One of the larger papers in my state just closed down their state house bureau and laid off the guy who has been on that beat for 26 years. The…

Do people really sing that crap to babies? No wonder I have such a weird kid. She got a lot of 70's rock and punk.

I hope she sues the shit out of everyone involved with this.

One can see where Dr. Ablowhard would be the ideal candidate to lecture anyone about their weight. *roll eyes*

Of course what he really wants to say is SHE'S BLACK!

Yes, Yes, Yes! He was brilliant in that role. I love that movie.

I'm so weary of entitled little shites like Kendall Jenner. If the restaurant serves an underage person liquor, they're at risk of losing their license and paying huge fines.
Granted, this spoiled little twerp has no concept of what life is like for working people, since working and thinking are 2 things she'll never…

FYI - it's not a good idea to accuse anyone of having a narrow world view, then going on to espouse a bunch of stereotypical nonsense.

This is frustrating. I can't tell if you're deliberately misunderstanding me, or if I'm being unclear. I never suggested anyone should hold out for Mr. Perfect. That isn't at all what I've been saying. In any case, I sincerely hope that you and Mr. Rambler live happily ever after.

I'm pretty sure that no matter what, people are obsessed with finding Mr. or Ms. Right and feeling as though that means they've found their soul mate. I don't think many people view it the same way I do. Part of the reason I see things differently is age. I've been married 3 times. My third/final husband was my soul…

I had that relationship for 10 years. It was pretty great.

Sorry, it wasn't meant for YOU personally. A soul mate may be a different person from one's husband/wife/bf/gf/etc.

It's also possible to get sent home early on a slow night, and make nothing. It's possible to get sick and be out of work - and have no health insurance because most restaurant owners don't offer any. A great many things are possible.

So make it an issue with the credit card companies, and stop screwing the people you don't pay a decent wage to to begin with.
