Fantasies are just that.. fantasies. They don’t mean the person really wants that in real life. I’d guess most of the women who read those - don’t really have a step-brother. So it’s a forbidden fruit sort of thing.

We could be twins. I worked for a company that many people have probably heard of. Got a new manager and a few months later *poof* job gone. In my late 40's I'm finding I'm not a valuable asset. I've heard that my resume is "too experienced" and that I'd probably cost too much to hire. 47-yo and now dependent on…

Make no mistake. TLC didn't cancel this show out of any moral obligation. They are avoiding bad publicity and loss of sponsors. If a child is hurt or exploited on their watch - they could face not only bad press but law suits as well. Also, if the "boyfriend" becomes a regular - then TLC has to pay him. These…

Yes... these non-compete clauses are somewhat disturbing. I've signed them in the past but never had any trouble when getting a new job afterward. But I can see how an past employer could cause trouble if they wanted to. In my work experience this wasn't the case. But I've always wondered how this could be legal. How…

In this day and age anyone who leaves a window wide open while they sleep is not facing reality or has a false sense of security. If you don't have a lot of money, there are a variety of inexpensive devices you can buy. These can make it so that the window can't be pulled open all the way. You can even get really…

I don't like the publicity that is getting. This just opens up the door for someone to use this against her when she is older. How would you want to be known as a "wrongful birth" or that you parents may not have really wanted you to be born? The mom needs to do a better job of protecting her daughters identity. *I…

She's basically saying.. "why go look for attention, when you are already in trouble?" or "lay low until things cool off." Probably how she has stayed out of serious trouble. Sounds like well-raised young lady to me.

Consensual or not, it's illegal. Now to be fair, I knew some pretty physically developed teens when I was in High School. A few of them even looked like they could've been much older than they really were. But inside they were still a blubbering mess of teenage confusion. Which is why we have laws about this.

I find it interesting that two lesbians, are somewhat distressed over having a black child. Look, no one knows what they are getting when a baby is born. Will the child be gay, straight, a genius, or a complete jerk? There is no quality control when it comes to having a baby. But for Christ's sake I hope they get it…

There are people who think you are obligated to text them right back, as soon as they write. While I think it happens with both genders, men tend to be more indignant. Since when did dating become like fast food? Building up a relationship with someone (even a casual one), takes time. It doesn't happen overnight.

Let's reverse the situation. You're a work and your new co-worker is very big ex-con. He's much bigger than you actually. In fact, he could easily overpower you. He makes jokes all the time about prison rape. He even tells you that he could easily jump you in the back room and rape you. You're a guy right.. so no big…

The best management course I ever took addressed how to handle workplace bullying and harassment. Unfortunately, many small business owners don't bother to (or can't afford to) take classes like that. My guess was (and it's only a guess) the manager was embarrassed and completely out of his depth. Instead talking to…

I agree. It's a well-built car that is bought and paid for. Why in the world should a person trade a known quantity for a used 5k piece of crap that might need constant repair. This whole thing smacks of jealousy. Lot's of people are enjoying seeing formerly well off people struggle. And boy do they ever enjoy…

Yah he is is hot. But that's until he's beating you senseless or stealing your stuff.

Most people will be stupid to notice it was changed. Of course they'll get a shock when they see the live musical version at some point in their lives.

Which is exactly the point of this test. As a manager I've always held the belief"all employees are important". Everyone from the receptionist, to the janitor, to the CEO has an important job to do. Some of my direct reports would groan, but I was very insistent that people clean up after themselves. For me keeping…

I can see where he's coming from. I had an old boss that once said, "you can teach skills, but you can't teach attitude." A person with bad interpersonal skills, will do more harm than good. Today's work place is cooperative and usually involves working in teams. When we were interviewing at my old company, we went…

If this was a 14-yo special needs girl involved with an older male teacher.. it would be called rape from the get-go. A 14-yo is incapable of really giving consent or understanding the full consequences of having sex with an adult. It's a crime no matter what genders are involved.

Or he comes from a harsher time. In our day "Tranny" was the nicest thing someone could call you. We also had to be a lot more thick-skinned and rough around the edges to survive. His reaction is part of the single-mindedness and hard headedness he needed to not only survive but to make it. A black drag queen rising…

I watched a really moving documentary today about a young transwoman who was elected Homecoming queen. And that's when it dawned on me.. the world that many queer people of my generation lived in (including RuPaul) was a much harsher one. That never would've happened in my teens. So perhaps the difference in opinion…
