I know things will slowly get better and the consolation will be that young girls will come into a better environment than exists now. I agree with you - it is tragic that Pao's experiences seem tame to you because your own experiences were harsh.

I already miss that show SO MUCH.

Having a good boss is probably a huge saving grace. It is great that you can stand up for yourself and have some protection. Is your boss male, or female?

You say "no" when they ask you to do demeaning tasks? I knew it, totally not a team player.

Ugh, my ex-wife was a part of that industry for a while and it can be brutal. Whenever a group of people (men) would meet at the office of her employer, it was automatically assumed by most people (men) entering the conference room that she was there to get their coffee and treats.

Synchronicity! I just watched his comedy special on Netflix last night. His comedy is clever and his point of view is refreshing. He was really fun to watch.

Everything I know about One Direction comes from their Madame Tussauds figures coming here from London for a few months. I say this because I had a weird feeling of deja vu when I saw the picture at the top of the story...which is a press photo of Zayn being measured for his Madame Tussuads figure.

I spent a little over $30k plus around $3k for her ring. That doesn't include the many trips we made to Sedona to taste food and cake, pick the venue, audition varying size groups of strings players (not sure how to word that), talk to florists and pick flowers, find a hair and makeup person and probably twenty other…

I wonder if it really is mostly 20-somethings. Gen-X is interested in staying productive and competitive, too. I am in my 40s, take Adderall and the benefits are not debatable. I have also used physical performance enhancing drugs. I would be interested in more things that have proven benefits and I know other olds…

It is a '72. Previous owner did the GT5 conversion. I was afraid the color would be too obnoxious on an already ridiculous car, but it turned out great. It is the orange from the Porsche GT3 RS that came out few years ago.

I have recognized this as a possible trend when my wife and I split last year. Heh. Both were mutual, so it isn't like I packed my stuff and left on my twelve year anniversary...although we did literally move to separate places ON our twelve year anniversary last year.

Right? I am a graphic designer and love fashion and interior design. I had as much fun picking out dresses, shoes, decorations, venues, food, hairstyles, cakes, music, flowers as my (recent) ex did. Working on the wedding together was a great experience. Plus, I got to design stuff..or rather, I had some input as she…

Congratulations on finally getting married! How awful to wait 15 years. Wow, 15 years is an accomplishment and testament to love even if you hadn't finally been able to be married. So, congrats in general.

Why can't we have both??

Yeah, I know all about getting to the store really fast. I am looking at my 48 in a 35 speeding ticket that I got on the way to the store a few weeks ago. Heh. My car can hold as many groceries as I can fit in the passenger seat. Luckily I am only buying for one person.

Wow, that trunk looks pretty huge. Many times larger than mine.

Wow, you don't see Qvale Mangustas very often. I have only seen one in person.

Agreed! I have a 351C and it is glorious.

Ah, another "nobody" - I think we are in the same club but hadn't met yet. Your last two sentences wrapped up why I thought we disagreed (when we didn't): one person's American Dream vs. another. Step one - safety and security. Step two - growth beyond the basics. Step three - F430.

I don't know his wife but do know he spent a lot on cars. For example, he sold a few other cars at the same time as the Pantera and bought a Mosler. Not sure if his wife knew about that. Heh.
