I was 15 when I read it, and it was hot off the presses then. It was an eye-opener for me into industry sexism, and sharply curtailed any plans I might have had of becoming a stew. It seems silly, but it sowed the first little seeds of feminism in me.

Glad to hear that Amanda is doing better. Still rooting for Heather to find solid ground again.

I found some Ruth Goodman documentary shows on YouTube and binged my ass off watching them. Ruth is badass when it comes to throwing herself into the full immersion time period experience. Love her.

I had forgotten about the biopic starring Stockard Channing as Kitty. Now I remember watching it in ‘79. Kitty was badass. Not only was she a fearless stuntwoman doing crazy stunts for Bionic Woman and then Wonder Woman, and whaddaya know besides...she’s deaf...but she broke land speed records, and water speed…

I still do an annual re-watch of LoM+AtA because Gene Hunt cracks me up.

After watching the gameplay vids and reading about RDR2 on this site, plus the nastiness of Rockstar’s crush I’ve come to the conclusion that AC Odyssey is the game for me. It fits more with my personal play style, bonus for Greece surroundings, and playing as a kickass female (I am an old kickass female) really…

Narcissistic sociopaths.

You must be doing keto like me. I have a serious hate for the foods that are supposed to be replacements for carb-y foods, like cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles. Spoiler: they do not taste ‘just like’ anything except cauliflower or zucchini. I am old and like my food to be just exactly what they are when they are…

I will sit here with you because I have never ever gotten the appeal of Cats the Musical. Is it a showcase of dance and song, or does it actually hang together with a plot of some kind? Over the decades whenever clips are aired it’s never been apparent to me. But I also read today that the BBC has a non-musical Les…

There is also the phenomenon that happens when you are so immersed in what you are working that when you look up again 2,3,4 hours have gone by when it seems like 15 minutes. My husband and I are lifelong geeks and both fall down that rabbit hole on a regular basis.

Dear heaven, Brandon: Take this as a clear sign that you need to get help for your mental health issues.

Amazing. And I’m happy to see Tina looking healthy

Wow. It’s called empathy: something caregivers give eachother when they finally have a minute to themselves and can log into their support network. Another way of saying it’s okay to lay down your burdens. But hey, sorry to hit a nerve

Having been a caretaker concurrently to my Mother (Alzheimers), and my sister (massive stroke), I was under no delusion about how hard it must have been for Jane while I was watching the movie (which I really liked, by the way, and thought was well done). I was also quite aware that events in their marriage as…

My husband and both had IT careers (I am retired now, he is still working). We used to refer to bosses like yours as having a severe case of “Founderitis”, and after working for a couple of them we learned to stay the eff away from those job offers. They simply have no ‘off’ switch, and they lack comprehension that…

Thank you. I came here to say exactly that. I don’t always care for the musicians Jake covers, but he weaves a great story so I stay to listen and sometimes learn a thing or two.

One of my favorites was very early on when Penny got hooked on online gaming and fell to cheesedust-covered mouth, unwashed haired slothiness. Y’know, the way we gamers sometimes do when a new level is fast approaching so we cannot stop playing. And then Leonard the Knight showed up in the game.

I will sit beside you on the sofa. It hasn’t all been great, and since it’s final season I will see it through — please give Raj a real woman by the end — but it’s time is well done now. Why someone who has never watched it and seemingly already has such hate for it was chosen to write this is one of those Jezebel…

I am new to the C&R Podcast, but I have been devouring each episode. I started listening out of order, but first up was the Jeannie C. Riley episode.  I was about 10 yrs old when the song was released and I remember a lot of press and appearances and then whispered gossip about her. The podcast did not disappoint at…

Somewhere Loretta Lynn is shaking her head and thinking ‘oh honey, stand by your man is so 1969'.
