We'll have to agree to disagree. I do, however, appreciate your reasoned response.
I have not experienced much ageism. I am just above 50, and if anything, feel better than I did in my 40s.
I think part of my reaction is based on how skewed media is in its assessment of what "happens" to women as they age because it's…

The headline includes the words "old" and "sexy" as if they are antithetical. Why not "mature" or "aging"?

I truly believe you do not know how ageist this whole post is. Par for the course at a Gawker site.

That didn't take long. This is an appalling story. Do you think this guy would ever get out to play again in the US?

He said no one can comment on a country unless he or she lives there. That is what the OP said. That is what I was commenting on.
The sentiment that only people who live in a country have a right to comment on it is absurd.

No one hesitates to comment on American politics and culture, even if they aren't American. That's a good thing. Why is Lithuania so special?

I'm going for it:
This lady never had a "day in the sun." When I was a young woman, I noticed that the meanest older women never had a beauty high point. And by beauty high point, I do not mean gorgeous. I mean a period of life where a goodly number of men wanted her phone number. Things like personality have a hell of…

Trolling is the only way you achieve communication with women, isn't it?
So, my response to you is my good deed of the day.

I remember the tyranny of cap sleeves in former decades. You know what is even less flattering than sleeveless (which is the fashion enemy of many a woman AND man)?

I'd just say, sorry, the shipping discount applies in NA only. Period. Then have costs for other countries.
But maybe you could have an extra little something you throw in for a customer from another country—like 10 percent off next purchase.
Yes, I would be willing to contact you for a code. Your merchandise is…

I am an obsessive online shopper and will often not buy something I'm dying for if the shipping is too high. It's a real thing for me.

All fingers and toes crossed on your behalf.

My biggest gripe with GoT is that Martin gets to write about sex with underage girls with much lip-smacking relish because he's savvy enough to put humans in a setting not fully like our own.

As a lapsed Christian, I find people wearing the cross just for the look of it, offensive. I don't wear the Star of David as I think I should not, as a non-Jew.

Actually, if she wore a kimono, I'd think, God, white girls are so stupid.

The suburbs are mostly anonymous, even in small towns. We drive into our garages, lock our doors, and ignore each other. People with kids are more likely to know neighbors as their kids ride the buses and play together.

Every semester, there is at least one incredibly stupid white kid (I gotta admit, almost always a boy) in each class who says, "I don't see color."

I do believe it was "serial killer's abattoir."

Cassiebear, when it comes to commenting, you are a winner. And, as we all know, Jesus loves winners.

I remember Pioneer Girls. It was an organization designed to keep Irish Catholic girls like me (and my Jewish friends) away from pure, "true" Christian girls.
