She’s not rejoicing, I’ve been driven out of jobs I loved (by non-sexual harassment) and of course the scum were fired after I left, and it made me so angry no one gave a flying fuck while I was the one being shit on.

Edit.

That’s good to hear. KLG was so down to earth and geez is she beautiful. I enjoyed chatting with her. I think it would be great fun to have dinner with those two. I’m good at being diplomatic LOL. 🙂

😂 OMG, that’s amazing. To share in your story of pain, we have a lovely, gentle, HUGE rescue Maine coon mix. I refuse to let him sleep in the bedroom because my gut told me he might get playful and claw my face while I’m asleep. My husband says that’s sad and no of course he’d never do that! Well, I’m sleeping on the…

Ugh they’re forcing you to work Thanksgiving? That’s terrible. I guess I was lucky, I worked some big chains but mostly mom and pop stores and they closed holidays. People truly are awful, and the ones shopping the most are the least civil to employees. The rudeness was a thousand times worse when their kids were…

Let me know if it’s a charity I can pass on the word about to my friends. I also online at a semi-science blog called In the barberry at Wordpress. I can try to add a link on my page. 💫

I worked retail for 17 years. After that it was vet clinics and animal shelters, and someone had to work holidays as well. But I found people in the spirit of the holiday slowed down to appreciate what they have. Not to say everyone should enjoy this time of year, but it’s the only time friends (and some family)…

Great stories. Cheers - I would love to travel and see how other cultures celebrate. Have you heard of Hygge and Fika? I think northern countries have such lovely ways of honoring winter.

Former veterinary nurse here. Cats are desert animals and can go a bit without water (though eventually leads to kidney damage, temporary or permanent) and a few weeks without food though cats are much more damaged by missing a meal than other mammals. (Obligate carnivore). There is probably decent oxygen inside the…

A lot of these symbols are from the Pagan ancients! This is not to deny you your feelings. You should still dislike Xmas, but it’s sad for me that many of my secular friends don’t enjoy it all. For me as a child it was about magic (I won’t bore you here, my comment in this post explains it). I like the controversy of…

Bless you, Kelly. The holidays are my everything. I celebrate Winter Solstice, but the vibe of love and celebration dies right after Xmas when it’s dark and cold. I’ve always become deeply depressed in January February. As a New Englander, snow was my magic. Now with pollution we don’t even have it until January (it’s…

“Stop it, you’re making me lactate”.

One answer: be poor. As a lower-income child raised by a single mom, the silliest things were like magic to me. Snow. An old oak tree on the way home from school. (We walked, and I would stop to chat with the tree every day). Any gift that lasted, like ice skates. Magic. Disagree with the toy suggestion. Young…

I’ve noticed that, but I’d like to think it’s because they are trying to get the facts right.,

And yeah exactly, I’ve never attacked anyone, thanks. And neither has Matt Lauer’s victims, WTF.

It was so gross. Honestly, if someone hasn’t been sexually assaulted or harassed on the job maybe they should keep their opinions to themselves. As an aside, I thought it was especially scummy of NBC to force the women to open these shows with their thoughts. Men? Anywhere? Beuller?

Yeah, I’ve watched this stuff since I was a child. I get depressed and this mindless stuff cheers me up, especially during the holidays. Get up, flip on Today, watch some drivel and it’s far lighter fare than what I deal with day to day. I adore Kathy Lee, I’ve actually met her and she’s incredibly gracious. You just…

Yeah, like, why was it the WOMEN who were forced to announce this? Did all the male superiors come down with rabies that day and couldn’t speak? It was wildly inappropriate to force his female costar to handle this at all.

Oh, Lord have mercy now Kathy Lee Gifford is chiming in. (Yes, I watch Kathy Lee and Hoda because they’re cheerful. Don’t judge me, I just love the holidays). She began SO well, saying when she was betrayed by Frank she “began to question myself, what was real”. Then she said we’ve all sinned and both the victim and…

On another note, Jezebel you kids are lighting up the world with this shit. Congratulations. I hope you never stop reporting this shit. This is a day for US. I was overjoyed when I read this, because I can hope some day it stops for me too. Love. ❤️ Cheers.
