They’re waiting until the auction? Perhaps with a certain billionaire iceberg?

Me too please?

This continues to astound me. We use these chemicals in a clean room, and they must be used under a hood. The chemical doesn’t become less dangerous because it’s being used as a beauty product!

What are airline are you flying? If for some reason I show up at an airport in a suit, I can guarantee I will be in jeans and a hoodie by the time I make it on the plane (yes, including the times I get bumped to first.)

If you have a high opinion of Charlotte, you have not seen an airport outside the US. Somehow I’m always running from E to the end of B...

Serious question: I’m a fan of Victorian literature, but I’ve never come across any erotica. Any suggestions?

This is a situation she can only win by staying quiet. Given what we’ve learned, there’s a high probability she’s been harassed in some way, and that will probably do more damage to her than to him if it comes out. No other network would touch her if she came out for Ailes, and if those offers don’t materialize, she…

I am so very sorry. Hugs, and please take care of yourself.

You and me both. Not to be too tawdry, but she did get a primetime slot....

Paging Grace Hopper....

The Quote.

The quote that is always the first thought after tragedies like these. The one that always brings out trolls that insist we consider their poor feelings, and how much more important they are than our lives.

I’m in engineering in an area which tends to be conservative, so I go for trousers and a nice top. I used to do lots of collared shirts, but ironing was a pain in the ass, so I flipped to the more standard “work” professional shirts that don’t need ironing that you can find in any department store. My next review, my…

Looking at it, there was no response I could have made that would not have made them more pleased with themselves. Sometimes the best way to win is not to play :)

You’re not that much older than me, and also I have dogs rather than cats :)

This post really brought all of us out. I’ve been half thinking we need an ex-WELS specific support group, although the other half just wants to forget and move on. Not that I really can, because my immediate family is still very WELs.

They like the corporal stuff too. I have literally had a bible thrown at my head for not memorizing shit during confirmation. Usually just pens and chalk, but the bible was memorable.

So yes, they are very fucked up.

I’m always torn on these- mostly I just want to give the kids a hug and get them the fuck out of there. Public schools can be mediocre, but it’s not worth the internalized oppression they’re going to get.

But yes, WELS also needs to stop being assholes.

I am really sorry you are going through this, and sorry for you mom too. It is incredibly hard to break out of some of these mental habits. Again, it’s been a long time since I’ve been WELs, but I still am finding things I had no idea I internalized. It does get better.

You sound like you’ve done an awesome job finding…

Don’t forget no voting! Never forget, your husband can vote for you ;)

Brief story, ~15 years after I left I received a “loving” letter to try to bring me back into the fold. I set it aside and thought about how I should respond for a while, but before I could do anything I received a second letter, excoriating me for my rudeness in not replying and letting me know that not only was I…
