From what I hear, we may be seeing the Bill/Portia storyline take a dark turn so I'm betting they follow through with this one.

Thank you. I am not a SAHM but I can see where this shit is heading and I want no part in it.

I tend to think that if you can't even understand the struggles of women or consider them in your decisions, it's likely because you don't view women as equals and that's part of misogyny. I would be open to other evidence but all the mansplainers and douchebags of this world continue to promote this confirmation bias.

So really, if you lose your job or you go on long-term disability, no credit cards? You just mail them back with a letter to the CC company? Is that what the consensus here is? Because I'm seeing a heck of a lot of "no job, no cards" and I have to wonder if you really believe in that ideology.

Honestly the only difference I see is the intent but it still exists because of misogyny.

Well, if you lose your job make sure to hand your card over.

I remember my aunt telling me about how she couldn't get a credit card after she became one of the first no-fault divorces in the state because she couldn't have a husband sign up for one and women weren't allowed. She then said the bank offered to let her father sign up for one and give her a second card to which she…

I'm noticing a lot of people missing the point when they mention things like being from a coastal city and visiting the Midwest is a culture shock too. This isn't just about culture shock, this is class warfare in action. In a way, you can't really rise above what you once were without denying your past.

Half the people I see frothing about the verdict don't understand why they can't have a retrial against Casey. I think reasonable doubt is way over their heads. / whydidiacceptfriendrequestsfro...

She was right that they shouldn't be out there and it wasn't safe. A police officer was hit by lightning from this storm during the recovery and later died: [www.worldweatherpost.com]

Girl, your mom walked into Plaza Frontenac mall in St. Louis with the GOP credit card and came out looking respectable. I saw what she wore in Wasilla and it wasn't anything Bachmann or lawyers would copy. Don't pretend your mom has style just because she has a credit card and a bumpit.

Missouri was already hit with a similar but not as batshit law last decade. It's how we lost our Springfield abortion clinic. Honestly, if people in Kansas will now have to drive to St. Louis for an abortion, they might as well drive the extra half hour into Illinois where it's a mythical land of no waiting periods or…

But Texas has the castle doctrine where you can shoot anyone who is a threat to you or your property. The threat can be simply a trespassing offense, you don't even have to have a weapon in all cases.

At a technology firm, our entire marketing team ended up transferring, taking a permanent leave of absence or just quitting because of a micro-manager. Last I heard he now has to do the jobs of 6 people because of the 5 of us that left.

I'm with you. It's one thing to be part of a private sex scandal involving hurt feelings and broken relationships. It's quite another thing to send sexual pictures of yourself to non-consenting women, which both he and at least one woman have confirmed took place.

That's true here in Missouri, even for witnesses. If you are a crime victim or witness, ask if you can give your statement without your social and most cops will oblige. My boss asked us to look the other way and not enter victim/witness socials and only criminal ones but not everyone was as protected by other…

My husband and I go through a pitcher a day. We're tea fanatics here. I cannot imagine my life without my Mr. Tea.

I meal plan. First I shop my pantry/fridge for any overstock or expiring goods so I can use those up and plan a meal using that item. If I'm low on meat, I move on to shopping the sale ads for a low cost meat that I can plug and chug into my menu. About this point I look at my meals I've planned and see if I've…

The kids never take care of you. They'll be poor too.

Story of my life.
