I commented on the Sunday morning reference and that sentence is now gone. The lawyers dismissing her is correct - each side has a certain number of dismissals they can use as they interview potential jurors. Weinstein’s lawyers probably used one of theirs to dismiss her.

Wait - she entered the courtroom on Sunday morning? You mean Monday, right?
Remember Candy’s shoes? Like a mule with a high heel but ugly. They were so uncomfortable that I’d wear one pair of shoes to school but then change into my Candy’s at school because I thought they were cool. Ugh - to think of it now.....
Unfortunately, every headline in every newspaper or online media outlet has the Spacey issue as the first thing noted about this man. It’s incredibly sad that that’s how people will remember him rather than for the things he accomplished in life and his willingness to talk openly about his mental health issues.
Many of us who live here love it!! And I most likely will never leave. WE’re actually pretty nice too - I offer to help tourists all the time with directions - I usually hear from tourists that they’re surprised at how nice NYers are. Not sure where you were that the people were so homogeneous and only talking about…
The article states that they vented about their frustrations at work in those groups - that’s what I was referring to in my response to you. Your post states: “You are not really owed “private” spaces in corporate life, so that’s a bit of youthful BS.” and “If people wanted a place to bitch about coworkers and the…
Actually, employees are entitled to private space to speak about the company without company interference. The National Labor Relations Act provides employees certain rights in the workplace whether they are unionized or not. These rights include the right to discuss wages and working conditions amongst employees,…
Regardless, saying she’s stupid and that they are fucking idiotic is unnecessary and mean - the way you said it in response to me is much more civilized.
You’re not alone - I’m one of 7 and there are 11 children amongst us. Add in spouses and the crowd was 25 or so. Now, the kids have kids and do their own and my siblings holiday with their kids and grandkids so my daughter (only 13) and I are often alone. It breaks my heart for my daughter because she loves being…
For a response to a post about older women judging younger women about child-bearing it’s interesting that you are now judging the older woman because she doesn’t have the same views about money and saving that you do.
I do too and I absolutely do it in NYC (where I live) and get shit all the time. But I don’t care - I think it tastes better that way!!!
I am among the baby-partnered crowd - although now it’s more like the teen-partnered crowd. I’m in my 50s, dated a ton when I was younger but never found the right guy and knew that I wanted to be a mother more than a wife. Adopted my girl when I was 45 and it’s been a wonderful life together - I wouldn’t trade a…
I was forbidden from watching it as well but we snuck it one whenever we could. I was one of 7 and my mother didn’t always pay attention so we go to watch a decent amount. I was pretty young and got scared very easily and my older brothers used that to their advantage many, many times!
I heard for years that Lauer and Natalie Morales had a long affair but that it was consensual. She was pushed out of Today in 2016 for no apparent reason and put on an NBC gossip show in CA. Rumor at the time was that his wife found out about the affair and he went to the mucky mucks and said ‘she goes or I go’.
If it’s not your thing then why bother to even comment? Just to be mean and try and make others feel small? Don’t you think your time would be better spent saving the world you’re so worried about?
I’ve posted this before but I think worth posting again. After fighting lymphoma for years my father was at the last stage of his life. My mom and us kids were all there taking shifts so he was never alone. On one shift my brother and I were sitting with my Dad and he pulled the covers back a bit and said ‘what side…
I recently tracked down someone that my friends and I (the “popular” kids) bullied. Found her on FB and sent a long DM apologizing and told her I’d thought and felt bad about for years. She was lovely and said she didn’t remember me saying that much - it was others in the group who were brutal. I’m so glad I did it -…
I’m so sorry to hear your pain. Know that there is a way out - I have been where you are many, many times. I knew exactly how I’d kill myself and actually made sure I always had enough pills on hand to do it if I ever finally decided to go ahead. I’m very lucky that I could share all of this with my sister who has…
FYI - it’s legal counsel. Council is usually used to refer to a governmental body of some kind.
