Love Mary Renault's stuff!

I hated it, too! It was an hour and a half (I think that is how long it was) "beat up on the female main character for laughs" exercise. She ends the film in totally worse shape than at the beginning, but it is all ok because she has a boyfriend????? Puh-lease. Spare me.

Yes, it is called the Lemon Test from the Supreme Court case Lemon v. Kurtzmann. But since it is a Federal Supreme Court decision, trying to get this into the ND Constitution is entirely redundant, and a waste of tax payer funds.

What about flipping the ageism around? "Yes, I suppose multi-vitamins and medicine have gotten a lot better since you were young. It is really great that I've been able to take advantage of it." *cheery smile* Or "I grew up in an area that believed in medical science and multi-vitamins. Not all areas of the

And these are the kind of men that give ammunition to the people who think that breastfeeding is gross, inappropriate and shouldn't be allowed. *facepalm*

For sure! Most bead shops offer great and affordable classes, too. I have a bunch of rocks I've polished, and now I just have to drill holes in them and make some stuff.

OK, that is weird! And with that major weakness it got published? That is some BS, right there. The publishers should have at least demanded a revise and resubmit. The concept is good, but the paper has no value if they didn't take all the obvious variables into account, such as the current economy. Frankly, even

Some navigation must be going on, as you're in a cab. I assume it is going somewhere. ; )

Nothing in the abstract implies that. Nothing in the abstract says that. My husband, a social scientist (poli. sci.), when I asked him his professional opinion on this, said that a marriage in which the female spouse is temporarily without outside employment, but has worked/intends to work/is looking but can't find

That would be fun....

No, it doesn't ignore that. It talks about "traditional" marriage roles vs. "modern" marriage roles. In modern marriage roles, one or both partners move into and out of the workforce for various reasons, while in traditional marriage roles, the male going into the workforce and staying in the workforce while the

If we lock them in a room together, they'll turn on each other quickly. THAT would be a "reality" show I'd watch!

Close enough.... : D

Not exactly. He manipulated and controlled the voting....

So, the people of The Netherlands are going to win, as they are, on average, the tallest people on earth?

I have a new transgendered friend in Minneapolis. I'm often scared for her, these days. Everything I hear from friends up there about CeCe's case really bothers me.

I totally understand! I've had a lot of really irritating days lately, some of them involving this type of stuff (spending time over the last couple of months with a group of women, most of whom are currently pregnant, and all who have kids, none of whom really talk to me, because they all wanted to share pregnancy

I really don't want to misunderstand you, but are you saying that you only will talk about women's reproductive rights with women who either are mothers or have been pregnant long enough to experience how complex it can be? That is what I'm reading with this sentence: "In other words, anyone who has no experience

Yes, yes, yes. Old books always, for their smell. And, hey, penicillin is mold (not that I'm down with that, as I'm allergic) and that mold cures people. : D

Actually, just about everyone has been really nice. They've all been confused when they find out that I don't have a degree. I'm smart enough, I'm just not good at the hoops that school requires.
