Oh my dear, you are so precious in your assumptions.

I’m very happy you’ve not experienced sexism in regard to standards of dress. Good for you.

“It looks like you’re the one sounding off on other peoples’ clothing.”
I am pointing out the irony of the situation. They make minimal effort in maintaining their appearance but want to dictate that of others.

I really don’t trust the entirely electronic voting machines. I’d prefer something along the lines of a lottery slip that you mark up, then put into the machine to confirm and count your vote. If you make a mistake on the slip, you’ll see it on the screen and can tell it don’t count yet and it’ll spit it back out so

I’d like to also suggest that men keep to themselves unsolicited opinions on women’s clothing, hair and makeup choices. It amazes me that people who wear the same outfit every day for years feel that they’re qualified to dispense fashion advice to everyone of the opposite gender.
Thank you men for your myriad of

Late in life surprise pregnancies happen. My great-grandmother was 60 when she started feeling sickly in the abdomen and thought there was something really wrong but it was just a pregnancy.
I’m told there was a lot of fear for her health and safety, to the point where it was decided that my grandmother would take the

I got a “free” cut once out of it. I told the stylist as we discussed the cut that I don’t want layers or anything like that because I won’t hold a curl.

...just don’t eat Miss Annie’s casserole, poor dear’s got dementia and there’s no telling what she put in it. What, not let her bring a dish? Do you WANT to hurt a poor old lady’s feelings? We’ll just sneak it out to the zombies when she’s not looking.

Don’t forget our awesome bats!

Well, some of the first microchips were developed by a Texas company and the tech industry continues to innovate and thrive here. You’d be amazed at how many of your gadgets have parts developed or code written in the Lone Star State.
The largely rural nature of our state means that we have excellent agricultural

Lol. I love to hear that argument whether it’s people proposing secession of the north, south or Texas.

We’ve got culture: visual arts, performing arts and glorious food.

If you only get drunk in Austin, it’s because you never leave the bars.

Thank you!

I wonder if they have a subscription service like a poop-of-the-month club. Bonus if it arrives in different looking packaging each time.

Maybe it’s reverse psychology. “If we say we don’t like it and imply it’s a Man’s idea (paternalistic), maybe the wingnuts’ll leave it alone.”

I’ve witnessed a few “Do you know who I am?” people in the last few years and usually end up muttering to myself that it’s clearly Mr. Stevens.

Go with fireman. Most I’ve met are good folks.

Or maybe they stuck to fresh produce, which would leave no evidence. My, Mrs. Smythee sure grows a lot of squash!

18th and 19th century ladies clearly had the equivalent of a porn buddy...someone who, in the event of your death, would quietly sneak over and dispose of anything undignified before anyone else goes through your things.
