There with you. I have twins, thankfully they mostly have the instinct to not meltdown simultaneously. It's the fighting that kills me. Oddly, one jas epic melt downs because she tired, the other because she id hungry. Sometimes I run out of situations like Cinderella because a timer goes off in my head and either it…

do anything to distract the kids and show your empathy to the parent! Joking, smiling tenderly, anything to support the parent and distract the kid.

I agree wholeheartedly. I can see the male sexist pigs coming from a mile away and I have worked for so many perverts, I can handle that. I like to say that I am excellent with children, dogs and men.

I never thought of it that way, passive aggressive. I guess since I lived in Paris so long and lots of people scream there -or at least are cuttingly blunt quietly - it didn't occur to me. But I thank the gods that empathy and communication skills are hot topics in management right now. High time that "soft skills"…

I can understand her point of view, as well as those who are in non-monogamous relationships. But personally, I can only be attracted to one man at a time. If I get the impression that he isn't totally into me anymore, I lose sexual interest. Oddly, I am not jealous, tho I have had a lot of relationships in my life.…

see, I disagree. As a mother, most people who have stabbed me in the back professionally were women. Sure, back in the olden days men would grab my breasts and ask for blow jobs, but most of the time it was women who did the really wicked, twisted stuff.

I was going to post all this great stuff about France, Germany, Spain et al taking American tech companies to court in Europe and winning, but there is so much that it would be overwhelming.

They SAY they prohibit all depictions of nudity, but we all know that they have a very bizarre sense of nudity. It all comes down to breastfeeding vs. strippers.

European law has nothing to do with American law and free speech is interpreted differently in each Euro country. Corporate law is, as well. Facebook has pretty big offices in Paris, the site operates in French, for France. Private?? No. Our definition of private does not entail earning billions off a "private"…

I have worked in law firms in Paris and what I think they are bringing up here is that the man has a right to complain, particularly if Facebook in France is in French and they have offices there. Plus social media is notorious for their flipflopping on ethics and moral issues (pix of breastfeeding - no, pix of…

I agree. I don't like seeing the samples hanging on a rack, in pelts, but people have got to stop with the generalisations. There is a world of difference between Velveeta and and artisanal Brie.

I am going to have to politely disagree with something. I worked in design studios in luxury fashion houses and we did NOT take fur that was subpar. We paid a fortune even for samples and they had to be PERFECT in every way. An animal in a miniscule cage, unclean surroundings, malnourised, etc. Will not have a healthy…

sometimes the sex was so bad, I broke up with him, we eventually became friends and then I TOTALLY FORGOT WE EVER HAD SEX.

She has so much filler in her cheeks that it looks like she has golf balls under her skin. clearly she needs some validation by the public, or she wouldn't go so far.

Ok, I correct myself. I know the word "Hispanic" comes "Hispania" but because I grew up in California as a child, the word "Hispanic" means "Latino American" to me. When I moved to Spain and lived there, the word "Hispania" referred to their history, but people didn't refer to themselves as "Hispanic". They referred…

But I have lived for decades in Spain, Italy and France and no one ethnically from there refers to themselves as "Latino". They call people from South America "Latinos". Everyone in Europe knows there is a big difference between Latin the language and Latino the people. The dictionary says "Latino" refers to the…

whaaaa? What is this about?? Do tell!

Maybe they get worse if they go to the US??? Then again, I didn't work in The City, so maybe I missed something.

Oh that is wierd, because I have never had a problem with English men (lived in London for 5 years). I live in Europe and this former Goldman Sachs from NYC just entered our social circle, my god, what an idiot! He really doesn't get that Bro Culture is public here is taboo.

I am a little confused about women with Italian names being "Latina". Santana ok, but Flavia? And Valeria Giramonte??
