I have seen that touched on in sci fi. I can’t remember the show, but a character gets the ability to read minds, and she is grossed out walking past men in the hall.

I will watch anything with Taraji P, Henson in it (although I have given up on Empire—that show has gone off the rails). I have never seen the original because it looked like it was nothing but product placement. Hey, let’s pretend to make a movie that understands women, but is really just a long Nike ad!

Has there ever been a President, at least since the civil war, who was this unpopular with military leaders? I remember a lot of grumbling during the Clinton administration about closing bases (because we had soooo many during the Cold War), but I don’t ever remember military leaders openly challenging the President…

I know a guy like that (several mutual friends, but he and I don’t hang out without them). He is in his mid-40s and wants to get married and have kids. He also wants a wife who is well-educated, athletic, likes to travel, and has a good career. Because he wants BABIES, that eliminates women his age, and women who are…

Smart woman. I told my husband that I didn’t want an engagement ring, I wanted a romantic honeymoon in Italy instead. It was a great decision, and no trinket could be as romantic as the gondola ride we took under the full moon.

I am surprised that only three quarters of married women wear them. I am the only married woman that I know who doesn’t have one (I didn’t want one because I think they are a waste of money and an obligation rather than a romantic gift).

I read something about the process. It used to be based on who the women who worked for People had the hots for that year. Then one of the men did an interview with them. Since then it turned into a publicity agreement between the magazine and who they pick.

I didn’t realize that. Who knew there were country musicians who thought that Nazis were bad?

Our department does one of those, and it is fun. I keep forgetting to get an ugly sweater to wear for it. People like to show off their cooking skills, so we get some great food. But don’t make me do something after hours.

I have noticed that the people who are either into brown nosing or have a clique of friends that reminds me of junior high look forward to the holiday party. The rest of us just want to go home and relax without those assholes.

Great story. As a much slower woman who runs, I love hearing about women like her.

Good. I am young(ish) and able bodied, but I stopped going to Walmart years ago, and one of the reasons was that the stores are so unsafe. They don’t staff the stores with enough people for the work to be done properly, so the aisles are always cluttered and there is no one to help you get stuff from higher shelves. I…

It turns out that not only are Republicans good at getting their people to the polls, they are good at getting progressives there too. Unfortunately, I don’t have much hope that the DNC will learn from this and not screw up 2018 or 2020.

Hiring more women and putting them in charge is certainly a start, but I have seen the “I don’t hire assholes” declaration backfire. If you have someone like Oprah who can’t admit that she is ever wrong, they double down when protecting assholes that they hire because you are challenging their decision making.

That is fascinating. Is the virgin Mary often represented in a vulva?

“But according to Mark Stidham, these complaints are not “entirely organic” and he believes someone is setting up the company by generating these allegations. As for who exactly that person would be, he doesn’t say.”

Yeah. Flying is stressful enough between dealing with security lines, cranky employees, and being crammed into a cattle car. If you prolong that flight and give me an extra layover because of a marital dispute, I will not be on your side.

We didn’t even have 39 guests.

I had never heard that about him.

We tore down the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room and put is an island, and I love it. The old kitchen was cramped as working in there was isolating. Now there is more light and whoever is cooking can talk to the other person or still watch TV. It is also nice when we have guests because they can…
