Well, I expect men to be respectful when approaching me, not aggressive but you do you. Unfortunately, I’ve seen what happens when a woman approaches a man and shows interest: apparently if she is not a super-model, the guy will laugh in her face and have his friends join in.

There are 6+ Billion people on this Earth. We’re not going to go extinct anytime soon. :P

What is Google? How can it be used?

Nooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it by chance one of these collars on the Anne Fontaine site?

I am so weary of hearing that police “fear for their lives” whenever they encounter a suspect. With crime rates at historic lows and with their (supposed) training, shouldn’t they be able to handle these situations better?

Cops manage to arrest aggressive and violent suspects all the time without killing them.

I have a very large family and there is at least one death a year. I don’t want to sound morbid, but I tend to buy handkerchief lots off of EBay and then wash and press them. When the next funeral comes around, I’m ready with a stack of pretty hankies by the sign-in book for people to grab and use.

I have a relative who has a substantial collection of Cape Cod dinnerware. She reminds me from time to time that I will be the one to inherit it as I am her “favorite.” Not sure what I will do with it when the big day comes.

Shelly IS a horrible person but she is not the thief here.

Who was it? Please tell. Was it Garbo?

“You are going to tell everyone about this, and try to ruin my life, aren’t you?”

I dunno. In my experience the “eye candy” tends to get promoted and are given cash bonuses while the women who are just there to work are quietly ignored. YMMV.

It’s true though, you don’t sound like a jerk at all. I am not a knockout but fairly “easy on the eyes.” I noticed when I was younger that when guys tried to flirt at work and I was “business-like” with them that some of them took it as a personal offense. I should have worked it better in my OP. It’s not so much “a…

I will never stop eating cupcakes! Besides, don’t you like having something soft to bounce off of? Get on over here and get to work!

They weren’t then either anyway. :/

That guy? NOTHING, absolutely nothing would make him feel guilty about anything that he said or did. If he wants me to replace my wardrobe so that my appearance is more pleasing to him then he can provide me with an appropriate expense account so that I can do so.
