The whole reason he became the ambassador to France was because of the ladies.

I love Grier! She's such a badass.

I understand. But consider that those strangers are probably part of some woman's life. All we can do is try to affect the circle of people around us. Hopefully, if women can get one or two men to listen and empathize, that ideology and those values can spread.

Oh, please do.

Doug Barry, please contain your exceptionally long and hard to follow sentences. I could say really cutting things now, but I'm trying not to.

The Mud Festival is SO FUN!

Hanging out with my brother and his Navy corpsman roommate really puts things into perspective for me. Even when their weird/creepy friends are over too, no one is going to mess with the baby sister of the 6'6'' guy and his Navy buddy. Hanging out with shorter/smaller guys, it's not really the same.

Men being rational and sane people and NOT RAPING.

I don't deal with this every day, because thankfully the guys I work with are out of the office most of the time at their appointments, and I've made clear my boundaries to the ones who come in. I am reminded of my brief visit to NYC, though. I was so tense all the time on every street. I felt like I couldn't breathe…

If it weren't for the phone, she'd be saying "Check, please."

Adventures in co-dependency. Now there's something novel-worthy.

It somehow manages to take two delicious things and make them worse by combining them. The logic of this confuses and angers me sometimes, but then I just eat a good cookie and all is right.

Whenever I see this car and read the name on the back, I see "Velociraptor" but then I am forced back into reality and sadness.

I hate M&M cookies. Obama Mama all the waaaaaaaay!

Yes! The rice bin makes everything SO MUCH EASIER.
