This woman was a nanny. I'm betting she had a lot of responsibilities, but even so, taking care of kids full time in a home makes you a nanny. Whatever you want to call her though, the laws are the same.

Your daughters are lucky to have you! I hope the therapy continues to help.

You just made me feel normal. So thanks. I have the same reaction to the guy upstairs when he walks heavily or plays his damn analog radio in the bathroom where it echos down. Ugh.

YAY for giving it a shot! I hope your bravery gets rewards, sister.

Good! We can all ho or not ho to our own heart's content. :)

While I did not understand tea parties or dolls (I liked making furniture and houses for them, but couldn't play for the life of me). And while I admire 'hoes' and have frequently wished to become one, even for a short time or one damn night, I just don't have it in me. (Although, by Duggar standards I probably am a…

There was a big exhibition about her at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, TX. She's done so so much for female equality, even if she does not want the label.

My mom had a miscarriage at 48, nine years after her TUBAL LIGATION. She had already had six kids — five of them "surprises." I double up. Religiously.

So glad to know I was not alone in finding it inappropriate. Your comment just made me think of this too: he was bashing part of the product we're promoting. Besides everything else.

Thanks so much for the support. I really needed it. The guys were great today, actually. One took me aside first thing this morning to say he thought I did the right thing and to come to him if he ever did or said something offensive. The boss checked in with me a couple of times to make sure I was having a good day.…

That's a great point. Thanks!

Thanks so much, everyone. It can be hard to negotiate these issues on this kind of team. When we are not on the clock, I try to not be too sensitive about it — we work really hard, get super tired, and sometimes even my filter will make errors. (On the clock I never tolerate anyone treating a participant…

Thanks. I dislike that the guys will be on edge around me, but sometimes you have to do the ethical thing, right.

Speaking of possible misunderstandings/misperceptions, I would love opinions on this. I'm the lone woman working on a traveling team of guys, and we do production. Basically, we set stuff up so car salespeople can come learn about the new model. We spend too much time together on and off the job, so we have to get…

Yes, significantly. I'm curious to know what you are basing yours on.

Thank you for explaining that!

Experts have said that's actually not true. There's also no need for an all-or-nothing stance. I have not heard a single authority say that absolutely everything needs to go organic. There are also not just "some small farms" — some of us have many around us. It's a rapidly growing movement in many parts of the…

I still would not say impossible. But many organic farms are not large scale, and they can manage without pesticides and with a very minimal use of any chemicals.

"Impossible" is not accurate. My mom is a large-scale organic gardener, and she hasn't applied a chemical in my lifetime. Some plants (roses, etc.) are really tough to grow without them, but many many plants thrive. It takes applying lots of organic manure (her goats and poultry make plenty for her) so the plants will…

She said in the interview that she was dressed well — Donna Karan skirt.
