Hey Menopausal ladies,

You’d probably enjoy the show (I think it is on Amazon) Welcome to Sweden. The family speaks Swedish amongst themselves and there’s a lot of Swedish culture, too.

My mom doesn’t have this problem, but she’s a huge complainer. Every tiny thing. I have learned that it shuts her up fastest if I don’t respond in any way. I just sit there and blink.Since she gets no emotional reward from me, she moves on. It has actually gotten a lot better over time. Now she will catch herself and…

Maybe you could get that book “The Five Languages of Love” and use it to discuss what it is that makes each of you feel loved and appreciated. You could use the examples of the stuff he used to do.

I knew a pepper breeder who was the most fascinating guy. He just passed away last year. One of his last creations was a pasilla with skin so thin you don’t need to roast and peel it. It should be on the market in the next few years.

I had never thought of it before, but if I could get just grilled onions as a veg option....mmmmm.

Put in a little effort. You will soon figure it out. I have confidence in you.

Yes, I like to rinse my undercarriage.

I’m good on babby, but while we’re on girl letter things, I’d be happy if someone explained all these letter creams to me BB CC etc.

I have no idea, and I’m a woman.

That picture is great.

I wish people would stop with the adoption vs birth thing. They’re not at all the same and one is not a substitute for the other (and neither is a superior choice for everyone). Personally, I don’t want to have kids, but even a childless shrew like me knows that decision is waaaaaay too personal for me to impose my…

You DO NOT touch my Jorge Ramos. Watch your back, Donal.

Least surprising surprise ever. They always choose the most boring guy.

Great idea. I used to build in work blocks several days a week so I could actually get work done, instead of sitting through meetings, too.

Smart!

I have people who routinely try to schedule meetings for 6 am - they’re East Coast and I’m West. They know how time zones work. I always decline and request to reschedule “during normal business hours.” I don’t schedule meetings for them past 2 my time. It’s just polite.

The description is offensive on several fronts - first to women, then to journalism. It’s obvious that they’re looking more for gossip than real investigative reporting.

Exactly. I don’t care how much you love your work. Your work doesn’t love you. If you can’t think of some things you’d rather be doing with your family and friends, you probably need therapy.

I would not trade it for an office. I’m an introvert, so being in the quiet of my own home instead of with chatty Tina the cube neighbor and Flora, the co-worker who yells ALL DAY on the phone, and the people who cook fish in the microwave, and the freaky security guard who always wants to tell me his conspiracy…
