You sound like you fell through that rabbit hole - how do you like life in 1963? It must be nice to come back to 2015 so you can post on this board!

I'm pretty stupid, Neesy (that should be apparent), but I'm not stupid enough to contradict an entire gender that routinely contradicts itself.

You just made it sound so idyllic - the man hard at work at his job while the little lady stays home. It reminded me of the old days - yes I AM that old

I'll tell you what's funny:

I re-read my original post when you quoted it and thought (as I often do), "Well, I could have said it better than that."

Quite frankly, the idea that the girls are at work, too, is one of the best things about what the people who raised me called "Women's Liberation," as far as I'm concerned. What I meant was that we all have to come home at some point, and if the ladies would rather work with us (instead of working with each other and then coming home to bytch about their distaff colleagues), that's perfectly fine with me.

Now I'm going to get out of here quickly . . . before I get skinned alive.

You know it's a Monday when your kid is home sick and you forget to call the school to tell him of his absence. Ooops! Stupid Mommy moment.

Well . . . moms have a hard job.

Harder than school administrators, at any rate ( or so it seems to me ).

My guess is that they will notice that your son is not there when it turns out -- after cursory investigation -- that he is . . . you know . . . not there.

Amen to THAT sister! Not to be a traitor to my own sex, but not only did I work with a group of women who did not have enough guts to say something to your face but there was a cultural divide too.

(Most were immigrants from the Philippines). I don't understand why they cannot just come out and say something to your face. All this subterfuge and putting on a polite face, only to hear them criticize another person when they are not there. It is enough to drive a person insane.

It nearly did drive me insane. Thank God I am not in that office anymore.

I did not realize how good I had it in the military, where the majority of my coworkers were men.

Men are much easier to work with... not as much drama , usually. Up front, honest, speak your mind kind of people whether you like them or not are much better to be around. At least they don't pretend to be nice and play stupid kid games.
drama drama drama

Daaaawlin.. in this day and age, mummies have to call the school when their children are home sick... regardless of how much investigation it takes to realize the child is not there. Just a modern day inconvenience they throw at us.

Or daddies could call..

Here's a random thought:

There are questions that should not be answered.

But I never know what those questions are.

There is a quality of light that helps a person understand distance, and sometimes that light floods the mind . . . and causes us to forget.

So it's the lighting that causes my forgetfulness?? Good.. I'm not getting old after all

My daughter was home from college over the weekend. I took her shopping for a winter coat and she wanted to stop at Halloween City on the way home. She was looking for a Donald Trump mask because she wanted to drive her professors and liberal college friends nuts. While there, I saw a Pennywise costume noting Stephen King’s name and his work “IT” on the packaging. I was wondering who licenses it? Is it the folks who hold title to the movie rights, the publisher or King himself?

I don't know who (if anyone) licensed this, but it's not Steve. There seems to be a pattern lately of companies capitalizing on merchandizing without bothering to obtain permission from the persons/corporations who created the property in the first place probably because they rarely get called out on it for a number of reasons. In this case it probably should have been both Steve and whatever entity currently holds the rights to the mini-series as the production company for that is where the design for the Pennywise costume originated.

I know if I take a nap I'm going to get woken up by a phone call from school (kiddo left here in a bad mood this morning).
If I don't take a nap, my phone will never ring.

All the articles and reviews are submitted (for this week, anyway--lol) Now I just want to sit and not think. But last week I let LilMan invite his friend with the OCD mother over for this afternoon, so... a-cleaning I will go. This blows

 

[not_nadine]

The OCD mother is coming with the kid? That's truly bad.
