    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    an interesting view, but not what i meant (i think). i'll try again. in response to the idea that women are damaged more seriously than men in posing nude (and by damaged, i am referring to a professional and seriously-taken reputation or image), i propose that this concept may be based on...

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    it's very possible that the subconcious notion is not that women are more greatly harmed by nude exhibition, but that their place at the outset is more precarious. i'm certain i've not chosen the right words, but i hope this makes sense.

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    i expect she was thinking her son might need a few things she couldn't provide on E3 pay. this was actually a large part of my argument. if the woman was in such dire straits that she needed outside employment to support her son, reducing her rank and withholding pay would certainly not solve...

    Listening to Serials

    there are several, from Sherlock Holmes to Gregory Hood (The Casebook of Gregory Hood was created by the Sherlock Holmes writers when Rathbone left, but the range of programs is actually fairly broad). i suggest you start by examining http://otrcat.com/detective.htm

    Listening to Serials

    i create playlists allowing me to listen to serials for hours as i work, but not hear the same program redundantly. once i created a playlist that mimicked the programs' original order. by this i mean i listened to the end of programs, when one might hear an announcer encouraging the audience...

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    during my military service (at a time i was fortunate enough to be in CONUS), my commander wanted to punish one of my troops for such activity. the proposed punishment, if memory serves, was not a dishonorable discharge, but a severe reduction in rank, withheld pay, and additional duty. i...

    Classic One Liners and Quotes

    "yes, you squashed cabbage leaf, you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns, you incarnate insult to the English language, I could pass you off as the Queen of Sheba." - Pygmalion, 1938 "i loaf, though in a charming and highly decorative manner." - Mildred Pierce, 1945 "we do...

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    the best sandwiches i've ever had were bagels and lox, made on a friend's iron in the barracks. we had two irons between us; mine was used as intended, and his was a bit of a kitchen when the mess hall fell short. i had never had bagels and lox before. i have since, but it never tastes quite...

    To MK

    i imagine that part of examining the lifestyle of another era is comparing elements of that era to our own. that would include religion, culture, and society, would not it? or should that be would it not? either way, i think comparing and contrasting trends and conventions in these areas must...

    The City Verus The Burbs

    i prefer the city, for the anonymity. there is a certain peaceful solitude in city life that i imagine a small town wouldn't be able to provide. in a small town, i expect a person is known, her habits are known, she is noticed. in a large city (i live in Los Angeles proper), a person is...

    Christmas without Christ? Huh?

    i expect one reason behind the reduction of winter holidays to a least common denominator has to do with the official observance. if christmas weren't an official sort of holiday, with mass business, bank, and government office closings, it would be more acceptable as a strictly religious day...

    How to handle a less desirable gift

    i'm generally honest. for example, once someone gave me cut flowers. i was genuinely happy that someone thought enough of me to give them. so, i quite honestly stated that i don't like flowers, and that it would make me very happy to go with the giver to a local hospital and give them to...

    Don't forget your POISE

    i rather thought it was the place of a parent or guardian to teach respect, and that well before a child entered school. i have no children, so i doubt my opinion is significant. are schools meant to teach respect? as to the idea of assets held by all women...i'm afraid i consider that a...

    Hat Tipping

    i see a number of gender rules running about in here. nothing wrong with that, but...i'm female, mid-20s, and i invariably tip my hat to my elders (well, unless my hands are full, which isn't so invariable). i also tip my hat when being introduced. my parents taught me to observe several...
