Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
We are expecting them to overcome a rather deeply embedded imperative, there.
Let that be a lesson to everyone........if you want to become a President, actor or sports figure, remember eyes are watching.
"Even Kennedy was a known flirt" - hoots!!!
Can I nominate that as my understatement of the decade?
I am beginning to think it might be much quicker and less depressing to list those among the rich and powerful who have NOT ever taken advantage of their position.
Hope you're not stuck under the sink still
I have a good friend who was and still is constantly sexually harassed because of her looks. She looks like Samantha from "Sex in the City". She kept her ground and didn't take this casually. She knew exactly how to put that person in his place.
Pamzimmrrt, I bet a lot of older men are thinking who is going to come out of the woodwork regarding them, but things were different back then.
I think we need to concentrate on the more current group of men [and women] who are doing any harassing.
We are in late-nite plumbing trouble-the vanity sink that never really got installed has issues at the drain and elsewhere. There was a bucket under the trap (always, because I never trust plumbing not to leak) and a leak-the bucket was filled.
Going to have to intervene and force a stopping point now.
Pammzi, Can you please explain in what context did you mean that "no man is safe anymore?".
Did you mean not safe from accusations? Or something else?
He put things a bit into perspective on the topic last night - maybe you can catch it on you tube if not HBO
Just eating dinner - be back in a bit
Now, there's a man who doesn't give a whit what anyone thinks. I think I'd like to get a talk show and just run my mouth off all day. What fun!
Yeah, I had my share of unwanted sexual attention in my day. I was pretty good at putting people in their place. There is flirtation and then there is harassment. Some men can't tell the difference. And women..........Did anyone see that movie with Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. I forget what it was called. She sexually harassed him in the movie.
These admins are really good! Really fast!
Must have run out of things to worry about on a Saturday nite!
Was just wondering if Santa will change his hairstyle this year.....
more like famous orange hair with funny bangs.
You really should have gone just to check out Santa, Cwillie. A sort of preview to see if the kiddies will be safe this year, or scared.
Oh, it means "expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm". Simply "whatever".
I love the little word Meh.
Stopped using it though when I looked it up for someone.
Maybe my use was wrong, but I still don't know what it means...lol and Meh.
Maybe it is only for the use of the popular people. Meh.
(edit) Seriously though, if you want to start a hot thread pretend to be a teenager looking after grandpa because your mom is a drug addict and your auntie won't help because he sexually abused her.
Should I say something really controversial now and set something in motion? What does everyone think about Harvey Weinstein and all that nonsense? Am I allowed to discuss this on here? We'll see I guess. :)
I wonder if its because our American friends are getting ready for Thanksgiving, enjoying the college football games and getting ready for those Black Friday deals. Send tells me you are another Canadian. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I've been back and forth about posting but Send has been very encouraging. Take care.
Was so busy doing paperwork....had to take a funny-break on here today.
My new place is good..........still getting used to it. It still doesn't feel like home but it's only been a little over a month.
Hey, Send I'd rather be quiet and be considered a fool than to open my mouth and remove all doubt. :)
How art thou?
Hope your Mom makes it through this Ms Madge it is very serious.
A neighbor was discharged to home with an R.N. visiting with the I.V.
Taking the private caregivers home, visiting R.N., and a possible palliative care team,....
would that work at all?
