DISQUS

I must talk to you about a dragon after February 10. I'm sorry, handcrafted toys must continue, even if they have to go underground.

Hey, my grandfather crochets, mostly when he's sick or in some other way unable to work in his shop. He made me an afghan.

Hi Maria! Thanks for the birthday wishes for Trey! Sorry to hear your little guy is sick, my kids just got over the flu bug. Rough times!! Hope he is feeling better soon. Take care..

awwww...I love animals, too. Although I despise cleaning up after them and as I'm quite picky about the cleanliness of the floors in the house it leads me to get quite anxious and bitchy at times. :) Esp. now that my 8 year old has a new puppy.

Not boring, no...but I have nothing really scintillating to say today.BR/BR/Thank you for your kind words...I really appreciate them, as always.

OMFG...what the hell is wrong with people?? I wish I could say I thought it strange that you wrote about the same thing today, too, but it seems to be becoming more and more common. BR/BR/Bastards!BR/BR/Oh...and tell Savage that catalog companies DO give out credit in this country. I get catalogs that say I've been "pre-approved" all the time!

OMG...I so would have lost it! I DO NOT miss working in retail...do not, do not, do not!!BR/BR/*HUGS*

Thank you so much! i love oceanlane!

Thank you so much! i love oceanlane!

That is very exciting and encouraging!

oh, shoe shopping!! take me, take me!!! :)

That does look cute!

Congrats to you and the rest of the recipients! (I love Lunanik!)

You wrote this so beautifully and powerfully! I would've resorted to merely ranting.
But it does make me thankful that my office is completely void of any gender bias.

The business world is changing. We still have a long way to go before every office is free of gender bias, but at least there are some out there now!

Here's my question. I'm one of those HTML dummies that has to copy and paste the href links! Would Live Writer be too advanced for me? 'Cuz I'm a little scared...

I'm new to your blog, but as a reader, I love going to blogs where I have no idea what to expect from post to post.
I hope you continue to be varied.

And I find the blogosphere much less annoying than the people I see every day IRL!

Damn, I don't know how to comment on this. There's a part of me that wants to make you laugh about it (like "and did you smack her for that?"), but I don't know if you're ready. There's a part of me that wants to reassure you that it'll be okay, she didn't mean it the way it sounded, but I don't want to belittle your feelings. There's a part of me that wants to try and tell you I get it, but I don't want to sound patronizing. So I'll do what you did on one of my rants: :(

I've never called myself one - I'm totally with you on that - but I so badly want to be called a MILF!!

Totally with you on #2. Also, agreeing with me politically tends to really turn me on.


Give us a warning before you post your sex scenes. I'll need to be sure I'm stocked up on batteries!

I seriously don't get people who don't swallow. So much easier!

Man, these bitches are STUPID to be fucking with you, Maria!!
I had to leave a mommy online group, too, because of some fucking inconsiderate holier-than-thou condescending BITCH - who couldn't even spell!!

Don't drive in L.A., hon. That is, unless you want to commit a drive-by shooting!! These people will drive you insane.

I'm so glad you wrote this. Especially since you've said something that I've felt/wondered about at times, too - about the women having more of the control when it comes to stuff like that.
I'm sorry if anyone has looked down upon you for not completing HS. Clearly, anyone who has is an ignorant fool that hasn't taken one minute to get to know you because that's pretty much all it takes to know what a capable, intelligent woman you are!

I think it was a very honest review (big surprise - Maria? Honest?), but helpful to the reader. Interested in reading about eating disorders? Go here. Not? Don't bother! Told me exactly what I needed to know.

Thanks for writing about it!
You know I'm with you on this for the most part, but I'm still debating the choice question myself.
