Thanks for sharing your story! It's brave to speak out after being manipulated by someone for so long. <3

Re: 10 Ways to Keep Your House Clean WITH KIDS

My dream space would be a big bright craftsman home with lots of sky lights and open windows and a cozy home office. All hardwood floors with brightly colored rugs.

My favorite features of the DC59 have to be the carbon fiber bristles for picking up the fine dirt and dust from the hardwood, and that it captures the microscopic dust. Living in LA our house is filled with so much dirt and dust and I hate having to lug out our big vacuum every few days! So the size and portability is also a fav feature. We’d mount this on the wall and it’d be so easy to grab and do a quick round over the floors! I’ve been dreaming of owning a Dyson so I would be SO happy to win this!

This dream space campaign has me thinking up so many possibilities! My dream space would be a big bright craftsman home with lots of sky lights and open windows and a cozy home office. All hardwood floors with brightly colored rugs.

Re: It Happened to Me: You Guys Hurt My Stupid F*cking Feelings

It's interesting that you're so focused on calling someone else out that you're completely missing the fact that you are arguing (in bigoted fashion) opposite opinions here.
You're right, this is journalism. That's precisely what the first post was, un-opinionated, unaltered, professional journalism. Daisy was given an assignment to interview an author and use the same five questions that are always used. She did that. She didn't add her feelings or opinions of his behavior, because that wasn't the intent of the interview. The interview was not titled, "Daisy's opinion's of Tucker Max's behavior." Therefore, you didn't get that. She did not share, either way her opinions of who he is, or what he does. In this post, she very openly let you know that she was going to share he feelings and opinions. If you believe that feelings and opinions are not valuable sources of content, then don't read them. Daisy's feelings are her own. And that's the wonderful thing about feelings (different from opinions), they are her's and real and valid. You don't have to agree with them. They are hers, not yours. If you do not agree that they add value to your life, don't read them. If you are embarrassed by them, be embarrassed. It's not necessary though to project your feelings of embarrassment on "EVERYONE."Daisy is an incredibly strong writer, and person who shows an even more incredible amount of professionalism in what she does. The most wonderful thing about xojane, is that it is a place for women to share. And though it's the internet (so no one *has* to play along), the general premise of xojane is that even if we don't agree with one another, we respect one another. The outrage shown in the comments of the Tucker Max post was disrespectful, and hurtful. And unfortunately, that's apparently deemed acceptable and encouraged amongst women in our society, so I guess no one is really to blame. Thanks Daisy for being honest, professional, and willing.

Ditto to our other smart lady friends' comments. I'd help you in a heart beat. But, I think another little gem of self discovery here in your opening up to the idea of wanting a partner in crime, is also about the idea of asking for help. It's sometimes hard to remember (as @adholden and I discussed at length recently) that you have to ask for help. Whether it be from a boyfriend, or platonic friend. We all need help in different ways, and more times than not, we *need* to be explicit about 'how' so other people can come through for us. We feel more comfortable being vulnerable to a significant other, because yea, there are those other intrinsic benefits you can offer in return for the help.
In its simplest form, asking for help is showing your vulnerability to someone with an inherent trust that they will come through. And that can be scary. Also another reason why asking a sig other to help is easy, because that trust as been built.
I'm happy for you and your process and wish I were there to help you move the rug, or with anything else!

Re: - This is going to be BIG! - Looking to buy a new road bike

stephdub — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 14:10:33 -0000

I love love love my Allez Sport. I was looking for something lighter and faster than my 30yr old Motobecane bullhorn bared city rider that could be used to commute as well. The goal: nice enough for long rides, but functional, sturdy and affordable enough for comfortable city riding too.

I ended up buying a used Allez Sport that, at the time, was almost two years old, with a total of only about 300 miles on it. It had some upgraded parts (shifters) and overall it was a steal.

Once I tinkered and made adjustments to fit my body and ride style it became the perfect bike. I use it for commuting/riding around the city, and can go on longer rides comfortably and with the right equipment.

Basically, I say Specialized FTW.

Re: Reciprocity is broken

twitter is an unusual beast in the fact that there are no 'workflows' or 'scripts' requiring any level of mutuality, whether it be interest, knowing, care, knowledge or intent. and, it is considered a "social" networking/media site. last i looked (which was 30 seconds ago) social (adj.) was defined as 'relating to or designed for activities in which people meet each other for pleasure.'

yet, there is no 'relating' or 'each other' needed to have an active life on twitter. that doesn't mean that twitter is unsuccessful. on the contrary, thomas, you seem to perfectly represent success on twitter (caring about and engaging with your community) without necessary reciprocity.

it is clear by the comments below that every person has their own, individual reason for using twitter. and, therefore, their own thoughts on following and not following one another. because they can. and there are no (inherent) consequences.

when we begin to redefine 'social' in a way that takes out the "each other" we must also reexamine the norms.

so far, there is no new definition for this new form of social so it's each man for himself to determine which rules/norms to follow.

i think you'll be the first to agree that the industry preaches transparency and genuineness on the web for a reason. it is the easiest way to let people know what 'rules' you are following.

for now, it's almost impossible to please everyone, when everyone has their own reasons, interests and needs from twitter.

i think if you are sure to be transparent in your message (ie: this post : ) the rest will come together slowly...
