Yay marriage! Glamcookie being pretty is not news, but I am still pleased to hear it.
ION, I am mad at ME. I forgot my therapist's appointment. I swear I knew it, I checked it yesterday, but it did not occur to me once all day today. I merrily went out to take advantage of the NOT RAINING and went to Harvard Square and had a burrito and went to Lush and came back to Kendall and got a iced mocha and lalalalala, and... yeah. I just did this a couple months ago too. Maybe even last month? Not long ago at any rate. This is an annoying new habit I tell you what.
Yay, marriage!
The UW women's teams are, unfortunately, the Husky Women.
I have found that checking and questioning my assumptions is a good thing. Mostly, I do it in the context of anti-racist self-education. Lots of things that don't seem loaded or harmful from inside the privilege (spelling hard on phone) bubble are, once you step outside it.
Oh, and I meant to add: Scrappy, I'm glad your BiL is getting some family help.
Also, thanks for the gay support :)
GC, I'm so excited for you both! Happy Nuptials!
MM, do you have another cow? I'm not ready to order it just yet, but just checking in case I do.
I'll start fueling the cow now, just in case.
Now I can get married tomorrow (!!!)
Go you, Glam, and your Soon-To-Be-Wife.
Ya for GC getting married!!! (now that tune from My Fair Lady pops in head) "GC's getting married in the mornin'..."
VW, get better soon. Silly high heels. Next time make CBD wear the heels.
ION, MM, hold the flaming cow. I have insurance cert & rental check! Woot! Of course the dude is heading to lunch now, so I gotta wait another hour. But. We have progress.
The UW women's teams are, unfortunately, the Husky Women.
Probably better than Husky Bitches.
I'll start fueling the cow now, just in case.
I feel sorry for the cows. Could you use Cheney and his ilk of neocons instead? THX!
Flaming Cheyneys... sounds like a drink instead of a cow...
YAY For GC Nuptuals!!
Now I can get married tomorrow (!!!) feeling pretty.
WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use "lady" all the time. In a jokey, reclamation way I guess. For example, I like to call our restroom at work (we have one & I'm the only woman here) the "Ladies Room." And I like to talk about my delicate ladyparts. Mostly in a pain caused by bike riding context.
And I hate the "Lady Whozzit" teams for reasons everyone has stated. That was one of the great things about going to an all-girl's high school. All the teams were Raiders. whatever that means.
I can't imagine a man calling me "Little lady" with a straight face but if they did there'd be balls a'hurtin.
Hell, any team would have a bump in their super-awesome quotient with a name like the Mighty Fightin' Whatnots.
I keep reading this as Mighty Fighty Whatnots, which I like even better.
