Ah, my co-workers. A guy is complaining about girls taking all the guy names. "The only names they haven't grabbed are Fred, George, and Clint!"

Many examples of girls/women using Fred and George are presented. Examples of Clint are looked for.

One particularly extreme example of the dudebro says, "You know, if I meet a chick named Clint, I am going to avoid her."

They're young, and to a degree they know they're ridiculous. I am not the only woman in the room, and they get their leashes yanked regularly. Puppy training is rarely easy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Take it from a Fred -- not that many guys are using it these days, either.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am feeling the need to maybe just do a CE FILM FEST.

Right? I am missing out on a lot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

One particularly extreme example of the dudebro says, "You know, if I meet a chick named Clint, I am going to avoid her."

She will probably appreciate that!

I had a distant female cousin named Clyde.

There sure are a lot of CE movies I need to watch.

I should be doing a lot of things but I'm mostly napping. I did do some gardening and badly-needed laundry this morning so the day's not an entire waste. (I took a mental health day.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I keep hoping one of these days I'll become an "adult" and wake up early naturally.

I've decided to just tell people the reason I don't sing in the church choir is because 9am is too early for me on a Sunday, because it is! Yes it is later than I got to work, but not by much, and what I really want to do is NOT GET UP AND GO ANYWHERE sometimes!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got an all-time classic email. Luckily, I am just among the ccs.... Someone emailed a group asking for participants in a thing. The email was a total of 8 sentences including these:

We will meet Saturday afternoons May 29th and May 6th for an hour each. We will meet two more times to be figured out what works best for the group.

One of the other recipients just wrote back:

I am interested but need to know what kind of time commitment this will involve.

I am only laughing because I'm not the one who has to respond!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I had an Aunt Jim and Uncle Leslie as a married couple of relatives. That made people assume you'd gotten confused while mentioning them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Me: I'm just giving you a hard time.

Male person: I want to give you one too.

Me: laughing. Of course you do. No.

I mean really.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The couple in this morning's episode of Hoarders (don't judge me!) were named Chip and Dale. It slipped past me the first couple of times, until the narrator said them both together.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I feel that I should mention that I have not actually bothered with *every* CEvans movie! I am sure there is worse waiting for me in the wings.

Hoarders would hit to close to home for me to ever watch it. Literally.
