Things that made you smile today.

I was in fact having a discussion with on my professors, who specialized in the history of women's studies, about how the term "gender" has almost become a coded word that means "women." If you talk about a Gender Rights movement, or Gender Equality, people automatically read that as Women's Rights, etc. It's seen as a more neutral term to use, but it gets used in only a single context too often. So I did find that much intellectually stimulating.

And ya know, I can say with a clear conscience that I usually am that guy who's willing to say, "Whoa, that's a nasty thing to say," or "That's a pretty negative attitude." So I get the guy's point, it's important to interject that into conversations so people don't just accept really bad outlooks on subjects like violence, or race, or sexual identity.

I'd say more, but it would probably generate a discussion and this isn't the place for that.
 
Yesterday I got a text from my 21 yr son who has been in Georgia at ft benning for boot camp and I haven't seen him since January ask me to bring oreos when I go out there next week for his graduation because hes dying for them. :)

Just for the record, we DO have Oreos here. It's not like we're uncivilized or something. :rolleyes: ;)

hehehe.

Her son more than likely hasn't been able to get any since he's in boot camp. Mom to the rescue. :)

And Thyri? That whole uncivilized thing? *leans close to whisper* I've heard stories. *nodnod* Scary stories. *grins and scampers off*
 
You can roll your eyes if you like.. never said you didn't have them .. HE'S IN BOOT CAMP AND HASNT HAD A FREAKING OREO THE WHOLE TIME! !!! I'm sure what ever makes you smile probably make me say something as stupid as you had to say but I wouldn't be immature to ruin your moment by saying it. Id keep it to myself that's the difference between you an I.

I think you have mistaken her intention. I cannot speak for her thoughts obviously but I know thyri well and she is not the type to make spiteful observations without a reason. I sincerely doubt that her words were anything more than a bit of good natured fun.

Wmms?:

A fantastic post from one of my co-writers.

Zing!

I'm of the mindset that everything is better when it comes from mom. Okay most things! I still won't discuss 50 shades of grey with my mother.

And kudos to your kiddo. I've got two brothers in the service. One army, one navy. They love and need care packages from home, that makes everything better!


And then there is this...

It's just going round and round and round in my head!

And every time...? More giggles! :D

Why do they even think they stand a chance with us? laughs
Fuck my cheeks hurt from giggling.

Oh British ManCandy! What ARE we going to do with you?
