I know the use of Arabic numerals might be concerning to some but have you stopped to consider the total infiltration of the higher maths with Greek letters for variables?
Beta, delta, gamma, theta, Epsilon, Pi, phi, and the like.
I smell conspiracy!
What were the ancient Grwwks up to? Hmmm?

Companies who fight hard to prevent unions obviously have an employee base that desperately need a union to represent them.
Employees who don't push for unionization are obviously being treated well by their employer.

When you plan is to climb onto the erg and row a good routine yet you spend the next period of time straightening up the office and delaying the row.
*sigh*
Means I really need to row but don't wanna.

As we're closing in on the end of November and thus the end of Hurricane Season, I breathe a sigh of relief.
We moved to Chicago but still owned our home in florida. All summer I was anxious that a storm would brew up.
But nothing. Phew!
And we close on the sale next week.
Double phew.

Ok
I'm a woman.
I'm supposed to like wearing panty hose or tights, right?
For one thing, I can't get them one without dislocating something.
And I always fell like I'm being squeezed.
How am I failing at this?

At the salon today refresh my color.
Many years I'd thought of coloring my hair. But didn't for one reason or other. Maybe it'd hurt my hair. Maybe I was being too outlandish. Maybe I shouldn't.
Couple of months ago I took the leap.
And I'm never looking back.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Small town southern girl here now living in Chicago.
So, going to an alumni luncheon at the Museum of Scoence and Industry and wondering how to deal with my parka when I get there.
I discovered that they have Coat Check at the museum.
Sounds so exotic to me. Like out of a 1950s movie.

Caregiving is a commitment.
A commitment of self and love.
It extracts a price.
But it is worth it.
To know that the recipient gets as much comfort as possible.
In the end, the caregiver must heal.
Caregiver, you've done your job.
Heal yourself.
Live your life.
They would want you to.
