[wordsnquotes]

She wasn’t afraid of difficulties; what frightened her was being forced to choose one particular path. Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live and she was always thinking that, in future, she might regret the choices she made now. ‘I’m afraid of committing myself,’ she thought to herself. She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none.

What’s the word for when you go to take a pic, but the front-facing cam is on, and you’re forced to confront yourself as you really are?

The grip of the NRA on Congress is extremely strong. I don’t foresee any legislative action being taken in this Congress and I don’t foresee any real action being taken until the American public feels a sufficient sense of urgency and they say to themselves, ‘This is not normal, this is something that we can change, and we’re going to change it.’

One of these people is regarded as one of the most attractive in the world and the other as one of the least, but for one brief, shining moment, they looked exactly alike.

John Boehner’s (and the GOP’s) reaction to calls for child care subsidies, paid sick leave, equal pay for men and women, and raising the federal minimum wage. Seriously.

Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

So, ladies, you say you want a raise? How should you go about getting it?

First, you have to figure out how to compete with the guy in the next cubicle. After all, he went to a school almost as good as yours. His grades were nearly as good as yours, too. He works hard. In fact, most mornings, he’s the second person in the office. You know this, because you’re always first. He is young, ruggedly good looking, and he washes his balls with a manly but fresh sandalwood soap.

What to do?

Fortunately, the good folks at Women’s Day and Summer’s Eve have a few words of advice for you.

(No, this is not from the Onion. It is really from a full page ad in Women’s Day)

What is the very first thing you should consider if you want a raise? What is the most important thing of all?

Yup, wash that vagina, and wash it good. Remember the sandalwood-scented balls. You don’t want any, ahem, untoward odors to interfere with your chances, do you? What’s that you say? You don’t have an odor problem? You’re clean, you bathe regularly, and you don’t really need advice to use a product that “cleanses away odor-causing bacteria from the external vaginal area?” What are you, a barbarian? This is a raise you’re talking about.

That was #1 on the “how to get a raise” list. What was last, least important? Well, after the “wash your vagina” advice, it must be something truly inconsequential, perhaps related to toenail hygeine with closed-toe shoes, right? Let’s see…#8

Focus on the things you’ve done to improve the bottom line.  Today it’s about your worth to the company.

Accomplishments? Who cares? You’re a woman. Nobody wants to know about your accomplishments. No, what really matters is a great fresh cut flower smell from you-know-where.

Oh, and don’t forget the penultimate piece of advice:

#7 - Don’t let the conversation stray or get personal.

Yeah, don’t let it get personal. Let the boss sniff your panties, just don’t let it get personal.

If you think this is one of the most outrageous and insulting advertisements you’ve ever seen, feel free to tell the people at Woman’s Day. You can also call them at [phone].

And don’t forget the Summer’s Eve people. Their toll-free number is 866-787-6383, and the website is HERE.
