Are you a big Bath & Body Works fan like me? I love their stuff but I hate their prices. That is why I wait around for sales. And right now is one of those killer sales. All of the signature collection items are $5 through Sunday. And they have a ton of gift baskets that are 50% off. And they even have some items that are 75% off. Most of these are the discontinued lines. Looks like Chocolate Amber is on the discontinued list. So was Tropical Passion Fruit. Be sure to stop by your store if you like to buy their stuff on sale. They even had a bunch of wallflowers on sale at my local store!

C’mon now, say it with me.
Riiiiiiiiigggghhhhttt!!!!
Apparently, some delusional preacher in the South, Denton, Texas specifically, decided to speak and someone was listening. Pity that.
So, what did this “genius” have to say? Oh, not a lot really. Just that
“One reason that men abuse their wives is because women rebel against their husband’s God-given authority”
And that’s why I can never move to Texas. Even though Houston seems to be a lovely city by all accounts.

I was talking the other day with my other half about a work situation. You see, she had just gotten moved to a new desk and was unsure if she would be able to get away with being a slacker like she did at her previous desk. Her previous cubicle mate was a guy that did not care.
So, I told her that if her new cube mate was a woman that she would probably get told on in no time flat. She agreed with me. That made me think - why is is that women seem to be the office tattle tails? In my work experience, this seems to be the case. How sad.

I am not a fan of Sarah Jessica Parker. I do not find her particularly attractive. In no way do I find her the unsexiest woman though. And who is Maxim magazine to make this sort of declaration? Nevermind the fact that it is just mean!
I would like to see photos of all the schmucks that work there first. I suspect that they are not entirely sexy themselves.

I used to like Bill Maher. Note that I say that in the past tense. You see, I was perusing the Feministing site today. And I came across a recent piece on Bill Maher and his sexist comments. You can find the complete story here. But be forewarned that it will leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I do not understand the appeal of romance novels. Really, I don’t. I mean, they set up this false sense of relationships for women. And then women get this idea in their head of what it will be like. So then what happens when they realize that real life is not like romance novels? A heck of a lot of disappointment, I suspect. Of course, I have only ever read one romance novel. But one is more than enough.

How is it that men come to think they can discriminate against women?
How are these men raised that makes them think that women are less than men?
I really want to know this. See, one of my brothers thinks that men are better than women. And it was not that way in my home growing up. So I have to wonder where it came from. It is very puzzling.

Just another reminder that women should be more aware when traveling alone. A woman is suing American Airlines for not keeping her safe. Apparently she got onto a plane in Dallas and went to sleep. She woke up shortly before landing in Los Angeles. She discovered a strange guy sitting beside her pleasuring himself. In her hair.
American Airlines has apologized. And that is all. I hope this woman owns them after this incident. There is no way they could not have known what was going on. And if that is their story, then how are we to believe that they can detect where “terrorists” are on board?

Apparently, the answer might be a big “no.” And worse, the local police do not care.
Gadling has a story that pretty much illustrates this. To make a long story short, a 15 year old British girl died in India. It was ruled a drowning by the local police. That was pretty far from the truth. The truth is that she was drugged, raped and left to die. Click on the link above if you want to feel disgusted a bit more by humanity.
