Any thoughts on the gender vs education posts? Comments? Criticism? Questions? Have you also experienced gender discrimination? If so, what did you do about it? Or are you still fighting it? Are are you just sad about the findings of the series? Yup, me too.

Ever think about gender vs education in the work place? I never did either. Until I saw its effects first hand. The conclusion is that it sucks. And that it is still a problem. Here are some of the old posts on here about that:

Well? Answer the question - How Much Do You Know About Wool? Okay, I admit it - I do not know a whole heck of a lot about wool myself. I know that it can be itchy and incredibly warm. And I know that if it gets wet that it shrinks. And I only know this last tidbit after hearing a story about a guy wearing a wool suit that ended up in the rain and then his pants shrunk up to look like capri pants. Heh. Funny story, eh? Well, if you want to get your hands and eyes on some cool wool clothing you can! Just look no further than the clothes from Ramblers Way. They even have pictures of sheep on the website! You can even meet the sheep on the site. If the people in the pics on the site are the workers or owners then that would make me feel good about buying from them. I looked at their clothes and they are really nice and not what I was expecting from wool clothes! I mean, I was expecting all granny style clothes! These are some nice threads! Go have a look and see for yourself!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.
You know, when I travel I like to stay in the same hotel chain every place that I visit. In the past, I have done the thing of going for the cheapest decent hotel that I can find in the place that I am visiting. Well, I learned from that and now I am all about staying at the Hilton chain of hotels. In fact, if you have been planning a cool Christmas holiday vacation to Branson, Missouri then there are a couple of great Hilton hotels in Branson! The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing is my fave of the two Hiltons in Branson. It is in the popular Branson Landing area. I would like to check out the cool shops and restaurants in that area as I have never been to Branson myself. If you are checking out something else in the Branson area, like near the convention center, then you should have a look at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. It is located near the convention center in case you need to check out something going on there. There are also some cool packages that the Branson Hilton hotels just for the holiday season. So check it out today.

Interested in the entertainment industry? Want to know what is going on in regards to women? Me too! I actually found a Facebook group titled “Women & Hollywood” about this sort of thing. It’s news and commentary about women and Hollywood. I suggest doing a search for it if you get a chance. And be a fan of it like me.

A lot is being said about Adam Lambert’s AMA performance. He is getting a lot of crap for it. He says there is a double standard. That women have been doing performances like that for years. And you know what? I agree with him. Why is it okay to have women perform in the manner that he did? It should be okay for all.

Well, it’s that time of year. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. And that means one thing to me. The Macy’s Turkey Day parade! I love watching it each year. I recently found the Macy’s parade lineup online too. I’m kinda shocked that Katharine McPhee is in it this year. I wonder why? I am pretty stoked about Cyndi Lauper though! sweet! And Gloria Gaynor! Woo hoo for disco in the parade!

Booked a room at a Radisson hotel for tonight. My special requests were a non-smoking room and foam pillows. Drove through a torrential downpour to get to the hotel. Only kept driving cause I had pre-paid for the room. Upon arrival I was told that they only had smoking rooms available. Major FAIL for Radisson. And of course they do not have a money back guarantee. NO MORE RADISSON HOTELS! EVER!
