Espresso? Does that mean "high way" in @#%@%*ese?

I thought it meant 'expensive coffee'?

Sometimes I feel like I spend all day walking through my apartment turning lights off after people who will continue to remain anonymous to this forum.
I don't understand. Does have a uterus make you forget where the light switch is? Is that it?
I live in a female dominated household. Even my six year old complains when I leave the toilet seat up.

Did you ever think that someone is spending there day walking around your apartment turning lights on after people who continue to turn them off

I once had a job where I had to go around a building turing lights off and I came to a conclusion that when one gets a PhD they get completely baffled by the intricasies of a light switch

With true gender equality, the toilet seat should be left up as often as it's down or at least in proportion to the number of males and females in the household. Otherwise someone is being sexist.

Note of personal disclosure: my wife and I used to have hair-splitting discussions about male versus female roles and responsibilities in a modern household. Now we're just resigned to the other one being too pushy and not being willing to handle a fair share of various activities.

Just one example: we used to debate how to split up housework. Should it be by time? By the grunginess of the job? By how much we disliked a job? Should we make a list of jobs and take turns taking one ourselves or assigning the other person? Is it an objective or subjective equality?

Well, egalitarianism hasn't made such deep inroads into ultra-Orthodox Judaism. We're resistant to change and modernization.

So I still need to do everything she tells me.

I see no woman has mentioned to you that you have it wrong.

Daughter is working too many hours.
No time or energy left in evening.
Must cut back.

 

[Wu Wei]

Sick again today..... thought I was fine...but then I ate breakfast..... that was a mistake

 

[Revoltingest]

Always remember to wash off your food before eating...

 

[Wu Wei]

Question.... do you follow your own advice?

 

[Revoltingest]

Question.... do you follow your own advice?

Aye! I always wash me food....usually with clean water...or whisky.

 

[Wu Wei]

So you take your arm out of the toilet and eat.... washed your food...but not your hands....

I donna eat me own hands....just the food, ya hiker eat'n, salmon slap'n, mass'o claws & teeth!

 

[Wu Wei]

well I can't argue with you description ...... but you do put your filthy disgusting hands on your food before you eat it don't you.

and now for something completely different... I just love it when people get all sorts of indignant about things they claim you said.... when in fact you never said any of what they are indignant about.....

Aye, I'm amazed at how people will infer the most outlandish things.
It seems they just tag me with some stereotype, & then attribute to me the worst of what they've heard elsewhere.
I endure this particularly from RF's feminist & leftish types, who oftimes don't even read my posts, & will criticize based upon their own expectations. One fellow admitted not reading my posts for a year, after I challenged a scathing critique. Another gal was convinced that I was trying to drive her insane with mental abuse. Closed minds, hyper-partisanship & paranoia abound, eh?

It was interesting, and it was trying to paint a picture of me that was just wrong since it was based on things I never said or for that matter I never even inferred.

Do you mean "implied" instead of "inferred"?

I never implied and I don't see how it could be inferred either. Basically I never said it or even hinted at it and even based on the evidence presented you cannot come to that conclusion.
