Thank you,
moi aussie
Tearful appreciation hugs for First Dog. Again. But somehow even more so than usual. Thank you so much for the recognition. x
Thank you! The upside of getting older is that you are less of a target for this particular brand of crap.
The downside is that you have to watch your daughter/s and other young women in your life go all the same garbage.
The Secret Life of Men.
As described by a man who has recently caught public transport….
Arsehole: “What did you say?” ….. to me when I hadn’t said anything.
Me: “I didn’t say anything”
Arsehole:“My mate here said you called me a count*”
Me: “He must have been mistaken”
Arsehole:“Are you callin’ my mate a liar?”
Me: “No, I don’t recall doing that either”.
Arsehole:“What are you, some some kind of smart count* with a death wish ?”
Me: …… internal dialogue – fast-paced decision process: run, start dancing on these people with the steel cap gym boots I don’t have ………look around to weigh up the odds, run, charge the biggest one, screaming all the way …. run …. grow tits and angle for some simple sexism, negotiate for a lesser flogging….. Nope, run !

Gosh, some men are rotten, aren’t they ?
Fingers crossed to get this one through autom0deration.
