For the last few months the TV has been flooded with ads for replacement windows, Renewal by Anderson, in particular.
It sounds like a first class operation, it also sounds expensive, but hey you get what you pay for... or less.

Yesterday I got a hand addressed envelope the size and shape of a Valentines Day card. Silly bunny.
Inside was a letter and business card from the General Manager of Renewals by Anderson for the Philadelphia area.
Her name is Kristin Gardner. Imagine that, a woman running that whole operation.

The question that comes to mind, is she serious, or just wants to use me for a sex toy and discard me? :confused:







Kirstin, if you find this in a vanity search, it's a joke. :blush:

If she sees this, she may want to remodel the windows to your soul.

A wonderful interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Very interesting.

Excellent, Dana!
We have met the enemy, and they are us.

It's often the way. I know I found that out when I was a councillor. There's nothing like working with 'the enemy' on a shared goal and responsibility to make you question your certitude.

Local politics (probably national as well come to that) is funny in that way. On the one hand you have the elections and the council meetings that tend to be very party focused, while on the other hand, you find yourself on various committees where the accepted norm is you try to leave the party politics at the door as you walk in - because now it's about the nuts and bolts of providing various services and achieving various small goals - and then meta-narratives aren't really very helpful. At that point, you're really just a group of people grappling with a practical issue.

The glass ceiling..

According to the first chart, in 2014, 95% of US residents did not agree with the statement that men should have more rights to a job when times are tough. Up from 80% fifteen years earlier. I think that's pretty good.

And things are consistently improving everywhere except India.

Too bad the data ends in 2014. In the US, things were improving dramatically, but with the election of Trump, I bet they have slipped and gotten worse again.

The Cosmo Girl in 1967...

"The Gender Equality Checkpoint"

Hmmm, what would the phonetic equivalent to Checkpoint Charlie be for this thread ... Checkpoint G-String?

Mary Bara, General Motors CEO and Chair(wo)man of the board, took a pay cut in 2017 with a total compensation of only $21.96 million. She got $22.58 million the year before. Gotta keep them bitches in line you know. ;)

Congratulations women, you've finally made it!

They were helping the war effort but also angling for the vote... it worked. :thumb2:

Look at that hoe!

An interesting read, the year of the woman.

Well, the POTUS has followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and issued the annual proclamation:

Congratulations American women, the double-edged sword awaits you for another year.

The Don lied again. It is habitual.

Takes one to know one.

How do you know?

The same way I know you are but what am I.

When you talk to the mirror, does it also talk back?

The mirrors talk only to you. What appears to be reflections are redundancies in your posts.

You've come a long way baby... er Ms. ;)

It's about time that the experts in gossip were suitably employed for information gathering in the interest of national security. Probably not so good for the Bond types though.

Now there's probably an assassin waiting for me if I go outside the country. I can only hope that she does me before doing me in.

That makes sense, they were always better at gathering gossip. :bolt:

However despite progress in management, since Roe vs Wade individual states have prosecuted women for...

FETAL ASSAULT
DEPRAVED HEART MURDER
DELIVERY OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
CHEMICAL ENDANGERMENT OF A FETUS
MANSLAUGHTER
SECOND-DEGREE MURDER
FETICIDE
CHILD ABUSE
RECKLESS INJURY TO A CHILD
CONCEALING A BIRTH
CONCEALING A DEATH
ABUSE OF A CORPSE
NEGLECT OF A MINOR
ATTEMPTED PROCUREMENT OF A MISCARRIAGE
RECKLESS HOMICIDE

so you've got a long way to go, baby. :(

This lovely lady was ahead of her time.
Her husband bought her a car and she put 6,000 miles on it the first year.
That was a lot of work in 1907/8 when the roads in NJ and vicinity were crude at best.
That was not the car she drove cross country.

Not just another pretty face...

The Marines need a few good women...
Part of the training, you have to carry a fellow Marine sometimes.

Now do it with a 75-100+ lb ruck sack on ya back...Not this country boy.

She does it with every hair still in place.

That's a pretty steep ramp too.

In Finland they taken over...

4 commies & a vegetarian

Ferrari is courting favor of the ladies.
I guess they are asking their sugar daddies for BMWs and Mercs instead of Ferraris.

One of 4 or 5 ladies...

Was she the first pilot to successfully ever land a Warthog without any hydraulics?

No, that was Colonel Kim Nichole Reed-Campbell.

Up your bottom

line guys

1940, the world was headed straight to hell and educators, as a reflection of society, didn't want girls wearing pants.
But that was 80 years ago. So what?
Only 80 years ago, and until they were needed in the war production wearing pants was frowned upon.

Didja huh Didja?

However during The War To End All Wars, WW I, it was brutal...

Agree!

I had always wondered why this wasn't permitted until fairly recently. The USSR had female pilots in WWII that scared the crap out of the Germans.

The night flyers, they were fearless, developed their own method, they stuck to the plan, and every sortie was as good as it could be after things out of their control was factored in.

Russia had some hot women fighter pilots too. To become an ace in the shit they flew took skill.

No offence...

These stories are so common, not just ambitions and dreams squashed but reward withheld from those who fought repression and exceeded in making the world a better place.

The Dakota, Lakota, and Yankton tribes of the Sioux Nation living on the great plains of the western US
felt killing women was very dangerous therefore a brave deed.

The only female lighthouse keeper in the USA.
Likely the last as the switch to automation.

I'd see this picture before but it was quite awhile ago and don't remember if it got posted here.

Stirring up shit in 1915...

My my, they've been getting uppity for a long time.

I look at this picture and think hey great, good for them.
But when I think about it I think, WTF, why not from the very beginning?

Hard working ladies keep the war hot for the boys...
