For any of you who aren't familiar with the Vermont Country Store, it's a catalog company that sells homespun, practical items, specializing in old-fashioned, hard to get products.![]() They sell stuff like that dime store Evening in Paris perfume your mother used to wear, Cameo soap, those cute little felt-clad, plastic faced, Christmas elves that were so popular in the 60s, and like this: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, as I'm eating my lunch and perusing the catalog that just came in the mail, I nearly choked on my left overs when I turned to THE PAGE at the back of the catalog with these items! The catalog page also features a picture of the friendly face of the proprietor, Lyman Orton with this statement: "I initially offered these Intimate Solution products because I had the merchant's sense that many of you would rather buy them from us than run down to Sex World or visit some uncomfortable website. . . But--and here's the key--it's not about sex. It's about Aging well, about fully embracing all that life offers as we age." Hmmmm, marketing genius or disaster?

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

They're actually really great, but - sigh - it seems they don't have them anymore. I guess the - um - marital aids took over their page. I put some in at my office. They're plastic sheet deals with some foam sealed in. You staple them to the stair. When ice forms of them, you just stomp and it crumbles and falls off. You know, sonny, at my age, you don't want to fall and break a hip. |

Why are many of those personal massagers quiet and discrete? Do women like install them and go to meetings at work or something? And "pinpoint accuracy"? Do tell, what is that all about? Don't they just, like, uhm, go in? |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |
