  1. There's a reason I love Dillard's. Reminds me a lot of Marshall Field's.
  2. Look closely at the picture on the website. There is a seam.
  3. I'm 6'4" and used to get seamless-neck turtlenecks at Eddie Bauer. Like so many other things, quality and features get sacrificed in the name of economy.
  4. I am not much of a TV watcher, so whatever is playing is typically fine. Even a program I wouldn't watch would serve as an adventure. That said, I was visiting my brother (who is NOT a Fox News watcher) and one of the kids was called by their mom while changing channels. What channel did they land on just as they were summoned? You guessed it - Fox News. I'm talking with my brother who is on the other side of the room and at some point a commentator came on and started talking shit about gays and lesbians. Despite being insulting, the commentator was interesting. After about five minutes my brother realized what was on, switched off the TV, and said "you don't have to watch that shit at my house." When the kids came back in he reminded them that Fox News is not watched in their home.
  5. The only store that came to mind was Eddie Bauer, where one could find a plethora of colors, but they no longer sell them. EDIT: I did not look hard enough. They sell turtlenecks. With seams on the back of the neck. I tried.
  6. Perhaps it is just me, but several of his selfies appear as though he photoshopped himself into a background shot? The perspective is off and the background in the one in front of a window looks like an illustration.
  7. This is probably why the term "sexual assault" was coined. A Google search of "rape vs sexual assault" yielded several results like the following from the Joyful Heart Foundation: "Sexual assault refers to any sexual, physical, verbal, or visual act that forces a person to engage in sexual contact against their will or without their affirmative consent. Rape commonly refers to forced sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal, or oral penetration through physical force, such as being restrained or drugged, or threats to escalate violence. Legal definitions of these terms vary by states and jurisdictions. In the United States, one in three women and one in six men are survivors of sexual violence." So, yes, a man can be raped by a woman or a man and a woman can be raped by a woman or a man.
  8. My employer's anti-harassment training covers male-on-male sexual harassment. It also covers female-on-make and male-on-female harassment.
  9. Remember this: Wrap a flushable wipe around it and you can be squeaky clean! Don't worry - it is dishwasher safe so you can sterilize it before making that pesto sauce for tomorrow's dinner.
  10. Outside of the LGBT center I know two people who transitioned, one of whom was a colleague. She transitioned before she worked at the company, but had a website about her transition. Several people at the company thought it was hilarious and posted about it in Facebook. Her manager found out and reported the behavior to our HR department and the employees were disciplined. The company was extremely supportive. I still work for the company and today the LGBT employee resource group hosted a fireside chat about transgender awareness. It was very well done. The presenter transitioned ten years ago and works in the financial industry. Someone asked about using the term "guys" and whether she found it to be offensive. She stated that she didn't find it offensive but turned the question back to the group and asked us to consider whether slang like "guys" is appropriate in a professional setting. She suggested using "team," "colleagues" or "people." She also related a story where an out gay man used the term "ladies" instead of "guys" when addressing a group at work. The men in the group were not comfortable with being called "ladies" but were equally uncomfortable with saying anything about it. She ended up mentioning it to a manager who handled the situation.
  11. Note to self: avoid the blended foods @friendofsheila brings to the potluck.
  12. Well, I got the sign-up bonus when I bought my Breville Smart Oven Pro, which is another kitchen expenditure that I am VERY happy to have made.
  13. Both of my cats were microchipped as soon as they arrived at the shelter as kittens. As @deej mentioned, they were also neutered so I didn't have to worry about that. All I had to do was get their second set of kitten shots done about three weeks after I adopted them.
  14. Count me in the "I don't see why it matters" column.
  15. I agree with both of you - he is still hotter than hell. A trip to LA might be in my future.
  16. Williams-Sonoma had it for $599 plus double reward points.
  17. That works for some, but not all private photos. It seems that the advertiser can specify whether he wants premium members to see the photos or whether everyone (including premium members) has to ask for a password.
  18. http://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/48c5c38ca14cc9b15ef944e729d67240d984c697.gif Not that sarcasm is a bad thing.
  19. Yes I have. My favorite was the Duncan Butterfly, but I also had an Imperial.
  20. The pointy end with the horizontal bars would smart on the way in and out.
  21. So I broke down and bought the top-of-the-line Vitamix yesterday. When I opened the box here is what was staring at me: Turns out the Vitamix is NOT a sex toy. This accessory is called a "tamper" and it is used to shove food back down toward the blade. However, if you are a Grace and Frankie fan and whipped up a batch of yam lube, you might be able to use this attachment for a purpose other than that for which it was intended.
  22. Aside from his beard having more grey than it did, I don't see any difference in his look.
  23. Mary Cassatt and Georgia O'Keefe are two of my favorite artists. The fact that they are both women does not make their work more or less attractive to me.
