Some words about "Office Space," walking away from abusive work environments and suggestions for reforming the legal industry that nobody seems to have bothered with.

This was inspired from reading a recent "Dear Prudence" letter where some Pollyana wife was buddying up to her husband's estranged mother and apparently not respecting his lived experience (which she claimed not to be aware of) that led to the estrangement.

Yes, that's a pic of Faye Dunaway playing Joan Crawford from "Mommie Dearest" cutting her daughter's hair against the daughter's will.  Someone's childhood indeed may have been THAT traumatic. I found this when trying to find a different image from that movie since I had that in an old LiveJournal icon.

This is a topic I've been wanting to cover for ages but I also discuss illegal job ads I've seen in entertainment, the idiots who defend them and exactly what the role of an attorney is (along with what it isn't).

The big New Year's resolution is getting over the Energizer Bunny though it's not really the plan to cut him off as a person.  Go see the TV show "Soap" if you can since I mention one of the storylines, which feels very apt to how this breakup was going.  This is probably my most interesting New Year's ever since this marks the first time I've ever had a New Year's Day date but I'm still not really ready for prime time, if you know what I mean...

Random "New Year, New You" pic I found online.

Know that saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure"?  That's what this episode is about and how social conventions or your definition of conduct in a relationship isn't objective fact or even pure gospel.

This pic is an example of this concept: liking high pulp orange juice would actually be a selling point to me (especially if you like the one from Trader Joe's though that means I might yell at you if you drink it all and don't replace it).  Daniel, on the other hand, disagrees.  

I think Daniel is devoid of taste or perhaps someone the other gay men secretly despise.

Well, which is?  Except for this most recent one, which has been killing me in a lot of respects, every single other breakup I've had was based on anger and followed an easy enough formula.  This breakup was right out of that Bonnie Raitt song "I Can't Make You Love Me" but now feels more like a script from a Woody Allen movie.

This pic is the Energizer Bunny, the nickname I came up with for my most recent ex.  Who knew when I took that pic I'd one day meet a guy who'd get that nickname?  I think he's still living up to it post-breakup.

You think only large women have problems clothes shopping??  Think again!!  Making the standard sizes larger does nothing for the naturally skinny among us.  Going back to pre-pandemic weight has meant more alterations, bottoms I had before fitting again and seeing dresses like this at the store that are all too big for me. 

That pic is of a Calvin Klein dress I saw at Macy's that reminded me of something the lead in a rom com would wear while working in her great career.  I don't have anything like that.  However, even a modern day 0 is too big for me in Calvin Klein; I know since I tried on some dress pants in a 0 that were too big in the waist.  

You don't even want to know what my size is at Old Navy.

Yeah, it's going to be controversial and thought provoking.  Some of you will like this.  

For those who don't, show me the exact long term side effect data in plain English on every single population you insist the vaccine is "safe" for.  Also, if you're a US citizen espousing such ideas, tell me when you're renouncing your US citizenship and moving to China, Cuba or another communist enclave where constitutional rights and medical freedom do not exist.

The pic is random NYC subway decor that leftist morons love to destroy real fast.  Too bad they don't have the same zeal towards getting rid of DeBlasio or any other corrupt officials in NYC.

If you're dating someone, is there?  Where would you put it at and at what point would you say it's time to bail?

The pic is of the "Protect Yo Heart" art I'm referring to.  I even got to meet the creator of the image once and told him the story you'll hear in this podcast.  He appreciated it.  Here's their website: https://protectyoheart.life/

A native US Southerner's take on the topic.  This Niagara piece (which I actually got to keep in the divorce & currently have on the wall) sums things up so nicely. I still want the "Shut Up or I'll Kill You" piece & I might just see about getting it, especially if I get an office sometime.
