Money money money

this article, though a little annoying, actually makes an interesting point. it's also a somewhat worrying point.also, Marco Rubio's finances are a bit of a worry - though I guess he's a longshot so it doesn't matter?

hey, this seems like it could be useful. i found the site on goop as a place for fathers to congregate and rehash just as moms do. It's kinda a nice idea.

should i be less cute? on the other hand, it does explain our habitual squeezing.

Does this seem accurate to you?

1. this is so "lean in" in that chapter about setting your own boundaries. I guess it's a little paternalistic - like maybe people can judge how much they should rest themselves - but then again, they're probably just trying to keep up with everyone else. I think it's a good idea.

2. It's a remarkable journey. I kinda wonder if she's getting more press than Jessica Simpson re her business. But Jessica Alba is better looking and she did a career that was a little less well-trod by celebrities.

3. It's tough! I read that article in the paper and I have to say - I admire that vomiting guy's pride. Millennials seem to just give up when the nausea strikes!

4. Can I write an essay about why this list is completely wrong? It would probably start with "what is authentic" and "Given that definition of 'authentic' can we really trust two Vietnamese owners of a filed Chinese restaurant to give us the correct definitions of authentic Chinese food?" I will say that probably no Chinese restaurant should serve Crab Rangoon but maybe the restaurant saw someone else doing it and thought it would be popular. I doubt Chinese restaurant owners would stick to authenticity when there's money to be made. I think most Chinese places I've been to hit at least a few of these "red flags." (A Chinese restaurant without a dragon motif is just a Chinese restaurant that didn't have an interior decorating budget. Or is waiting for the shipment of gold dragons to come in from China).

5. It's very interesting and I think the point is correct that some people want publicity for this case and those are the people who we should be more skeptical of. The Jonathan Perkins idea. But the whole thing is so confusing now. Yeah, the facts don't add up but isn't there some rape mantra like "rape victims' stories often don't make any sense" or rape victims often don't act in sensible ways after a rape." There was some of that in mattress girl's story. The whole rape lore is being expanded probably to cover for these stories. "Sometimes rape victims make up other rape stories that aren't true but they are just repressing the real rape story."

I dunno. I think there are plenty of bunny and bear pictures in contention for the coveted prize of being our logo!

1. They were delicious!

2. I guess there was a follow-up in Slate that suggested that the husband as employer was the real place of contention. It's confusing though because yes, you could look at it that way and if you look at it that way, then it might be demeaning. So the answer is - she shouldn't get the bonus because it's demeaning. But if you don't think it's demeaning, then she would get the money. So does this mean that it's ok to be demeaning so long as she's better off in the long-term? Is there a solution where she could get the money and it's not demeaning?

3.True. But a lot of restaurants will have to work with the odds and ends if all the other restaurants are serving the prime cuts.

4. =D

5. principles? or resignation?

1. Yeah, but we don't really infantilize Asians.
