"Men always say that as the defining compliment: the Cool Girl. She's a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means that I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she's hosting the world's biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don't mind, I'm the Cool Girl.
Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they're fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl. For a long time Cool Girl offended me. I used to see these men—friends, coworkers, strangers—giddy over these awful pretender women, and I'd want to sit these men down and calmly say: You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who'd like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them. I'd want to grab the poor guy by his lapels or messenger bag and say: The bitch doesn't really love chilli dogs that much—no one loves chilli dogs that much! And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They're not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they're pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be. Oh, and if you're not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn't want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version—maybe he's a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves Seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he's a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn't ever complain. (How do you know you're not Cool Girl? Because he says things like: 'I like strong women.' If he says that to you, he will at some point fuck someone else. Because 'I like strong women' is code for 'I hate strong women.')
I waited patiently—years—for the pendulum to swing the other way, for men to start reading Jane Austen, learn how to knit, pretend to like cosmos, organize scrapbook parties, and make out with each other while we leer. And then we'd say, yeah, he's a Cool Guy. But it never happened. Instead, women across the nation colluded in our degradation! Pretty soon Cool Girl became the standard girl. Men believed she existed—she wasn't just a dream-girl-one-in-a-million. Every girl was supposed to be this girl, and if you weren't, then there was something wrong with you."
—Amy Elliott Dunne (Gone Girl, 2014)
I used to be Cool Girl.
I didn't mind being the only one making all the effort to see him so we can be together.
I totally understood that he didn't have a source of stable income. I would provide for us when I needed to.
I'd nod in agreement to every word he said. I always viewed things from his perspective so I could understand him and the way he thinks. I laughed at his jokes.
Every time I'd invite him to dinners so he can finally meet my friends, he'd get sick at the last minute. Or he'd still have work to finish. Or something just comes up.
No matter where, no matter when—I'm always there to support his career. But every time I'd ask him to come with me to one of my gigs (shoots or guestings), he'd get sick too, or would just have something else better to do.
When he likes to watch porn, I'd watch porn with him.
He wanted to watch porn while having sex, I said sure. Even if it made me feel a bit less than human as his eyes kept glued to the screen as we did.
He was insinuating a threesome, I told him I'm game for that too (although it never materialized).
Any time he's in the mood to get intimate, I'd get naked that same minute and make sure he is pleased. If I was in the mood and he's not up for it, I get called a nymphomaniac.
As much as I could, I avoided asking his help for anything.
Cool Girls are independent women who can look after themselves.
Through the course of the relationship, I only complained twice, if not thrice. I became an expert in hiding my feelings and tucking my issues under the rug. Cool Girl didn't want to be called Drama Queen, no matter how valid my complaints were.
The first was hard to take seriously (for the both of us) because I was high on shrooms (hallucinogen). The others were towards the end of our time together.
I can brag on and on and on about how cool I was.
I was that girlfriend.
The Cool Girl.
But no matter how much he may have loved and enjoyed being in a relationship with Cool Girl, truth of the matter is, I resented her.
Cool Girl always put a hand over my mouth when I had something crucial to say.
Shush. Complaining isn't a very cool thing to do. It's the opposite. You don't wanna be "uncool" now, do you?
Nobody likes a fussy girl. He's just being a guy. It's all good.
You're being too dramatic. Let it go.
You're overreacting. He probably meant it as a joke.
Suck it up. Just shut up. Now smile, and say everything is fine.
She did this for months.
I remodelled everything that made up who I am—my values, my beliefs, my perspective, my words, my behavior—to perfectly fit Cool Girl, by his definition.
To him everything was fine, but to me who had to portray the character, well, life was miserable, and I didn't know who I was anymore.
All for being the Cool Girl.
His Cool Girl.
If I'm going to be brutally honest, I can't even say it was love that made me conform.
It was lust. Just lust. Purely carnal.
It's insane how I managed to turn my back on who I was to be Cool Girl just so I could get along with a man like him.
More than how crazy this all sounds, it's petrifying if you come to think of it.
I was that enslaved to drugs and lust that I lost myself—to the point of becoming somebody I didn't know, someone I never wanted to become.
Enslavement means dissatisfaction no matter how much you get. And this strong, insatiable hunger—towards any feeling, any person, any pleasure, or anything of this world—is usually what most monsters are made of.
I created my own monster.
And not only that—I embodied it.
Thankfully, before I even got any closer to reaching Amy Elliott Dunne's first level of psycho (I think it's safe to assume she's got a lot), Jesus entered the picture and woke me up from the nightmare I forced myself into.
I could have projected all my negative feelings of anger and resentment towards the man I chose to be in relationship with...but why would I do that?
He was already who he was when I met him. It was subtly laid down from the beginning that I either accept him for what he is, or I don't. (He wouldn't mind either way.)
And so I became the ultimate compromiser—cutting corners and filling out edges—like jamming some sort of puzzle piece to perfectly match his, even if it's quite obvious that the two just don't fit.
I didn't give myself the right to attempted homicide. I didn't want to.
It was clear what I needed to do to end my misery and give myself a chance to start all over again.
Bring Cool Girl to her demise.
After all, she's the one responsible for my wretchedness.
For impulsively saying I love you back when he first said it, just so the night won't end with an awkward situation and a dented ego.
For pretending not to mind when he doesn't appreciate the little things I keep doing for his convenience.
For saying it's fine, I understand when he said he just wasn't ready to introduce me to his parents (after months of being together) yet, after his mom asked him when they could meet me.
For having my mouth kept shut when I should've been expressing in the early stages of the relationship that I honestly think the direction we were both headed to was destruction.
I blame Cool Girl. This is all on her.
I hated how pompous she was. I loathed at how excellent she got at pretending.
I had to get rid of her so I can have room to live. She had to vanish.
I've been told that the best way to kill a monster is to starve it.
By choosing Him and the life I genuinely wanted for myself, I finally put an end to Cool Girl.
I no longer wanted to be her. Or at least, his version of her. She wasn't me. It was exhausting trying to keep up with her ever-expanding web of lies and pretences.
Doing the right thing isn't always easy—sometimes it's even the hardest to bear. But I'd rather endure the consequences that followed Cool Girl's death than suffer my own.
Isn't that the worst thing that could happen to any human being? When you're merely alive, not living?
A year has gone by.
Cool Girl has resurrected.
No longer as his Cool Girl, but His.
I AM Cool Girl. And this time, I can feel how real it is. To the core of my soul. There is nothing fake about her.
I'm His Cool Girl now.
Everything that I am working hard for, every decision I make, is geared towards fulfilling His definition of Cool Girl—God-fearing, honest, joyful, compassionate, genuine, excellent, and loves herself first so she can mirror the same love to others.
I don't have to act it out. I don't have to try so hard to be Cool Girl. All I do is fix my eyes upon Him, the One who turned my world up side down, the One who died so I can have life.
We must never stop looking to Jesus. He is the leader of our faith, and He is the One who makes our faith complete. He suffered death on a cross. But He accepted the shame of the cross as if it were nothing because of the joy He could see waiting for Him. And now He is sitting at the right side of God's throne (Hebrews 12:2).
I will always be grateful to Christ's overwhelming faithfulness. Jesus never fails to show me my worth through His eyes, specially when I need it the most. Being in a relationship with Him, being guided by Him, being loved by Him—these fulfill the deepest desires of my soul that no one can ever take away.
He makes me beautiful. He perfects my soul. He makes me the Cool Girl I've always wanted to be.
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).
I'm sure a lot of other women have gone through what I've been through. Laughing at what he said when in reality you wanted to call him out for it, justifying his behavior in your head so it doesn't sting so bad, convincing yourself that everything's okay when none of it is. You're basically killing your own spirit as you continue undermining your entire worth as a woman.
You don't have to be a watered-down, insecure version of THE Legitimate Cool Girl, all for the sake of some guy you're not even sure you want to be with for the rest of your life.
Do you want to live a lie pretending to be somebody's Cool Girl?
Or do you want to live in His Truth and be transformed to His real definition of Cool Girl?
You can choose. It's never too late to decide.

Friday wasn't a day of celebration for Rob Cox.
Kristin Olsen is making her mark at the State Capitol.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - California regulators approved a nearly $2.4 billion rate hike for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. customers that will see the typical customer's monthly bill increase by $7.50 starting in the fall and then even more in 2015 and again in 2016.
It took more than two months, a week in the San Joaquin County Jail, a $100,000 cash bond and countless trips back-and-forth to Las Vegas.
Bad debt write-offs for non-payment of municipal utilities have inched up slightly after dropping for two straight years.
All that Magdi Zakher wanted was equipment.
As goes Washington, D.C., so goes the nation.
It is being hailed as an economic juggernaut – a $39 million infrastructure upgrade providing vital access to development that will help push the boundaries of what Manteca can become and who it will attract for the next two decades.
The Manteca Tea Party Patriots are hosting a forum on gun rights and "reasonable" gun control tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Chez Shari at the Manteca Golf Course.
The Manteca Fire Department's Tip-A-Firefighter for the benefit of the Give Every Child a Chance free tutoring program is Tuesday, Aug. 19, at the Applebee's restaurant on East Yosemite Avenue.
Manteca is getting a Tesla Supercharger station.
LATHROP – The official-looking Department of Defense signs have been painted over.
Ben Cantu believes Manteca's city government has a legacy of not thinking things through, kowtowing to developers, failing to act to address dire situations such as the drought, has never seen a consultant they didn't like, and has a tendency to study things to death then create a report that they put on a shelf somewhere before ordering yet another study.
The possibility of an interchange on the 120 Bypass at McKinley Avenue is generating anxiety among rural residents of south Manteca.
Did Manteca City Council members reach a decision to not show up at the Aug. 6 meeting in an illegal manner?
Dogs might have the luxury of just using the lawn and having an astute handler willing to pick up after them.
Much has been written about Jeremy Lum and his tragic, untimely demise.
One of the defendants in the lawsuit filed by Jerry Lum and Dorathea Timmons on the death of their son, Jeremy, is Phillip Mendoza, a correctional officer with the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department.
The vehicle that missing 30-year-old security guard Muhammad Rashid was driving when he left his job on Lammers Road in Tracy Saturday night was described as a green 1998, 4-door, Honda Accord with a contrasting black hood, according to a family member.
The frost isn't on the pumpkin yet and the day time highs are still hitting the upper 90s.
Race day registration for the 1 mile and 5K run will begin at 7 a.m. For the 1-mile run will begin at 8 a.m. For the 5K run, it will be 8:30 a.m.
Get ready to rock.
The Manteca Children's Foundation will be conducting their annual Blanket for Kids drive at the Manteca Pumpkin Fair and plan to continue it through the fall.
Five years after the death of their son, Jeremy, Jerry Lum and Dorothea Timmons are now looking forward to having their day in court.
A part-time security guard and a clerk at his family's Chevron station at Union Road and Yosemite Avenue, Muhammad Rashid, 30, never returned home after a Saturday night guard assignment on Lammers Road in Tracy.
LATHROP – Brent Maynor's concerns aren't necessarily limited.
Russ Munson is never one to be late.
The case involving the arrest of Jeremy Lum by three Lathrop Police officers on July 8, 2009 is riddled with inconsistencies on the part of the defendants, according to sworn depositions which have been affirmed by a judge with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento.
The double-crested cormorant is not on any endangered species list.
It is going to cost nearly $150 million for levee upgrades to protect Manteca, Lathrop, Weston Ranch, and parts of rural south Manteca from a 200-year flood.

I cannot see that any of the current field of candidates has any better an answer. After the sorry spectacle of the Dubya era and the sycophantic behavior of Republicans who practically slobbered on his shoes, I trust them not all.
Obama came, he saw, he failed.

Dubya is the turd. Or should I call him Duped-ya.
When we look back someday at the catastrophe that was the Bush administration, we will think of many things: the tragedy of the Iraq war, the shame of Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, the erosion of civil liberties. The damage done to the American economy does not make front-page headlines every day, but the repercussions will be felt beyond the lifetime of anyone reading this page.
I can hear an irritated counterthrust already.....http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/12/bush200712

Your point? Nowhere did I say that Democrats didn't use the threat of filibuster too. Both sides have resorted to political posturing but Democrats don't control Congress to the point that they can put through new legislation unless there is Republican compromise. All your links prove that.
Newt's baggage would be his arrogance, hypocrisy and marital infidelities. God may have forgiven him....... but voters not so much. Heck, his own party doesn't entirely welcome him as a presidential candidate. http://www.freep.com/article/20111211/NEWS07/112110479/Newt-Gingrich-s-leadership-assailed-by-ex-House-colleagues

Bush had a Republican dominated Congress from his inauguration until 2007. They gave him what he wanted, even some of the Democrats. Thank you for making my point that the Republicans have been so anxious to limit Obama's terms that they have REFUSED to do more than obstruct.
The quote from my earlier post was directly from Bush's book. His words. Still nothing from Bush which indicates any aspect of fiscal caution.
Your last comment--based on what? Anything more than blind hate?
|Mon, 12-12-2011 - 3:50am
Your point?
Thought it was pretty clear.
Nowhere did I say that Democrats didn't use the threat of filibuster too.
Aah...so now the back-peddling begins.


text: It sounds like you and your husband are new to the business and you should realize that's what it is- a business with rules, regs, restrictions, etc. The best thing you can do is to get educated and associated with other like-minded people; there is a non-profit group, Upstate Carolina Real Estate Investors Association (Upstate CREIA, or UCREIA) that would be a great place to start. You can go to their website, http://www.upstatecreia.com and see the different meetings and seminars that are being held, including a beginner's seminar on February 1 that I would encourage you to attend. There is also a monthly Professional Focus Group that is tomorrow the 27th you are also welcome to. I will be attending it.

Meson — a new build system
Better Builder
Developers fed up with cryptic Makefiles should take a look at the new Meson build system, which is simple to operate, offers scripting capabilities, integrates external test tools, and supports Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
Finnish developer Jussi Pakkanen was frustrated by existing build systems with foolish syntax in configuration files and unexpected behavior [1]. During the Christmas season of 2012, he therefore decided to develop his own build system that would run fast, be reliable and easy to use, run on all major operating systems, and integrate important test tools like Valgrind.Just two months later, Pakkanen published a first version of his build system, which, as a trained physicist, he named for the Meson particle. Since then, the technology has advanced quickly. Version 0.17.0 – the latest version when this article was written – is already extremely stable despite its low version number and contains all the features planned by the program author.
Meson builds executables and libraries and supports multiple directories for different builds from the same source. The flexible configuration language is easy to learn, opens many possibilities to the developer, and supports
if statements.
Presentable Features
Meson is written entirely in Python 3 and is released under Apache License 2.0. One minor drawback, however, is that, currently, Meson can only handle source code in the programming languages, C, C++, Java, and Vala. Meson does not bundle the source code into the appropriate compiler itself; rather, it simply generates configuration files for an existing build system. Under Linux, Meson generates build files for the relatively unknown but quite nimble Ninja [2] mini-build system. Alternatively, Meson outputs project files for Visual Studio 2010 or Xcode. Meson refers to all of these external tools as back ends.

The amount of incarceration one can face for a probation violation will vary as it is usually based on whatever the statutory maximum sentence was for the offense for which you were on probation for in the first place. For example if you were on probation for a ten year felony than you are facing a sentence of up to ten years on the probation violation. If you do not have a lawyer either request that the court appoint one for you, or retain one to represent you.

I was arrested for my 2nd violation of probation for drinking so no new charges. When I had arraignment there was no bail and I have court again in 9 days. will I prob get out or at least a bail?

My gf came home drunk and initiated a fight. I told her to leave and she continued. I tried to pick her up to put her outside and she fought me knocking us both down. I pulled her hair to try and pick her up. She started to yell so I tried to cover her mouth then she bit me, so I choked her. I got her out of the house and she called the police. They are charging me with felony assault and she doesn't want to press charges cause she feels bad and doesn't hardly remember anything. can she plead the fifth because she doesn't remember what really happened.

I had a 3rd DUI in Oct 2005. My 1st one was in 1997, and the 2nd one was in 2001. All my fines and court fees will be paid off in Aug. of this year. My 10 year revocation will end in Nov of 2015. I am a Persian Gulf War veteran that has been going to group and one-on-one therapy sessions at the Fairbanks Veterans Center. I started going after my 3rd DUI when as part of my court ordered treatment I realized that I have PTSD/ anxiety. What I would like to know is what do I need to get my license back. It took me a while to realize I have a problem. I took steps. I served in the Army from 1988 to 1996. Got out with an Honorable Discharge. I only got into trouble with drinking and driving when I got out of the service. Now I got my act togeather. I would like to know what steps to take.

This was on 3/31 my court date is 4/9 where I'll be appointed a public defender. I wasn't driving, I was drinking and blew a .20, I don't recall any sobriety tests, I wasn't offered a blood test, and I was released on bail that day. Can I fight this?

The mayor's pay: Past time for a raise in Manchester
That is why charter commissioners were right last week to approve a motion to raise the mayor's pay substantially. The current salary is $68,000 a year. Veteran teachers and police officers can make more than that. The commission approved a proposal to set the salary at $107,937, an increase of almost 59 percent.
That is a huge jump, and such a big move would be better made in smaller increments. But the ending place is roughly appropriate. The mayor of the state's largest city need not be paid as much as a hospital CEO, but the pay needs to be enough to land top executive talent from the private sector. A salary in the $100,000 range would do that.
Mayor Ted Gatsas is independently wealthy (by his own hand), so the pay is not an issue for him. It would be for many others. Unlike serving in the Legislature or on a city board, being mayor is a full-time job. If the city wants executives of skill, talent and experience, it should offer a level of compensation that would not necessarily attract them, but that would not be a disincentive to them.
Public service is its own reward, to a point. People who could be making $200,000 a year in the private sector might sacrifice a few years of financial rewards to serve the people of the city. But requiring them to take a 66 percent pay cut makes it much less likely that they will.
Though we are not sold on the charter commission's method for this pay increase, a significant raise is needed, and they are right to propose one.

Chard is a tall, leafy, green vegetable commonly referred to as Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris). Chard has a thick, crunchy stalk to which fan-like, wide, green leaves are attached. The leaves may either be smooth or curly, depending on the variety with lighter-coloured ribs running throughout. The stalk comes in a variety of colours — white, red, yellow and orange. Sometimes, in the market, different coloured varieties will be bunched together and labelled "rainbow chard." Both the leaves and the stalk of chard are edible, although the stems vary in texture, the white ones being the tenderest. Choose chard from a chilled display as this helps ensure it has a crunchier texture and sweeter taste. Look for leaves that are vivid green in colour and that do not display any browning or yellowing. The leaves should not be wilted nor should they have holes. The stalks should look crisp and be unblemished.
To store chard, put it without washing into a plastic bag, and place it in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for several days. If you have large batches of chard, you can blanch the leaves and then freeze them.
Swiss chard is an excellent source of vitamins K, A, C, E, B2 and B6, magnesium, manganese, potassium, iron, dietary fibre, copper, calcium and protein.
Now, for a recipe.
Stir-fried Swiss chard with lentils
Dried brown lentils: 2 cups
Torn Swiss chard: 6 cups
Carrot (chopped): 1 cup
Onion (chopped): 3 cups
Low fat butter: 2 tbsp
Salt: one-and-three-fourth tsp
Black pepper: half tsp
Ground cumin: 1 tsp
Garlic (crushed): 2 cloves
Parsley sprigs: 2
Bay leaf: 2
Fresh lemon juice: 1 tbsp
Method: Combine the lentils, carrots, salt, garlic, parsley and bay leaves in a pot, and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
Melt butter in a skillet; add onion and cumin. Sauté till browned.
Stir the onion into the lentil mixture. Now, add the chard. Simmer for 10 minutes until the chard is tender. Add lemon juice and black pepper and serve hot.

Digby Ioane learned from pub incident

April 5, 2013

Digby Ioane has spoken of his responsibilities as a role model, saying "I'm not a guy who acts like a rock star" as he talked for the first time about the incident in a Melbourne pub that saw him stood down for one game by Queensland Reds.
Ioane was in the Prahran hotel the day after the Reds had defeated Melbourne Rebels in round four of the Super Rugby when one of his four brothers was involved in an altercation with a man over a mobile phone. Ioane stood by his brother and pushed away the man.
The incident, which was investigated by Victorian police, saw the Reds suspend Ioane from the following match against Western Force because of expectations of his behaviour as a senior player, with coach Ewen McKenzie saying at the time "I've spent a lot of time speaking to Digby … about his role and responsibility in the team, and he gets that".
The Wallabies winger said on Thursday that the Reds' decision to stand him down from the Force match on March 16 had issued him a wake-up call.
"You should get punished if you step out of line because if you are one of the senior boys you have to set the example," Ioane told News Limited's Rugby Gold.
"I wanted to play that Force game so bad, but being stood down was the right thing."
"I learnt a lot. You just can't go say hi to a mate in a pub because the thing I got caught up in all happened in five minutes. I came back so hungry against the Bulls [a week later]. I don't want to be in that position again."

News Report, Tania Pulido
In a time of turmoil around the world, the sense of sisterhood is essential to the struggle faced by oppressed people.
When I grew up in Richmond, the idea of sisterhood was almost non-existent – something only shared within certain ethnic groups. Once, a girl come up to me and pulled my hair for no reason. I believe a lot of these behaviors come from our own culture, one heavily influenced by a mainstream media that promotes violence and money, and depicts women as objects.
There were definitely more girl fights than positive gatherings, like the one that was held in the city of Richmond on March 12th, at Lovonya DeJean Middle School. The event, Sisters in Solidarity, was the fourth annual such gathering organized by city officials, community residents and local leaders who are hoping to connect different sectors of the community around the common pursuit of unity and sisterhood.
The purpose was to bring together a dynamic and diverse population of women under one roof to share information, thoughts, knowledge and experiences on the community work we each do in Richmond. Over twenty local organizations participated – such as STAND, Building Blocks for Kids, Urban Tilth and Communities for a Better Environment, just to name a few. The day started with an open blessing by guest speaker Murial Antoine, a Lakota artist.
The flow of the day was very exciting with different activities, performances and presentations. To start off the entertainment, Richmond's own youth-artist Stynna Swagg performed her single "A Girl Like Me," that focuses on the way the media portrays women. The emcee for the event, Richmond city council member Jovanka Beckles, kept the crowd energy high from start to finish.
Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughin welcomed the diverse audience with a humble speech on the significance of sisterhood and leadership. With the mood set, over two hundred men and women – mostly women – began the first of three round table discussions. The conversations ranged from healthy lifestyles, to domestic violence, youth empowerment, urban agriculture and building bridges between black and brown residents.
The variety of people who attended brought a wealth of knowledge to every table. Shirley Bryant, the daughter of a "Rosie the Riveter" – a name sometimes used to describe the women who worked in the factories during WWII – who is new to Richmond, said, "It is very important for people like me who are relatively new to find out information not commonly known."
One of the few men in the room, Antonio Medrano, a member of the Board of Education, commented on the significance of the event by saying "It gives us courage [and] hope, that it is possible to work together, from Asians to Latino's — it can be done"
It was a breath of fresh air to walk in a room full of strong women working on social issues. Women united have won many victories, however we still have a long way to go in regards to gender equality. I hope the event only gets larger by the year, and more youth get involved in the planning process.

I attended this event as well, and I appreciate the writer's eloquent re-cap of the day. Richmond is growing and ever evolving, and I agree that women are largely responsible for the positive changes. We appreciate the efforts of the men who are participating in the forward movement, and invite others to join us. We are the change we wnat to see.
Courtney Cummings says:
The day was amazing! Everyone coming together to have fun and get to know one another in a good way. The youth speaker for this year showed courage and spoke her truth; Isabella Zizi,Northern Cheyenne,Arikara,Creek, Kennedy HS student and Richmond Resident. It can only get better year after year and 2012 there will be a wonderful quilt project completed that was started at the 2011 event. You Go Girls!

Re: What wallet do you use?
Thank you for your suggestions!
So far I really like this Tumi wallet:
and the Johnston & Murphy Hipster wallet that SwitftTone suggested. Question for you sir - I could really use all of the card slots of this wallet, but I've never had a wallet this tall, does it feel too big and/or too thick compare to a slim-ish wallet? I keep my wallet in the front pocket, will I have trouble fitting it there? Thanks!
I've been doing research on this for quite a while now and so far you guys have been the most helpful, thanks! I hadn't even heard of these companies until now.
