Are you in need of a house cleaning?

Always! But it's not dirty enough, to inspire a move.
Good morning, DMC

I flew once in my life on a 4 passenger plane. It was not enjoyable. It was the day of my dads funeral. I was 17 years old. My uncle flew in and gave us kids rides before he left. I imagine a big plane is a bit more enjoyable.
I think I would love the ocean.

A large plane is the same, it’s just bigger and you go faster and higher

Good morning folks

I didn't post because I'm not a lady (or female by any name)

Discussion: Recent NPR story about a guy who didn't get a job as a school district supervisor because he said "Thank you ladies" after the interview which the women (some have PhDs, as does he) found insulting/demeaning.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the word "lady" being insulting or considered degrading. I would consider it a generic, possibly somewhat formal, term and not demeaning. Can anyone enlighten me?

Many years ago I was walking one direction down the hall at work and a group of women I knew were approaching. I said "good morning ladies" as we passed and got the feeling I had said something wrong. No time to address them each by name, "Hello women" just sounds wrong. So does "Hi guys" since they were all female. "Hello people"? Nah. I am lost! Obviously this has stuck with me since it was probably 40 years ago!

I guess maybe it is just best to not say anything beyond "Hi" or "Thank you", especially now with the advent of "they/them" in addition to the he/him, she/her we old people grew up with.


How many here need to be apprised of that reference?


I did but I didn't say anything, it would be rude to point out an honest error
