So I should petition to have my name changed to SuperChemicalPerson?

I saw on Fox News on Friday that a Missouri youth, 14 years old and on her first hunt shot what she thought was a deer with a big rack. Turned out it was a young elk.

Whatever happened to knowing what you were shooting at before you shoot! Glad I don't go out in the woods during hunting season.

I don't think so, it is just that some people prefer to be "gender not specified" and I think we do all try to respect that.

It does take a bit of thought since we are very used to using his/her, she/he rather than a name every time someone is referenced. I don't know that anyone has come up with something equivalent for all the newly "defined" gender descriptions.

Have not been hunting of any type since I left Juneau.... my nails are hopeless but clean like everyone else they start to be alright length but darn life happens chipped or snapped off even keeping them short is tough

I actually had an easier time of keeping my fingernails groomed the same length and clean before I retired. We do so much manual stuff here that you almost hear the Mission Impossible theme playing when you sit down with the emery boards and nail cleaners.

As for the young hunter that shot the elk by mistake, like I said, she was 14 and on her first hunt. Don't know why an adult wasn't with her. She saw the animal through brush and as my mom used to say, you can't put an old head on young shoulders.

With the new system, we can change our username every 365 days....I would not change though!



Did I tell you that we are getting Gender inclusive bathrooms in my building at work?

I suppose the urinals will be a thing of the past. I will miss that urinal! (more than I do now...)

Omg, you just made me think of an incident years ago when we lived in an apartment with a shared bathroom in the hall! I went in there one time after there had been extensive partying. Some guy had totally missed the toilet and used the waste can instead!

Had to keep my nails short for my dextrous typing career, then retired to hobby farm and gardening life. The only time I've had long nails in the past 30 years was when I had a gummi bear addiction and they grew in super strong. I could turn a screw with them! (Which is why I don't have long nails anymore.) Like wearing jewelry, they'd be subject to A LOT of misuse and abuse.

I am rather envious of those that have them and the adornments. (Insert smiling green-with-envy emogi here)

 

[superchemicalgirl]

Can't have makeup, jewelry or even long or painted nails at work. I'm a bit of a tomboy anyway, so that's fine with me, most of the time. I might rebel tomorrow and wear earrings just so my holes don't close up. Gotta do it once or twice a year.
