What women are supposed to want: “

What do you think of these statements?

Women gauge their happiness and judge their success by their relationships. Men’s happiness and success hinge on their accomplishments.

Men tend to be more tuned in to what is happening today and what needs to be done for a secure future. When women began to enter the work force at an equal pace with men, companies noticed that women were not as concerned about preparing for retirement. This stems from the priority men and women place on the past, present, and future.

Yahoo! News – The $10,000 Martini…: “Today, Parker’s ode to the martini adorns hotel napkins: “I love a martini — but two at the most. Three I’m under the table; Four, I’m under the host.”

Parker’s response to the $10,000 martini might be mixed, the manager conceded.

“I think she would like the idea so long as she’d get to drink it,” he said. “I don’t think she’d care about the diamond, but she’d care about the martini.”"

so this is yesterday, minus the single searches… the puppy picture is clearly very popular still…. and female super heroes has been up there for a few months…. the redvblue thing is pretty funny, but i doubt i have the link anymore because lots of links were lost in the move… the goped vs transam, small with lots of horsepower beats big with even more horsepower, and alex’s wired thing, and how congress is screwing with student funding at the behest of our feared leader, then julia linzey who did a nifty project on bounded patriarchy….. then the research topics business, and then successful librarian measurement (i hate to tell you, but most librarian success is social success and measuring that can be done, but it doesn’t tell you anything about success), then someone wants to know about oligonomy, and some more what to know about actor network theory, and someone just doesn’t get technology…..

it is an interesting set of topics.

He was found just a few feet away from the stove. He bled to death and never had a chance to call for help. The King County Medical Examiner has ruled the death accidental.”
