The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

In light of my #MillennialFlirting tweets on Twitter last night, I got mentioned on a pair of websites and thought I'd share that. Here they are: http://theberry.com/2016/06/08/millennial-flirting-is-both-the-most-hilarious-and-deeply-depressing-hashtag-of-our-generation/ http://americanupbeat.com/millennials-flirting-an-art-form/

I, for one, am sick and tired of the victims receiving the brunt of the blame. Jhana - "an online resource with articles and tools for managers used by employees at Google, Groupon, Eventbrite, Modcloth, and Ask.com" - recently published an article entitled, "What if a male colleague gets the wrong idea?" Yes, I'm sure you read that correctly and got the right idea upon reading it. The article dealt with how women should deal with and how they can prevent unwanted sexual advances while at work. Fortunately, the article has been taken down, but here was some of the advice it laid out for women and how they can prevent such unwanted advances in the workplace: "- If you act the same way - always professional, but also always like yourself - around everyone, the problematic colleague will be less likely to get the idea that you're coming on to him. One caveat: If you're touchy-feely or flirtatious by nature, you might want to dial it back around h...

So, I heard an interesting story from a good friend of mine last night. She's had rough run of it lately when it comes to her living situation. She had been living with her husband, but filed for divorce and was forced to leave the house. She then moved in with a married couple and things were awkward from the start. She almost immediately began to look elsewhere, but due to money constraints at the time, her options were limited. Before I knew it, she moved out-of-state to be with her boyfriend. That didn't last too terribly long and she moved back in with her father and siblings. Her brother's wife was about to fly back from China and there wouldn't be room for my friend when she did that, so she was told to leave by such and such date. Lucky for her, a friend and his wife welcomed her almost right away. She's been living there for three weeks and just learned yesterday that the wife wants her to leave and she has until next Monday to do so. Fortunately, she alrea...

So, I got into an interesting discussion with the lady I've been getting closer to the past couple weeks or so. We've been asking random questions to one another to garner a better sense of who the other person is, what they're about, what they believe and perhaps gaining a better cognizance of what a long-term relationship would be like with the other. So, I asked what she felt constituted cheating. She wasn't too specific, but said she wasn't very jealous and would be alright if the guy danced with a girl, but that kissing would be pushing things a bit. She also agreed with me that lying is a form of cheating, because it's cheating the other person of truth. So, today we talked for a while and I'm not sure how to figure her out with regard to her drinking habits. She doesn't seem to drink very often, but seemed reluctant on going out to drink with me some night, because and I quote, she gets "crazy" when she drinks. The word "crazy...
