Parlument is locked.

For Larger Customers, Eating Out Is Still a Daunting Experience

Restaurants have been slow to recognize, much less meet, the needs of plus-size Americans. But there are signs of a new activism and awareness.

There are not that many noisey women.

It is more satisfying to blame the other.

It is a full time job.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

There is satisfaction in exercising power.

The Fight to Be a Middle-Aged Female News Anchor

There is no fighting sexism on television without fighting age discrimination along with it.

Smart Lights Are the One Smart Home Gadget for Everyone

Expensive smart home gadgets are still niche and of limited use. Smart lights, on the other hand, are useful to just about everyone.

Do it simply.
Leave the smart out of it.
