Usually when a man makes that comment with that level of venom, it is a sure sign that the woman in question is successful. Amen to that. Successful men are "powerful" and "leaders" - successful women are "bitches" and "shrews". Actually, I'm a very successful woman Hello and no one, to my knowledge, has ever called me a bitch or a shrew. that's because nobody resents anyone for doing well..(maybe a few froggy exceptions) Are you sure about that, Barry? Or is it that nobody resents anyone for doing well as long as they 1) share the proceeds and/or 2) stroke the egos of the ones who do not do so well. I get it. For me to be a successful woman whom men don't hate, I must be stroking their egos or somehow reimbursing their "kindness?" Bzzzzzzt. I'm actually known to be quite outspoken and even adversarial at times, when warranted. I LOVE to play devil's advocate at meetings and get everyone thinking. I'm told most people admire me for these qualities. Know why? Because I don;t have a huge "validate me" chip on my shoulder like so many women over 40. but it is beyond the people i deal with in person What kind of people would these be, son? I would love to hear all about this caliber of people who never resent the success of anyone even though it is very likely there are among them both average people, exceptional people and the dregs of the dregs, ignorant, stupid, mean-spirited AND niggardly. You know, the kind of people for whom you might do some construction work who then refuse to even pay you a token sum? Your world must be very negative. as to why anyone would have contempt for anyone where there is no cause. it's not even a gender issue. Oh, yes, there is always a cause, it is just that sometimes the cause is just and sometimes it is not. In the case of Hillary Clinton, there are a lot of men who resent the fact that she breaks the male-dominant tradition of the powerful and successful politician. That I can agree with. And this does happen in society... but not to the degree so many women claim it does. I know a lot of women who use this kind of illustration merely as an excuse for their lack of success. Yes, indeed, there is always a cause. There are so many little icky people who are unhappy about their own shortcomings, all the opportunities they have missed. Sometimes it is a gender issue, sometimes it is not. But the problem comes in those who claim it is when it isn't. For example, there are men who are abject failures who really do get frustrated and embittered toward other men ... and women ... who have spent their lives in, shall we say, more productive ways. There are women who resent men for their independence. there's an old saying that familiarity breeds contempt This really is true, especially when the better you get to know someone the more disgusting you find out they really are. This is sad. I always find that more information and experience helps to shed a better light on most folks. Maybe I'm just too much of an optimist. Hasn't cat ownership had an affect on you guys? ;-) Of course, there are also lots of cases in which the closer you get, the better someone looks. Familiarity does not *always* breed contempt. It's very hard to find ANYthing that always happens... hence. my discomfort with painting broad strokes. When it does, the inspiration for the contempt is often someone who is deceptive, such as a would-be con man who nevertheless does not have what it takes to pull even that sleazy task off. And hell hath no fury like a thwarted bonehead--so, said failed con artist might actually resent the intended target of his failed plan. You sure do talk purdy. Or a lonely old lady who recognizes a shiftless man as "on-the-take" and so leads him on, enticing him to keep her company while dangling the carrot of her "fortune" before his greedy eyes. When she then dies without coughing up the expected windfall, said ne'r-do-well can feel real contempt. There are a million scenarios. Of course there are. |

If I can figure out how to work it into a full minute of material, it may go into my standup routine this summer.

Maybe I'll get that 5 minute spot on "Letterman", yet. Back in '97 my wife and I were in New York and had tickets to Dave's show. So we're standing in line for an hour, waiting to get in, and I suddenly decided to start doing some of my jokes (to the great embarrassment of my wife). I wouldn't say that I "killed" but I was getting laughs. Biff Henderson (stage manager) came out of the studio and listened to me for a couple of minutes and HE laughed a few times. He motions me over to him and says "That was very funny, are you performing somewhere". I'm thinking, wow, am I being "discovered"? "No, just do some occasional "open mic"." Then he tells me, "Well, this is DAVE'S show. If you open your mouth in the studio, I'll have to have security escort you out". ARRGGHH, whata bummer! Talk about fragile egos.... |

No need - you've posted some *excellent* trolls here lately (though I've only been "skimming"). BTW, I polished up my "Power of Prayer" rant from RPCA and took it to the stage a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, saw that thread, replied to it... like I said then, since the results were that the power of prayer didn't work it must not have been backed by right-wing conservatives!! ; I don't think running them past me would do much good - I'm pretty atypical of that group, I like to laugh at *everything*, myself included.

I thought you worked for yourself, you do don't you you're are freelance I do both - I work from home so I can do both easily. I've been learning alot in Flash 8, been doing Dreamweaver for a while now Flash 8 as you know, makes use of a timeline, it's not much different than the concept I use in the music studio... just a sequence of events... but I don't find Flash very intuitive, not like my recording software. (I can't readily find the buttons, lot's of F1's) Flash is *hard* to program (to actually put code behind the things on a timeline - as you said not at all intuitive. I have used it in the past, but I try to talk clients out of using it because 1) they will pay a lot more for development since Flash takes so much longer to program, 2) lots of users are aggravated by Flash, especially if they don't have the latest version and are prompted to download it before they can view a page (in which case most users will just hit their back arrow to go back to their google search and find a site that's not as aggravating), and 3) lots of users are (sensibly) afraid of security issues when they go to a Flash page. You can do similar things with JavaScript without encountering all the negative factors in Flash. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

You can do similar things with JavaScript without encountering all the negative factors in Flash. true! it's not enough bang for the average consumers bux then by the time you finish, it won't enough juice for the squeeze Flash and Authorware are really great for large corporations with specific site needs. I definetely think flash has it's place, like when you want to give someone a tour of the New Ford SUV. Then there's quicktime VR - 360deg, interactive panoramas I've got all those tools, but like you said, a client can rack up a bill very quick with this sort of need. I've followed Macromedia's development from their beginning, they lost me at some point with coldfusion and server sides... i'd have to goto college for 6 months... and they will gladly oblige as they offer live online seminars to learn their products. You know Adobe will send you a free DVD (Creative Suite 2) it has all their site creation and graphics products in one spot lots of fantastic sites out of the box. I think "Go Live" beats dreamweaver overall... but.. I think Adobe products are less intuitive than Macromedia...but then again, when you say adobe you are saying macromedia, as they have merged. I wish they would all think like an artist flows. pinching my nose I believe a new technology is in order where php and sql server sides are built into the wysiwyg site editor... this way you can easily build a db driven site that offers a comback cookie LOLOL that's too damn funny... comeback cookie.. I gotcha comeback cookie... well, it's a good day to rob a bank, hope I don't get caught! |

Thanks CN, the neat thing about that site... it's got a live RSS feed from ebay...(real simple syndication) one can insert their live auctions into any html page, however.. it does require a 3rd party to parse the RSS feed from da-bay and if you have alot of auctions it can take a second for the page to load. |
