They'll just have one of the folks restocking the shelves on the overnight shift wander over to the register should someone need assistance at an odd hour of the morning.<br /><br />The key to grocery shopping is going when you're on your way home after doing something in the evening, when you'll only encounter one or two other customers in the entire store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-1199369238844360932013-02-19T10:54:03.979-08:002013-02-19T10:54:03.979-08:00Thanks for the mention, Captain.

We have one at the Boston Globe who is incredibly successful - she gets hundreds, even thousands of comments on her advice posts. Yet she's never married and does not appear to have a loving relationship. I'm always surprised that this doesn't seem to occur to most people. <br />Susan Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984275712518966508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-87893389312963124442013-02-19T06:59:20.384-08:002013-02-19T06:59:20.384-08:00There are no true, genuine male models in the main...There are no true, genuine male models in the mainstream.

Those women discover the Manosphere and quietly read the advice that men are giving other men.<br /><br />Until some major news organization actively and consistently covers the Manosphere, this will be a rather subversive effort away from prying eyes.

Only men realize that men have to be taught and trained, that if we don't teach our boys to be men there won't be any.<br /><br />The irony is that as males we often have to feel utterly DESPERATE to ask for advice when we probably need it more than women. Also, instinctually we often see other men as competitors and won't help out unless we're asked.<br /><br />Women don't need as much advice and usually twist whatever advice they do get into evidence that they should do what they were going to do anyway. The advice they often give is destructive ("Feel proud of how fat you are!), but they sure do love "helping" and "being helped".Martelhttp://alphaisassumed.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-45546437447156791902013-02-18T11:31:29.316-08:002013-02-18T11:31:29.316-08:00I write checks because it's a hell of a lot fa...I write checks because it's a hell of a lot faster than all those jokers with their debit/check cards who forgot their pin number, have fat fingers or don't have funds available.
