“Time to give women the respect they demand ye? None.” - a guy on my FB friendslist
Most of his statuses are complaining about people and they take advantage of you, many times about women. This guy happens to be on of the two best friends of my ex. He’s expressed a few times that even though it’s over with between my ex and I, that we are still friends. I suppose. He used to be one of the sweetest guys in the world, despite being lead around on a leash by a rather, uh, abrasive woman.
I think this just saddens me because I can see my ex’s sexist comments rubbing off on him and being magnified from bad relationships with women. Is he being manipulated? Maybe, I know I was. But as a free-thinking adult, he should know better.
This particular status was only ‘liked’ by my ex and the other best friend in the triangle; this makes me pretty happy that no one else is encouraging such comments.
But anyways, the question is do I delete or just hide him? I’d hate to just delete him because he did help me out emotionally when I had tough times with my ex (read: most of the time). I’ll give it time I guess :/
Puzzlewood is an ancient woodland site, near Coleford in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. The site, covering 14 acres, shows evidence of open cast iron ore mining dating from the Roman period, and possibly earlier.
In 1848 some workmen, after moving a block of stone in the woods, found a small cavity in the rocks. In this cavity, hidden away, were three earthenware jars containing over 3,000 Roman coins. No-one knows why the coins were hidden away in the cliff face nor by whom.
J. R. R. Tolkien, a frequent visitor to the Forest of Dean, may have visited Puzzlewood, and many believe Puzzlewood was the inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle-earth, such as the Old Forest, Mirkwood, Fangorn or Lothlórien contained within The Lord of the Rings. J.K Rowling is also said to have visited Puzzlewood, and it may have been this that influenced her idea of The Forbidden Forest in the Harry Potter books.

Thank a Union: 36 Ways Unions Have Improved Your Life
Let’s get one thing straight…
Employers and Corporations did not feel generous and decide to give you two days off every week to have a social/personal life. (We now call them weekends). Corporations did not just feel like being nice one day and give their employees paid vacations. CEOs didn’t get together in a board room and say “Let’s give our employees more rights at work” or “Maybe there should be laws to limit our power over an employee”.
Virtually ALL the benefits you have at work, whether you work in the public or private sector, all of the benefits and rights you enjoy everyday are there because unions fought hard and long for them against big business who did everything they could to prevent giving you your rights. Many union leaders and members even lost their lives for things we take for granted today.
The right-wing attack on unions is nothing more than ignorance, lack of education, and propaganda.….
36 Reasons Why You Should Thank a Union
- Weekends
- All Breaks at Work, including your Lunch Breaks
- Paid Vacation

So will conservatives (Republicans!) give up all 36 of these union fought rights? Will they stand by their rhetoric that unions are thugs and refuse to take benefits from these “thugs” or will they hypocritically carry on the diatribe that unions are ruining this country while enjoying their weekends and paid vacations?
