We should definitely celebrate Mermaid Hales Parcells - here she is greeting children as she performs at the Virginia Aquarium. She just exudes happiness in all directions.
Celebration of womanhood...

and money. just yesterday, I wanted his blanket. He says, "15 bucks"...I said..."nope". Then he goes, 20 dollars..25 dollars..I go,"that's not how you negotiate!" ....so he drops it down to 17 dollars.

17 bucks, what a bargain! I was out £150 for a track suit and a Hugo Boss T-shirt yesterday. £35 for a flippin t-shirt. Who pays £35 for a T-shirt!!! I do! I don't even get hung on it anymore, i just hand out the momo and skulk away mumbling about being ripped off and how my T-shirts only cost £4 from ASDA (waltmart)

? Jumping through hoops would cost me more than I could afford! A tenner gets civility......for a short while....
and teaching her negotiating skills from a young age is something I've regretted now and again.....
bwahaha civility for a tenner and a bargain at that!
Aye!! Should count my blessings I 'spose.

A wonderful game gallery, a couple of interesting photographs (I made a try at deciphering the body language in the photos from the games of Hou Hifan against Caruana and against Carlsen), and a very interesting thought-provoking point of view on chess itself methinks. Worth a read (only for those interested in the topic, obviuosly).

Ten Days in a Madhouse
About a lady that pretended to be insane in order to make an investigation on the conditions of the mental assylums
A real life case from 1887
She was a journalist

Dear nazi feminists. Stop saying men are all pigs. You wouldn't have been born if it wasn't for them.
