Top Paying Jobs for Women

Laurie Anderson released the song “BEAUTIFUL RED DRESS” (from her album Strange Angels) in 1989. Some of the lyrics included these lines:

well they say women shouldn’t be the president
cause they go crazy from time to time
well push my button baby here I am
yeah look out baby I’m at high tide

I’ve got a beautiful red dress
and you’d look really good standing beside it..

ok! ok! hold it! I just want to say something
you know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents
now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.
so, with that kind of luck,
it’ll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck

How do you make your fast-food restaurant choices?

Do you choose the one that is closest to where you are at the time? The one with a specific menu item? Lowest prices? Fastest service? The one with a specific toy promotion or playland for the kids?

With so many decisions to make when it comes to your fast-food experience, you should be happy that you’re not alone in having frustration in finding the Perfect Fast Food Restaurant in your travels.

Breast Cancer Awareness: Grow Your Pits For …

Post date October 9, 2012

Are you someone who would like to participate in any number of October’s traditional charity functions to raise money to battle breast cancer or otherwise raise awareness, but just don’t feel like – or unable to – going on a two- or three-day walk?

Maybe you’re a bit tired of eating all that Yoplait yogurt and saving up all the pink tops, and you are purposefully avoiding catering to any company that decides to “Go Pink” as a marketing ploy.

So what is there that you can do that’s a little bit off the beaten path, but still gives you an opportunity to show that you are supportive of a very important cause? After all, men have MOVEMBER, so what’s a woman to do?

Bald people are more successful in business than hairy people

Post author By web gangsta
Post date October 8, 2012

As Web Watch has mentioned before, we know a fair number of bald (or balding) folks.

Our friends are usually accepting of their baldness, and tend to embrace it fully. Perhaps its a generational thing, as premature balding is more accepted at younger ages than our parents and grandparents who do as much as they can to get their hair back via hairpieces, wigs, transplants, or wearing silly old-guy hats all the time.

Ever wonder how much month there is to make in the restaurant business?

For the vast majority of small business owners, restaurants are one of the riskiest businesses to try to run; the failure rate is daunting.

But when you hit on a location, concept, menu, or otherwise have a high level of repeat customers who you can rely on for a steady income — then you have something.

What is the best word ever?

What is the best word ever?

Some would say that it comes down to the most commonly-used words like “like”, “dude”, or the ever popular “fck”. Some people – like your English teachers – would hope that the Best Word Ever would be something a bit more egalitarian.

Statistics: Deaths on Star Trek (or, why wear a red shirt when other colors will do?)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date October 5, 2012

What’s the toughest job in the universe?

Being a red shirt-wearing character on the classic TV showSTAR TREK.

Countless stories, articles, and jokes have been written about the high mortality rate of those ill-fated crew members who always seem to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time on planetary excursions.

Web Watch would chalk this up to mis-management by the ship’s captain and his commanding officers, but Captain Kirk would never see things that way. He was on a five-year mission, dammit.
