@mackymoo This reminds me of a thing a few women and I did in grad school . I went to a grad school where casting (bronze, iron, aluminum) was a big deal, and some of us had no experience and wanted to learn it, but the environment was so unbelievably testosterone driven that it was very hard to get in there and figure out how. A few of the woman had some experience, so we got together and had a womens pouring crew, so we could learn safety and what our weight limits were, and how to do a decent job at pouring. Sadly, we really needed it, because the guys in the department were such assholes and if we had poured the way they told us to, we would have hurt ourselves (This was the nineties). Once we got comfortable, we integrated back again, but it was invaluable.

@wharrgarbl Aargh I want to put my website here but it's under my real name and then I'll feel weird about posting revealing things about my sex life on the 'Pin. Rats!

On How I Got Rich Working at the Mall (Just Kidding)
@frigwiggin FreeTaxUSA is one of the online ones, it's so freaking easy, swear to god you will love it. Although I think it may only be available in some states? If you go to irs.gov, you will see links for places you can file online. What's really sweet is that you can opt to get refunds via electronic deposit. I went from crying with stress over my taxes to running for my computer the second my W2 hit the mat.

On An Unanticipated Titanic Legacy
I went skinny dipping with four guys in grad school at 2am in deepest, darkest, southern Illinois. I do recall wondering if it was the smartest idea I'd ever had, but I could NOT bring myself to chicken out. It was a blast, and I didn't end up raped or dead. My only regret was that as we ran dripping wet and bare-assed from the patrol boat that showed up, I lost my brass zippo. :-(
