Uh I’m actually the cat on the head in the avi. That fuzzy human is just my slave. Meow

@XanHart @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @altamaha

Bow wow wow, yippie yo, yippie yay...

So you got that goin' for ya

@altamaha @Madken65 If it makes you feel better my father named me an ambiguous name because he felt a girl's name would cause me to be discriminated against. After he died people who I had been dealing with in business for years were surprised to find out I am a chick. I dont get whiskey and cigars for Christmas anymore. Frankly I'm sad about that.

@Madken65 @altamaha Don't encourage me I will start ranting about the state of engineering. Make your babies be engineers!!! Send them to camp! Apply for scholarships! https://www.mtu.edu/syp/discover/competitive-scholarships/index.html

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @altamaha where did I miss the engineering leap?

@Madken65 @altamaha You didn't miss anything! I was just responding to the fact that people i have literally had business relationships contracts, emails etc for YEARS, like 30 or more assumed I was male. It's a common problem. My oldest daughter is a research and design engineer and gets told "sweetie, i need to speak to your boss" on site. She is the boss, and frequently there is still not even a restroom for her. Especially on DHS sites. She works for a Swedish company now. PT 1/2

@Madken65 @altamaha So it's entirely possible I pick the name and a robot not entirely consciously but so I can be taken seriously? Does that make sense? I am appalled that there are less women in engineering today than when i graduated also.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @altamaha @Madken65
Semi conscious robot?
I probably would have picked "Bender"

@swinemiester @Madken65 @altamaha But the speech????
It's a political statement!!! https://youtu.be/TKKE58-06dk

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @altamaha @Madken65
Loved that movie!
If some alien came down and tried to say that today, they'd probably get about two words in before someone took em out.
I know...I'm a pessimistic swine.😝

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @swinemiester @altamaha okay, totally get the reference now, one of my fave movies as a kid...Michael Rennie wasn't it?

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @altamaha whiskey and cigars, my kinda lady...I'm sad about that too...although sadly, I did give up cigars

@Madken65 @altamaha lol! it's the principal! Then they found out how many kids I have. There was a lot of whoa.....
