Reason Number 8,439

Here was one of the other kinds of tea that so unknowingly spawned
Melinda's rant about equality...

Reason Number 8,438

Why I never call myself a feminist. Equalist is so much better! Means
you want people to be more equal. In my experience most feminists are
after "their turn" more so than equality and this is how I separate
myself from them. And since this is Sweden I have to point out the
obvious, no not every single feminist in every corner of the planet is
like that. I know. But here I am generalizing and sometimes one part
of the group ruins it for everyone else. That is life. Deal with it.

Well here we have another example of gender "equality" that I tend to
either fairly or unfairly dump on feminists rhetoric in general.

Where the fuck is the men's organic tea? Not in the picture are two
more kinds of tea for women. None for men. Are women so special that
they get their own tea? But men, not as special I guess, don't get
thier own tea?

I know. I know. It's tea. But the rant about the tea and what it
represents is so much bigger than tea. Plus I rant when I am stressed
and tired. Doesn't mean you have to read it right? :)

Mabel in Sweden!!!

This was the exact same cart pushing machine we had at Wal-mart when I
was a cart pusher years ago!!! It was so fun to see it in Stockholm
of all places! The first one we had at our store was called Mable :).
Oh the memories, sniff sniff...

Fun Toilet Part 3

Saving the best for last :)
While I was in Stockholm recently we all went to visit Prince Eugene's
summer/painting retreat. It is now a museum and gallery and one of my
favorite Stockholm places. Especially the interesting bathroom :)

Some Good Advice?

Here we have the paper you get in the mail box when a package doesn't
fit. You take to thenearest post place and pick it up by showing this
paper.
Someone needs to try translating "avin" one more time....

The Bathroom at my New Job

Because there are mostly only boys at the place I work there is actually a special ladies toilet that we few women have the key to.

As a result there is a sign reminding any boys who sneak into our sacred peeing space that they are in the wrong place.

Translates to " If you can read this sign when you pee you have come to the wrong place. This is the ladies toilet."

And it is above the toilet so you can read it best standing and facing the toilet just a boy usually pees.

Hee hee :)

You Cannot See Me....

Yes we can! Hey Sekhmet!

She looks like she knows that she just did something wrong...now I just have to figure out what it was....

Cultural Differences

So I get my desk and my office but it takes me awhile to notice what
the sign near my office says. And being a native Okie I was a bit
shocked. This is a poster that says "Did you forget the condom this
summer? If so please feel welcome to test yourself in person or via
the Internet for clamydia". Yeah. This is at my school. In plain view.
Not even hidden in the nurses office. Which is where the free condoms
are. Sweden is the shit!

Enough said.

Doner Pizza. Don't want to know who or what donated whatever is on the
pizza. And is the famous Don(n)er Party spelled with one 'n' or two?
I think I take the creepy kebab wagon up the street...

Ummmm...

Yeah. That statue has a wing coming out of his butt. Yep. I always
thought that would be a handy place to have a wing. Not a pair mind
you. Like this guy I only need the one. Who needs balance in their
life right?
