At a time when there’s a growing movement to repeal the 19th amendment (giving women the right to vote), the latest Ipsos International Women’s Day Report, spanning 29 countries, reveals worrying trends among younger people.
The percent who agree with this statement – “A wife should always obey her husband” – by age (male/female) –
Boomers (born 1946-1964) – male 13%, female 6%
Gen X (born 1965-1980) – male 21%, female 13%
Millennials (born 1981-1996) – male 29%, female 19%
Gen Z (born 1997-2012 – current ages 14-29) – male 31%, female 18%
Something to ponder as we celebrate International Women’s Day this weekend.

I ordered a new gas tank for the car since the current one looks like something straight out of Chernobyl. It's a big tank from a Polish company, sold through a German eBay storefront at retail price... with just a five euro shipping price from Poland to Greece.
Honestly, five euros to ship a big tank is bananas. I was convinced that I'd get scammed if I tried, which would be okay since eBay has good buyer protection. But today, I received a tracking number and confirmed that something is indeed heading my way. It looks like it somehow wasn't a scam. I really don't understand how they ship big gas tanks for five euros.
Pretty happy about that though!

Are you changing it yourself? I don't know what kind of car you have, but having changed out gas tanks on multiple chevy trucks - that sucks lol. Hopefully you got what you ordered.
I want to but I don't got the tools. I usually borrow what I need from a friend who has many but he is away at sea at the minute, so I don't even have jack stands. I really should start gathering my own tools soon. I don't really trust mechanics. They usually do rushed jobs that aren't great.Are you changing it yourself?

At the same time, I'm glad I'm not though. I cleaned the old rotten gas out of the current Chernobyl status tank last year myself, and I didn't exactly enjoy smelling gas for hours at a time.
Honestly though, I always love the feeling of success at the end of something challenging, so I am on the disappointed side, lol. But I'm still pretty happy the old tank is going away. I did clean it but it's still really rusty inside. The ten year old gas also left these weird layers of hard black tar.
The car is a Corsa B from 1993, by the way. My Grandfather bought it in 1994. He died in 2015 and the car was left alone in a driveway until last year when I decided to rescue it so I can have it as my first car. It was a good choice—it has 25km on the engine!
Ha ha. I got the job. It was some wait for interview and then offer. Starting next week, Friday! A library custodian, awesome.
I have been 'bubbling' along to this song each day this week and I feel like I am making progress. Because I can sing the song and almost have enough air to hit all the notes before the next pause. Ugh, it's a marathon, but it's so worth it.
After I manage to expand my overall air capacity, it's onto making sure I am hitting all the notes properly. (Without the embellishments!) Which I CAN. But that C6/C#6 before the verses is killer. I just need practice. Then, onto perfecting the lyrics. I love this song.
