We can talk about opportunities available by gender but that was before I was hired.<br />I have no backyard because the builder stupidly laid the slab (foundation) ten feet too far back on the site. Previously, I lived on 1-1/4 acres. I like the smaller property better but I am annoyed that my backyard is so small.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-58692246655550774262015-02-25T22:10:51.396-05:002015-02-25T22:10:51.396-05:00I admit when we lived in the City and had a big do...I admit when we lived in the City and had a big dog, we hired a kid in our building to walk her sometimes.<br />That is pennies though ... when we are talking about people who get over a million dollars per film.. plus perks.<br />Honey, you didn't call me whiney so you won't lose me ... yet :)<br />I am a female ... I think girls should get the same money as boys when they do the same jobs. <br />I also wanted to tell you I am sorry you don't have much of a backyard lol ... I have an acre of a back yard, and beyond that are corn fields and forests. You might not be in the right location for a good backyard ..<br />Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-91352610318432141052015-02-25T16:38:12.052-05:002015-02-25T16:38:12.052-05:001.

She won an academy award for playing the part (something she <b>will</b> use to increase her value to Hollywood).<br />3. No one knows how much she was paid or how much she pays her babysitter or her dogwalker (do you hire a dogwalker???).<br />4. She is a whiny actor who played a part in a film and was surprised by its financial success and wants more money because of it.<br />5. At the risk of losing you as a reader, I stand 100% behind my words.<br />Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-53711425668996780022015-02-25T13:52:29.802-05:002015-02-25T13:52:29.802-05:00You can take a job because you need the money but ...You can take a job because you need the money but still resent not getting the same pay as the other guy is getting for more pay.<br />She isn't going to sit at home and not work because she is paid less. She will speak up about it on a good forum, as in the Awards shows, where there are plenty of other women in that business who don't get paid the same either.<br />I see no problem with what she said at all.. you think she should not have taken the role and gotten no pay ?
