Nationwide is on Danica Patrick’s Side

nationwide_danica_patrick.jpg

In a new GoDaddy…uh…Nationwide Insurance ad, GoDaddy…uh…Nationwide Insurance spokesperson Danica Patrick touts the brand’s current mantra; that it doesn’t have shareholders so it’s puts its members first. She also touts the brand’s long-running Vanishing Deductible which, according to this commercial, results in something much better than a $0 deductible: Danica Patrick’s phone number.

Courtesy of rabble rouser Dale Earnhardt, Patrick’s number is revealed so those who have lusted after her for years in GoDaddy commercials can harass her. Of course, if the lustful actually call her, they will be disappointed. The number is not Danica’s cell number but it does lead to a message from her asking for suggestions on how she can return the prank to Earnhardt in a future ad. ANd if Danica likes your suggestions, she just might call you back. Fan boys can only hope.

Psychology says the person who is kind to everyone and close to no one isn’t always lacking in the capacity for intimacy — they’re managing their exposure to it, and management and intimacy are fundamentally incompatible, which is why the closeness they’re managing against never quite arrives

Women who have developed something genuinely beautiful in their character by the time they reach their 60s and 70s aren’t the ones who were always kind — they’re the ones who went through enough to become bitter and chose something else instead, who were let down enough times to close off and decided to remain open anyway

People who have quietly accumulated real financial security over a lifetime don’t talk about money the way people who are trying to signal wealth do — they’re unhurried, they never seem to be calculating, they replace things when they wear out rather than when they impress, and there’s a specific quality of ease in how they move through the world that has nothing to do with spending and everything to do with never once having to wonder whether they can

I’m 65 and I spent my entire adult life being the most competent person in every room I entered and it took a therapist asking me one very quiet question at 63 to help me understand that the competence wasn’t confidence — it was the strategy of a child who learned that being needed was the closest available substitute for being loved

I grew up in the 1960s when a handshake still meant something and your word was a contract — and I’m watching a world where nobody believes anything anyone says anymore and wondering if we lost something irreplaceable when we decided trust was naive
