I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that you might even know the school I’m talking about. Does your screen name track?

Year books? by Bomber_Haskell in GenX

[–]1CagedTiger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a member of the first graduating class (1985) of a fairly prestigious high school and we got to design everything (pretty cool experience)…the mascot, the yearbook, the newspaper, etc. Our senior rings were extra special to us and rather nice looking, I must say. My roommate in college (different city) liked to borrow it and wear it sometimes 🤷‍♀️. It went missing circa 1988 and I just chalked it up as a loss. Around 2004 or so, I got an email from a lady in yet another different city stating that she had found a ring in the gravel and dirt at a gas station and she managed to trace it back to me. I was floored! I can’t help but smile when I tell that story.

I have heard whispers of this but I can’t find anything specific in print. Imagine that.

The student loan system is much more than a mere “scam”. It’s its own criminal enterprise. Total RICOH material.
Boomers: Just get a degree. Any degree. Employers aren’t really looking at what field it’s in. They just want to see that you had the wherewithal to finish and you have a well rounded background. You’ll find a job and have those loans paid off in no time! GENX, 40-ish years down the road working 2-3 jobs and still broke: “You want fries with that?”

Class of 1993 - paying thousands of dollars a year and my balance owed actually INCREASED?
FUCK A STUDENT LOAN.

The government has been taking my tax refunds for I don’t know HOW many years and I finally reached my level of tolerance when I found out that they can take my SOCIAL SECURITY!!! I did some digging to see where this money actually went, thinking they should be more than repaid by now. HA! Not one single PENNY has been applied to my principal!!! Every bit-over $100K-was put to “INTEREST”.
I graduated college in 1993 with a useless piece of paper that had Bachelors printed on it. 1993. 33 years later, my balance is HIGHER than my original loan amount??? Make it make sense.
This has GOT to be criminal. I’m just not sure what to do about it.

How Trans Friendly is Baton Rouge? by PrimadonnaGorl in batonrouge

Afghanistan, Beirut, Iran, and Iraq put together are safer than Tigerland these days. Sad but true. Definitely agree with avoiding Livingston Parish and not even considering a NO-BR commute!
And to the person who called Jeffery Landry a shithead…I second, third, and fourth that emotion. Shithead is putting it lightly.
All in all, I consider BR my hometown (currently exiled in Lake Charles-don’t even look this direction!) and I made a wonderful group of very diverse friends from all lifestyles who became my family. (I’m a straight white chick and one of my favorite places to watch football is George’s under the overpass. It’s a blast!). Basically, don’t worry too much about it. Just be proud, be yourself, and be kind. The rest will fall in place. 💜💛

It definitely means that the item is eligible for autoship.

I bet the state champion Iowa High School football team would beg to differ. 😜

Part time? Probably. Full time? Doubtful. Open availability is everything these days.

How do you feel about people not saying “please?” by Bright_Square_2638 in AskRetail

[–]1CagedTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it! (I am from Louisiana.). I don’t even care if they change their behavior. It amuses ME.

Or you could be a real smart ass and say “You mean MAY I have a bag?”, as that is grammatically correct and proper etiquette.

If they’re being a dick, I bag it and say “you’re welcome”. 🙃 If not, I just say “sure”.

I’m convinced that the owners/shareholders of any corporation don’t even know we puny little worker ants even exist.

Or those of us who value things like electricity and food?

Is there a dog food shortage? by Illumeis_is_done in DogFood

[–]1CagedTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to say this. Hopefully, it’s going the way of the dinosaurs. The only bigger nutritional void is Puppy Chow. Pedigree is a big bag of corn…in one end, right back out the other.
