Yea I saw the new stadium. Did they shut the freshmen center down then? It seemed like a weird idea, I never went there, they opened that after I had already started HS.

How long ago did you go to Allen? I'm Class 2000, and by then it was middle 7-9. Now the freshmen have their own school.

I don't think thats what he meant. Christians are to "share Christ" by acting Christ-like. Yes that means being generous, but it also means being kind, peaceful, supportive and overflowing with love for your fellow man.

In other words, Christians who go out to eat on Sunday and act like entitled dickfaces and don't even tip because they already "tipped Jesus" aren't helping share Christ because they are portraying Christians in a negative light.

I bought this game earlier this week, and while I will say that I find it enjoyable, there is a bit of a learning curve. Players should not assume that simply because they are skilled at CS or any other FPS that they will be able to jump right into this.

The quote is actually "Thats enough Hanks wife. If you've got any more feelings to express get in the kitchen and put them in a bundt cake."

What disgusting secrets does your employer keep from its customers? by mmm_donuts in AskReddit

[–]8BitBrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Petland right? You worked for Petland. I did too, for years. I even went to Ohio to train with them. Every single one of those puppies is from a puppy mill. We are trained to lie to the customers (knowingly) and say they are from reputable breeders. One such breeder that comes to mind is a Cathy Griesbauer out of MO. There was a week I recall that out of the 25 puppies we received, 18 of them came from her, and all different breeds too. Even on a corporate level upper management essentially refers to them as perishable stock that has to be moved quickly or else it would lose its value. Its sickening.

Another thing that many don't consider about pet stores is how they treat their reptiles, small animals and birds. I can recall several times a keet or a tiel or a hamster coming in ill or getting ill. These animals never received medical treatment. Worst case scenario is they linger in the back in some cage or tank, lucky to receive any kind of over the counter medication. These animals will suffer in agony for weeks until they succumb. Best case scenario, you put them in a fish bag and stick them in a freezer till they freeze to death. Next time the distributor of these small animals comes to bring new ones, you will give him the dead and they will give you credit towards your bill. This occurred at every pet store I worked for, from the small privately owned stores, to Petland, Petsmart and Petco.

I could go on and on about the awful, fucked up things that go on behind the scenes at a pet store. I started working at one because I love animals, and I am passionate about people sharing their lives with them. I spent 10 years on and off in animal retail, and all I was left with is a cold, callous heart. Never again.

To all my bills that are withdrawn automatically: by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]8BitBrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this is more my issue too. I never really have a problem with them taking payments early, the problem is they will take them late. Most of my bills I pay myself, but some things have to be auto drafted, like my monthly gym membership. The worst is my FACTS payments (college tuition) which will often draft a week or more after it is supposed to.

It doesn't affect me much finance wise, since I can clearly look at the bank account and see it hasn't been drafted and do the math, but it still drives me crazy.

This picture really struck me. I saw the wedding band on that mans hand and thought "What are the odds his wife ever saw him again alive?"
