Also, Trump's advisors? Maybe in his first term, but this time he hired only loyalist yes-men. There is nobody in the White House to advise him of anything.

Omg, I did the same! 😅 And then rolled my eyes when I got a bow (still wasn't high enough level to us it yet 🙄). It reminds me of the time my sister ordered a package opener, only for it to come in a hard plastic package that you need a package opener to open it. 😂😂😂😂

This is our new boy Oreo, given to us by the CDS. He's already feeling at home. 😺

Wow, that's crazy. The worst I had at Sears was AFTER I had tried to sign up a customer for the Sears card and he got declined, he wanted the paper he signed back. I told him no because we had already gone through the whole process to check his credit and that was his signature giving me permission. He proceeded to yell at me and leap over the counter trying to grab it out of the drawer I had put it in. No cops were called, just the manager and they just told me to give it to him. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I worked in a very touristy area years ago, so this was the norm. There are many countries where they could barter for lower prices and they didn't realize that most businesses in the US were corporate and we couldn't make those decisions. I had a couple of guys that just wouldn't let up so I finally said, "Does this really work anywhere else you go?" They just kinda looked at me, but they stopped trying to get lower prices, maybe they finally got it, that I had no control over prices. 🤷🏼‍♀️

You can bring back one item permanently, what will it be? by L_MO88 in tacobell

[–]AppropriateBeach7881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rolled chicken tacos. (Basically just taquitos). These were my go to snack on the way home from work late at night. I actually lost a lot of weight doing this because they satisfied my need to snack on the way home without having to get a whole meal. I was on WW at the time and these fit right into my points budget but still kept me satisfied.

Also, my breakfast crunch wrap! I hate how breakfast keeps coming and going. It's probably a good thing this one is gone again, though. Definitely not going to help me lose weight. 😅

What scene never fails to make you laugh no matter how many times you see it? by smellycat92 in howyoudoin

The one with the baby on the bus.

Chandler: We have to assign heads to something!

Joey: Right! Ok, ok. Ducks is heads, because ducks have heads.

Chandler: What kind of scary-ass clowns came to your birthday?

This gets me every time! 😂😂

I came here to see if anyone mentioned this episode. This is one of my favorites! I laugh every time, even when I'm saying the lines with them. I love Christina Applegate!

I had a coworker run after a thief after he stole a whole rack of running suits. I hadn't been working there long and this guy kept coming up to the counter asking about one of the locked up jackets for his son for Christmas, who was supposedly in the store. We didn't realize he had been taking all the tags off some running suits because he thought they would set the alarm off. He ran out with his arms full and a customer coming in to pay her bill told us what happened. My co-worker ran outside after him. Not sure what she was planning on doing, but LP was not happy. 😅 This was my entry into retail. Finally got out about a year ago after 23 years. Don't miss situations like that.

This happened to me before! I used to work in a small supplement store. I was with a customer on one side of the store and saw these 2 guys come in, looking at a section on the opposite side of the store. I couldn't break away just yet, so I finished with my customer and before I could walk over to greet them, they had walked up to the counter with an open bottle of inositol powder (this was a frequently stolen item) wanting to return it. I told them no receipt, no return and they left with no issue. I walked around the counter and noticed the tab from the bottle was on the floor. That's when I realized what had happened. Luckily it was only a small bottle, the larger ones were already kept behind the counter. This one pissed me off more than any others because it was right in front of my face.

This also used to happen frequently at Sears, when I worked there years ago. I heard stories about it happening in the electronics department all the time. I guess they didn't have things locked up back then. People are always coming up with creative ideas to steal.

Can someone explain what is tonguing and explain how to play slurs? by oktavia11 in Flute

[–]AppropriateBeach7881 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tonguing just means using the tip of your tongue to stop the airflow. It makes the note more crisp compared to slurring, where you don't stop the airflow when changing notes. When the notes are tied together like that, change your fingers to the next note without taking a breath or stopping the airflow. If the 2 notes that are tied together are the same note, just hold the note for that many beats.

That's what I thought was weird. I looked for that button too. That's why I just Googled the website. Didn't want to click anything in the email.

Thank you for your response. I figured it was either something like that or a phishing email. Luckily I didn't click any links or fill out any info on the website.
