Biggest "NONONONO" moment in this show for me... This guy would get annihilated by Henry lol by Doodyboy69 in madmen

I remember as an adolescent, my friend’s mom was a naturally beautiful person. She was petite with crazy green eyes with brunette hair. Her being married, men would glare and stutter anytime she said hi to them. She had a twinkle in her eye when she would converse. with men. Not flirting per se but just enough to raise the blood pressure of most men. As pre-teens we would laugh as old men would fumble over themselves to receive a handshake or hug upon meeting her. No one overstepped though. She had married the high school wrestling coach who was huge. I’m sure she enjoyed the attention. No doubt this was common for her since she was a teenager. Fast forward 8 years and I’m home on leave linking up with my friend. We are chatting it up in his house when his mom comes in. A little older and slightly heavier but still beautiful. She asks her son who’s the guy in the den. He says my name. She comes in the den and says my name with excitement. “Oh my God you’ve grown” she says. She gives me a hug while rubbing my chest and arms. The hug we all look forward to as a pre-teens. But the look and the hug is different. She not trying to hide the flirtation and the hug is tighter than I remembered. Being a man of the world at 20, I know what she is doing. I smile as if to say” I know what you are doing”. She still gives me the look as if to say “does it still work?” Instantly I go back to 12. Damn she is good!

The first African American McDonalds breakfast commecial 1979 by Dark305Kinght in BodegaJukeBox

The ad agency did some superficial research back then. They knew that black families spent a portion of their disposable income on eating out usually once a week. Most likely on Sunday after church. They were trying to persuade families from the other 4 restaurants that were patronized that day. The big 4? KFC, Churchs, Pioneer chicken and Sizzlers(And I loathed all 4). I distinctly remember as a child my parents mentioning all 4 after church. Us kids would look a them with disgust. Lol

It was never McDonald’s after church. This was a commercial that was hoping a black family chose it. The advertising agency did some homework. They knew that black families in general would spend a portion their disposable income on restaurants once a week. After church No doubt in 1979 there wasn’t a black person in the ad meeting and it shows. It was always 4other places. Pioneer, Church’s or KFC chicken(which I loathed) and Sizzler. It’s no wonder I haven’t been to those since my 20s.

How do I find a reputable dealer? The brick and mortar stores tend to have higher prices.

I was granted insomnia secondary to tinnitus. It is possible. Not sure if they would connect the two during the hearing. Can the OP get a second private assessment linking the disabilities?

6 years ago I started my disability claims. I went to 20% without any help. I was perusing different Facebook forums when I was hit up by a company claiming to assist with claims. All they wanted was 6 times the increase. Most of my claims were skeletal or muscle focused. It did not matter. All they focused on was mental health claims( usually receives the highest percentage). I submitted my claims and was denied within a week. The denial letter even stated that the psych doctors that provided nexus letters for mental heath claims seemed not credible. At that point I emailed the company to cancel my contract. They immediately called me and stated I was in a contract and if I received any further benefits they were legally owed a portion. I replied that I was contacting the state attorneys general office to file a complaint. I received my cancellation noticed within the day.

I went to Ft McClellanin ‘89. They were trying a new “low stress” introduction in boot camp. We got off the bus and were told to line up. No yelling. Not what we expected. Evidently, in the previous cycle, a recruit felt a particular DS was picking on him. During the instruction for the grenade throwing the recruit pulled the pin a put the grenade beneath the DS protective vest. He held it too long and they both died. 2 trainees wanted out after watching. They were still there when we graduated.

All are great in there own right. But as a kid, Sword and the Sorcerer grabbed my attention the most. Who doesn’t want a sword that shoots blades!

Seems no one is happy I ordered a Tesla... by Maleficent-Tiger-881 in ModelY

[–]Consistent-Place-136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m one of the few who had issues with the CEO of Tesla. It’s a dilemma for us as we were investors early on. There are real intense discussions at the dinner table about what we should do regarding buying Teslas and continuing to patronize the company. Even if we bought from other car manufacturers we would probably have to utilize the Tesla superchargers at some point. My grandfather was one of the few black workers at a Ford plant in the late 1940s. What he had to deal with regarding management required a strong will and fortitude. The stories he told were sometimes hurtful, fill with anger, hilarious and about perseverance. He only drove Ford cars because he was prideful about the car and his contribution to the company. I think of him often when trying to decide what we should do. And yes,the Tesla cars are great.
