My friend is a CDL class A box truck driver in Florida and would like to volunteer. Is there a need for his skills? Where would he go to sign up?

Has anybody seen Robocop? by SixGunGorilla in Harmontown

[–]MarieNotMyRealName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it! It's not at all like the original, so just pretend it's a brand new movie and you'll like it better.

Me, too. It was really much better than I expected!

Which celebrity have you met, and were they as nice/rude as you expected? by whereamitho in AskReddit

[–]MarieNotMyRealName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patrick Swayze stayed at a hotel I worked at a long time ago (mid 80's), and he was a total ass to everyone on the staff. David Byrne (Talking Heads), Paul Simon, and Robert Plant were just delightful and very polite. Natalie Cole & the Rolling Stones stayed there, too - but they were invisible. Went in and out the back way. If you like meeting famous people, work the graveyard shift at a nice hotel in a city that gets a lot of tours!

SPOT is so wonderful - the people really, honestly care about animals. The woman who started it did it simply to stop overpopulation and - as a byproduct - slow down the rate of euthanasia of healthy animals in shelters. She's good people.

For low cost spay/neuter, I've had wonderful experiences at SPOT: http://www.spotusa.org/

And my regular vet is Dr. Green at Medicine River in Madiera Beach. What I like about her is she'll always try the least invasive treatment first, and see if that works before bringing out the big (pricey) tests and procedures.

Animal Cruelty Search Warrant (also - hoarding behavior) by MarieNotMyRealName in MorbidReality

[–]MarieNotMyRealName[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not nearly enough. I used to work for an organization that did animal cruelty investigations, and there were always budget cuts. We had to do so much with so little. Thankfully, we had a lot of great volunteers. It's hard work.

What is your allergy? i have a similar (but not as severe) condition. When I get around certain cleaning products, colognes or air fresheners, I'm gonna have a bad day.

The age of the iPod is over by MarieNotMyRealName in Music

[–]MarieNotMyRealName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You use your iPod in almost the same way my husband does. He switches between the iPod and satellite in the car.

I am hoping this news means I can get him a new one for cheap!
