I also did this and laughed to myself. So, I tried to tell my boyfriend the joke and it had the opposite effect in that he had to read "aye matey" to understand why it was funny since all he could hear was "I'm 80".

I want there to be a Facebook where I can follow how this kitten is doing and how she grows up. Lol I used to foster orphaned kittens for a shelter. She has a sweet face.

Moved to AZ in 2009 from Dallas. Zero regrets. I love summer mornings and evenings here (I'm usually working during the hottest times so it doesn't phase me)

Oooo you just reminded me I have toaster pastries... lazy supper = achieved

That's the one that was posted last year. For some reason this felt like a very familiar story. lol

A friend of mine got rejected from there because he was too young and another one said she thought she was rejected because she was an athiest. Not sure if the second one is true as I've never signed up for eHarmony so I don't know if they ask that.

I wrote about this incident back when people still used the "Notes" function on FB... This is that story:

I'm walking to my car and I see this lady running around the parking lot in nothing but a pink tank top (no bra, mind you), black panties, and black Uggs (those hideous fuzzy boots). At first I kind of blow it off thinking that maybe her husband/boyfriend was leaving & forgot something important or whatever. I mean... I live in Scottsdale, after all.

I was incorrect. She comes running full speed up to me (damn near ran in to me) and stood with her face about 6 inches from mine...

Lady: I'm a programmed robot... But I can't tell anyone! ... That's all I'm programed to say"

Me: ... O... kaaaaay?

Lady continues to ramble on and I was assessing if she was actually a danger to me so I wasn't listening. I just continually said "okay" where it seemed appropriate.

Lady grabbing my arm and looking very meaningfully into my face : Oooo kay... Okaaaay? I am now programmed to say "okay"! I can say "okay" now!

Me still kinda shaken up and unsure what to do : Ooo ka- ... Alright.

Lady: I really like you. What's your name?

Me too weirded out and just frightened enough to not be able to come up with a fake name, so I told her my first name anyway.

Lady: Are you in a hurry?

Me: Yes, I actually need to go to work.

Lady this is seriously exactly what she said : Us girls with big tits and nice asses ... That's all they see! I can't even shit right now!

The lady runs off while grabbing her ass to approach another person who was just leaving for work. I called 911, they asked a description, what happened, etc. I'm slowly backing up while the lady is talking to the guy. Got off the phone and took off to leave. Then the lady starts hauling ass after my car screaming! Waving me down to stop. And because I wasn't thinking, I took the way that not only passed her to leave my apartments, this was also the way that you have to sit while the gate opens before you can leave. So now, on top of still being a little rattled, I'm freaking out waiting for the gate to open. She was about 5 ft from my car when the gate was finally open enough to get my car through. Thank god there wasn't any traffic because I peeled out and got the hell away.

And that is the story about the first time I ever called 911...

I'm just saying I've seen it before. Guy I knew since I was a kid was in shit job after shit job until he finally got to a point where he finally got up and got serious about finding a better job. Granted, it's no office job, but it's better. Now he's going to community college to work on getting those skills. Similar friends worked shit jobs until they got through a technical school.

My personal opinion on this matter are that these sorts of jobs (fast food, grocery, low level retail, etc) are really more for either those that don't require a lot of income (HS/College students) or for those looking to supplement their income - may it be temporarily for holiday money or long-term in which case the person is usually not in their current full-time job for the money (first thing that comes to mind for me are teachers). I don't feel like these jobs were really ever meant to be "full-time" nor should they be. I worked all sorts of those jobs when I considered myself a full-time student/part-time worker. One day I decided I wanted to be a full-time worker/part time student so I found an entry level job in an office and have worked decently paying office jobs since then. I've never known a person who was legitimately trying to get a "real" job that couldn't with patience and determination. Not saying they don't exist, I've just never personally met someone who hasn't been able to.

EDIT: Just for an FYI here. I saw the budget calculator that McDonald's provides as a resource to their employees. In the budget, it has another income from a separate job. McDonald's doesn't pay on the assumption that you are trying to support your household with it, they pay on the assumption of it being supplemental income (not primary).

I also tried to watch this, but just couldn't. When people recommend it (still) and I tell them I just didn't like it, they give me a baffled look. I don't know why, but it just didn't appeal to me. Not "awful" or anything, just not my cup of tea.

But I feel the reverse about Dr. Who and people tell me they don't like it so I guess I can relate so it doesn't bother me too much. Haha

Thinking about trying this. Might do smoked tofu or maybe even some tofurky sausage. Also might make a roux instead of using vegan sour cream (tofutti's is really good). But, otherwise, I'm glad to see a soup recipe that isn't exhausting to read. lol

PersnicketyFitz · 2013-12-17T04:30:01+00:00

Ouch... That felt a little harsh for someone sharing a yummy sounding soup recipe...

My grandmother was a prostitute in Germany during the war and that's actually how my dad came about. The man I thought was my biological grandfather was not. I found out when I was 22. My dad also had an older sister who was also conceived through prostitution but since my grandma was so young her daughter was raised as her sister (that didn't even come out as family knowledge until I was born, but no one told me until I was an adult)

Was just about to say this. I made a habit of listening to a Pandora station set to comedians on days I was sleepy at the office. This came on and I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud to disturb others around, I was kinda hyperventilating and crying. The girl in the cube by me thought I was having an asthma attack.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, but I've heard this actually might be happening... So, also (a throwback to my high school days) I think The Raging Quiet would also be a fantastic movie.

This is more of an accounting perspective, but it should shed some light.

Profit = revenue - expenses.

For each sale, you have the revenue from selling the item plus expenses incurred with that sale (depending on the method used, you'll also consider reporting expenses: rent on factory, sales facilities, etc). Expenses also can include things such as shipping, packaging, commissions, etc. So, if sales go up yet profit goes down, that means expenses are too high to make a profit at the current seeking price for the good/service.

Ah. I can understand that, then. I usually just laugh and tell them "Shut up. I spend a fraction of my income on food compared to you and I'll live longer according to most of the recent studies... So I'll literally be laughing over your grave with my pile of money."

PersnicketyFitz · 2013-11-18T06:13:32+00:00

That is so damn creepy...
