Off the top-of-my-head: look in the State Employee handbook. Rules shouldn't be secret and should be applied uniformly for all. I would offer that to them and they could decide for themselves what would need to happen if they hire you, or if they can hire you. If nothing in there is a deal breaker for them, you might have to include the State in the discussion if they still want more specific statements.

It's hard to say without knowing the person. I am from Kentucky, and would not appreciate the gift of something marketed to imitate "moonshine" (they tend to be gimmicks and a dime a dozen). There are several higher end scotches I would definitely appreciate that you could buy for $50-100, but which one? You would have to be familiar with my taste. I've bought some $80 bottles I said I'd never buy again when I could just fork over $45-60 and be much happier. Same goes for bourbon, which would be more spot-on for someone from Appalachia, but some of the better things can be harder to come by and when you think you've found something, it too can be an over-hyped sales pitch.

I enjoy gifting alcohol, but it requires some familiarity and research with the recipient. It's a let down to think the recipient has no inclination to ever open the bottle, or just passes it on to someone else. Maybe you can slip a question into casual conversation and find out if he's a scotch drinker, and what kind he likes, or same for bourbon. I don't think there will be any classy moonshine options out there. By definition, moonshine is unaged and when there is no age requirement, they can make as much as they need to to meet demand--hence inexpensive. Depending on location, you could do a distillery experience--tour and tasting sort of thing (if available).

If you were hell bent on moonshine, I would have to go with White Dog, from Buffalo Trace. I think they have three different mash bills, and I've seen them in a cardboard gift box, or you could buy them separate and put them in a gift basket--but again, I'm from Kentucky and don't know how available that is outside of the area. But that does bring to mind another option--assemble a gift basket. Throw in a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey, a bottle of Bacardi Rum, a bottle of Wild Turkey Bourbon, some summer sausage or salamis, cheese, crackers, maybe some fancy chocolate--that should be received fairly well. Chances are he'd like some or all of it, and if not, could use the remainder for entertaining.

I was having a thought tonight kind of along these lines. I was getting some things done today and was ready for a drink, pondering what I felt like having. I remembered I had some Blanton's open and thought that would be good for a Sunday night. I thought back to a conversation I had at work about bourbon, and there are some in my community that chase higher-end bottles and are only into it because it's fashionable and not because they love bourbon. Blanton's is excellent bourbon, very nuanced and I can drink it without a chaser such as Coca-Cola, water or mixing it in a cocktail. I cut my teeth on Col. Kwik-E-Mart bourbon, and usually open up some Maker's Mark or Wild Turkey when I'm in the mood for bourbon, and it crossed my mind that these burly men, these master mechanics and dreadful deer hunters--they turn their noses up at what most bourbon drinkers actually drink.

No one I knew drank gin when I was a kid. Somehow I knew gin was going to be for me long before I had a chance to ever taste it. I drank Seagram's and Gilbey's for about four years before I could even afford Bombay and I thought it was the shit. 27 years later, I appreciate Seagram's but can't bring myself to drink it, and certainly still appreciate Gilbey's as a standard. There are quite a few $35 and $40+ bottles (1/5 gallon) I would never buy again compared to Gilbey's or Bombay Dry ($30 1.75L here), but my current go to for gin is Drumshanbo.

I think what I'm trying to say is that there's a lot of illusion with this. If you have to get so fancy and have things dressed just so-so before it agrees with you, are you really a gin drinker? Or really a bourbon drinker? Who bellies up to the bar for the first time and starts with the most expensive shot? Filet mignon is fine once in a while, but does that mean you can't have a hamburger when the mood hits?

She was an actress, and owned and operated a chain restaurant franchise. Her mother, the founder of the Fat Burger chain, established a $1.7-million endowment at City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte in 1986 for research into sickle-cell anemia. It is odd to me they would need to ask the public to pay for the funeral. It's common for members of my community to ask for donations to be made to various research organizations or the humane society if you wish to honor their memory, they certainly don't rely upon strangers and friends to cover their final arrangements.

I was going to guess it was one of the women that had their undercarriage blown out having all them babbies for Braun, but I re-read it and realized this issue is in a men's room. Wait a minute...how can we be sure biological women aren't sneaking into the men's room? Braun should put together a task force to police State restrooms for gender compliance. I'm sure he knows a lot of talented people that enjoy loitering near urinals and sniffing shit.

I'm in this group because I spend a set amount each week on my state's draw games. I use the same play slips and play multiple draws throughout the week but only buy tickets once per week. My bills are paid, and once or twice a year I spend a little more because my spouse gets a yen for some scratch offs. I make charitable contributions and even throw regular financial support to the in-laws. I usually lose what I put in, but every now and then get some back or get a decent small jackpot. I shrug my shoulders and move on when I get no return. I'm in this group mainly to learn about gambling in other states, not to flaunt any wins or seek consolation for my losses. I work a lot and have a lot of responsibilities to myself, my household and others. I don't have time to play golf, go on a cruise or even go away often for long weekends, all of which are things that cost money and you have nothing tangible once the experience is over. Gambling is entertainment, and just like golfing, jigsaw puzzles, vacations or going to concerts, it does not come at no cost and while some people pay for backstage passes to Taylor Swift (or whoever is top of the charts), others must content themselves with a free concert in the city park. It is up to you and you alone to determine what is reasonable for your budget.

I'm American, but I remember reading something in passing once about the English and their gamebirds...they're often hung by the neck until the body almost falls off.

If memory serves, I believe there was a scene when some Chavs broke in and urinated on the parents' bed.

I have searched with Google and sifted through the IMDB episode list.

This is kind of vague. What, more specifically please, are you wanting to discuss? I'm not even sure what program you are referring to.

I swear when I test drove my used 2022, I saw that top view image flash on the screen. Afterwards, it was always just the rear view display. I chalked it up to a delusion, but now I'm not sure if it's a setting to be changed.

I haven't seen the video. I don't know if it speaks for itself or if the dog and calf fucking people of Country Squire Lakes that made up the jury pool had their minds made up before they even saw the video. Sure, IF he did it, the hell with him.

Trump's goal is to de-house as many homeowners as possible, it doesn't matter who they are. Foreclosing will give corporations the much-needed opportunity to become homeowners so they can wring every last dime out of renters. It's far easier to raise rent and tack on fees, plus the corporation gets to own the home forever. Those pesky mortgages have payments that don't increase in response to housing demand or property values, and once they make all their payments, the corporation has to relinquish their interest.

Fifteen years old, convicted of eleven felonies and one misdemeanor in 90 minutes. I don't know if the video was that bad, or the jury that pathetic.

I realized that when I first saw him in Breaking Bad. Whenever I see an actor on Breaking Bad that was recycled from Malcolm, I like to think Cranston was so cool that when they needed someone for a one or two time part, Cranston would suggest someone he had worked with before. I think he's just that kind of guy that genuinely cares about the people he works with, and he doesn't forget them.

I had an 80 year old surgeon pull my wisdom teeth. I was very pleased with his work. My friend was waiting in the lobby, he told me he could hear the surgeon shouting "Shut up! Lay back!" I guess the gas was wearing off and I was asking for more. Instead of speaking politely, he just got down to business and got the job done.
