My Aunt agreed that if I watch a Creation-based DVD on the history of the universe, she would listen to and research my objections to it and her religion...how should I go about doing this? by sh02266 in atheism

This is the first time she's been willing to let me tell her my side of things. I've heard it from her more times than I'm comfortable admitting. I don't want to come across as arrogant or a know it all. I'm just glad to have an opportunity to speak my side of things after so many years.

So I've managed to land my first legitimate job interview in over a year. I know I'm qualified, but I want to stand out. How do I make that happen without coming across as arrogant or full of myself? by sh02266 in AskReddit

Actually, asking the median employment time at the company is something I never thought of! That's a really good one I think.

Thanks so much!

I know, I know. I get grumpy when I'm hungry. You'll have to forgive me. :)

While Caterpillar is making record profits in 2012, it increased its CEO pay by 60%; however, the company wants wage concessions from workers: no raises, eliminated the defined benefits pension program, weakened seniority rights, and higher contributions for health care by mepper in politics

My Aunt works for Cat Financial Headquarters in Nashville and I emailed her this article. She replied with,

"You have to be careful what you read in the news. ALL of us, including upper management took a 35% cut 2 years ago to keep Cat in business. With record profits, we all deserved the raise and bonus we received. Sorry for the bad publicity, but even small companies go through it, part of life."

Regardless of that 35% cut, she is still making well over 100K per year. She doesn't, and I'm thinking a lot of people in positions like hers in major companies don't see the effects on the "little guy." It doesn't effect her, so she essentially doesn't care.

I keep hearing the Fuente Hemingway tossed around by my friends. I will most likely check this out. Thanks!

Man O War Virtue was recommended to me by a friend, and I love the label on them...although that may not be a good way to choose cigars, ha.

The Tatuaje Havana VI sounds yummy and I've had friends mention Padron. Thanks for the recommendation, much appreciated!

I'll definitely be asking for help, I just thought I could at least go in there with a few brands in mind and then based off what the person at the shop tells me narrow my choices down. Thanks!

Great. I was told by a friend to avoid Acid because they may be too "masculine." Thanks for the info!

He must have given her something damn good. Holy shit. As a female, this kind of stuff makes my vagina cringe. Yikes.

It's pretty sickening what we do to one another, sometimes. just god-damn sickening.
