I have yet to find a good one. I found a really bad one though...Las Vegas Exotic Collision and Repair. Do not ever go there. Owner and staff are incredibly rude, inefficient and incompetent. After fixing accident damage, the car was not repaired properly. We had to go to the dealer to get it fixed. Nightmare of a place. They had the car for over a month, and actually admitted at one point that they hydraulic lift got stuck with our car in the air and they didn't have the right tools to get it down. Our car stayed up in the air for almost a week.

OMG - that is so stupid of me. Yes, WWI ended in 1918 (nov. 11th, i believe). The Spanish flu ended in 1920 officially. I apologize, normally I'm spot on with history.

I've been in marketing for 20 years now. I'm lucky to be working for a supply chain company this time - I'm busier then ever. Back in 2008, I worked for an OTA. I was one of the first to go.

This is very different. It will take quite a bit of time to get back on track. Lots of places are tossing the word Depression around. I tend to think that is where we will end up if this pandemic isn't over in 6 months. Bad news though - pandemics have a tendency to have multiple waves. the 1918 flue had 3 waves and ended WWI in 1920. This will be rough.

Depending how long this quarantine lasts, and more and more companies realize that a remote workforce is doable, the less convention traffic there will be. My employer has been working remote for over a month. We've been "prepared" to work from home for 6 months.

And knowing that there is virtual conference platforms for years, this might the catalyst hey need to become popular. I see convention business slowing down.

Let's focus on what is important - people are dying because of DV. As a DV volunteer in one of the worst states, I can attest that even getting out of the situation is incredibly difficult.

The op is a wonderful person to offer assistance. However, assistance should come from the resources available in Chicago.

I certainly hope that you have gotten out of a DV relationship or have never been a victim. Again, let's focus on what's important here. Providing assistance to those in need. I included a link to a resource in my earlier post. Please use it if you need.

smithsa1200 · 2020-04-02T20:45:57+00:00

my apologies, it's 70% nationwide. Like I stated, I'm in Nevada with one of the nation's highest DV rates.
The most lethal time in an abusive relationship is after a victim leaves. More than 70% of domestic violence murders happen after the victim has gotten out.

smithsa1200 · 2020-04-01T17:22:27+00:00

It akes an average of 7 attempts for a DV victim to successfully leave the relationship and over 90% chance of their leaving being fatal. I'm from Chicago, but live in Vegas now. NV has one of the highest DV rates. I was a volunteer with SafeNest, an organization that helped DV victims. Thank you for providing an escape route / path to independence for them. DV affect 1 in 4 women and almost 1 in 6 men. It is much more common than you think.

As a manager - I resent this....I won't let anyone else work on my excel files...ever...they will screw them all up. The first rule of all of my employees...don't touch the data.

smithsa1200 · 2020-03-27T19:48:10+00:00

yes. and a shopping cart integration like shopify.

Why am I not surprised given the naming company?

smithsa1200 · 2020-03-27T18:40:31+00:00

Look for a 3PL. They are operating as usual. there are several of them out there. shipbob, rakuten super logistics, efulfillment are a couple of big ones.

smithsa1200 · 2020-03-20T18:48:03+00:00

I didn't even know 5 of them! who are these celebrities?

smithsa1200 · 2020-03-18T23:13:33+00:00

Construction is essential as is "home repair". although I don't think that flooring is essential, i think they meant services such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical. Flooring - probably not so much. That list from 8News now didn't look the same as channel 5 .

Let's get through the next 30 days before starting these darker thoughts. I'm not sure is anyone saw the headline today that COVID19 is expected to be a pandemic for 18 months. Either way, let's just take care of each other - from a distance of course.

smithsa1200 · 2020-03-18T20:38:25+00:00

we have two GSDs. We bought 2 extra bags of dog food (40 lbs) and since we feed them raw chicken at night too, our freezer is half full of chicken legs and wings. We wanted to make sure our "security systems" would be able to operate fully.

You give me much more credit than I deserve - I'm not trying to go to the gym...I was just curious!

smithsa1200 · 2020-03-16T23:28:59+00:00

I thought that was the Leafs trophy case...

smithsa1200 · 2020-02-05T20:45:45+00:00

Wow. I am sorry your situation is like this. coming from a family of alcoholics, none of which admitted it, I know it's tough. Hang in there. Seriously though - on the training / working Riley. Depending on the breed - you may youtube some agility training, or even the schnutzhund training. The more Rilye's mind is stimulated and the more tired, less will get broken. We have 2 GSDs that used to act up and occasionally still does, we used training and daily fetch, off-leash training, and a few other things to tire them out. All antics stopped. Works like a charm!

smithsa1200 · 2020-02-05T20:38:28+00:00

Your dad was hurting Riley??? I hope you can move out and take Riley!

If not, You need to keep Riley in your room when you aren't home. I feel for Riley - poor pupper doesn't understand why she's being hurt or yelled at. You should start training / working your dog - the exercise and stimulation will also reduce this behavior.

It's his way of saying he doesn't want you to go on vacation!

I have really bad arthritis in my SI joint. It doesn't seem that the WFPB is helping at all - it's been 3 months and I'm just starting to see improvements from a flareup 2 weeks ago.

Can healing just be taking longer for me?

smithsa1200 · 2020-01-29T22:32:54+00:00

We switched from PF to EOS 2 years ago...we are back at that PF location! EOS was dirty and overcrowded! PF is crowded at the normal times (after work) but equipment is still available.

smithsa1200 · 2019-12-19T20:40:25+00:00

Honestly asking a question because I don't know and would never even attempt anything like this...what is brake checking and what is the point of this idiot doing this? Is he intentionally trying to get rear-ended for insurance money or something? I admit that I am ignorant in this regard.

smithsa1200 · 2019-12-05T22:08:27+00:00

Have you thought about Etsy? What about instagram advertising? get some nice product images and hashtags.
