My coworker, who is 31 and in FULL ON marriage desperation mode, finally found someone as equally crazy as her after 3-4 different long distance relationships in the 18 months that I know her. Now after dating 4-5 months, they are getting a credit card together. I know engaged couples who have been together 5+ years without joint CCs. This should be great.
Life is short, but it isn't THAT short. I don't get why people are in a "hurry" to enter a relationship, that thinking almost always ends in disaster. People like this act like everyone around them is judging them for not conforming to the generic married life with the I let fence and 2.5 kids. Jeff Goldblum is having his first kid just now, he's 62 years old. Would you call Ian Malcolm out for making bad life choices? I think not. That would be chaotic.
Yea, there for a few years I was growing very quickly too, I remember the growing pains in my knees/hips/elbows were fucking awful. I didn't start getting nice stuff until about grade 10 or so, when my body stopped growing so quickly.
Good times. Up until age 14, my shoe size was the same number as my age. However I was still under 5 feet tall and barely over 100 lbs. so I had some more growing to do. Four years later I was a foot taller and about 70 lbs. bigger. Thankfully my feet were done growing by then.
In less than two years, Target is closing all its stores in Canada and dropping over half a BILLION because of it. Talk about shitting the bed six ways from Sunday. That's almost 18,000 jobs *poof* gone. They said making the stores like the ones in USA made no economic sense. You just blew 600 million dollars, you HAVE no economic sense!!!
They have a new CEO in the wake of the hacker situation and bad early reads on Canadian expansion. Its just cutting your losses before they sink any more money saving face. Since he took over in July, Target's stock price is up 30%. I think he has perfectly fine economic sense. The only thing he's shitting 6 ways is gold bricks and shareholder ROI.
That's only what it's costing them to close down, not what they've already lost on it. Last year's losses were in excess of $1 Billion. To their credit, they are committing to providing 16 weeks severance for their employees. But yeah, Target Canada wasn't Target from the States... prices were way higher than expected, and they totally fucked up their supply chain. Not surprising they failed.
If you ever fall in love , as if that exists, with someone who is broke, has no job, no credit, no car and is behind on all of their bills and has no place to live you may need to fish in a different lake. If you really want your insignificant other to have a credit card do not cosign, add them as an authorized user so you remain in control, you may also want to mix in a very low spending limit on the card and have notifications sent to you via text whenever there is any activity. I have been married 6 years and my wife and I have no joint CC, she is authorized on a Costco Amex but that is it. Do not cosign for anything ever, especially with family and strippers.
To give American board members an idea of what it was like: take your normal Target store, add shiney marble floors, strip three quarters of the merchandise off the shelves and attach Lord & Taylor prices on everything that remains. That IS really amazing severance for a department store, though.
There is a Subway next door to a bánh mì sandwich shop here in town, and sometimes I want to stand outside the Subway and tell people to re-evaluate their life priorities if they go inside. These Vietnamese sammiches are ridiculously good and cheap.
I would say this place has a superior dollar to sandwich length ratio, and there's a sweet old lady behind the counter too.
I wouldn't call myself a food snob, and on occasion have been known to throw questionable caloric monstrosities down my gullet,,,,,, but why settle for subpar when better and cheaper is so close? My wife loves Qdoba burritos, and in a pinch they're okay. But when I'm in the fucking mood for Mexican, I drive 15 minutes out of the way to my hole in the wall, no-speaka-da-english, shithole to get burritos, taco's, and torta's for half the fucking price that are twice as good as anything that those shitzippers can give me at Qdoba. I just wish I could remember how to say "no fucking cilantro" in mexican though.
Anybody who willingly chooses Subway over a legit bahn mi probably also eats hamburger helper on a regular basis. If I could, I would have a grilled beef bàhn mi and that Vietnamese coffee for lunch every day and be just fine.
I got barbecue beef- one for now, one for later. The place has the signs of really good ethnic food... has a simple menu, probably easier to order in their own native language, and old people of that ethnicity are eating there. If the old Hmong folks go there for pho, you know it's probably good. They make no effort to be fancy and know I don't care- they just focus on the food and I like that.
I have a feeling that they see it as brand maintenance. Means they could potentially try again in as little as five years without "You're back to screw the workers." comments to dodge.
The place that I like offers 2 for $8. And an additional dollar each if you want a fried egg on top. Highly, HIGHLY recommend the fried egg.
Could you perhaps explain the criteria needed for good ethnic food? I'd imagine it'd be "They're not next to a cat shelter and keep adopting out a lot of the fatter cats from that shelter, but you never see those cats again."
