Idiots are paying up to $80 for a box of twinkies on EBAY. I saw one auction where they have bid up 3 larger size boxes up to $360. I am just pissed they are all sold out around me so I can't sell them to morons.
Wonder bread is disgusting unless you are under the age of 8. Any slice of bread that you smush into a ball as small as a dime should be discontinued.
Better, thanks. She wasn't well enough to go to swimming lessons in the morning, though. She didn't appreciate that but her fever broke so she's finally sleeping in the chair next to me. Shit. Carpet shampoo cleaners really bring out the lustre. It is such an improvement after a year of a child laying siege to it.
Angel, Crown, you can both kiss the darkest part of my white ass, BECAUSE I'M THE ONE WHO FIRST SUGGESTED AN "ASK A COP" THREAD. Way back in 2010. Something I've learned is that cops love to ask questions, but they aren't too keen on answering them. Anyway, I saw/heard this cute little lady open for Social Distortion last night. Her name is Lindi Ortega, and I think you should all check her out:
Most copys who work 4 days a week work 10 hours a day, which is still 40 hours a week. Even if he's eight hours training, I'm guessing there's 2 hours of prep work before and after. I'm not seeing the hate. If you want to complain about high paid cops, look at people who cheat pension systems by working at one agency and then "retire" to another to get six figures after they retire. Or contractors who make 100-200K and who are happily paid by the government rather than paying their own soldiers a better rate. Finally, as for teachers, I don't know anyone who thinks that $40K in most areas is a great salary, especially for a family. Many teachers are also coaches/activities coordinators/play people, whatever. Point is, they're working several hours after school many days. So there's that. Most are also required to work throughout the summer both to pay the bills and also because most districts have continuing education requirements. Similar to MBAs and other advanced degrees, becoming an assistant principal often requires a master's or doctorate. The pay is pretty irrelevant because there's no context, just like people (not Dewercs, I have no idea if the sergeant does 10-hour shifts, the Colorado staties do) who say it's 4 days a week, or 180 days a year. The pay for teachers is generally horrid compared to the income of most people in their area. Throwing out a $30K number or $40k is meaningless if the average income in town is $25k or if it's $75k. For reference, men in the town I grew up in made a median income of more than $80,000 and women more than $75,000. WHen I reviewed the contracts of the teachers when I was a reporter, it would take about 15 or 20 years to get to that same income level. Again, context.
I just looked at the 'what I'm listening to thread'. You have this on repeat? You do.......don't you? Good on you. More music and girls dancing;
Eric Church is dead sexy. But I'm afraid that post Chief, he's going to be too mainstream. God help me, there are women here who find Jason Aldean sexy. And I don't understand it. edit: I picked up a bottle of TX Whiskey to make a toddy tonight. So. Damn. Smooth. I may not be at 100% but with this... I'll settle for 75%.
It's only saturday and I am already dreading going back into work. It sucks. I have to dime out my supervisor for fucking with my personal life, and then I'm going to be working around him because I guarantee they won't fire him. It's lose-lose. Reporting him to the Cheese is the only thing I can do for closure outisde of picking him up by the face and slamming him through a re-bar pylon. I haven't hated a person this much at work since my roofing foreman. Sorry, I'm ranting. Ranting when we should be healing, and we're all winners because we are here. Haven't heard this in a little while, maybe it will cheer me up...
I don't know about dead sexy, but for mainstream country, he's pretty cool. I posted this ( a good song, even for people who don't care for country) last night and no one seemed to notice. I think most of the cool kids may have been off in their own corner Googling each other. As much as I'd miss those legs, that picture of the TX whiskey bottle would make a good avatar for that other girl up in your parts.
That's a fantastic song. Actually the whole album is really good. One of my favorites. Along with Springsteen. And Love Your Love the Most. and
Oh, but why not? I bet your corner is a lovely place to play. Now here is some music to hit the vaporizor and dance too. HaHa...1976. Let's all feel good and discover each other! EDIT: I'm not even completely kidding. I've listened to it three times and am liking it.
Are you kidding me, you slap a slice of kraft american cheese, grill it up and serve with canned campbells tomato soup and that is my idea of heaven. I just came home from a 5 course tasting menu prepared by a James Beard Foundation chef, but some things you don't want to let go of no matter how old you get.
