Also, I saw an eagle try to catch a snake once, and the snake was a constrictor. The snake wrapped itself around the eagle, grounding it. Neither were letting go, neither were going to survive. It was pretty metal, and it wasn’t beautiful. Definitely grotesque and brutal.

Dead and desiccated bodies around a body of water that has dried up. Fish, antelope, wildebeest, etc.

I could make an argument that Director of Development positions at community charities would fit a Robin Hood role. They aren’t fundraisers, they are tasked with schmoozing and convincing rich folk to hand over large sums “to leave a legacy”. And then the charity turns around and helps whatever group of less fortunate they feel mission-driven to help.

Begging doesn’t really work for the big dollars. You have to use psychology, and that can be twisted to appear as manipulating/robbing the rich.

Oof. I do this to my sweetie. Thank you for the reminder to work on that some more.

I always thought this is why Olive Garden, Red Lobster, whatever 80s/90s fad chain restaurant sang their own birthday songs for patrons.

Happy happy birthday…<br> It’s your special day…<br><br> happy happy birthday<br> That’s why we’re here to say HEY!<br><br> Happy happy birthday<br> may alll your dreams come true<br><br> happy happy birthday<br> from Bennigans to you…HEY!

Bluevine is a great online bank for new LLCs. It’s free. It’s easy to set up accounts. You can get a debit card. They will send you 200 free checks a year (upon request). I’ve used them for 2 of my LLCs and a nonprofit.

Don’t worry so much about interest rates right now. You’re just trying to get established. Once you have banked enough for operating costs for whatever joint maintenance there is, you can turn your attention to how you invest any surplus.

I imagine she formerly worked at a Lonestar Steakhouse. That or she had some affiliation with Texas. Being that these were restaurant folk, I’m leaning toward the first.

My husband did this to his mom! She was not a hoarder by any means but had a decent collection of flow blue porcelain. Some of it was displayed in such a way that anyone who was not her was terrified to just walk near it for fear of bumping it and causing catastrophe.

Hubby found a Kubrick done in a similar blue/white pattern and he strategically put it amongst her breakables to see how long it would be before she noticed. It took about a year before she said something.

He ended up finding another version of the little blue & white bear and did it again. She’s gone now, and I hadn’t thought of those bears in a while. Thank you for that. It’s a very fond memory.

I do sometimes at yard sales or craft markets, like if I’ve found a big pile of stuff I want, I’ll offer a reasonable round number for all of it. If I’m only interested in 1 thing, I won’t haggle unless it’s priced a little too high.

When I hold my own yard sales, jeebus, nearly everyone wants to do it and it wears me out. But I’m looking to unload my clutter so I wheel & deal.

And then there’s car buying…

This is one marketing rebranding I can get behind.

The last time I flipped a coin, I got half my face melted off, and now I have this overwhelming desire to stick it to rich people. One annoying dude in particular.

Definitely some kind of stone bulwark at the cave entrance to keep out the bears and prehistoric cheetahs.

There are plenty of use cases that don’t involve it needing to recite accurate facts.

I used it to help write copy for my website, to write proposals, and to help with rephrasing when I can’t think of the most diplomatic way to say a thing.

Heartening bread-water to fuck? 🤔🍺🫂🛏

Has there been any evaporation? I.e. a condensing or concentration of the, uh, non-H₂O properties of the liquid?

That has been my experience too. The not expected actually there for you friend. There are friends we feel close to and friends who would drop everything to come lend aid. There may be some overlap between those two groups, but don’t mistake the former for the latter.

It’s appreciated! I don’t expect men to cross to the other side of the street, but some little noise to signal your friendly or neutral approach helps.

I’m an avg size woman and I had to consciously make noise to not give my mom jump scares. I guess I am a naturally quiet walker.

I don’t think a cassowary has anything to fear from a house cat. Even a cuddly one. Most I’ve met are ornery as heck though.

If peeing your pants is cool then consider me Miles Davis!

He called the shit poop!

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

That’s the neat thing about paint. It’s very easy to change the color if it doesn’t work out.

If you want commitment free pizazz, find some removable wallpaper in a cozy color.
