Nope.

Thanks for the introduction to Brett Freedman's products. The Gingerella looks like it's actually red, not a slightly-rusted brown. I will be stalking Sephora until they arrive.

I’ve told a longer version of this story here before. It ends with my response “Ray, I went to the same law school as you did and they still don’t offer a copier repair class.”

I think we should be friends.

Doublet, codpiece, thick woolen hose?

Yay, a sexism in law subthread. Early on when I was in insurance defense, a new partner was brought into the firm. As he reviewed and assigned his files to me and my fellow associates, I piped up that I had just worked on a building products case, so I’d like to work on his paint defect case. His reply: No, paint…

Next time, show him this and ask him “remember how to vacuum now?”

I live in Seattle, which is said to have some of the cleanest & best tasting tap water in the country. Yet still I see people buying flats of bottled water at the grocery store. I just don't get it.

Re: Anastasia, it's the only brow line where I can find an auburn color that matches my ginger hair.* Seriously, every other brand is limited to shades of brown - from blonde to brown-black - and that does not work for this redhead.

Opposing counsel (he, of course) broke confidentiality by starting a conversation in the presence of any third party not an agent of his firm - whether that was his opposing counsel, the court reporter, or the Sparkletts water salesman. But ethics, courtesy and professionalism meant that I couldn't let him continue.

Or the court reporter. I once had to stop my opponent from having a privileged conversation in front of me because he assumed I was the court reporter, and he was then mad at me for his wrong assumption.

The worst side work I ever had to do was at a seafood place - deveining, peeling and butterflying pounds and pounds of frozen prawns. The water had to be kept cold to avoid cooking the prawns, and the combo of freezing water and prawn juice would eat through the skin of my fingers. Luckily (ha!) this was in…

Favorite monster-of-the-week episode ever.

We are a staunch Over household except when the cat is in a mood and gets shut in the bathroom. Then it's Under or wipe with shredded TP.

We're cosmetics subject to rations, I wonder? Because I can see many of these working women spending their paychecks on lipstick (red, natch), mascara, eyeliner (doubles as stocking seams), etc. If you can't buy a new dress, a new nail polish or lipstick will have to do.

The lawsuit was brought by the International Franchise Association and a few individual franchise owners. I don't know the relationship between the IFA and McDonald's, but I'm sure there's some trickle-down fuckery involved. The franchise owners have a legit beef, if their franchise agreements prevent them from…

It's the individual franchise owners with the beef here. They're arguing that they shouldn't be considered a large company (the min. wage increases happen earlier for large companies) by virtue of their parent/franchisor being a large company. Which is BS because if they're so independent of the franchise they could…
