Well to be fair, they are also passing a bill that lets doctors not tell their male patients that there is any problem with their prostate either. Not equating one with the other... just that they are not singling out women’s health.

Hmm.. I have been leaving the comma off; before the “and”. This is a pretty compelling argument to put it there. Need to change my habits now. =(.

Wait... aren’t two of those things “lubricating things”? Sorry to be pedantic, but “10 Uses for WD-40 That Don’t Involve Lubricating Something”

You are making me tear up. I love my cat. It would be very hard for me to go through this and frankly just typing this out is making me sad.

Yeah. It really is a personal decision so if you really love what you do, maybe worth sticking it out despite the salary and workload. Good thing to have a lot of work to. Generally means you are not in a position that could be eliminated. However, whenever an employer says ‘we will do something for you soon’ and it…

...we are in serious trouble

Completely agree with you. Behavioral interviewing questions are much better than simple conversations. Unless your conversation is good at bringing out the same information. Understanding how your perspective employee is going to handle the real life issues they may face in your organization is best measured by how…

I was amazed at how much this story was reflected in my life. Problem is, I generally don’t like people. I am an introvert and like my time free from drama and chaos. I have a few friends I see now and then, but would rather not go out and try and meet new people. I know it would be ‘good’ for me, but it just seems…

Hmm.. I used to rent cars A LOT when I traveled 100% for 2-3 years. I always put my reservation in online, and aside from the one time they flat out messed up my reservation, all my ‘upgrades’ were free. I don’t think I have gone to a counter to rent a car in a decade. Think this sort of eliminates that ‘we don’t have…

Was going to suggest getting a burner for International Travel. Leave your good phone at home and they can search the burner all they want.

Agreed. She was also a diplomat. Her tone and message would change with the audience and circumstances. When stressed, she is more no nonsense, just get it done. When leading... she is hopeful and inspirational. I would argue those are good traits for a leader.

How exactly did the EPA fail in flint? Even if they somehow failed in Flint... does that mean we should not have any authority policing corporations (or anyone else) from polluting our environment?

I am curious, what things should poor people stop buying to afford ever increasing healthcare, assuming they can even be covered due to a pre-existing condition?

Isn’t that always the case with policies that affect the freedom and privacy of people... it’s not a problem until it impacts you or your interests?

I would think if you survived, pooping yourself would be the least of your concerns.

Possibly. Really hard to draw any sort of accurate conclusion based on a couple of paragraphs of text.

I disagree. Some, hell - maybe even most, would call this a relationship killer. But I believe there is a path forward. It really depends on how well folks are in touch with and can articulate their own feelings.

No, Butcher is saying (sarcastically) that the reason we have poor people is so we have a place we can pollute.

I want to live there... just so I can live for a thousand or more years. =)

I was about to comment the same. Not like the typhoons could intercede on the behalf of the passengers in some emergency. But they could certainly bring down a flying bomb in a more desirable location.
