That is very traumatizing! I'm genuinely sorry that happened! Thank goodness the birds were okay, though. It's amazing how lazy employers will be about safety until something actually happens and they face a lawsuit or workers comp.

When things like this happen, we all want to find the quickest thing to blame and that is typically guns and gun control. I can understand why this is a big issue, but there's something more important we always ignore.

My other story is when I worked as a prep cook in a restaurant and I had an awesome chef/manager that studied in France, but the restaurant itself has waaaay too many managers there even now. There was as many as five managers working there at one point, and the biggest bitch is when they all want one thing done their…

I was 16 and I needed a job anywhere I could, and being in a small town area, my options dried up. So I figured I would just work at McDonald's and give my friends free food. The McDonald's I had the misfortune of working at is connected to a gas station, the Micky D's and the gas station are owned by the same guy, I…

I'm not Latina, I'm more Russian and Native American if anything, but I feel bad for any Latina woman who watched that last night and assumed that's what all white women think and feel. I'm the minority in my area and I love it because it puts me in a humbling place and I have seen what Americans from Mexican…

I like California Baby's calendula cream.

It may be just me, and I don't care if it is, but I'm seriously adamant that Bruno Mars is a secret MJ child. I don't care where Bruno Mars came from, whether it is Kalamazoo or Kazackastan, MJ had the money to make things happen. I will die believing this.

We need to end the racism issue once and for all:

Everyone needs to know about carne asada fries. In fact, these should be a right, not a privilege.

I am learning to enjoy it, along with music in My Little Pony, because I see it as a gateway to great broadway, and even opera, for my daughter. It's like her training wheels of musicals. I hope you understand what I mean. :)

She is probably as tired of this song as all us parents are. My kid was one of many, many kids auditioning for the school musical. Guess which sing was heard all around? Way too powerful for elementary kids. I convinced mine to do the "Do You want to build a snowman?" one because she's 6 and fits her voice. She's also…

Thank you!

Here's a pic. :)

You've never had carne asada fries?!

Carne asada fries.

On certain nights I can catch Rob on twitter and have little conversations with him. He's the kind of guy with a friendly small town attitude. I'd buy him a beer.

We have set roots here until he retires. We are fortunate to live in the best elementary school system in the entire state of CA and the middle and high schools are great, as well. When she is on her own, he wants to retire in Traverse City. We are missing home so much, me especially with my dad slowly losing his…

Thank you so much for this. I'm literally in tears.

They seriously grouped wiccans with satanists? Disgusting.

I was, too.
