I think Vaseline would prevent the color from sticking to the parts you don’t want to color

It was very interesting how plausible it was!

I once left a job because Russians bought the company. I started getting calls from a very angry lady in St. Petersburg, who told me she ran the St. Petersburg branch of the company. The what now? Oh, the one they opened and didn’t tell us about. Barking orders at me in Russian style, and everything she ordered me to…

Me too on the female realtor and mortgage broker! And I had to go through a homebuyer education course, since I was getting a grant towards the down payment and closing costs as a first time homebuyer who was considered low income for the area I live in (although my salary was only $3K below the max). They told me I…

He’s all, “I can’t believe they got this much gold plating into one building”

That’s what I was thinking - private means your responsibility

Wouldn’t most of these people have driveways/garages? I can’t tell from the photos. Also, would this make the couple responsible for all street sweeping, pothole repairs, etc? The neighbors might start figuring out how to create a lot of potholes. And how do they plan to police the parking? Sounds like a lot of…

I had a part time job in grad school. The manager got fired the first day I was there for gross incompetence - first time I had ever seen someone escorted out of the building! So we didn’t have an immediate boss for about 6 months until they hired someone else.

I busted my ass at one company as acting manager of my department, hoping to be permanently promoted. They decided to hire from without. All they cared about was finding someone who could make more money for them. Fine, whatever. I kept working, and this guy (who is such a jerk) gave me a 60 day “shape up or ship out…

I met my mom at a tile store this weekend (I’m renovating my bathroom). My dad drove my mom because it’s on a highway she hates driving on, and he stayed in the car and napped.

At that job, the bosses were jerks and the clients were rich people used to everyone kissing their feet, so you can imagine how that would have ended! Now I’m lucky to have a job where I barely have to speak to anyone other than my direct colleagues and vendors.

I’ve had people say that to me before, and one of my life goals is to have someone say it to me on the last day on a job, so I can reply back, “did you forget? Do you need me to call 911?” without getting fired.

No, you’re right - if they can sell it they will. They sell permits for digging in areas they control, and take percentages of anything that’s dug up and sold on by smugglers. Antiquities is an area of art in which it is very hard to collect legally at this point.

It’s absolutely from them, at the start of the chain. They control all digging permits for archaeological sites, and digging up artifacts is one of the few ways people can make money. They sell them on to a smuggler, giving ISIS their cut, and the smuggler gets them to Europe where they get sold on to dealers who…

Oh yeah! Wound up at Georgetown and got herself a hot British husband in the bargain.

I’m glad you said that! That happened to one of my best friends too - the guy who got it had zero AP classes, though and no extra-curriculars. My friend cried for DAYS.

I served on one, where a minister was on trial for molesting one of the girls in his congregation (and we didn’t know it at the time, but he was already in jail for having been convicted for doing the same to her sister). He didn’t call a single witness, even though his whole congregation was there, and glaring at…

My father and brother, both teachers, still voted Christie. At least my dad hates him and regrets voting for him. My brother agrees that the teacher’s union is terrible, but my brother is a known idiot.

I am distantly related to Harold Hoffman, a NJ governor who was convinced the convicted Lindbergh baby kidnapper was innocent, used to get into fist fights with reporters, and embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from NJ. His approval rating was still higher than Christie’s. Family pride!

True, they should. They’re in a tough spot being so reliant on Vogue money for the party and other donations in general, so hopefully they can use this to their advantage and not be seen as supporting it.
