"It was a good 12" will become the first phrase to appear on Hall of Fame plaques in two sports, for John Daly and Lawrence Taylor.

And there's nothing to suggest that it was specifically the maternity leave ask that caused them to rescind the offer. And men do negotiate for paternity leave.

I agree, I think an email is not the best option. For one thing, listing your requests in writing just makes them look more like demands, and there's no room to decide "oops, #1 didn't go over well, so I'll skip #2 and just go right to #3 which I really want".

I bought my truck because at the time the 6.0 Powerstrokes in the fords were garbage, and the transmissions and…

There is too much ambiguity in "best". Also, best what? Compact? heavy duty? half ton?

Those velocity stacks...... droooool

This feels like it should get a "Thanks, Obama!"

"Bat Motor Works"

Jim Leyland looks like Paul Newman as Dale Earnhardt.

I would be the same way as this guy. If you are doing nothing wrong (have permits, left space for bikes, etc.) and you wanted to make a smug remark I would have said the same thing back.
