While my dad is retired (with 30+ years), he HATES Trump.

This makes me so happy. I grew up in Oregon so I never thought much about the choice and took it for granted. A few years ago, my brilliant and successful grandmother decided to end her life in North Carolina because she was tired of living in constant pain from an illness. Watching her choose to end her life at 93…

Atlanta and AmericasMart is what comes to mind too. I’m in the home and gift industry, and a number of big vendors and buyers might seek out other shows if this passes. The mart brought in almost $200 million to the GA economy in 2013/2014. Not nearly as much, or people who are speaking out, but I don’t see how these…

Federal inmates have access to email, but I don’t believe state prisons do (maybe at the minimums or camps, but highly unlikely). And for federal, from what I understand their “internet” is a closed system that you can’t actually access “live” search engines, etc. and someone must be present with computer access (as…

I accidentally called 911 from work one time (because dialing 9 +1 before the area codes+slippery fingers = just asking for it) but promptly hung up and didn’t think much of it (whoops). And wow, the hottest police officer showed up at my office to check up on the call. Apparently I had resorted to using 911 to pick…

For me it was a way to meet people, be involved and ultimately have a “home” away from home... A constant, quiet and welcoming place to go when my family was over 1,000 miles away. Some of the most driven and intelligent women I know were my “sisters,” and a number of them worked their way through college. I was over…

My mom has been known to send me magazines he graces the covers of. I hope this one makes it in the mail. Luther has probably been my favorite character of his but #stringerbellforever

I love doing tours or classes when traveling! It’s a great way to a) meet people b) learn some new things, and c) get ideas for a other places to see and traveling tips. I also have met some great people by either them or me eavesdropping and striking up conversations while eating out.

Holy cow, this is what I do. I definitely do the plane scan and turbulence makes me so anxious. I’ve held hands across the aisle with an off duty flight attendant. Glad I’m not alone?

I've heard you tip less when you work with the owner. I've worked with an estititian who refused a tip as it was her practice, yet the woman I go to for laser who also owns, has the 15%, 18% and 20% as defaults when you check out (I think this is weird). Thoughts?

I grew up in Portland, and while yes, the rest of the state is largely conservative that doesn't mean they are necessarily bigots. I remember chanting "No on 9, the OCA has lost their mind" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Ci…) in elementary school 20+ years ago and I also remember partaking in my high school's…
