Rory - the evolution into being a better person is a result of learning from experiences - including those in which you are held accountable by others for bad behavior.

You totally could - though if I don't hear anything I'm going to go the "I have attempted to contact the head administrator with no confirmation or acknowledgment of receipt of my email and I will keep contacting you" route.

LOVE IT.

and to be a total party pooper - Traumatic Brain Injury awareness has a ribbon color already... Green.

LOL. Our LPM's were total control freaks... so that imagery is very close to what we would have had to do. Ours freaked out about 3%... and they berated Wet Seal's management and LP staff every chance they got. They took utter joy in rubbing it in their face that our shrink was 1/4 of theirs, quite a bizarre group…

It was the same for us when I worked retail. The ONE thing we could do was identify whatever it was they were shoplifting (and inevitably badly hiding) and attempt to guilt trip them by saying something along the lines of "would you like me to find a pair of cute jeans to match with that top in your bag?" ... it'd…

Sadly, Wet Seal has a HIGH "shrink rate" in many cities... I know when I was working retail (at a competitor chain) Wet Seal's shrink rate was well over 10% whereas our store was at 2%. Indeed, the store is often easy to steal from, the policy in place— they structure where their workers are and how they identify…

Unless that college is just a reflection of their protective environment and reinforces the ridiculous thought that all people who do not look like them look the same =\

In all fairness even Americans sometimes have trouble telling fellow Americans apart(I'm 6th generation American and a 50/50 ethnic split of german/irish). In my undergrad I had what can only be described as a Doppelganger... as in I NEVER saw her or met her but am fairly sure if that had happened the universe would…

If a candidate pool is not large or filled with a significant amount of qualified candidates... the going pay should be HIGHER than average so as to increase the amount of candidates. This is especially true considering politics and the fact that women make up a significant percentage of voters, if the GOP's intent is…

Exactly my point... Romney is going to be completely annihilated. Maybe it will be this epiphany moment for some people who now support him(doubtful but hey a girl can dream) to change their stance on the basis of his pure stupidity... let alone his lack of actual substance to any arguments he will attempt to make.

Agreed. How he is even going to propose that we should support his party in general terms let alone what he stands for(if he can figure it out by then or doesn't change his mind during the debates) is beyond me. Then again, there are going to be people who simply vote for him regardless of the dribble out of his…

Well technically the popular vote went to Gore in the 2nd go around... OH, TX and FL electoral vote got the best of us(granted they are elected by vote as well but meh). I have to agree with everything else you've said, I mean we don't see effigies depicting Romney being hung from a tree... but you know Obama MUST be…

While I am not pro-Ohio legislation (I am Dayton Born, Toledo-shithole-raised) all the time, I do have to mention there are two areas where women are concerned that they are progressive in. 1) they do victimless prosecution of sexual assault and many cities have seen success with it. and I know the city of Toledo…

A friend of mine took her son... I believe at 6 months and he had to get 5 shots at once, I don't recall the entire list but I do know two to three of them were boosters for original shots. I know her baby's physician office limits the shots to 5 per visit... at the requirement of the state health department.

This girl wasn't even In Utero(I may have been waiting my entire life to use that pun, corny I know but man I could NOT pass that up) when Kurt was in his prime. My desire to tie her down and force her to watch hours of 90's MTV Unplugged is strong... because trying to educate her in a manner which requires her to rub…

I'd be careful about that... common law marriage is making its way out the door in many states that have previously recognized it. While I'm not saying it isn't something to want... it may not always be recognized where you live, let alone if you decide to move or have to relocate for a job or something else.

Hell, have a friend do it. People can get ordained online... for free (to print out the actual certificate costs like 10 bucks). That way you get the personal touch of having a friend whom you both love and who knows you and your relationship AND the official minister part of the ceremony you're seeking.
