FIXED.
It WAS terrible, wasn’t it? I just wrapped up a total of fifteen years of it, if you count my high school job of working in the movie theater, which I do. (I also just realized: today is my two-month anniversary at the first non-customer service job of my life. Hooray! Perfect timing.)
Interesting fact about tomato allergies: It is possible to be allergic to cooked tomatoes OR raw tomatoes, but be fine with them the other way. Evidently, cooking them changes something in a chemical structure (don't ask me for details) so you can eat them one way but not the other. What I heard is that it's rather…
For hanging on the wall so you can remember that you are an evil filthy sinner!!
If schools really wanted to be healthy, they would not be doing 2-3 periods of math and 2-3 periods of English a day to test prep. A growing number of schools have science and social studies as a rotating subject. I don’t want to do 2 or 3 periods of math a day, why in the hell would kids? More time in math =/= more…

Once, an 8-top of Christians left one of those “Here’s a Tip for You!” pamphlets on my table, in lieu of a cash tip. I was sort of used to this, so I didn’t remark much, just tossed it into the bus tub with the rest of the debris, and a glower.
I’m a little late but here goes. I worked in a Gay Dennys in Arizona and soon after gay marriage became legal, I had the most adorable elderly couple of men, one white, one black. They were seated at the counter and had on these beautiful leis. I asked if I could feel the real flowers and asked what the occasion was.…
The waitress in that second story was so hilariously clueless, I pictured her as Starfire from Teen Titans Go. “On Tamaran, we offer the free refills of the beverages!”
HIS WONDERFUL HAN SMILE. IT MADE ME SQUEAL WITH GLEE LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AND I’M A GROWN-ASS MAN.
Re: your ancient lady defender.
Yes altogether. I told my spouse the other day that women don't often respond nicely to benign compliments because there is a 50/50 shot that the next words out of dude's mouth are going to be offensive as fuck, and we're left feeling stupid that we allowed our nice tendencies to make us vulnerable to that crap. So…
Also, young ladies are known for fainting in the crotch at the line "I'd love to visit with you longer." "Oh, don't descend, dear Sir, I will hand over my pantaloonies this very moment."
