The article also doesn’t mention the VAWA, signed by Bill Clinton in 1992, which prohibits a landlord from evicting a victim of domestic violence.

I feel like GM isn’t a typical King story. It’s great, but something about it feels different. I can’t watch the movie, I sob at the execution scene. And the book makes me so sad at the end with the mouse. Ugh. Damn you King.

I read the unabridged version of The Stand in like 7th grade (over 1,100 pages of it). Adults didn’t believe I was actually reading it, mostly just because of the size of it.

Yes. Some of his stories are outright frightening, but it’s more that the stories makes you THINK. “What would I do if this were me”, that’s the part that terrifies.

Dark Tower is great, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a newbie. I think it’s a lot to begin with, and much better understood if you’ve read a lot of the “associated” works first.

I opened a directv account today and they had to run my credit. I asked if I could get around it by setting up direct pay (I have great credit, but it’s the principle of the matter for me) and they had to run it anyways. Annoying to have to do for only a $50 a month bill.

I’ve already answered this twice in this thread, but I’ve had family with health issues, as well as worked with violent teenagers. And the screaming/crying comment was more so referencing the many episodes of Dateline and other true crime shows where they play 911 clips.

Have experienced some emergencies and worked w violent teenagers.

I live in a small town in upstate ny, and we only have a Kmart, a Tops, and dollar general/family dollar. Our Kmart is old and beat up, but I like their holiday decor and outdoor section (esp the end of season sales so I can stock up for next year). I have two Wegmans within half an hour drive, including the town I…

Parents with health issues and a job where I worked w violent teenagers.

I’ve never had a busy signal, but def some disinterested operators. I guess you get jaded when you hear crisis all day.

Whenever I call 911 I start with “I’m calling from” and give my location. Seems like common sense. But I’ve seen too many ppl who just start screaming or crying in situations where you need to keep your cool.

I live in New York and find that many of my less expensive solar lights don’t last through the winter evenings (when it gets dark at 4pm). Just not enough sun during the day. I’d imagine the back up batteries would work in that situation. Do you find the light to be nice and bright?

I’ll be working. But I don’t mind. I’m in charge of a project at the company I just started at, and I have meetings all day. Excelling at this project puts me in a position to get a promotion when we have a new building open next year. And my company is 90% women and supportive of women. I’ll be making sure not to…

Exactly. I live in bumfuck ny, and the city is fine to visit, but I would go crazy if I had to deal w the noise and ppl of the city daily. Ppl who think they’re so great bc they’re “worldly” and live in the city infuriate me. I have a degree and a good job and don’t have to spend 30 minutes to drive five miles or pay…

I just bought a house in ny for next to nothing. NYC always skews the state differently from what really happens upstate.

I had a 2010 Toyota Corolla S that I bought brand new. Transmission shit the bed at 80,000 miles, I got something new, and I swore them off.

I want to be best friends with Leah Remini. I feel like I’d just love her to death.

My bf had to pay up front for his drug test for a government job. They reimbursed him upon a negative result.

I can’t bring myself to do this with my bf. I know he’d like a threesome, but I know I would be too insanely jealous to allow that. I’ve caught him sexting with other women and flipped the fuck out, so I know I’d never enjoy watching him with someone else. Ironically, he says he’d like to watch me w another guy, and…
