“He’s a flawed man, but those flaws only added a new, sepia-tinged sheen to the triumph.”

I have a friend who never tips more than 10%. When she has a coupon (yep a fucking coupon or local discount) she tips 10% on the discounted amount. She always complains about the food while she eats it, then raves about the food when she leaves.

But you don’t aim at the ships, you aim at/distract them while you target whatever you’re trying to destroy.

I’m acquainted with a woman who was a waiter at a restaurant in NYC. Restaurants HATED when Trump came in. He always came with an entourage. He grabbed and made crude comments to women. Told her that if she got a “little bigger up there” he could make her famous because she had a “pretty good face.”

Why is this flagged?

Here’s a huge problem: holier than thou Democrats who refuse to meet with constituents who disagree with them on an issue or who are not deemed “progressive enough.” Like Bernie Bros were/are with Hillary Clinton.

I wonder if anyone is tracking the genetics of these dogs? I’m sure there are some mutations that can’t be good over time.

Average actual income for drivers after expenses is about $3/hour.

Congratulations! You’ve invented public transit.

In a fit of needing baseball, I went to the A’s opening day. I got cheap seats, $25, brought a sandwich, filled my water bottle. I was surrounded by families who brought and shared their own food and made the day a ballpark picnic. They knew all the players, danced during the mid-inning music, mostly ignored or…

Tips collected by card are reported to the IRS. So those vendors, who only made about $40,000/year are now being taxed on that income. Even if they get it back in a refund, that’s money they can’t use during the year.

The privileged complaining about using animals for clothes and food. I guess PETA is perfectly happy using fossil fuel based substitutes that are not biodegradable, so create piles of toxic waste. Those “pleather” shoes and bags are vinyl; that’s soft plastic. Synthetic fabrics require using a ton of toxic chemicals…

Barking is communication. Dogs shouldn’t be barking when the neighbor sits outside in their own yard, that’s a sign of poor training. Also, in cities or where people pass by a lot, dogs that bark at everyone are in a perpetual state of anxiety not just guarding territory or the pack. That’s unhealthy for both dogs and…

I was on the road for 15 years.

According to the IRS, it’s something called allocated tips which are “amounts (the employer) must assign to tipped employees if the total reported tips in a payroll period are less than 8% of your business’ gross sales.” In other words, if the employee doesn’t report tips of at least 8%, the employer must report that…

I love Idris Elba. You will have to spatula me off the screen when he’s James Bond.

Housekeeping is not a personal maid service. The job is to clean the hotel room, not clean up your mess. That’s an important distinction.

Most of us - especially women - speak in a higher pitch than natural. Stress and social expectation have a lot to do with how we sound. Also most of us are surprisingly bad at breathing. Shallow breathing makes for higher pitched voices because we run out of air and unconsciously panic.

I was thrown out of the close circle of friends when I asked after their hair colr brand, coloring technique, & stylist.

“A couple thousand men”??! Abuse is much more common that that.
