This terrifies me. Kindred was my entry to Octavia E. Butler’s works and I’m just not sure it’s going to translate to any screen successfully. Ah, well, we can only hope...

Can we please add their then-uncredited appearance on Father MC’s “Treat Them Like They Want To Be Treated”? Thank you. 

Nissan, worst hands down in my experience. Never again. From the sales guy hitting on me in front of my spousal unit to selling my promised vehicle right out from under me the very morning of transfer, it was hell. Did I mentioned I received threatening calls from the dealership after I submitted my post-experience…

Many years ago, my work literally saved this man’s career. It’s a shame to literally see it go down in flames. smh

My old guy is a lot like me, thinks he can do more than he can or should. So I resolved to make sure I could scoop his 80+ pound ass up should he ever poop out. So far, so good as in a) he hasn’t pooped out yet and b) I can still carry him. :)

They’ve already rolled this out in airports, at least in the swarming mass of Hartsfield Int’l. The line was entirely too long to explore tho, so I went with a local made-to-order spot instead and munched while I watched travelers getting more and more nervous with the wait.

The watermelon Tic-Tac gum is everything. 

The last time I worked with a dealership has soured me on ever doing it again. The crowning touch was that the salesman actually hit on me...in front of my husband. When I responded to the after sales feedback request from the company, not only did they respond, they aggressively informed me that my poor experience…

I have used examples of her unique technique often over the years as I teach burgeoning voices. I am verklempt. 

It was only two black people. According to this image from the NYT article, Ellis is a pink person.

Just this.

EXACTLY. Of all the pieces I’ve read about it since last night, *this* is the first one that tied it to Serena. Nice job, y’all...not.

Incredibly helpful, thanks for saving me a whole buttload of time noodling around a lot of this on my own (even though I was already halfway there)!

My Note 10 arrived yesterday and I am absolutely pleased to note that it no longer does that. Agree that it was annoying af.

Agreed. I stuck with it starting with the Note 4 and my 8 zipped like wildfire all the way to the end which was yesterday when my Note 10 arrived.

Dammit, I did not have the luxury of that kind of time, seeing as how my 10 year old tC got t-boned and totaled. There wasn’t a NISMO within hundreds of miles of me. *weeps*

Same. Except now I'm going to have to completely leave this class of vehicle because a) they are almost ALL CVT and b) with my Juke I have learned that I HATE CVT. *sigh*

This entire thread gets all the stars. I’m snickersnorting endlessly at my desk. Thank you.

I was incredibly bummed to discover when I moved from one state that did this to one that didn’t, all because of the usual “well, what do WE get out of this?” from the more moneyed counties. As a librarian, I have given my local system the finger. Bah. 

Oh, god, I remember the oven-mitt-that-was-not-an-oven-mitt debacle! Back then, Loot Crate was just about the only thing that could make the spousal unit smile, but when that stopped, so did our subscription.
