I drove a 2018 (?) basest base-y model possible during a test drive once. It was a weird test drive because I had to basically stand in front of an employee in a nearly empty dealership for a solid 10 minutes before someone acknowledged me, then they just handed me the keys to a Soul out front and told me to give it a…

Agreed! She just seems like a super nice person.

I’m 95% sure this was the plot of a Hallmark movie my mom and I got drunk to a few Christmases ago...

Presumably she’s read the reports of why he was fired at Pixar, same as everyone else: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/john-lasseters-pattern-alleged-misconduct-detailed-by-disney-pixar-insiders-1059594

I get what this advice is saying, but the thing to remember is that it just wants you to consider logistics. Sometimes “live close, drive less” isn’t always cheapest:

And whether or not Jen was pregnant.

Gotcha. Well, then i guess it comes back to “reliably unforgettable” as the main criteria...

I think he was just trying to say he didn’t want a flashy luxury vehicle? It’s confusing to me too. I work in a client-facing industry and I often go to people’s houses for meetings. When I bought my car, yea, it was in the back of my head that clients were going to see it, but only insofar as I didn’t want a total…

Exactly, the dispatcher was probably trying to figure out if they were sending EMTs for a psych visit or an ER visit or if they really needed animal control. It’s got to be a weird call to try to parse, especially since there’s not a lot of overlap between specialties there!

To be fair-if anyone in my life called me and said they found a well-fed tiger in a suburban garage, I’d at least gently question if drugs were involved. I would imagine dispatch was probably going along with the caller saying they were high on pot but probably figured if they were hallucinating a tiger something much…

Salt in all forms and all colors is delicious and wonderful and should put liberally on all foods. 

yea HBO wasn’t afraid of Scientology lawyers-something tells me the Jackson estate doesn’t scare them either. 

True, as I said I grew up Reform so I didn’t want to make a mistake in referencing the other branches.

Good point! I grew up Reform, so while I knew the Conservative movement has become more LGBT friendly, I didn’t know enough to comment or include them-didn’t want to stick my foot in my mouth! 

I can’t speak to protestants. But the overarching Reform Judaism org is 100% LGBT friendly, so you’d be very unlikely to find a Reform synagogue that wasn’t gay friendly. It’s not as corporate as Catholics but all Reform rabbis are trained and taught under the URJ rules which explicitly welcome/support/champion LGBT…

I would check with an attorney. I’m in NJ and we opted for the adoption even though I am on my son’s birth certificate. We did it as a “belt and suspenders” type thing. Probably good that we did since his mom and I ended up splitting up (note that in NJ the adoption did not matter, what mattered is that we were both…

Right. In which case a phone number STILL doesn’t help. I would get it if they discreetly tried to place the sign in/near payphone areas, but payphones don’t exist, so...are they hoping someone will tap on the stall and ask to borrow the neighbor’s cell phone like a square of toilet paper?

I think if it gets worry-betes then you just need to get it on a regimen of worry-insulin.

Ooh thanks! All queued up to listen on my way home!

So it’s kind of like the phone numbers in the Las Vegas airport that tell you to call them if you’re a victim of human trafficking? Even though chances are, if you’re trying to escape trafficking in an airport, you’re either not alone or you don’t have a goddamn phone handy.
