The Ravens have released him from his contract: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/09/spo…

No problem. Yes, Visa and others who back debit cards want you to run it as credit, but there are a lot of businesses that have started giving discounts to customers who use and run their debit cards as debit. The whole structure of fees, credit vs. debit, is going to hav to be revisited soon, as many parts of the…

Thank you, I am aware of the differences between how a debit transaction and a credit transaction are processed on the bank/credit issuers end of things. You seem to be missing the point I was making, as well.

It's also a possible interpretation that they had actually already paid for their food. Someone else on this thread posted a photo from the Yelp account of the restaurant. It looks like a small town pizza joint, and I don't know about you, but my local pizza joint requires that you order at the counter, PAY, then sit…

My husband has to take a CPR and defibrillator course to get his personal training certification. He wants me to go with him and get mine, and I didn't really want to, but you know.....it's a pretty good thing to know.

The article states that the server brought them their food in to-go containers and asked them to leave. This means that they hadn't actually received any services prior to her changing the diaper. If she mentioned to them: "hey, you don't provide a changing table in your bathroom, I need to take everyone to my car so…

"She does something stupid and kills someone important out of panic..."

Yeah, Gemma Teller's presence on this panel means there should have been a parenthetical subtitle. Women Who Kick Ass (and Gruesomely Murder the Mother of Their Grandchildren with a Carving Fork). I have mostly checked out of SOA at this point, but am forced to soldier on because my husband likes it. I will riot if…

Almost every single article I have seen that discusses the album Ultraviolence, except this one perhaps, acknowledges the origin of this phrase. Lana Del Rey is not even close to being the first artist to drop this line in a song in some form, and she has never stated that she came up with it herself. The author of…

Suggesting she wrote this lyric is an inference made by the author of this post who apparently isn't familiar with the Crystals' song. I have read other articles reviewing her new album, and nearly all of them mention that she intentionally used that line and acknowledged its origin.

Yeah, I used to be a cocktail waitress many moons ago, and I never hesitated to have someone thrown out of the bar if they touched me inappropriately or said something beyond the pale like that. That these douchebags were allowed to stay after saying something like that AND touching the waitress…

My husband and I are very lazy people, so we order chinese or pizza delivery at least once week. The delivery dudes know us, and I always tip at least 5 bucks. I am convinced that they come to our apartment first, because they get there so fast and the food is too hot to eat. It pays to be considerate to service…

The smartest person I have ever known can't spell to save his life. The brain works in mysterious ways.

I have the 2012 Fit Sport, so I don't plan to upgrade my vehicle any time in the near future. However, I recently heard about the Honda HR-V, have you? It is supposed to be somewhere between the Fit and the CR-V, size and spec-wise, and is going to be released later this year, I believe. My interest is peaked, because…

I don't recall Maude showing Caliban a single kindness in front of another character. All of their interactions were in private. I think Vincent saw an abused animal when he looked at Caliban and, sexist or no, made a wrong assumption that came from a kind place.

Would it be a knee-jerk assumption when Vincent was witness, in this same episode, to another actor being cruel to Caliban and blowing something he did out of proportion because of dislike and ignorance? Like I said, I want to hope that there were altruistic motives behind what Vincent said because he's been such a…

Proteus was beginning to recall his past life when Caliban snuffed him out prematurely, so I foresee a lot of drama with Wolfman, Frankenstein, Caliban, and Brona next season.

I am making an inference about an interaction that was not shown to the audience, but my guess was that Vincent assumed that Caliban hadn't done specifically what Maude accused him of, that Maude was being cruel to him like everyone else had been and was making a false or exaggerated accusation because she was afraid…

I'm glad someone else noticed that, too….when Victor told Caliban that he couldn't possibly forgive him for what he did to Van Helsing, I just thought to myself….."well, at least he snapped his neck! He tore poor Proteus in half!"

Daughters are a handful, but I completely agree with you......if the OP's mother had to keep in top physical condition to protect herself against her own daughter......there is something drastically freaking wrong in that situation. I love my mother and was respectfully intimidated by her until I was grown and out of…
