It gets what Stannis is looking for: a united North, and you only get that with a Stark. Sansa being married to Tyrion and wanted by the Queen is surely a problem, but I'm sure that Littlefinger already has a plan on how to work that out.

I did read it, and I honestly don't even know what your point is, your responses don't seem to have anything to do with what I'm trying to get across here. Nothing I am saying has anything to do with R + L. It has to do with Rhaegar and who he might have been as a ruler.

I would never expect someone to remember me, let alone what I order, that's so beyond entitled. Conversely, I always get really excited when one of the people who work at a nearby Subway remember that I like lots of jalapenos without me asking. It makes me feel special.

I've never been charged for extra veggies and I get an obscene amount of jalapenos on my subs. However, my husband's favorite sub is the Buffalo Chicken and some franchises will let you add extra buffalo sauce for free, some will charge you, and some will just plain not let you have any extra, paid or not. It's…

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have married my husband in the first place if he was someone who treats service professionals that way. Don't marry assholes, don't procreate with assholes, let their kind die off.

Was the festival you were volunteering at Bonnaroo? I only ask because of the Ben and Jerry's, my husband and I went VIP last year and each ate our weight in free Cherry Garcia. I volunteer at a local brewery every once in a while, pouring beers or whatever they need help with and it never ceases to amaze me how rude…

Hence why I threw in presumably.

Not necessarily. Rhaegar was still a married man who ran off with his sister, even if she did go along willingly. I'm speaking more about fitness as a leader than content of character. 15 years in, I imagine an alternative to Robert and his son Joffrey was looking appealing.

Have you read A Dance with Dragons? When they burn Mance in that book, it isn't really Mance. It's another wildling, Rattleshirt, with a glamour applied by Melisandre to make him look like Mance. So yeah, there is a possibility that Mance isn't actually dead, because they didn't actually burn Mance, but as you can…

I discount nothing, but I think Ned's greater connection to protecting Dany is probably based on a couple of things: his overarching morality and, I am just guessing, maybe he thought that there being an alternative to Robert and his incest kids wouldn't be such a bad thing. I think Ned, over the years, realized what…

The whole time I thought, "yep, that's where Joffrey gets it, and she isn't even a product of incest (presumably)!"

SPOILERS - I think Mance is really dead. Which sucks, because I love Ciaran Hinds and he was so underused in this character. Regarding major character deaths, GRRM says people are going to be angry at how many characters die this season, and that's another reason I think Mance is really dead. I think the cliffhanger…

Her character always seems to play things for the melodrama and I just chalked that statement up to who she is, rather than there being something beyond Don's womanizing, etc. that particularly destroyed their family.

My husband and I just recently shared with each other what our Supermarket Sweep strategy would have been. It's all about them diapers and hams.

I think Morgan's cold open, in which he disabled, but did not kill, the two Wolves, will come back into play next season and prove Rick's stance on not allowing dangerous people to live.

It's not legal, not in Texas, or any other state in the US.

Texas absolutely has a workers' compensation program - I work in HR in Texas, so I am pretty familiar with labor laws, both federal and state. If your employer did not carry workers' compensation insurance, or refuses to make a claim to their insurance when you report a work-related injury, there is state-funded…

My worst boss story involved a popular vitamin store. I was hired at 18, the summer before I started college. After about a year, the manager, who was a really nice lady that I enjoyed working for, decided to move to California to help out her sick sister and would be transferring to a location closer to her new home.…

I attended an HR conference last year and they kept expounding on the same basic concept: the person with the best documentation wins. Almost always. Document, document, document.

I always tip $5.....sometimes this is right about 20%, but sometimes it is nearly 40% depending on how much food my husband and I are ordering. I bump it to $10 if the weather is bad.
