I was going to say something similar. Occasionally, I’m just not feeling it and as a grown-ass man all I want is a grilled cheese and applesauce. I’ll order from the kids menu.

Small talk is a tennis game. Each statement is a volley, to be returned if the game is to continue. Make sure you always end with a question to return the ball over the net. Ask the other person to add another detail to what they said, ask what they think about the statement, ask what they plan on doing next, just ask…

That’s the thing that kills me about the “Prosperity Bible.”  Jesus specifically says to gain everything, you have to loose everything.  Then you get guys like Joel Osteen who has to justify why he needs another Gulfstream & a new Porsche, so he makes up whatever he needs to make his followers feel better.

I went to a Catholic high school and comparative religion was a required course for everyone. We used the catholic bible as the start point, then compared/contrasted modern Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and a few others.  It was pretty controversial for some families.

I made this for breakfast for my kids this morning. As I was describing it to my wife, she made an assortment of retching noises, so she was a no go.

Isn’t a large part of the problem over-saturation? There are thousands of news sites that are all now just a click away. When you talk about papers of record for certain cities, that was true 20 years ago when getting the WSJ or NYT was difficult and the only other option to your local paper. Now, with little…

Are you upset about this?  Let me get you a kleenex.  Make sure to put it in a ziplock when you’re done.

I’ve said it elsewhere and I’ll say it again: the aviation industry could end this on any given Wednesday. A mass sick out on a Sunday/Monday would keep business travelers, vacationers, and, most importantly, FedEx/UPS at home. This will hit every industry right in the bottom line. Once that happens, Apple, Amazon,…

My son said the commercial would have been better with McConaughey.  We didn’t realize it was Cyclops.

My son is a popcorn fiend.  It’s his go to for an after school snack.  We’ve bought him three in the past 6 years as he runs his into the ground.

Isn’t this what the NHL does?  Somebody in New York is watching the game and can call into the guys on the ice to make a call.  I haven’t heard hockey fans screaming bloody murder over horrific non-calls.  Maybe it works.

1. That’s why I pointed out there aren’t enough controller MOS guys & galls running around. Regan was able to supplement from there. We don’t have that option anymore. You probably could get Laguardia, Dulles, O’Hare, & DFW up, but they wouldn’t be able to go into the smaller airports.

Air traffic controllers (and TSA) have the fastest path to end this. If those groups staged a sick out on a Sunday & Monday, it would shut down air travel in the US. The military doesn’t have enough controllers to deploy to do the job. Think of all the vacationers stuck either not getting home or away. Business…

I agree using it to weed out people for protected reasons such as religion or sexual orientation would be bad. But would you want someone to post how much they love their job at XYZ Company with the next post about all the meth they do or how exactly a racial group is sub-human?  It’s like any tool, it can be used for…

They were supposed to be meeting their buses there.  The adults should have just rounded everyone up and walked away until they saw the buses.  If they got the kids out of there, we would have never heard about this.

I’ve said it on other posts, but if you don’t do a social media search on prospective employees in today’s day and age; you’re a fool.  In ~5 years, everyone will have forgotten about this but the internet never forgets.  I don’t know what kind of connections his family has, but if I saw something like this in an…

My overriding memory of Chicken a la king is from MREs. Break up some crackers into the main meal packet, add a dash of pepper and most of the Tobasco, and viola - a meal fit for pulling guard duty in the rain. If you’re lucky you got a gorilla bar to chase it.

I worked for a Fortune 50 company for ~a decade. I would travel 3-4 months a year, a week at a time, with half that being international. I’m married with three offspring. Your points are all dead nuts on. I was able to finance a couple vacations on points which didn’t make up for the hassle. The other issues was the…

No, there’s not a database. But when you’re hiring, you do a social media search for your perspective new employee. If this picture comes up for this kid’s name in 10 years, there are going to be people who will second guess the hire. I’ve turned away people who post about the amount of partying/ drugs they do as I…

Promposals fall into this category as well. We’ve had 2 through high school; 1 boy, 1 girl.  Our iron clad rule was don’t.  It makes it all about you, the proposer, rather than you, the couple.
