Collards are truly amazing. I kind of prefer the taste of mustard greens, but collards are great for cooking southern-style because their leaves are sturdier. Grits are also amazing, but only if they have cheese. It’s cheese grits or nothing.

True speak, I’ve never has collard greens! I’m from Canada but I tried grits for the first time. What. Have. I. Been. Missing. So I am on a quest to find authentic collard greens. They sound great. As are grits!

Most places I’ve worked either fired you for your first no-show or started looking for reasons to fire you, unless you’d been there for five years or something. This may be regional—the place I live now has much higher expectations for “work ethic” than, say, when I lived on the west coast and there was more leeway.

Sometimes I’ll order a pizza when it snows hard in ND. The delivery person always drives an suv, delivers on time and gets a 15-20% cash tip. If I don’t want to tip, I’ll carry it out of the pizza place myself.

My shifts are 9 hours salleried. I don’t have to take a lunch break, but then I am at the office 9 hours working. Oh, and I am on call 24/7 via company cell. So fuck it, I have it, I use it.

I HATE THAT. I’d rather take an unpaid 30 and leave earlier.

Wait, wait, wait...

I’m saying standard is 8 hours long. 8-5 with 1 hour for lunch.

My hours: 8-5 mandatory with an hour lunch. Paid for 40, not 45 hours. You bet your ass I took my full hour of lunch every day. Otherwise I'd be working for free. No option to leave early. I think this is pretty standard unfortunately.

I’m glad it gave you an AHA moment, although obviously I wish your ex hadn’t abused you! Abuse just doesn’t always look like you expect it will. I think that goes for my kind of situation and also definitely for yours. Men can and are abused all the time, in same sex or opposite sex relationships.

No, he deserved an Oscar for both “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” and “The Aviator”. If (*coughs*when*coughs*) he wins for the Revenant, I’ll treat this like I treated Denzel Washington’s win for “Training Day”... I’ll pretend he won for one of his better performances (in Denzel’s case, “Malcolm X”).

Team bird represent though.

Apparently my attempt to save Ken Yadiggit has resulted in nothing but massacre. I’d say I’m sorry, but...

Consider yourself spared.

It’s like now we aren’t going to put a human tshirt on a dog the normal way? We have to make our OWN brand of dog tshirt to fit insane 4 legged dog pants?? That go from the neck to the tail? It’s like no..,you know what? I won’t stand for this. America shouldn’t stand for this. Everyone stop talking about refugees and

I TAKE THAT BACK

THE REAL QUESTION IS

Why does Goofy, a dog, can wear pants....why does Pluto, also a dog, not?

Where are Donald’s pants?

Just what are they trying to pull here, anyways?!

They sell SO MUCH MORE than cheesecake. In fact, they have one of the biggest menus I have ever seen.
