My first retail jobs were full time and paid enough for me to rent an apt. by myself. By the time I was unable to continue working at the retail shipping/receiving position I was in, I never knew from week to week how many hours I’d get, only get 40 hours during the holiday season, couldn’t afford the health…

It’s been a very very long time since most retail workers could actually make a living doing those jobs. Maybe people are finally getting tired of being treat like shit and having to scramble to get by.

That would be a great campaign theme for him:

Hmm. Interesting. I remember having to say the pledge in Chicago public schools from the mid 60's to the early 70's. Wonder if I can still sue the Board of Education?

i didn’t meet my father until i was 16...when he decided he needed to get to know me because he was diagnosed with cancer. i sporadically stayed in touch with him for the two years he lived. he requested i be a pallbearer at his funeral. i declined. i also refused the same for my mother. my vision of hell for the two…

i hear you. and i feel so much the same way. i’m sorry i have nothing helpful to offer in this moment. all i can say is...i know.

No doubt Megyn Kelly’s nuanced input helped fuel this educational discussion. She always elevates whatever conversation she participates in. A teachable moment for us all. Thank you, Megyn.

Absolutely experiment with adjustments to the seat and handlebars. If you just can’t seem to get everything right, though, look for a professional bike fitter. It can be a pricey option but if the alternative is riding in pain or giving up completely, hey....

Same bullshit as always. It’s the fascists ginning up the lumpen over a manufactured “issue”. It’s their tried and true formula that unfortunately works over and over again. 

Sure, if this was a lab leak, that should be understood and better safeguards implemented. But what the whole lab leak theory from the far-right seems to be implying that the nefarious Chinese unleashed a possibly engineered virus onto to the rest of the world in the quest for global commie domination. Trump and his…

Won’t someone demand to speak to the manager?!?!

Whoooooooa there! You expect me to believe that Walmart doesn’t actually care about gay people?! Mind boggling!

Wasn’t aware that was what they did. Guess I always assumed there was some Wonkaesque mega-factory churning out the cookies in some top secret locale. The more you know...

Ditto. Struggled with the sugar and carbs addiction my whole life.

You stop that you! :)

Dammit! Too many details to remember.

Thin Mints were always my favorite but the last few years...dunno...they didn’t taste the same? But that could be about my aging taste buds.

People found out about the cookie dough nanobots receiving DNA altering 5G waves from Satanic pedophiles hunkered down in their pizza bunkers.

Save some money and just Porky Pig it (bows to Kate McKinnon)
