People ignoring leash laws makes me think maybe Rick Perry is on to something with carrying a laser scoped pistol for his morning jog.

TheBeardieInMe commented on SL Letter of the Day: Employee Relations.
I've worked with this girl, or one just like her.
She had been with the company for more than four years when I left, and had only stayed that long because they could not fire her. She had fucked just about every middle manager the place had, and some upper management (we had one female manager in a store with ten management positions, the rest of the stores in the city had none). She managed to snag most of them just before or right after they got promoted, so the rest of us got to deal with all the backlash for a good six months before they could do anything. It was to the point where they just transferred all the managers around when people started complaining about what she was getting away with, and she just stayed in the same position, getting raises once or twice a year.
Ask around. If this is your situation, go ahead and fuck her. I imagine everyone else has.

They are not birds. They are bats. There's a bunch of bats from Mexico that live under the bridges in Austin, which is where the film was filmed. Doesn't make the movie any better, but bats are cooler than birds.

I'll throw in my dog attack stories that are totally unrelated as well.
I've been attacked by dogs, twice. Once a full blood German Shepard and once a part lab, part german shepard. I still have a scar on my face from one, and that was 15 years ago.
And I have a cousin who was attacked by her family pet... A lab. She's two, and her scar is worse than mine.
Actually, of all the people I have ever known who have actually been attacked by dogs, it's never, ever been a pitbull.... just sayin'.

I still cry when I think about what happened to you. And I am so, so sorry that you had to live through that. And I am so amazed at your ability to continue to live even after all that happened to you. Your story has truly touched my heart and changed some part of me. I will never forget you or Teresa though I will never know either of you.
May the rest of your life be full of happiness and peace.

I agree with your argument. The unfortunate thing is, that you really don't own your body, at least not in this country. You can't sell your body fluids (except sperm maybe, but I think that's still labeled as a "donation" like plasma) or body parts. There are things that you can't put in your body... and so, so much more...
But, I'm rambling. Everyone knows there is a lot of wrongness in this country. This column was excellent though. Thank you!

The panties definitely make the hot guys even hotter. I wish the whole site was composed of nothing but the main pages... sooo hot...

Be prepared for her to pull that "If you leave me, I'll kill myself" bullshit... It seems right up her alley.

I've always been more of a fan of 24/7 breakfast diners for my work. There's a Denny's by me that has free wifi, and I love it, even if I don't love the food. I can't say the servers weren't a little hesitant at first, and I can't blame them, but I tip well, and they have no problem with me now.
