Always ask for a fresh bowl because people in bars are notorious for not washing their hands after making #1 or #2. And that dirty hand almost always makes its way into a bowl of free bar munchies. Save yourself an oral/fecal borne illness and get a new bowl.
Also, thanks for remembering to tell people to tip at the cheap food places :)
Yes the Catholic church has it's issues just like the rest of the world, it has its bigots, child molesters, priests don't hold to their vows. But just like the rest of the world the sin will result in it's own judgment. Seek true love, (God) instead of looking for the evil in this world. Look for those who love. True love, meaning people who seek to do and help others because of love and to help all because they have Jesus in their heart. Evil is easy, Love is work but feeds the soul.
The thing that really pisses me off? I would love to ride a bike for transportation, instead of relying on cars and our as-noted shitty, shitty Metro busses. Only I'm ACTUALLY DISABLED, unlike little miss disabled-by-"chronic pain disorder" from running full tilt into a PARKED CAR.
Auigh. I know times are tough, guys, but please remember- it's not just the insurance company you screw over if you pull a stunt like this. If some asshole plows into you, by all means, take them to the cleaners. But please, please, PLEASE don't just run into somebody for the money. Don't be a cock to a stranger.
;) (specifically winkie face)
And be prepared to provide the required paperwork related to ALL your arrests, regardless of the final adjudicated disposition of each arrest.
WARNING about the Charles River Clinical Services Northwest in Tacoma: DO NOT participate in the clinical studies there!
In the last two years I completed successfully four studies at that research center. When the last study officially ended I tried respectfully to contact by the telephone a female staff-member of that center to ask her gently if she was interested in a personal relationship with me. I liked her immensely; she was exceptionally friendly to me. I enjoyed numerous, congenial interactions with her (regretfully, she proved later to be a very mean-spirited woman).
In response to my attempts (three in total) the center's worker – an affirmative action, senior supervisor – treated me with a shocking hostility – like a rape-suspect. She punished me with a month and a half suspension in study-participation illegibility. I thought I did not deserve that punishment so in order to undo it I contacted the Alpha Independent Review Board – an ethics organization – for intercession. I requested that they ask Charles River Northwest to lift the suspension and that they bring up the hostile treatment of mine to the attention of the center's management. Instead of fulfilling my wishes the supervisor barred me from the studies permanently! That's right – the center's management retaliated against me in such a blatantly unethical way for my enlisting help of an ETHICS organization!
I was enraged and indignant by the supervisor implying that the safety of the female staff member I wanted to make contact to was threatened by me. It was totally an unjustifiable, insulting, slanderous, preposterous lie. Motivated by spreading of that lie by the supervisor I sent emails to three representatives of the center asking them to rescind the supervisor permanent bar. I described chronologically all events preceding my attempts to contact the female staff-member.
I didn’t receive reply from them. Out of frustration of not getting feedback from the management I sent an email to the coordinator of the study involved asking her to recommend me a proper individual in the management of the center, who I could address my appeal to. She replied that she forwarded my “concerns” to proper individuals and that I would soon receive reply from them.
I did finally receive the reply – from the legal department of the Charles River Laboratories International, Inc.!
The reply was: Cease and desist order. They asked me to not communicate anymore in any way with the Charles River Clinical Services Northwest staff, under the threat of filing a restraining order against me with the Tacoma police!!!
That’s my chronicle of my involvement with the Charles River Clinical Services Northwest in Tacoma.
As you could make it out from my account, what happened to me was a malicious, brutal, regardless treatment by the Charles River Northwest management in response to my innocent attempts to make a contact with a staff-member for personal reasons.
By having reacted to me in such a thoroughly-inexcusable – bordering-on-psychopathic – way, the center's management demonstrated a complete disregard for the most fundamental humanity of the clinical-study participant. Their actions against me were extremely unethical; they made a mockery of their center’s stated, humanistic objectives.
DO NOT BE THE NEXT ONE TO BE BRUTALIZED BY THE CHARLES RIVER CLINICAL SERVICES NORTHWEST MANAGEMENT.
Do not participate in the clinical studies at that center!

some free juice if you still have any teeth left after getting smacked upside the head by a ton of steel. And the ambulance ride ain't cheap, either-just remember there are no free ambulance rides! But, then again, while you're on the mend and hanging out at the library, you might get some cutie to sign your cast. Angle for a sympathy fuck, you'll feel much better afterward. That is if the car didn't break your "bone" when it hit you upside the "head."
