In my particular case, it is called “working parent”

This is an excellent way for both to become suddenly relevant.

I buy it for my kids because they are on the spectrum and McDonald’s French fries are literally 1 of 7 foods one of them will eat. I would eat it, because I love it, but I have celiac and can’t.

I saw a white cyber truck today (a first for me). It even more hideous than the silver and black ones.

Touche!

Because there are more important topics to cover, such as the fascist leanings of the other key candidate.

My mom has vitiligo and this doesn’t seem like it offensive, since it is part of a larger costume. Probably ok at a costume party with close friends or in a play.

Lines can be long, polls have limited hours (often conflicting with work hours), a person may need a ride to the polling location, etc. Some states have stupid rules like you can’t give people in line to vote food or water, which makes standing in line for hours more challenging.

I think the tax (including what is taxed and number of brackets) is state dependent. But generally speaking the idea is to not penalize people for buying necessities. But you are right, it is super confusing especially if not noted on the receipt. Check out Washington state’s rules if you want your brain to hurt: https://dor.wa.gov/education/industry-guides/restaurants-and-retailers-prepared-food/retail-sales-tax#:~:text=Sales of prepared food,food from retail sales tax.

I wondered about this as a tactic. Like doesn’t a pager really limit the age group / demographic you can target?

I vaguely recall a few years back there was a company who was digging a hole… Do you know if that was CAH?

Edit: it was, in fact, CAH who dug a giant hole: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/27/503502142/people-donated-nearly-100-000-to-dig-a-big-pointless-hole-in-the-ground

I feel like people just haven’t tried hard enough with the boats. 😉

What if how she lives is the way middle class should be? Like, we want to create a system where most people live this way (or have the option to).

Fine, but it is just weird they didn’t have a notification in their restaurant regarding allergens and aren’t just paying him the requested settlement - like this is the strangest, most expensive path they could have taken.

Don’t they have notifications in their restaurants warning people about allergens? Also, it is cheaper to pay the guy the $50k he wants so long as he signs a doc that says Disney is not at fault. This is so strange (and terrible).

Mom here. Depends on the situation. My dog once got off leash while I was pushing my kid in a stroller. She wouldn’t come near the stroller. A man watched the stroller while I got the dog. But I wasn’t far from my kid (10 feet, maybe) and the park was full of people. I likely wouldn’t accept help if my kid was just misbehaving.

I think I might be the only person born in the early 80s that didn’t play that game. I missed out on a lot. 😕

Excited to see Walla Walla famous for something more than an onion and a penitentiary.

There are some places that have a crazy office politics environment (2007 Microsoft, I’m looking at you). If that is the case, I would just change jobs.

However, if you just have annoying coworkers who are off topic, I would just steer the conversation back to work items (“oh, before I forget, can you tell me about [work related item]?”), then leave the conversation. Other tactics that work for me: look really awkward during personal conversation, never ask how someone is doing, wear headphones.

Someone once told me it’s important to care, but not that much. This has also helped me.

Beat of luck to you!!
