Van Damme is good, but the ballerina was gutsier! And they never credit the drivers enough for their skill - even the hamster got more praise, lol.

7 bucks for a card?! Only way I'd pay that is for a "Happy Stay Home In Your Pajamas Day" card, lol. :o

The skill set hasn't changed - the economy has changed. We are becoming a retail/service economy, which offers very low wages, compared to the industrial economy we were used to being - which paid decent wages. [The last big change in the economy was agrarian to manufacturing, in which people...

'Job creators' want low taxes [after being given incentives & subsidies] and cheap labor. When their demands are met, governments are left without enough revenue to provide and maintain the infrastructure and services that are essential, and the workers can't afford to maintain even a bare...

Wasn't 'verification' the one condition that Republicans managed to get attached to the ACA with their shutdown tactics? Dave: would appreciate a link to that local film, please. If I ever sign up, I might need some good advice on getting the best plan for less money, lol. ;)

For the employees, it goes with the territory. Doctors, nurses, police, firefighters, and lots of others have learned to cope with the need to be at work, seeing it as a chance to be creative with 'tradition'. It can even be a good thing! For the shoppers: anything that can reduce the insanity...

Easy: contemplate your life without a paycheck. :o It kept me punching the time clock [even at 0430!] for 8 years, when I hated every single minute of it. And I'd still be there, if they hadn't closed the doors. A really bad day expediting still beats a really good day [snort] in the factory...

Wiper Weather: allows you to put in start & end points, get driving conditions along the route you intend to drive. Very helpful!

That has been a requirement for a very long time. In practice, it just doesn't work. First: there have to be jobs for them to do. Second: the single mothers need child care - or should they just leave kids home alone? Third: Many potential jobs are located in suburban 'industrial parks', but...

The flaw in that argument is that it's based on the premise that jobs which can support people are available, as was the case decades ago. [I used to be able to get jobs I wasn't really qualified for, because I learn quick - these days, I can't get jobs I am qualified for, because the...

When I started driving this truck, I asked the fleet owner to get an EZ Pass, because paying cash created some pretty scary moments for me: trying to 1: put the money away, 2: put the receipt away, 3: close the window to stop the rain/snow coming in, 4: check ahead to see which lane I should be...

Publix may be doing you a good service, but then again, they may not be - have you checked what the cost of both the original script & antibiotics would be elsewhere? It's probably less at Publix, but you can never be sure.... PS: If you wander around picking up a few groceries [not the free...

Underdog: I hope you find a way to take care of your family without having to leave them for extended periods, because expediting isn't your best option at this point in your life. Maybe you'll return to it some day - lots of others have. Right now, those 'babies' need you at home, so I think...

Who says they're not? It often takes a long time to investigate, getting enough documented info to make the charges stick, so it would be surprising to hear anything on that end very soon. The lawsuits, OTOH, have already begun. [And I hope they defendants have to pay through the...er, nose.]
