Sometimes when I read, "Log in or Sign up," for a second I think it says, "Log in or Shut up."

Look, this company policy isn't bad.

Wherever I work, I always meet some people getting curious of how much the guys next to them earn. It is sad to realize the guys sitting next to them could get more but they never seem to realize that it's an insult they indirectly show their boss that he isn't only stupid but his company's policy is clearly unfair. Please fire the jealous!

It's interesting how one encounters many people's stories when they work in a small shop as I do.
Just a while ago, a 5th grader came here crying because everyone bullies him, both kids and teachers are bad, so he run from school. I tried to calm him down and told him he needs to talk to his "main teacher" (one who is responsible for relationships and management of his class). Eventually be said he was going home. So I called the elementary school immediately and told them what happened.
I know this boy because I taught his sister 2 years ago and they always talk to me when we meet.

I feel for him because I run from school myself when I was first grader because I was so afraid the teacher would yell at me because I forgot my pencil. So I run alone through half of the town to my parents and I was so sweaty that they had to dry my hair with blow drier before my dad took me back to school.
I wonder if the Peter's situation solves or he'll have to go to another school.

There are bad teachers and classmates in my country too but if kids are found to have been maltreated by them, they will surely get fired and/or even jailed.

I guess the main problem in this case are the classmates.

Still wondering what the issue is with this singer adele. She is young, she has plenty of awards, millions and almost every song she sings she seems to be moaning and bitching. What else does she want?

This reminds me of the story told by a woman I used to know: in grade school there was some very upsetting incident between her and her teacher (I don't remember the details) about her having to go to the bathroom during class. She developed such a huge complex about it that she determined she would never have to go to the bathroom again the whole time she was at school, and her whole life and diet became about 'bathroom use management': everything she ate or drank had to be considered with respect to how it might affect her need to use the bathroom during the hours she was at school. She worked at, 1.) ignoring thirst, and, 2.) holding her pee for hours, and this discipline became the center of her life.

That's so sad. Children can be so affected by what adults say. And the adults often have no idea what they caused.

It is a tragedy caused by bad teachers instead.
Do they ever feel sorry for people with mental disorders or those that are suffering from some tragic life events ? I don't think they do.

True! And even adults are also affected by what other adults say.

Do you mean the tax issues? She expects compassion from having to pay taxes, it seems.

LOL I had no idea about that. The only gossip about celebrities I've registered recently is Angela's and Brad's divorce

Someone told me about it when I commented on her complaining. I don't keep up either with Brangelina, Ashtray or Bennifer or whatever other horrible combo.

I love those names :-D
To be honest, I don't really care about this stuff. I don't even know the majority of contemporary celebrities, neither local not global. I only know those that used to be popular 10+ years ago, when I was a teen.

I don't care either, I just know them by exposure through daily life. And I was hanging out at B&N when they were piping in adele. It seems like watching TV alone exposes you to them, want it or not (not).

In a divorce, are there things that are hard to be divided for both ?

Houses. Children. Pets. CD/DVD/book collections. Furniture. Electronics.

That seems to spread itself around quite easily, from what I've seen.

I have sent you only drafts, your ideas if any, either positive or negative about me, work and are appreciated. They are to me precious free consulting services you offered me. Thank you.

I am also looking for a job, and a partner so if you have a good brain and are half respectable i will take you on

I am glad to hear that. Is there a trial period for you to understand real me ? Whatever I say is only words which probably wouldn't convince you at all.

If I played ' go fetch ' with a dog, using a boomerang, I wonder how long it would take for the dog to notice there was something strange going on.

YAY. Go Pepper Mint! The prompts for this year are pretty awesome and I've got so many ideas already. I love it when people are willing to do stuff like this.

Maybe it is not such a good form , when you're competitor says " may the best person win" , to say " Thanks!".

What is that? Edit: Oh, nevermind, I saw the link.

Maybe it is not such a good form , when you're competitor says " may the best person win" , to say " Thanks!".

The correct polite way should be: "Pft. Robert, please, you know I will win."

Strange sign at a Hillary rally: " Love Trumps war". Why would anyone love Trump's war? And why would they be in Hillary's rally? Then I realized there was no apostrophe in 'Trumps'. Still, pretty weird phrasing. How about: " Love Trumps War, but Trump Loves War"?

Good reason to visit Manchester

Archaeologists have uncovered a forgotten 200-year-old pub beneath the city of Manchester, England. And the best part? It still has full, untouched bottles of brandy inside, The Independent reports. Archaeologists discovered the underground pub — once known as the Astley Arms — when they were brought into inspect the site of a future skyscraper. During the excavation, they found pottery belonging to Thomas Evans, who was the landlord of Astley Arms in 1821.

And why would they be in Hillary's rally?

Probably an antiwar statement. Some folks think Hillary is hawkish .

i hope Salon is an acceptable source. (Wikipedia says they're liberal.)

It’s not just Libya, though. Almost every time there was an internal disagreement within the Obama administration about whether to use force, Clinton could be found on the interventionist side. She successfully pushed for an escalation of the war in Afghanistan, and has been open about her desire to intervene further in Syria.

Well I'd never expect that a trilogy of music videos would be one of the sickest stories I'd experience at anyone time.

For those that aren't afraid of gore and great trash metal, check out the videos that come with slayers last album.
