Well, if it clears anything up, I don't think adults working full time in China to make our shit should live in poverty either. I never said raising the minimum wage was a panacea, but it's a clear first step.
Here's an interesting story of a mall in California that is divided between two counties - one that raised minimum wage and one that did not:
Boy, that's interesting, Rob. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I found it interesting how The Gap (large corporation) dealt with it. I'm not sure if Banana Republic across the way helped influence their decision as it is the same parent company.
The small business owner (although is six stores a small business owner?) took the attitude I expected most to do. The manager interviewed had some interesting thoughts on his new work pool option. And although it should not have the ambivance of employees on the higher paid side stung.
I NEED HELP. Winning tickets to a small Foo Fighter gig in two weeks. The only way to go is to win them. There's some stupid caption contest on this facebook page to get the most likes:
So there's this HAWK on my balcony that's been stopping by for an hour or two here and there the last few weeks It's not a baby nor a full sized adult It's making my balcony its battleground with its cries of terror

cursedlono and Mike D - rumor is you guys have used float tanks (I know you have Lono). Is the experience worth a lot of money and using an entire vacation for?

My first instinct is to say absolutely!! I guess it depends how much they charge and what your vacation time is worth to you and all that though. I was a little skeptical going into my first float but it was an amazing experience. I can tell you it would be hard for me to put a price on it, the physical or mental benefits. I have a degenerating disc disease and a couple herniated discs and that first float did more for me than the months of physical therapy or any medications ever did. I have been getting regular massages for several years now and I am debating whether to give that up for a float membership, if it wasn't for the cost difference I would have already done that. I am sure the experience is different for everyone, but the best way I can sup it up is it's a great way to press a mental reset button of sorts. I could go on and on for a while about this, if you (or anyone else reading) want to know more or have questions, feel free to send me a PM. Lono has been quite a few times more than I have and I believe used to travel from KY to Chicago for them.

Thanks for the response. It's something I've wanted to do for some years now; my only hesitation is that the only float center in Thailand is on an island, and my vacation is in the middle of rainy/monsoon season. So basically I'll be using my vacation (and savings) to go to an expensive island when there is a good chance it'll be raining most every day.

I need lessons on how to be more direct. Apparently my "no, thank you, I'm not ready to date anyone etc etc" sounds like "hey buddy, why don't ya try a lil' harder, maybe send some flowers my way and try to talk me into going to Hawaii". Ugh.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

If you've been politely direct for 3 turndowns, I say it's time to go on and stop caring about hurting that persons feelings. 'Cause if they're asking over and over and over, they're not really respecting you.

Lesson one. Repeat after me. "I've told you no thank you. You won't respect that, so fuck off."
20 years ago today I invited a boy, a longtime friend, to Clemson's Thursday FCA gathering. We went back to my dorm room afterwards & hung out until 2am. Still hanging out with him, every single day. B_Rad & I have now been together over half our lives. Craziness!
I have to get a pee sample from my cat since he wouldn't go at the vet's. They gave me these non-absorbent pellets to put in an empty litterbox, so that Rumi could pee and still have something to scratch at and cover it up with. Well, he doesn't like the pellets, and chose my pants instead. I'm okay with that, because I wouldn't appreciate someone suddenly removing my toilet either. However, this means now I have to wait for him to use the box and then catch the sample mid-stream. I have thus far been unsuccessful. I will keep you all updated.

Literally LOLing over here of the visual of your task. Not jealous. Good luck!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

A temporary restraining order can also be an effective way of getting that message across. That's what Uma Thurman did and I haven't been within 1000 yards of her or her home ever since.

Pretty sure I caught two kids watching porn on a phone. They were sitting on the steps. They heard me and tried to either pause it or turn the volume down. They were giggling and trying not to look at me. They wouldn't move from the steps, so I literally hugged the wall trying to get past them.

We had to do this sometimes when one of the dogs got diabetes. As a way to check the levels in her urine or some junk. It's not fun and it feels weird following around your pet and then getting close while they do that. Very weird.
