Or they'll respect you and remember you positively, next time you go to move up.
Pants and I had beer at Darbys near Target Field this afternoon talking ISU gamewatches with the owner. He treated me to a beer as I was depressed to find my favorite waitress was fired.
I now owe him a beer.
I will give CF some leeway. I know they have a company that controls the advertising of several of the locations. This same area gave me the ToE for awhile. I have noticed some correlation to browsing history. I looked at vehicles to replace the wife’s work minivan (equinoxes are common but actually a decent vehicle) and received ads for vehicles.
The strangest was when I looked at Sears for parts for my craftsman weed trimmer. I got what said sears but it was leather, chains and human ball gags. I did double take on that and pondered if sears actually sold S&M stuff.
I will say I believe CF doesn’t promote, but possibly it is somehow through the outsourced advertising.
Almost hit two guys there today with my car. Would have been ill advised. I got the death look. If there wasn't a cop standing right there I am sure they would have opted to beat me which I am guessing would have been "entertaining" for all of the people waiting at the light rail station. I am too old and not tough enough for "downtown" downtown in 2018.
Kinda my life today too. Unhappy babysleeping now, thankfully. Your puppy is so cute.
Thanks, we think so.
I still havent seen a pic of baby bull.
Definitely depends on the person and situation. I never initially call someone out in a larger group. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned how to tactfully approach things better. Also became a better listener and don’t interrupt as much.
Note to self, probably won't need to buy beers for 2015 next week.
Well I get slim sized men’s pants, blood donation, citrus juicers, and back to school junk lol. I am most boring person ever!
Check your radar, going to be thunderstorming on Target Field soon, say before 9:00.
Currently sitting in the parking garage waiting it out. Thanks for the heads-up!
I was always taught on conference calls you can give light disagreement but if you truly disagree you're supposed to communicate with that person directly and off the call. Fwiw. Not sure if that's true in larger corporate settings, it was true in the non profit world.
Older my wife gets the worse her tables manners get. Her family is like next to just shoving the plate to their faces and mowing down. Son said you can tell where his cousins ate because there will be a ring of food where their plate sat. At the football banquet, BIL got up to talk and had food hanging from his face the whole time. M
I thought I always grew up in a house with a lack of manners. When they eat corn on the cob, get out of the way.

Nothing like pounding on the door at 9:15 and no one there when you check to get the blood pumping.
Do you have tween/teen kids in the neighborhood that would be out pranking? I mean not right but, that would be my first guess.
BC, to be fair it's pretty darn hard to eat corn on the cob neatly, unless you cut it off first but what's the fun of that. But I understand what you mean about being slobs.
Bad uncle story, had a nephew staying with me for a summer and he wouldn't chew with his mouth closed, worked with him daily trying to get him to, and he just wouldn't do it. Finally I told him if you chomp that food with your mouth open I'll shut your jaws for you. Started chewing with his mouth open, I reached across the table and caught him under the chin hard enough to snap his head into the back of the kitchen chair, cured the problem for the rest of the summer.

It’s possible and we thought about that two neighbor boys (maybe middle school aged) that were hiding behind a neighbors van claimed they weren’t doing anything or playing with anyone like that. Said it was someone tall but I am not sure how much I believe them.
