Get home and kids left tv on. I clean up a little, grab something to drink, but the conversations on tv make me go wth is this about. Turns out there is a TV show about online dating and these people who go to different countries and marry these women. Basically a mail order bride type stuff. First man is a complete nerd and this woman is smoking hot, missed most of the second, but the third is the same.

Third guy now announces this woman is Muslim and he is devout Christian. This doesn't sound like it has a high probability of success.

Forgot to mention the first guy only speaks English and the woman speaks Portuguese. They can't even understand each other. Like train wrecks in slow motion.

Gf and I speak English and we have a hard time understanding each other. Speaking different languages seems like a win to me
 
Is that the 90 day fiance one? I was flipping through the channel guide one day and they were doing a follow up on one of the first seasons. It already seemed like a train wreck, how much worse would a follow up be?


Yeah that's it. I just don't know how you can even think of marrying someone if you can't even speak to them. This guy is talking to the womans dad and trying to get his phone to translate what the dad says and then tries to stumble through reading what he wants to say off his phone. I've worked with people who struggled with English and it was difficult, but it wasn't someone that I was living with and joining my life with. I could handle work because usually someone could translate and we could work it out. Can't have a third person living with you to translate every conversation.
 
How long after an interview should I wait to check in again. I sent the customary 24 hour later thank you. I'm assuming I got axed but not officially yet..
 
Depends on the level I suppose, but I probably wouldn’t get my hopes up. Definitely worth following up if it’s a job you really would have liked. Sometimes **** happens in between, like someone taking a vacation or getting sick or something.
Ya I'm thinking no on it.
 
So I was called by my apartment complex right now. My apartment has these walkways for each floor and I am on the bottom floor. The second floor walkway collapsed today (and basically in front of my front door) for some reason and they called to ask if they can shut off my power for a couple days.... All my fridge food is ****** lol. Hopefully it's not too bad.

I would ask super to throw it out. **** will smell badddd
 
.....and I'm back from the wilds of far northeastern Wisconsin. And holy jeebus, did I miss a lot!

First, my pie list:
Lemon chiffon (if you've never had it, you have to try it)
Banana cream
Key lime

We heard about the tornadoes, we were driving up on Thursday afternoon/evening. Sounds like the damage in M'town and Pella was pretty awful.

We lost a real rebel and hellacious writer in Donald Kaul. Still chuckle about his "last time we can vote against Nixon" line.

@CycloneErik, sorry about the swing and a miss. They will never know what a great candidate they shunned.

And all the other stuff - sisters in hot tubs, @cowgirl836 and the (not here yet?) baby, @BCClone getting his life savings drained by family, etc.

Final comment - yes, sharp cheddar cheese with apple pie is awesome. My dad used to do that, I always thought he was a sick puppy until I tried it.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! I sure did!!! Got to see both my brother and sister, plus my aunt and cousin from Texas that I had not seen in 27 years. We had a blast!!

I'd ask the landlord to replace any that you lose.
