September Board Member Decanting, Our Itty Bitty Ranting

Closest thing to ‘in the grass’ their genetic memory allows. :smiley:

Hugs to you, purplehorseshoe.

OK, just because it’s a fast food place, it doesn’t mean that that you can let your little kids run wild screeching at the top of their lungs while you chat with your friends.

And for fuck’s same, when someone asks you to watch the kids, it doesn’t mean to simply shake your head at them. Learn to be an actual parent for chrissake.

Los AlaMITos. In California, not New Mexico.

YouTube is now stopping videos in the middle of them to show ads.

Labor Day, a day I should be able to sleep in. I was awakened at 5 a.m. Something had startled a skunk outside. Phew.

Labor Day. A holiday that doesn’t have one fucking thing to do with our holy and sacred military. On Facebook, a shot of Arlington telling us we’re all free because of them. Fuck that shit, do we have to suck their fucking dicks every fucking holiday?

You would prefer union dick?

The military hasn’t done shit for me since WW II, unions have done much more.

On motherfucking Labor Day? Hell yes.

This is heinous and will kill their business. I don’t need YouTube that badly.

My brother served six (?) years in the army during a rare stretch of peacetime.

He trained every day in order to be prepared just in case he was needed. He did hundreds of “practice” jumps from airplanes in all sorts of intentionally difficult conditions (night, low altitude, etc). He lost a good friend in a training accident.

I’m not pro-military in general, but I appreciate what he did.

Never been in a union, never will. I’ve always made decent money because I’ve been willing to bust my ass when necessary.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

That’s all fine and dandy, having a military at the ready is part of the price of having a free society. It’s a job that needs to be done, like doctors, nurses, teachers, garbage collectors, etc. I just get sick of people acting like the military should have a monopoly on our esteem.

Well, you know, not as many garbage collectors get killed in the line of duty.

Maybe she’s lonely for adult company. And needs the money. Being broke will make you do dumb things.

According to Time, “Refuse and recyclable material collectors” had the fifth highest deaths per capita rate of all jobs in the US in 2014 (although the list excludes military deaths, so a direct comparison isn’t possible).

AdBlock is your friend. I don’t see ads on YouTube.

Thanks, Rysto; ignorance fought. I would not have expected these results.

I must come back and apologize to Tropical Depression Hermine. She only tempted idiots who want to surf and swim in dangerous rip tides and did not flood or cause any black outs. Sorry for the early freak out. Past experience has made me wary.

Oh, you didn’t meet Hurricane Hermine. Dropped a pine tree on my house (right over where my wife and kids were sleeping! :eek:), destroyed my fence, and generally fucked a bunch of shit up. I got power back last night at 9:45 (72 hours after losing it). I have friends who STILL don’t have power.

Overall, we were relatively lucky. Nobody hurt and we were prepared for an outage (although the fun was over after about hour 40 after that it just sucked).
