  1. It's not easy to find local honey, which is the type that helps with allergies. If you read your labels carefully, often the honey is sourced elsewhere. However, please buy honey. It's the best way to help the bees. If you haven't heard about the afflictions that bees face, please read up -- buying honey helps the people who want to help the bees.
  2. At my company, they can't hire anyone. The word is out. No one wants to work there. They interview but no one accepts the offers, or, if they do, they are only leveraging a counter-offer from their current employer. I've never seen anything like it.
  3. OOHHH!!! Diabolique just starting on TCM!! Subtitled. Time to turn off the computer.
  4. I admire you. Today I left work thinking that if I were to quit, I'm not sure I would say anything ...just feign amnesia and forget to go back. But I did draft a request to be reassigned to another supervisor.
  5. A three-year-old boy went with his dad to see a litter of puppies. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother, "There were 2 boy puppies and 2 girl puppies." "How did you know?" his mother asked. "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it's printed on the bottom."
  6. I'm developing a pet peeve about so-called "service" animals in people places.
  7. I believe it's the same dagger. LF gave it to Bran, Bran gave it to Arya, and now Arya gave it to Sansa.
  8. Oh, I'm familiar with the 10-year rule for resumes. But the drop-down menu was something new to me. I don't remember if I could have skipped the question, but I'm not going back to that site.
  9. I get the jingle stuck in my head, which is super annoying when I'm trying to sleep at 2 a.m.
  10. No one invites me anywhere, so I don't need a shirt. Saved $12!
  11. It's the faux sincerity that annoys me. She should be reading stories to children at the library.
  12. I read it somewhere. This fan Wiki gives his age as 12,000, so there's that. http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Night_King
  13. Are you assuming that no one else has tried on that pair of shoes? Or that they wore socks? Are you thinking that the minimum wage salesperson is invested in customer hygiene?
  14. At my current employer, nepotism reigns. Relatives get all the plum assignments and job security. It's a privately owned company, so they can do whatever they want. We haven't mentioned age discrimination. I was at a job site today, and started to create a profile. They had a drop-down menu to select the year you graduated high school (I don't think they can ask that, but bear with me). The menu ended before my year. Clearly, a subtle way to screen out the older workers. And, I am assuredly not a senior citizen.
  15. I think there are only a couple of reasons (maybe even one) that will allow you to quit a job and collect unemployment. Did you look into that?
  16. It's the chorus. I doubt mothers sing the whole song to young children. I wouldn't know all the lyrics without Google.
  17. Sometimes it's to punish. The Night King has been around for 8,000 years; plenty of time to seethe and be angry over what was done to him.
  18. That's usually best. Never put anything in writing. There's always the Wizard of Oz version: "Auntie Em: hate you, hate Kansas, took the dog. Dorothy" My current employer has a form -- check off the boxes, enter a date, sign the bottom.
  19. An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly." The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What's the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that’s red and has thorns." "Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, that’s the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"
  20. Hover Cover is a splatter guard that fastens to ceiling of your microwave with special polymer magnets. ... My question, they show food splattered all over the microwave, but sort of ignore that the food would also splatter on the cover ...
  21. Cars are expensive, and yes, people do obsess about whether the interior looks expensive. If you've ever read car reviews in auto magazines, they often criticize expensive cars for having cheap interiors. I want to see this commercial so that I can poke fun of people who can drive a car and not know what it is. But that's fairly common, as well.
  22. And there will be no returns on Halloween costumes after Halloween. It happens every year.
  23. I think Arya is the personification of “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” I can't see her coming back from her vengeance to a normal life. When I watched the scene with Sansa, I thought all of the Stark kids are weird. Can you imagine Thanksgiving?
  24. This actually crossed my mind -- it was like Star Trek, and all of the important people are in the landing party. :) They all claim to be freezing, yet no one wears a hat. (Yes, I know, tv and we need to see their faces, blah blah, but seriously. Hats.)
  25. 1. How does the man in the moon cut his hair? Eclipse it. 2. What do you call it when you fall in love on Aug. 21, 2017? A total eclipse of the heart. 3. What do you call the moon's online content? E-clips. 4. What does a blogger from 2010 call a full link roundup about solar events? Total e-clips. 5. What day is the eclipse happening? Not sure. Either Sunday or Moonday. 6. Why does a moon rock taste better than an Earth rock? It’s a little meteor. 7. Why is Aug. 21 the best day to freak out a time traveler from the Middle Ages? Well, there's a coast-to-coast total solar eclipse but also, like, a car would scare them, so whatever. 8. Why didn't the sun go to college? Because it already had a million degrees. 9. What do you call road-tripping to the eclipse? Going where the sun don't shine. 10. Why did the Earth break up with the moon and make a solo album on Aug. 21? It couldn't stand being in its shadow. 11. What do a solar eclipse over the US and an adult anime fan who lives with his mom have in common? They both waited 38 years to go all the way. 12. What did the moon bring to the beach on Aug. 21? Sunblock.
