I've been a chef for 15 years. This job is BOTH physically and mentally exhausting. Not to mention the rampant drug and alcohol addictions.

If you really wanna do this, go for it. I suggest you try to find the ritziest place in the area. Pizza places are where I would go for a new plug in a new city.

Oh, and you aren't gonna get paid.

That's why it's called filthy rich

I was scratching my head with that one too. HOAs are doing a better job at killing the garage sale.

You bartered for drugs and were then surprised that this individual wasn't completely honest?

Normal straight dude here. I've been hit on by a gay guy before. I explained the situation like an adult. All was good, no willies of any kind were had.

Yup. And it's gonna start right after the election results, no matter who wins.

They can't vote in November if they kill themselves.

Lol it's an old story from reddit. Allegedly, this guy was at a friend's house and he went to the bathroom. But he couldnt find the poopknife and called out for it. He was mortified to learn that the average family did not employ the use of a poopknife.

Well I've been living in Texas for almost 20 years. Mostly Houston and now DFW. Originally, I'm from California and I lived there for 12 years. I'm going back to college so I can afford to leave Texas.

Yes, the major cities are more liberal, especially Houston. But confederate flags abound! It's only been getting worse since 2020. It's a shame because Houston is the most culturally diverse place I've ever been. But be that as it may, this is the South. This is the home of racists.

It's my hypothesis that this generation that is most tech savvy. This was a time when you had to know how to use a computer in order to ... use a computer. Today's generation has grown up with the app operating systems. They don't need to know the first thing about file manager or even ctrl-alt-del.

My wife is born and raised in Texas. She thinks churches on every corner is normal. Now she is a travelling surgical tech and falling in love with upstate NY. It's not my beloved Pacific Northwest, but I will gladly move anywhere away from these loco church people.

I'm currently reading the Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It got me thinking that I want to learn more about all the presidents. I saw that Ms. Goodwin has a book about FDR and Lincoln, but have you guys read any good books about presidents?
