Part of me feels bad and part of me is like, they're making a lot of money and choose to do this. Maybe this makes me lazy, but I very-much have a work to live and not live to work type of mindset, so I'd rather make less money and have better work-life balance than work more hours and just be mi...
If you have a set path in a trade you're interested in, then college isn't for everyone, and I totally get it. But, it is crazy nowadays how many jobs require bachelor's degrees where it would seem to me that a bachelor's degree just isn't necessary for the work being done. It's even crazy how...

I'm so sorry to hear that. Pets truly become family members that those without them just don't understand. When my last dog died, this poem brought me comfort. Hopefully it does the same for you: “There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the com...

[quote]I think Jeff doesn't worry about what they think we want to see. Jeff picks folks that he thinks are interesting, quirky, funny, whatever. I don't think he considers their game play. He wants them to be able to "tell a story" about the player. Therefore, we get wasted TV time with Bhanu! Driv...

[quote]at some point the casting went to shite and production started getting too involved in controlling the outcome. Same with Big Brother.[/quote] I think that the Survivor and Big Brother casting issues are different, but they both need work. With Survivor, almost everyone they cast nowada...

re: Pels (0-3) vs Thunder (3-0)

Posted by pelicansfan123 on 4/29/24 at 7:50 pm
I really am not impressed with the Thunder at all. They're fine, can get hot from three, but there's nothing really impressive other than rebounding our bricks all game. This series was there for the taking and the Pelicans have completely fallen on their faces. No Zion or not. This is infuriatin...

I'm only half-joking when I say this, but it feels like Ingram and CJ are plants to sabotage the Pelicans this season. I've never seen either of them this bad and I don't believe it's all Dort for BI either. I think he just sucks. CJ too....

Yes, I do. Call me crazy, but there's just too many stories out there to say that they're [i]all[/i] hoaxes or misidentifications. Do I think the majority of the "sightings" are misidentifications or hoaxes? Yes. Do I think there's not nearly as many as you would think based on the number of "sig...
[quote]They cancelled all the speeches bc of her. That’s great actually.

I just don't understand. Don't these protesters, along with the ones that block major highways and that type of thing, realize that all they're doing is turning more people against them because of how outlandish they are being. They're just ruining aspects of the lives of their fellow citizens. ...
I was actually recently talking with a colleague about this. For these students at these elite colleges with massive price tags that Mommy and Daddy are fully paying, I just can't help but wonder what the parents are thinking. A lot of these students likely went to private school too, so they pai...

I wish so badly we could go back to the days of no smart phones and computers being something "fancy" that you couldn't even rely upon. I had a great childhood where I, for the most part, just had a flip phone and then slide phone. I didn't need 100 apps on my phone, I didn't need the ability to ...

Sometimes I'll go on what I feel is an awesome date, we're having fun, seemingly connecting really well, I pay for it of course etc....then I'll get the "I'm not feeling it," and I can't help but wonder what else this woman was expecting other than what I did. And I think sometimes, expectations ...
I think a few, but I don't want to discuss politics with my coworkers, so who knows. Quite frankly, I don't care what my coworkers' political views are and I don't see any good in discussing it with them....
