Check out Etsy, I think that will be your best bet.
Why would a man choose a visor over a hat? What is making you buy half of a hat?

For women a visor makes sense for having the space with a high ponytail. But seriously why would a man ever choose a visor? Is there some perk or benefit I am not aware of?
0, they are in public. All of this can also be viewed if someone stood on that road and used their eyeballs.
I skipped a few pages but - can you bring on someone to help launch the new business while you keep/take a FT job? Even if just an hourly employee, college kid etc., sounds like that would benefit you while you build it and ensure the new biz is a success. If you have such a solid idea, taking out a SBA loan to help pay for labor could be considered.

In general my advice is to take the leap, but not knowing enough about your whole situation I think its hard for anyone on this board to give you solid advice.

How do you keep the birds/squirrels off?

My sunflowers are starting to open. What do you with yours? Harvest seeds? Keep any seeds for planting next year?

Considering how many seed packets I bought this year, and the fight I had with squirrels to keep them in the ground... I am going to try and keep all the seeds to plant next spring.
Well how cute are they! Congrats to him.

You ever conjure up an image of someone off one post?

All I see is an outdated, ill-fitting suit (probably some shade of brown) with a tie the wrong length and a balding head.

Good luck at your conference.

I would have zero tolerance for a healthy pet ruining my house. Sounds like the only answer is to crate the dog when you are not home and able to watch him. And do your best to remove that smell/markings.

I love animals but sometimes the stress and damage they cause is a lot. A friend right now has a dog peeing/pooping in the house and its affecting her marriage. I keep my mouth shut but there is ONE answer to me there.

Yes I would hope 95% of the time its immature boys/girls and stuff we can look back on now and laugh at ourselves over. The ones dragging girls by their hair down a street may fall into the 5% psycho and likely to land in prison category.

These boys need hugs from mama or something. I've seen so many guys drop to the most pathetic levels to get a girl back.

Felt like I needed to even the scales in this thread :lol:
My best friend in high school dated this little rich guy for a few months. She broke up with him and he stalked her for weeks after, begging to get her back. Would park outside her house every other night.

One night he showed up with about 100 dozen red roses all over her lawn (her parents lawn, being she was in high school). The next week he showed up and convinced her to come talk to him outside. It escalated and she ran away, he caught her and dragged her by her hair back to his car. Ended with cops.

I could tell many crazy, sad & scary stories from high school. And this was a catholic/private school. The biggest assholes were the ones with rich parents.

Isn't the shutdown ending today?


Hopefully, but as of right now the gov is still not open. To your point above, its going to take days to get folks back to work and paychecks back on.
Monday, still no end to this. CuseTiger what do you think... keep a flight I have to IAD tomorrow (from MSY) or throw the towel in?

not doubting but are you sure they are monarch caterpillars?


Yep, I have had quite the production for several years so I know my monarchs. I was shocked to see so many. I haven't even seen a single one flying about to lay the eggs, but I am 100% positive these are monarch caterpillars.
Mine are all growing back out for Spring - I have around 20 milkweed plants. I checked yesterday and I currently have about 30-40 tiny caterpillars already! This feels too early? My plants are only just growing out.

I guess I'll let nature take its course but these suckers are going to trim my plants back to stalks and be out of leaves in no time. Anyone have ideas on why they are here so early and if that is an issue? I'm going to feel bad when they run out of food. I have forbidden myself to buy any more plants, too.
Catholic HS in New Orleans... our [married] science teacher/PE coach was sleeping with a sophomore student. He was probably ~24/25 yrs old at the time.

I recently looked him up on facebook and he has not aged well, is divorced, and dating a lesbian looking woman.

Good times at Catholic schools...

public schools.


If you think traditional public schools use 100% of tax payer dollars properly, ethically and honestly... sadly you would be mistaken.

Accountability is a problem with ALL public schools - including charter schools. In this instance, Impact Charter's board should also be held accountable. It is laughable what this woman has been allowed to do under a board who should be getting financial reports monthly.

quote:

Funnily enough our district is open to hosting a charter but no one has applied because they would have to follow the same accountability laws as public schools and they would need to come up with their own funding.


Charter schools already have the same accountability. They also don't need to come up with their own funds... it is a formula set by the state and is the same funding a traditional public school gets.

Does your wife fill up her own gas at ANY gas station in Baton Rouge? Does she shop alone at ANY store along Siegan Lane or hell anywhere in Baton Rouge?

Because that is more dangerous than using public transportation that MILLIONS of New Yorkers and visitors use daily in NYC...
