We started it

Are you kidding? China has been taking advantage of our stupid desire for cheap crap for decades now. They've essentially built all of those shiny new buildings and trains with our dollars. Trump has been saying this for years, even before he ran for president. China gets years and years of 5-7% growth while we get poisonous trash. Sorry that Trump is trying to do something about it. I don't know if it will work but I know for sure we can't go on much longer the way we've been doing things. The same is mostly true about Europe as well, along with the fact they get almost free protection from Russia and everyone else for thr last 75 years.
The pay really is horrible, though. Especially when you take into account the fact they're actively responsible for the well-being of 40 or 50 kids at one time. Down here in Naples, which is one of the richest zip codes in the country (I dont live in Naples), and with a good public school system, they make like 18-20 bucks an hour. With that kind of pay you wouldn't be able to afford to live within 25 miles of Naples.

re: Pink Floyd at Pompeii in IMAX

Definitely going next Thursday. There's an IMAX less than a mile from my house. I remember downloading an MPEG of this via torrent like 20 years ago. Fricking amazing.
Could be a stupid question, so forgive me if it is, but do most hospital rooms have surveillance cameras?
Yes, watched my mother die from cancer. Wouldn't wish it on anybody. Seen a few other people die too. I hate when people say they don't care if they die. From what I've seen, nobody wants to die, and they fight it absolutely until the end.
Who gives a shite? Maybe they have a health condition that you aren't qualified to diagnose just by looking at them. In the grand scheme of things this has to be at or near the bottom of things you should be worried about. Maybe you should be more concerned with why you can't afford to shop anywhere other than Walmart.
Is Missouri's mascot really named Truman? Truman didn't even go to school there. Or anywhere, actually.

Entirely possible that this no longer is true, but i was always taught to match your belt to your shoes.

Once you’re in a nursing home you should be able to do meth if you so choose. Let the olds live out their last days how they want

So the nurses and staff have to deal with a methed-out old dude with meth strength? As someone with a loved one that works in a nursing home, I'd say give them weed, maybe. Meth, no.

Have to admit, thought this was going a different way.
You saw this on Re**it and reposted it without the pic. This shite happens but not to you in this case.
Mine won't go anywhere by herself without keeping me on the phone. Let's say she needs a few items from Target. Instead of stopping there on her way home, she will just go home, wait for me to get there, then try and guilt me into going with her. IF I manage to convince her I'm too tired to go with her, she will agree, then get in the car and proceed to call me literally before she puts the vehicle in drive. I then have to stay on the goddamn phone with her all the way to the store, while she shops in the store, as she checks out, back into the car, and all the way home. If I complain it means I don't love her. With this all said, I guess it could be worse. It means she loves me and doesn't want to be apart. I know she isn't leaving the house to go meet someone else. I can't complain too much because I love her too and she's there when I need her. Women are needy and require constant attention. If you aren't giving it to her someone else might.

Others have already said it but I was going to post that there's likely a reason the one dog is licking the others ears. It sounds like he's trying to help.

Well, in most states, you have to either be a licensed plumber or have one on staff to buy a plumbing business.

Is this really the case? It's not bigly surprising, but what is the thinking behind it? As long as I don't do any actual work without a license and only hire licensed professionals? I've toyed with the idea of opening an automotive repair shop down here even though I'm not a mechanic and definitely not licensed. I would just hire a couple certified mechanics and let them handle the repairs while i drum up business for them. I realize auto repair isn't on the same level as plumbing and certainly not law. Do you really have to be a licensed plumber to open a shop of licensed plumbers?
Pretty much the same reason as it is for humans: if it can kill you or seriously mess you up by taking just an extra dose or two, it's gonna be prescription.
