A middle age man came to apply for a job at 1044pm last night. I replied with the usual you can leave a resume (his reply I didn't bring one but I can leave my number). So I got him to write doen and brief...

thinkingoutloud I'm curious what industry you work in because, seriously, who goes applying for jobs at nearly 11PM -- unless it's by appointment to meet with someone for a night shift position?

I had such a good time with my friends that spent the night last night. We stayed up WAY too late, talking and catching up. They have been in NY for the last couple months. They just came here for a week or so, now they are headed...

thinkingoutloud @Drosophila At first, he was very angry with his sister... and he tried for awhile to call her, email her, etc. in order to get my money back. I think he was also initially pretty embarrassed to have his family treat me like that. But, after awhile, he started...

thinkingoutloud @Drosophila I was beyond angry... and incredibly hurt. Wasn't much of a "welcome to the family" to be treated that way. It was about $800... and I was paying for the whole wedding at the same time, too. Good lesson, though! ;)

So me and a couple gals are throwing one of my friends bridal showers. Sent out invites on 6/10 and as of today, 7/5 only 16 of 45 people invited have RSVPed either way. I gave a "deadline" to RSVP by 7/9. Four more days for...

thinkingoutloud You're right when you say that you are "supposed" to RSVP either way... but people just won't do it. I have NO idea why people seem incapable of turning down an invitation! Rather than send their regrets, they just don't respond... and that is incredibly rude...

thinkingoutloud Years ago, a "soon to be in-law" came to my wedding. When she arrived in town, she asked me if I would cash a check for her because she had been paid by her employer while she was traveling and hadn't been able to go to the bank to get spending money for the...

I have a tendency, like most people I would imagine, to do as much shopping online as I can because it's convenient. My daughter is now taking up the habit, as well. She decided to order a rather expensive pair of headphones from...

thinkingoutloud @Marcyaz Exactly! Very much like going shopping... try throwing a tantrum over something you want and the cart would be left behind and back into the car and home we'd go.

thinkingoutloud @katsmeow1213 The boxes tend to be a funny collection of things, I swear. In one box, there were ten packs of gum - for some reason, gum is super expensive there and she's one of those people that always carries a blister pack in her purse. I also sent her...
