*lawyers

And the plural is part of why. They've always just been able to throw money at the problem.

They're asking for a lot of negative attention. Too bad Luigi is in jail.

Cursing is just a normal part of language for a lot of us, without it being aggressive.

Interesting. I tip those who are here for home renovations because they barely even get to leave for lunch.

You don't have to tip a plumber or a mechanic. They both charge for their time at pretty high rates.

I would tip them if it was on a holiday or in horrible weather or something.

Tipping movers is absolutely standard. I usually give about 40 bucks cash per person. Depends how difficult your move is.

I don't agree that tipping plumbers is a thing. And my dad is a plumber, so I think I would know.

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?

Let's see if they float!

I did. I had proof that they had received the first application, which I sent via mail. After that, I went in person.

We only even found out that they had lost my first application because I received a letter (which should have gone to my attorney) saying that my case was being closed because they hadn't received blah blah blah.

I expected to be denied because almost nobody gets approved on their first go-around, but my SSDI attorney thought I was a shoe-in, as much as anyone can be.

I'm not a veteran, but I couldn't possibly imagine not tipping movers.

 

I spent a few years living in the international district (Chinatown, Japantown, Little Saigon) and people would set off fireworks and firecrackers in the neighborhood for days or even a couple of weeks after New Year's. And then again on Chinese New Year's. And there's also this group that likes to go and bang on drums while marching around the neighborhood at those times. It was awful and it made my dogs so stressed out.

Now that I live in a mostly Vietnamese neighborhood outside of the international district, I only hear fireworks on New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's. It's great not having to worry about whether or not I should drug my dogs for days on end.

I personally enjoy fireworks displays, but I don't think they should be allowed by unlicensed people at their own homes.

 

About 4 years ago, I watched a movie which I enjoyed but can't for the life of me find. It involved a white couple getting lost in deep rural Appalachia and getting taken in by a cult-like small family in the middle of nowhere.

I don't remember the details very well since it was a few years ago and I watched it pretty late at night. I think it involved the woman being drawn in while the man wasn't, and there being murder (in a shed?), but that could be me mixing different movies up.

Does anyone know what it might have been?
