Use scrubbing bubbles and a rag

Black lab rides bus alone to dog park

Quote:

SEATTLE (AP) — A black Labrador named Eclipse just wants to get to the dog park.

So if her owner takes too long finishing his cigarette, and their bus arrives, she climbs aboard solo and rides to her stop — to the delight of fellow Seattle bus passengers.

KOMO-TV reports that local radio host Miles Montgomery was amazed to see the pooch get off the bus, without an owner, at a dog park last week.

The dog and her owner, Jeff Young, live right near a bus stop.

In Young's words, "She's a bus-riding, sidewalk-walking dog." Young says his dog sometimes gets on the bus without him, and he catches up with her at the dog park three or four stops away.

Bus riders report she hops onto seats next to strangers, and watches out the window for her stop. Says commuter Tiona Rainwater, "All the bus drivers know her … she makes everybody happy."

A Metro Transit spokesman said the agency loves that a dog appreciates public transit.

I want to see this dog.

That dog seems more independent than a lot of teenagers these days.

About time...........


Bailey Bridge to open within the week | News1130



BTW, for those who don't know, a Bailey bridge is a portable prefab bridge. Back in WWII, the Royal Engineers came up with the first design.


Proper name is Braid Street Bailey Bridge.

imagine playing a game of chicken on that bridge :lol

Do I take a risk and go with a less stable, less pay, harder job- but I'd enjoy it a lot more and get a lot more out of in the long run...
or stick with my cushy desk job that pays more, has job stability... but it's mentally numbing.



ughhhhhhh.

GLOW 01-15-2015 10:17 AM

live to work vs work to live

depends where you are and what you want in life...

that's my 2 cents...either that or "fuck it...collect dem checks..."

Godzira 01-15-2015 10:21 AM

I want to be a mechanic again, I'd just have to restart my apprenticeship and take some schooling over (which wouldn't be the worst thing, school would be really easy)

its just less pay (no pay for the first 6 weeks of school which is the main con.)
I'd be greasy and dirty again everyday.. but I'd be happy.

orrr stay at the dealership with a bunch of old raisins, sit at the desk and pretend to look busy everyday.. but its good pay, comfortable.. etc.

Is there a future in it though?

no it doesn't seem like it, I talked to the service manager (who's a complete joke and doesn't give a shit about the company or anyone else he just likes the title) but anyyywas end rant*
I told him right from the start I wanted a position in the shop and he basically laughed in my face.

which, to be honest I expect and am not surpised when people do..I look very out of place as a mechanic. BUT I work my ass off to prove people wrong. The shop that hired me back home didn't think I'd last more than a week and the owner said I would surprise him everyday

Last month I got this text from a friend that brought her car to my old shop (the owner of Park Mufflers' name is ED)
but it really made me wonder what the fuck I'm doing wasting my time sitting at a desk.. it's kind of what started this whole rethinking my career choice. I was really good at what I did, I'd love to pick up where I left off in my apprenticeship but at this point I don't even care about starting from square one and being shop bitch again.

Does anyone else feel like the time these guys spent "pranking" these police should be billed directly back to them?

I mean if you can charge someone for calling an ambulance, seems like you should definitely charge these guys for intentionally wasting the resources of like 5 police officers.

Left a cigarette burn hole in my friend's seat. Can anyone recommend me a place to get it patched up?

Campaign against Oscar's due to nominations being "so white" as the best actor/actress noms going to all white actors...

also causing a kerfuffle is there being no women nominated for best writer or director...

:seriously:

BBC News - Oscars head Isaacs calls for more diversity after row

Quote:

All 20 contenders in the main acting categories are white and there are no female nominees in the directing or writing categories.

The Academy, which picks the contenders, has faced strong criticism.
The head of the Academy btw is an African American Female


and the hashtag if #OscarsSoWhite if anyone wants to look at the tweets

I miss my truck. Lifted '92 Toyota SR5. Not to sound like a douche but I miss the road rights... nobody tailgates you, nobody cuts you off, nobody brake checks, nobody boxes you out when trying to merge, people give you a wide berth in parking stalls, not worrying about speed bumps/raised driveways/potholes, I could go on and on.

You really attract negative treatment when you're driving a lowered, ultra slow POS Civic hatchback. Not to hate on Honda guys but I really don't see the hype surrounding these little cars.

I hate reading things like this - some people hold no virtue. If I were that fellow, I would be leaving negative reviews everywhere I could to help save others.

Will there be enough sales to pay rent? it's such a large space it would be a great idea to have some kinda place where people can watch the games as well. Less of a pub and more of a family atmosphere maybe?
