Ever walk into your job one day....
IDBillzFan replied to Captain Hindsight's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Same here. Except there was this crucial moment for me. I spent 10 years at a company, and after being a faithful stooge, my boss forced me to realize something: that I needed him more than he needed me, and he reached a point of prodding me to the edge. In one meeting, I was being chastised and threatened for, honestly, no good reason, and I had enough. I wasn't going to take his schitt anymore, and I literally stood up to quit. I'm still not sure why, but I chose to sit back down. I apologized for my attitude and assured my boss I would fix it immediately. He was happy to hear it. And I left his office starting to plan my exit. I gave myself a year. This week was my company's 13th anniversary. I employ six people, most with family and mortgages and kids and lives, and it's ridiculously fulfilling. I'm making less money and have plenty to deal with, but I've never, ever been richer. The idea of walking out and telling your boss to shove is a great fantasy, but it's a much better reality when you don't do it out of anger toward you boss, but with purpose for your life. -
Do We Have Any Bernie Sanders Supporters Among Us?
IDBillzFan replied to Rob's House's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Here's the thing that messes me up a bit. I've met the Trump supporters. Family members. Absolutely blind and dumb as bricks. Gatorman-level stupid. Never paid attention to politics and think this is their Tea Party moment. No clue how stupid Trump sounds, and genuinely don't care. They've picked a moron, and they're sticking with him. On the other hand, I have friends who are suddenly Bernie supporters. These are people who don't follow politics because they've been hurt too many times. They're generally pretty smart people. Just not smart enough to realize that what Bernie says and how Bernie plans to execute it are two completely different things. They like him in concept, but stop thinking when you ask them about the specifics. Anyone who likes Hillary is just an thoughtless idiot. It's impossible to look objectively at her resume and think she is interested in anything other than fleecing America for her own good. In that way, she's pretty much the Donald Trump of the left. -

Take it like the non-thinking robotic bitches they know they are. They do what they're told, and like it that way. Think Bill Murray dentist scene in Little Shop. "Yyyyes, doctor." -
Your all time favorite movie

I have two: West Side Story and Young Frankenstein. -
RIP, Merle. A true country musician. Poncho and Lefty remains one of my all-time favorites.

I have to admit...Ben Shapiro has been a terrific voice for the conservative cause. -
Find the oft-repeated, yet completely untrue fact cited in this sentence.

We're in a 3200 sq. ft. two-story with 5 BR, 3 bath. I've tried everything to get the number down except the one thing that may help, which is to add a second AC unit for upstairs. I had to replace my original AC unit for 8K five years ago, and I'm not adding a second one for $10K for the three months my electric is that high every year.

Ah, I read it wrong. I've never had to deal with employee maternity leave, so I've never paid it much attention at all.

Again, I understand how the left has you on pins and needles for fear of being beaten about the head with moronic soundbites. But until proven otherwise, Cruz ain't Todd Akin or Christine O'Donnell, and you need to accept the fact that with a media that eagerly portrayed Mitt Romney as mean for a college hazing prank that culminated with a haircut, and as evil for single-handedly giving a woman cancer, there will inevitably be stuff on Cruz...just as their would be for any other GOP candidate no matter WHO they are. Drop the fear. Once you get Sanders and Trump out of the ring, Cruz will make Hillary look like the establishment-propped, money-laundering, angry, white, war hawk, Wall Street puppet 1%'er that has turned this election on its head with the likes of Sanders and Trump. And one other thing: watch Cruz debate and then watch Hillary debate. She'll be crying about sexism and 'tone' from the moment the clock starts ticking, and he'll beat her about the head with her blame game until she stops calling NY her hometown.

You have to wonder if the city did a study to plan out the financial commitment it is making in supplementing 55% of the salaries. I'm gonna go with "not a chance."

You're a child's sock puppet, gatorman. Go sit at the kiddie table while the adults talk politics. I'm sure you'll look really snappy in your Hillary '08 bib.

Hillary Clinton: Is she the Leodis McKelvin of the political spectrum? Does she fumble this coronation like she did the last one? What an absolutely embarrassing night for Clinton and the entire DNC. Not even Trump saw it this bad tonight. -
While his faith supports neither, he sees them as state issues and given the clusterphuck of situation the WH has left the US on the world stage, I highly doubt Cruz will make either of those issues any part of his plan. Then again, there is Trump, who took his massive Wisconsin ass-beating like a true gentleman by releasing this statement. Oh, please. You're schittbrown from the neck up from having your head so far up the ass of your party that you don't even care whether the DNC picks a angry, old, white full-blown socialist or an angry, old, white 1%er who used her position as SoS to launder international funds through her 'foundation' to sweeten the pot in a Russian uranium deal after telling America that the family of the Benghazi victims are liars. Yeah. Cruz is the problem. Dumbass.

Let's Teach Four Year Olds About Gender Identification
IDBillzFan replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If you're not sure what to do, then read this article and follow the author's advice: treat your pets as gender neutral so you can figure out how to talk to your gender neutral friends. And yes...someone actually wrote this, and yes, someone else actually published it...because you WILL be made to care. -
It typically will run about $285-$325/month, but when the AC is running, it climbs to $600. And no, I don't have a pool.

Trump tells Bob Woodward at the Washington Post why Abraham Lincoln was a successful president. If you read this and still think he's the guy you want leading the free world, you're batshit nuts.

Gitmo: A Very Expensive Time Out Room
IDBillzFan replied to Keukasmallies's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
On the night before Obama's presidency ends, we will read how someone accidentally left the front door to prison open, and the remaining prisoners escaped, so Barry had no choice but to finally close Gitmo...fulfilling one of his 'day one' promises. -
Iran Nuclear Deal Reached

I think those weapons are okay because Iran intended to use them in the spirit of the agreement. -
Let's Teach Four Year Olds About Gender Identification
IDBillzFan replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The cases we see, hear and read about here are almost always the same story: From the time Tommy learned how to pick things up, he always preferred dolls over baseball. He loved to put on his mom's make-up and dress up in her shoes. So we just encouraged him to be his own person until the age of three, when we asked him if he preferred to be called 'Tammy' and he said yes. Interestingly, I don't think I've ever heard the story reversed, because Tammy choosing baseball over dolls just makes her an athlete. -

You'll find me selling Chicklets in Tijuana to pay for private school before you'll find me sending my child to a US public school. -
This was my favorite part of a what may as well be a WH press release. First of all, faking out numbers to make a point is grade-school Trump-like stuff. The point in the first sentence becomes much less dramatic when you realize credit scores don't top out at 800. Second, there is a difference between taking out a loan and taking out a mortgage, and there is SO much more to the process than just a high credit score and a downpayment. Having a high credit score doesn't mean you can afford a mortgage. It simply gets you a seat at the table. Most thinking people know this, and yet here is the WP once again doing the Obama bidding. His legacy must really be in the toilet if this is how he plans to spend his final year. Still, you nutbags go ahead and loosen the requirements again. This time I'll be ready to make some money off you idiots.

Fix that unibrow and trim your knuckles, and you could pass for one of them.
