    This issue came up at my wife's office and I've been hearing her talk about it. I find it interesting and thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas. My wife's employer wants to hire this guy, he's Canadian and has lived in Canada for the last 10 years or so. His wife is American and is from the state where the job is located, her family is here as well. This guy went to college in the US and worked here for a year after graduation, then went back to Canada after his student visa was up. Is getting a sponsorship the only option for this guy? Or maybe one of those H1B visas? It seems like I always hear about loopholes when it comes to hiring foreigners but I can't think of anything.

    I buy Craftsman stuff from Lowes. I don't use them enough to justify spending Milwaukee money and Lowes always seems to have deals where you can buy a battery 2-pack for $99 and get a free tool. Now I have an impact wrench, leaf blower, ratchet, etc and plenty of batteries to go around. Yeah, Craftsman ain't what it used to be but I don't care. These will do what I need them to do just fine.

    I have a friend who is obsessed with this shit. He keeps texting me "Have you heard any new names??!?!?". Dude, I don't give a shit. As soon as people start getting arrested, let me know. Or better yet, don't.

    I started keeping my insurance card on my sun visor, so I don't get shot by an antsy cop when I have to reach in the glovebox to get it.

    We always had them for breakfast with biscuits and syrup. For us, it was with mashed potatoes and white gravy. I think I've had it once in the 16 years since my mother died, I miss that shit so much. I need to ask my sister to make it again, I guess.

    My late brother-in-law had this happen to him a few times. Once he was at Chili's and was laughing so hard, he fell out of one of those elevated booths they have, smashed his head on the floor. A few years later, he wound up having open heart surgery and eventually passed away from a heart condition. I don't know for sure if the 2 things were connected but it seems like it, to my uneducated ass. Tell that guy to get checked out ASAP.

    Why does Windex smell so good? Love that stuff.

    My ex-wife's move was to say "This garbage sure needs to go out", she wouldn't ask me to do it, she'd just say it out loud. I said just ask me to take it out or take it out yourself. No need for this crap. She also liked to say shit like "I sure am thirsty" instead of just asking if I would get her a drink (which I would've happily done). Once I asked her what she would say if I walked into the room with her and announced "This laundry sure needs washed" or my personal favorite "This dick sure needs sucked". She just sulked and gave me the silent treatment.

    Ehh, I disagree. Yes, magazines and papers were widely available when I was a kid in the 80s but you had to seek them out. I couldn't lie in my bed and have that shit magically appear in front of me. Kids and young adults can be on the couch getting those ideas delivered to their phones with minimal effort. I don't see them walking or biking to 7-11 to buy the latest edition of Tiger Beat or Cosmo.

    I got the email from amazon that explained they were going to put ads in their streams. But I have pretty much already quit using prime video because they took all the shit I want to watch and put it into several different packages, all of which have their own monthy fees. Fuck that bullshit. I'm not paying an extra fee on top of my prime fee, eat shit Jeff. Also, my big irritation with social media is it's making everyone act the same. People all talk the same, act the same, wear the same shit. I don't mean they all have the same accent but they use the same cadence, the same vocalizations. Every woman from 20-50 is wearing the same outfits. It's getting colder, so I'm gonna see a ton of wool wraps/puffy coats with a floppy hat, leggings or tight pants, boots. It's like they all have a uniform.

    Our Christmas went off without a hitch, no drama at all. So thankful. And plenty of leftovers to eat today.

    The extended family went to a basketball game last night. My BIL got into a bit of a tiff with my future SIL. My SIL is very fired up about his sports teams, so he was yelling and cheering and let slip a couple of f-bombs and "Jesus Christ!". I wasn't really paying attention to him and it was loud as fuck, so I missed the whole "confrontation". My BIL asked him to tone down the language, as we had an 8 year old there, plus my very churchy MIL. SIL declined to tone it down and instead left. He later texted my wife to say he left to avoid causing a scene, but he felt my BIL should have spoken to him more discreetly. As I said, I missed all of this, I was watching the game and looking at my phone. Of course, this is the year that we host the Christmas gathering, so both of the offended parties will be at my house tomorrow. I think they both need to just STFU and forget it ever happened but that would be too easy.

    I was there last December and I didn't think it was that bad. But I'm a very large man and people just naturally GTFO of my way, so YMMV.

    I bet Adrian Peterson's kids thought they were gonna be fine too. Then daddy's doing some weird celebrity boxing bullshit because he's broke as fuck.

    I worked at the notorious Oklahoma County Jail for 2 years in the late 90s. Had some good coworkers but the unsanitary conditions were too much. What a dump. Fast forward 20 years and I'm at my local county jail to get my fingerprints done for my CCL. As I waited for the officer to get the cards ready, I smelled that familiar jailhouse smell. Like sweaty ass and shit and dirty clothes that have been laying around for a couple of weeks. Talk about a blast from the past. I almost said something to her but then I realized I'd probably sound like an asshole. "Hey this disgusting smell you work in every day reminds me of when I worked in a similar shithole!".

    My parents were strict sticks in the mud but even they never stooped to that level. Put some cheese puffs, a sandwich, and a couple of oreos in there, for fucks sake.

    Why the fuck does every smartphone camera rotate my photos when it thinks I'm "too close" to the photo's subject? So tired of having to manually rotate the pics to where they were when I took the pic. Motherfucker, I took the pic as the distance I desired, your job is to just record the image. So dumb, there is no justifiable reason for this.

    I disagree. I've had multiple black female coworkers over the years who have different hair 3-4 days a week. No need to draw attention to wigs IMO.

    I can remember as a kid in the 70's, living in California and eating breakfast at Sambo's. As far as I knew, that name meant "Awesome Pancakes".

    People who fill out government forms that ask for your county of residence and they put "USA" because fuck reading, I guess.

    I am supposed to believe that an NFL team "couldn't afford" full-time employees? GTFOH with that bullshit. Art Modell was just a cheapskate.

    UPDATE: 90 mins before my booking, top golf texted me to see if I wanted to sign in all my players now. Fuck off.
