I remember reading, a long time ago, that people who sleep naked typically make more money than people who sleep clothed. I’m not sure how an employer is supposed to find out an employee sleeps sans vêtements – I know my company seems to lack anything in the way of a form I can fill [...]
At least when it comes to bedbug-infested cities in North America. (Per a press release sent out by a company that sells stuff to kill bedbugs.) Columbus, Ohio New York Toronto Bloomington IN Manchester NH San Francisco Durham Vancouver Chicago Denver I live in the #1 city (at least a suburb) and I visit [...]
Several weeks ago Diane came to Ohio to visit for a while. One night we went to a local restaurant where we sat at the bar and had a light meal and a couple of beers (because we were in the mood for the atmosphere one experiences when having dinner at a bar rather than [...]
A week or so ago conservative protesters yelled "faggot" at US Representative Barney Frank. During the same timeframe, demonstrators yelled "nigger" at US Representative John Lewis.
