    Anyways, I’m not sure you’re doing that here. I’m not sure rube understands my post. The children comment just seems snide. But again, it’s all about the tone you want to take. It could be cheeky and fun if the rest of your book is like that.
    I understand your post.

    Her entry is explaining why she felt strip clubs were wrong. I don't think writing about how others feel (this is wrong and you should not do this) fits into what she's trying to do overall (preaching, criticism on others, etc). Keeping it in view of one's perspective seems to be the goal, so stay true to that.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Related: the legalization of marijuana.

      It's not my thing. I couldn't care less what others do, but it's not for me, and here's why. Same sort of thing.

        For the book, it will go through a few revisions before publishing, so I'm getting thoughts on paper now and those thoughts will be refined into something shiny. Right now, just started page 23.

        Also... what really grinds my gears? I know I'm creative. But I hate the fact that my creativity and inspiration strike just before bed. Last night, I could have put on another cup of coffee and written 20-30 more pages in my book, or baked a coffee cake or muffins last night.

          The fact that Deadspin now has autoplay videos and there's no way to get around them.

                Surprisingly it’s not Billy boy this time, though I’m sure he has an influence.

                No, it’s their constant whining about the new playoff format. They believe it cheapens the regular season because “a good team can be eliminated in one game!” completely ignoring the fact that the previous format actually eliminated any advantage the higher seeds got with the away goals rule and typically led to lower seeds winning.

                The argument essentially boiled down to the old “that’s not how they do it in Europe!” argument.

                And they keep pushing it despite everyone else, fans included, liking the new format and talking about how much being the home team is important.

                  This is still true, but it finally panned out. Start my new job sometime next month. Trading a small pay cut for (hopefully) improved working conditions.

                    Congratulations, good sir.

                    Job hunting also blows for me right now, considering everything in my field either is bare minimum part time or I need to fast forward to 2022 with my MSW and a license. That being said, I'm finding some hits and for one, I have to do a video interview tonight for an assistant job with a behavioral health firm.

                      Started a new job this week. HR still hasn't officially cleared 9 of 25 of us for hire. So, we have no employee numbers, no badges, etc...Couldn't attend their mandatory "Welcome to the Company" thing since we couldn't register for it. Now we have to have our class schedules rearranged to accommodate the next one, and "lose" a day off (technically we don't lose it since we just had that day off instead...but it turns one of my four day weeks into a 5 day week).

                              I knew they were expensive. Not this expensive.

                              Food and venue is going to be the cost of what I thought was going to be the cost of the entire out-the-door wedding cost.

                                When I was planning, venue cost was there, but not food. Photog.....hoo boy. Unless you go back-door old-school or know someone in every area you need? Oooooof. Start shelling out the dough.
