  1. Can anyone (preferably in Canada) grab me the rise against 7"?
  2. any and all seafood including seaweed. eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, raw tomatoes, Chinese dumplings, liver, black liquorice, feta cheese, mustard, dried fruit, jam, mayo, kraft cheese slices, Guinness beer, sour cream, yogurt, cantaloupe.
  3. i played trumpet in elementary school. i sucked at it and i hated it. thats all i have to add to this thread. bye.
  4. My thought exactly. Maybe he was taking liberties that he shouldn't have been and got shot down by the big boss. In case you can't tell, I have that pessimist thing down pat too :/
  5. I'm pretty happy with the releases in this package. i was guessing the 3rd record would be something from moneen, but i bet we'll see something from them in one of the other bundles. i'm stoked about jackson square. it's such a good record. i had a copy a few years ago which i stupidly traded away and i regretted it since so i'm quite content.
  6. I have an empty extra jacket from the first pressing of the S/T record if you would want it to frame or whatever.
  7. Hi justin! HahaYeah I trust you guys to always put out quality stuff. And $100 for 4+ records shipped...not too shabby.
  8. Here is a female opinion. I try to save them until the end of the shower and then I let them rip and run like hell. I've definitely wiped out on the bathroom floor trying to outrun my own butt gas.
  9. Grabbed the bundle. Hopefully I'm into the other releases. Otherwise I'll just trade them with someone here.
  10. me too. same deal. 2gb more for $10 less. still went over.
  11. Yelling at your dog AFTER they do something wrong is only likely to make things like this happen again as it confuses them, and makes them anxious which makes them more likely to damage things.
  12. Me too. I hate cases but after trying and returning like 4 different cases that I hated, I picked up one of the official apple ones and I'm fine with using it. I have the silver phone and the white silicone case fits nicely with it. Has anyone noticed a large spike in data consumption with their 6/6+? We don't have unlimited data plans in Canada. But when I had my 4s I had a 1gb plan that I never went over because I use wifi at home. When I upgraded I switched to a 3gb plan which I somehow managed to blow through in 2 weeks as well as maxing out my broadband allotment at home this month. I haven't been downloading anything big. Is this phone just a data sucker?? I have to say the signal strength is pretty shit too. When using my cellular network as opposed to wifi, nearly my whole house is a dead spot. I never had this issue with my 4s.
  13. For me it was more about pictures than texts. I like being able to have all my pictures, music, etc all in one place rather than having to shuffle everything around.
  14. I just got a new job that requires me to wear steel toes. I haven't owned a pair of boots at all since I was like 12. It's just all vans everyday. There seems to be slim pickings around for women's safety boots and most of them are butt fucking ugly. I don't even really mind picking up a pair of men's but does anyone have any tips for finding vegan steel toe boots?
  15. I've been using the 4s for 3 years and loved it. But I only had the 16gb and it was full with texts and pictures and I couldn't even update apps or put on music. I couldn't decide whether to go with the 6 or 6+ but knew I was going for 128gb this time. The plus is really appealing to me because it's almost like an iPad mini. I don't have a tablet nor do I see the need for one when I have a MacBook and an iPhone but I thought the plus might be a good compromise. The only problem was that I like to keep my phone in my front right pocket of my jeans and girls jeans have stupidly small pockets most of the time. Even the 4s stuck out a little bit. Despite how big and pretty it is I decided that I would just be very annoyed with the plus if I got it because there's no way it would fit in clothes I own. I don't always carry a purse and when I do I can't usually hear my phone ring if it's in there. So I pulled the trigger on the 6 in silver and I'm really happy with it. It's still a little big for some of my jeans but i can manage and I'm glad I didn't get the bigger one. If anyone has any recommendations for a NON-LEATHER wallet folio type case please link me up. I picked up one by casemate but it's flimsey and shitty and cost me $40 so I'd like to exchange it for something nicer.
  16. Alright guys. Thank you all for the advice. After watching my phone anxiously all day today, I finally got the call just before 8pm asking me to come to the orientation tomorrow afternoon. Real smooth organization.... I told my boss that I need to drive my mom to a special doctor appointment and that I'll be in late. I won't see him again until Monday by which point he will probably have forgotten about it anyways. I will then give him notice. But I'm still quite nervous as I've never really given adequate notice to any of my previous employers. I've always kind of left with a 'fuck em' attitude. But I obviously want to do things more maturely this time around. How do I tell my boss that I'm giving notice?
  17. Thanks for the advice. I really do appreciate it. I think she would be one of my supervisors. The situation is a bit more complicated. This company has a location very close to me that I interviewed at last year. Everyone was very nice and I killed the interview. They wanted me to come in for a final interview but similarly called me the day before they wanted me to come in. I was already scheduled to work and really wasn't comfortable screwing around on such short notice. I explained that and asked if I could book for a few days later and was told no. They did this to me 4 times I think before sending me a rejection letter. I have been kicking myself ever since. I've gone back in to reapply about 3 times now and though they are still pretty nice, they are acting as if I burned them in some way and are unlikely to call me again. They're acting as if I worked there for a week and quit or something. Stupid. So the location that I interviewed at this time is about 30 minutes from me and I'm overall not impressed with the store or management at this point but still hoping I can get in, and then maybe eventually transfer to the one I want to be at.
  18. I will try not to babble too much here, but this will likely be an essay. Thank you if you do read it. I have been working for the same company for just over 3 years now. Without going into too much personal detail, I am employed full-time in a retail store, but my specific position holds quite a bit of weight and responsibility. For the past year and a half I have been horribly unhappy there. I planned to quit more than a year ago but never quite found anything else I was interested in, so despite my misery, I stayed put. I make crappy money and work crappy hours (usually close then open the next morning, then repeat) but at this point I have earned some seniority and managed to weasel my way into certain comforts that are generally unheard of in retail, like guaranteed fridays and saturdays off. The bottom line though is that if for no other reason, I cannot financially afford to stay here in the long run. I think that that thought alone greatly contributes to my misery. For the amount of time I've been there, I make a pitiful wage (roughly $1 above minimum) and despite bringing in tons of sales, I'm told that I am at the top of my pay grid and thats just the way the company runs. Once a year I get about a $0.40/hr raise. Well I've been consistently looking for new work and despite getting a few offers, stayed put because they were all equally shitty with less hours and no benefits. Over the course of my morale dropping, I had a few conversations with my store manager to let him know what I'm feeling, and why and that while I wasn't giving immediate notice, I wanted him to know that this is the beginning of the end for me so that my eventual notice didn't come as a huge shock. He seemed understanding and appreciative of my honesty. The way that my position works, I am one of only 2 people in the store that does what I do, and I am personally booked in for 6 weeks ahead at any time- another huge contributor to my stress load: the feeling of no escape. I explained this to my manager, feeling like I couldn't even get a new job, while giving adequate notice here. He said that I wouldn't necessarily need to give 6 weeks notice, but 14 days is a bear minimum and more would be ideal. As much as possible. Earlier this week I went for an interview with another company that is known to take fantastic care of their employees. I interviewed for what will be part time to start but can develop into more easily with hard work. The starting pay is the same as I make now. The problem is that because the company receives tons of applications, the hiring process is less than reasonable. For example, they called me at 11am on tuesday and asked me if I could come in at 2:30 that day for my interview. I was on my way to work and convinced them to let me come in the next day. I had to lie to my boss and tell him I had a Dr. appt to go to. Well the interview went fairly well overall and they have been calling my references, but the person who interviewed me was a huge bitch and didn't seem to be in the least interested about the fact that I would need to give notice. I said I would have full availability once I am done, but she didn't even acknowledge me saying that. She said that if I get the offer I would have to come in THIS WEDNESDAY for an orientation. I know that with this place if I say I can't, then I've blown my opportunity to get my foot in, but I don't want to burn the place I work for now. And I'm fully expecting that I won't even hear from them until tuesday either way. So what do I do? Go into work on tuesday and tell my boss that I going to do my best for him but I already can't be there the next day? I'm majorly stressing out here because I feel like I am either going to blow my chance, or burn my boss and the stress is bad enough that it's making me hope they don't even offer me the job, even though I really want it, and really need out of where I am. What should I do?
  19. am i the only one that finds these gross? they leave this horrible artificially sweet aftertaste on your tongue.
  20. Day 5 of lockjaw. I think I'm in hell.
  21. That was actually the first thing I thought of.
  22. I was out cold for the procedure. They froze the shit out of my mouth. I couldn't feel my ears, bottom lip, tongue or chin for like 14 hours afterwords. I tried to take the gauze out but turns out I was just pulling on my bottom lip haha. Yeah I have coverage from work which is why I did it now because I'm planning to quit soon. And it would've cost me $1500 otherwise. For anybody that needs it done, I'd say take a week off and just get it over with. The infections I kept getting were equal to if not more painful than having them removed. Like I said, I've made it 5 days with just OTC aleve. It's just damn frustrating not being able to eat. Or stay awake. I've been sleeping around 20 hours a day since Thursday.
  23. Yeah yeah yeah. My family is known to be a bunch of pansies that can't handle painkillers. They gave me RX strength Motrin and percs. Food had nothing to do with it. The nausea is 1000x worse than the pain. I'm taking 3 aleve a day and sleeping sandwiched in ice packs. They had to smash my bottom teeth into pieces to remove them. My cheeks are all swollen on the inside and I keep biting them. God damnit.
