    Why is Ron DeSantis running ads in Las Vegas? 🤔

    Same reason he is running them in PA. Hopes to get support for his campaign. FL can keep him, though I do extend sympathies to those Floridians who wish him gone. He can be gone but just not to DC.

    Loving the memes, as usual!

    So, my old boss is getting really desperate to unload the massage studio. Back in August, he fired myself and another lead therapist. We filed a complaint with the NLRB, and they found merit in our complaint. We have a hearing date before a labor judge set for 9/15. Earlier this week, he offered to GIVE us the studio if we waived the backpay he would owe us in an NLRB settlement. He also offered to pay the franchise transfer fee and "pay all the unpaid rent". 😳

    So, we're not saying "no", but we'd need a lot more information before we considered a "yes". We'd need to see the financials ("unpaid rent" = red flag) to make sure there were no liens or debt attached. There's also the matter of a lot of inventory that's gone walk-about since he began disassembling the studio. We'll also want to see the property lease and the franchise agreement with the corporate entity. And of course, this is all assuming that the corporate brand even allows him to transfer the franchise to a group of pro-union roustabouts. ✋💪🤚

    We'd love to take over the studio, but we don't trust the other guy in the least. We've reached out to a business lawyer who works with franchises. We'll be discussing how we might go forward as safely as possible, or if it's just not a feasible move.

    That is certainly an unexpected twist, miriandra!

    A thin line separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy,
    humor and hurt.  Our lives constantly walk that line.  When we
    slip off on one side or the other, we’re taken by surprise.  But
    who said there wouldn’t be surprises?  Knowing God just means
    that all the rules will be fair; at the end of our life drama,
    we’ll see that.  We never know how things will turn out, but
    if we know with certainty they will make sense regardless
    of how they turn out, we’re on to something.

    miriandra — that was startling news, but you are right to feel suspicion with such an offering. The old boss is definitely backed into a corner to negotiate it sounds like, directly with you.

    Here's hoping for a smooth path if possible, in whatever the outcome. 🙏

    Ruth, love the My Pillow hire. Just perfect. Heard it said that they need someone as 'gross' as Carlson was but that is not reasonable. Seems to me, Fox will remain in a bad situation owing to the lawsuits that are coming.

    Can't see many ways to satisfy their off the wall extremist viewers and thinking that is what they get for choosing to be a brain-washing program.

    Satire:

    I was in Texas hitchhiking an old man in a truck came up to me and said you looking for a ride I said yes he said what political affiliation are you I said I'm a Democrat sir. He pulled awayThe next car that pulled up was a middle-aged lady much the same thing ask my political affiliation I said I'm a Democrat. She pulled awayThe next car pulled up was a hot blonde asked me if I was looking for a ride I said yes she said what political affiliation are you I said I'm a republican ma'am. She said get in. We drove down the highway for about 10 minutes all sudden she put her hand on my knee and I began to cry and she asked me why. I answered I've only been a Republican 10 minutes and I already want to fuck somebody. 😛 ~Rick

    I obviously missed this lecture. Then again, anyone acting like Josh Hawley might as well not waste their breath trying to lecture me on anything. His credibility as a stable, sane human being went right down the drain with his support of the Loon and his 1/6 stance.

    I love all the memes! I am struggling with this new format also- hard to tell when something new is on a thread and some of the print is so tiny! I haven't read any of the instructions thoroughly and guess I will have to. when I log on it takes me (again) to a site telling me to update my profile.

    this thread was buried lower in my favorites and said it hadn't had a new comment since 4/23

    hello everyone!

    nkb,

    The new comment date on this thread hasn’t changed since 4/23 despite many new comments. I informed the mods and they thought it had something to do with the hidden status of this thread but did not mention if it would be fixed. At least the thread is hidden again! There are many other minor glitches but they are annoying and I am not thrilled with the fact that in addition to dealing with bc we have now been tasked with reporting all of them. What happened to beta testing and the members who were involved in this?
    PS: Just checked. It still says last post was 4/23, which is incorrect but that I made the last comment, which is correct.

    I likely mentioned it already, but I, as well, thought there would be less white. Not sure but I also thought you could change the font appearance for what you could see — maybe even for sending although if individuals wanted something else it would change for how they saw the font.

    There is something that changes - it is that little mark at the beginning of where YOU type. The font stays the same, but I think the size changes. At least it appeared that way in the directions to me. I haven't tried it yet because I'm okay with how it is.

    I do find the avatar as well as the other 'facts' right by it on the small side and the I think it is therefore somewhat confusing when getting done with one entry and going to the next. It just doesn't seem to be delineated very well.

    Well, I'm a mass od complaints, but thought most of the things I don't like were really okay before when we still had the older version. I do so miss the coloring.

    I do note that you can make a word, or words dark black, or italicized etc. just by highlighting the word or sentences. It will give you a drop down choice — so that works far better than the old one ever did for me. Finally — something I'm not crabbing about.

    Hope in time (and I guess with enough complaints) some of these things might become better.

    Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky?
    Do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it?  No, we just enjoy it.
    Each second, each minute of our lives can be like this.
    Wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine,
    the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing.
    We don't need to go to China to enjoy the blue sky.
    We don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing.
    We can be in touch with these things right now.
