Holy crow! I've been taking the TTC for 17 years and I've never seen someone pull that garbage

That would be me for sure if I fell, the knees always get the worst of it.

Can everyone now try to imagine how tough it is to try and deliver mail in these conditions? Hug your carrier today!! ( well tomorrow, it is late now)

Maybe he wanted to sell the transfer and make money.

Recently, I was waiting for the bus and saw a guy finish eating a bag of chips and then tuck the empty bag in the security window grate of a business. The bus comes and he gets on, waves both his hands indicating he has no money, and goes to sit at the back of the bus. I also take a seat near the back, and then observe him take out his smart phone. What a loser!!!! This guy was no teenager, either. Someone in his 20s! When he got off at his stop, he met up with some girl!!! I hope karma catches up with him and he gets an STD or something.

I saw my carrier yesterday and she was very much pregnant! I wanted to hug her and tell her "you go, girl!!!"

Oh yeah, that's definitely an example of how karma should work. :neutral:

We are in the same place when it comes to eating the same thing over and over so we have a goal each week to try one new recipe.

My first world problem -- SDM was sold out of Evian water, and I don't like Dasani or Aquafina.....so I went to another one.

Got mud splatters on the back of my favourite pair of light coloured expensive pants :( They've been in the wash twice now and the mud has not come out! I now have them in the wash for the third time after letting them sit with detergent on the mud stains for awhile to see if this helps. I'll be quite upset if the stains don't come out this round...

try a sunlight bar (you can buy them at walmart) and a little bit of scrubbing will take it out(i'm a fan of a tooth brush), i've gotten grease, oil, mustard, kids paint out of fabric with sunlight bars

Thankfully after wash round three the stains are light enough to not be noticeable unless you are looking...I'm hoping after a few more wears and washes that they will just eventually go away.

I bought a dress and I'm in between size M and L. M is too small, L is too big.

Which one do I keep?
