My friend’s parents would make breakfast for dinner on Sunday nights. I always love an excuse to make breakfast.

Button first. Makes it easier to zip.

Try taking her out on a leash for a while. It may help her knowing you’re standing right there with her while she does her business. My pup is afraid of storms, and sometimes refuses to go out if it even looks like it might rain, but she will go out and do her business on the leash.

I live alone, so I’ll get away with it pretty easily. Whenever I eat a meal with others, I’ll just eat/drink a small amount.

I work in Windows support. Seeing Access made me shudder.

There’s one team in my company that used an Access database on a network share, and every day, someone would forget to close the application or restart their pc, so their manager would call in to have us manually close connections from the server side so she could access the database. My team brought it up with our management to see about getting them migrated to a SQL database or similar, but someone above us shut that down. My team no longer handles end-user support, so not sure if it was ever resolved, but it was a PITA for everyone involved.

Ever play D2?

She crosses her front paws when she lays down.

P.O.D. - Satellite and earlier albums.

You figured out what to do in life and landed a nice career? Nice!

You’re still single? That really sucks.

Our family blew up? Dad’s gone? Oh…

At 19, it was right before a rough few years. My parents went through a messy and drawn-out divorce that I was dragged through the middle of, and ended with my dad dying. Those events helped me figure out who I was and ultimately led me to where I am today, which is in a pretty good spot, but it was a terrible price to pay.

I think we would see a lot more carefully-worded legalese and a lot more loopholes snuck into contracts. Contract lawyers would see a surge in business since many would want to consult a professional before signing anything.

Because helping others around you and “doing good” helps build community, which you are a part of.

If you want to look at it from a selfish perspective, doing good and helping others builds goodwill towards yourself, and sooner or later, you may need to rely on others doing good for you. It’s much easier to get help if others think highly of you.

As far as being manipulated, you probably shouldn’t just blindly help people who request it. Keep your eyes open and your guard up when dealing with people you don’t know or trust.

Is your cousin not able to call his provider to find out?
