Wow, seriously.
Jesse! I just now realized you started a words with friends game with me on Facebook, which I a) didn't 't know existed and b) can't access from the iPad.
I figured it was something like that!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

the thought of 2 rows of eyelashes is giving me the heebie jeebies. I am picturing it like 2 rows of teeth.

Oh, I've been meaning to mention, my mother got out of the hospital Weds. She's still having some of the issues, but they are checking to see if it might be gluten (they've already ruled out lactose), and she's being more careful about things as well.

Good news, Frank. May she continue to get things sorted out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The legality of that ad probably depends on the state, but you definitely cannot ask for age in California. Or rather, you can ask but you're begging for a lawsuit.

Yeah, exactly. Don't know if strictly illegal is the case, but deeply risky. And, of course, jackass. Whether they're trying to weed out "too young," unfairly associating it with unreliable or "too old," unfairly associating it with technologically challenged, say, it's just... dumb. I kind of think it's the former. Either way, pbthfft.

I thought age discrimination was a federal thing, no?
Is dyslexia in ADA?

And clearly, I am not right in the head, because I want to "apply," but instead of providing a birth date, simply ask, "I'm curious as to why you are asking for my birth date?" Just to see how they'd respond. Of course, as with 99% of submissions, they wouldn't respond at all, but it'd be funny if they did!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Age discrimination is in Federal law and prohibits discrimination against people over 40. And yeah, begging for a lawsuit -- and even if he wins, he loses because he has to spend time and money defending.

I wondered about that. Not sure.
