In Cincinnati?

Yep. Laure Quinlivan.

She also suggests that we can lose weight by going door-to-door canvassing for her.

Oh good lord. I wonder how long before she says she was just kidding.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hivemind--I need math help. This is going to sound like a story problem, I know. An employee was underpaid. She makes 19.23 an hour. I need to pay her .5 of an hour at her regular rate and .77 OT. What does that come to?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You mean, half an hour, and she gets paid her regular rate plus .77 of that rate? .5*19.23*1.77=17.02.

Why don't you offer to ride behind them in your wheelchair and occasionally snap a whip at their heels to motivate them?

It's tempting.

What parade? Because we aren't fond of her gentrification nonsense in Northside, even though we've passed the gentrification point of no return, which blows.

The email doesn't say which parades, just the dates and times.

Hmmm.

I either clenched my teeth last night, have a root canal-ed crown going bad (how?), sinus issues or an earache. All present the same. Hopefully was the first. And I won't do that again and this will go away. Of course, air quality is shit and my sinuses always react to that.

...but I could go get tacos this weekend or the fourth& that'll clear my brains...

I read that a little differently than Hil. $9.62 (.5 at regular rate) plus $22.21 (.77 at time-and-a-half). So $31.83.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Gluten free people, does this [link] flourless peanut butter cookie recipe look do-able? I ask because I know gluten can hide in all sorts of wacky places, so I can't promise the safety of it.
