Thought so!

By the way, dear friends - I did it!
I cancelled their phone contracts and switched them to Pay as You Go!

I am never, EVER going to see this nonsense again:

I have days where I just don't feel like applying for jobs. Just give me one. Anyone? My two interviews the other day were a bust....first one wanted more experience (they called it an assistant) and second one was sales. I'm not a sales person. But one on Monday for something I would like to do though the job description was 0 - 15 years experience and for an amazing company.

I apply for jobs up and down the east coast and some in select cities around 'Merica but I never had an interview outside of Southern New England.

The farthest my DD has traveled for an interview is 3 hours, the rest have been phone interviews or skype.

I've s


I've seen one horror movie. I was forced to go. Had my eyes behind my hooded sweatshirt for the majority of the movie.

Me, pick out spot on floor and stare.

 

[Gabe1]

I like the old classic horror movies like Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi. Scary!!

I have to say even though I dislike scary movies I love Alfred Hitchcock. For whatever reason I'm fine with those.

Walt is laying on his bed in the family room on his memory foam upholstered bed, with a pillow for his head. The pillow from my sofa.

I put Walt in his Halloween trick or treat costume for Saturday to make sure it fit the 100# of Happy Pup. He looked great, though he was not amused. Hopefully he will forget when the seniors start giving him treats.

Yeah, 'cause people really follow those guidelines.

then its a problem of their kids and their parents, not the store.

Agree to disagree.
"Blue meth" should not be a part of ANY toy IMO.

Toys R Us has always been a toy store marketed as a childrens toy store. Babies R Us was consolidated several years ago with Toys R Us, it has never been an "adult" toy store or marketed that way. So having toys sold in a childrens store that has meth as an accessory doesn't go over with families. Frankly wasn't going over well with a chunk of adults either. Likely why Toys R Us pulled the adult toys quickly. Not worth it to the giant retailer to loose their key demographic of sales.

I've had 4 1/2 hours sleep, a very stressful day, and I've eaten so much I could barf.
Time for me to go to bed and finish my Agatha Christie novel.
Good night all. Stay safe.

Agree. On all points.

Or, in other words, with Jack, I call it, "tough love" !! Now, if only he'd mend his misbegotten ways . . .

 

[MinnieM123]

I'm out, too...
Tomorrow is Half-day Friday...!!!!!
The sweetest of Magical Disney dreams to ALL of y'all...!

Laterrrrrrrrrrr...!!!

Can I tell you how much I love this picture? Let's go back to the basics.

 

[MinnieM123]

The bunny still is soggy if it goes swimming..
That seems to easy.What about condensation wouldn't it get wet that way?

Hey, what about dry ice? That would keep the chocolate Easter bunnies nice and chilly, and the ice wouldn't melt. I think I have just solved the dilemma for @MOXOMUMD ! (I also think it's great that there will be an additional Easter basket for her and daughter when they return home, too.)

(Oh, a note to: @Cesar R M , I said Easter again, because I know you secretly want to talk about Easter! )

The primary sales demographic for Toys R Us is children. Although I agree that some parents need to do a better job of watching their kids, I also believe that a store catering to children, has a responsibility to take reasonable steps to consider what items they display.

I don't have children, but I remember how careful my own parents were to shield me from things that were inappropriate for children to see. My hunch is that if I was still a kid now, with my same parents, and we walked into a toy store and saw those "toys", my parents would have quickly whisked me away to another aisle. And they probably would have marched up to the customer service desk and demanded to see the manager of the store, to complain about the offensive items.

If the toy store insisted on carrying these items, then they should have been kept them in a separate area of the store (a cordoned off area with perhaps a turnstyle) that required age identification from customers to enter (adult only, or 16+).

Never read any of her books. Never really heard of her really until Doctor Who

Yay the easter chocolate bunny will stay cold.
