cobalt impurity posted:High heels were invented to allow your feet to catch into saddle stirrups. The automobile has sort of killed the need. There is more evidence that high heels were invented to make your manly calves look turned as gently caress. Specifically, the evidence is in portraits of men in the past wearing heels and showing off their hunky legs.

Specifically, the evidence is in portraits of men in the past wearing heels and showing off their hunky legs. Regardless of why they were originally invented, cowboy boots and any other type of riding boots have high heels specifically so that your foot doesn't get trapped in the stirrup if you fall off, because you want to end up on the ground and not being dragged alongside the horse upside down with your head at stomping level. They still look almost exactly like that today, if you look for men's cowboy boots from a ranch supply store that are intended for actual horseriding use. At least a two-inch heel.

Retail Oh boy nothing gets me more excited than business efficiency gains!  So Cooper's one weird trick to getting things done fast is... not procrastinating... on delegating out work to subordinates of questionable competence... over a period of months... Gotta say that's really underwhelming after you played it up with the "mere mortals" thing. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Practicing their mime routine in the middle of an unfurnished yard.  Shouldn't they be stocking up on generators and batteries? That other stuff is really only for the benefit of Skip (and Grammy K, is she still around?) Dustin  She's a designer, not a copy writer.  You and no one else Dustin. Didn't you hear that millennials don't care about cars? It's all tech all the time. On the Fastrack  I know I start getting withdrawal if I go too long without seeing my friends' food photos.  Someone's gonna get fired today! Safe Havens  About .347 Reddits.  That's until they get slowly strangled by weeds. Midnight Moth fucked around with this message at 07:28 on May 22, 2014 |

Midnight Moth posted:Retail Congrats on your abysmally low turns I guess, Marla? Money tied up in inventory that just sits in the stockroom for half the year isn't an option on my 401k so I'm pretty sure it's a bad investment. A good manager would transfer that poo poo to another Grumbel's that needs it or take the hit and sell it on markdown. But you're not a good manager for many reasons  I'm turning into Midnight Moth...

Kevin & Kell  27 Rutgers tomatoes, 12 California Wonder sweet peppers, and 8 hot peppers of unknown pedigree already in the ground. drat, that's a chunky rabbit considering she should be an herbivore.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You know you still end up with more money though, right? The higher tax rate only applies to the part of your income that falls within that rate's limits. There's no way that earning more can mean ending up with less money, that's just not how taxes work.

Let them say what they will of he power of knowledge, I know that far truer is the adage of the bliss of ignorance. My greatest regret will ever be that I learned The Terrible Secret of Dog Comix. Pooch Café   That's not really all that crazy. From the looks of him, New Dog could be a setter or some breed of retriever. Hell, half the dogs at the cafe are one sporting breed or another. This will just be one more thing for them to bond over. Ballard Street   That's the least graceful Ballard Dog yet. I love it.

There's no way that earning more can mean ending up with less money, that's just not how taxes work. Yes, but after the math is all done I typically found that the extra hours didn't pay well enough to bother doing. If you want to have more money, find ways to spend less. (I'm salaried now thankfully).

Darthemed posted:Bloom County Frozen yogurt in 1987 is relatively new and is positioned entirely as a replacement for ice cream. It is not the Pinkberry "tart with 1000 available toppings" style you see now. Ted Turner bought up a bunch of movies and colorized some of them, but eventually everyone realized this was a bad idea. I am sure there are samples on Youtube if you're interested. There's a New Coke bit coming up in this arc. Kids, please read up on the Cola Wars tonight.
