All my coke connections are people who work in the restaurant industry lol. Most of the dealers hang out in bars to mainly sell to the staff, not the patrons. And apparently everyone around my age in Sault Ste Marie (Ontario) does coke or pills (oxy's)

Edit: I don't live in the soo, thank god, but Ive been working there the last 3 months (blow my brains out please)

Only women I've dated that could go drink for drink for me was a chef. I rather enjoy getting to hang around the back of house once in awhile, kitchen crew reminds me of the retards I used to get shot at with.

There's some restaurant in between Manhattan and Salina where they serve food in a "family dining table" manner.. Food comes out in big bowls, and you usually bring 4-6 people and you get chicken, some type of delicious bread/biscuits, and mashed potatoes with gravy. It's not a super glamorous place and the wait staff is mid 40's women. No glitz to the restaurant but the food...dear god, so good

That food is amazing, and I can't think of the place but god drat it's worth the 45 minute drive to get there.

Probably my favorite place in the world is this Tapas place down the street from where I lived when I first got out. Family owned I think, been there since the early 80s not part of the tapas craze that the hit in the last decade or so. Inside is over the top, but in a cheesy eccentric old grandma kind of way. Not the cheapest but It's way better than the super pricey glitzy tapas bars down town and it's the only place I've been to in the states that does it right: get a bunch of people and just relax and order snacks and down pitchers of wine/sangria for hours and no one tries to move you along. I hate the way restaurants in the states try to turn out covers so hard.

edit: Also it's traditional Spanish food which is delicious and hard to find.

I worked in the restaurant industry for ~10 years, I think I can count on one hand the number of people (front of house) off the top of my head who didn't abuse drugs and/or alcohol. I'm not one of them.

Right? I had a deal with the bartender where Id give him a meal and he would give me giant To Go cup filled with beer. He would also give me refills. I bought weed off of my coworkers I cant even rememeber how many times.

I never dated a Hooters waitress though. Probably because I had two of my ex's working there when I got hired. They didnt work there when we dated. I did get to party at a gay club with them which was a really loving cool experience as a straight dude.

I just learned that the jury has been essentially told to sequester themselves and are on the hook for their own lodging at the trial site. This is pretty unprecedented for such a high profile and sensitive case, yeah? It almost guarantees a tainted jury pool, especially since the 4 alternates are ALSO expected to be on site.

http://thehill.com/homenews/news/402670-trump-tweets-raise-questions-about-why-manafort-jury-isnt-sequestered

Specifically:

"The fact that the jury in the Manafort trial — the first test in court for special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of prosecutors — isn’t sequestered is not necessarily a surprise.
“It’s very rare, it’s very expensive and it’s a huge burden on jurors,” Seth Waxman, who worked for 13 years as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, said of forcing a jury to stay together in a hotel, out of public view, for the duration of a trial."

e: I may have misread the lodging bit, the expensive quote probably comes from the fact that they can't go to work. My bad

Property tax is already loving huge in California, since they love to push to raise it for 'schools' that was supposed to get extra funding from the CA lottery lmbo. Removing it for 55+ would jack it up even higher for everyone else.

My house right now eats up over $12,500 per year in property tax and it is not a huge expensive house for the area.
