My friend follows a "yardsale" type of page on Facebook where local people post things they want to sell or just get rid of.
Someone made a post of a kitten their kid had found on the side of the road. They were giving it away for free and my friend said there were some very sketchy responses so she snatched her bag and drove out to save the poor thing.





They took her to the vet and she checked out 100% healthy aside from being starved. She's somewhere between 6-8 weeks old and is as sweet as can be. Very little fear except for trying to run from loud sudden noises.





Now she's nice and cozy at her new home, getting as much food as she wants, she's had a bath, is getting flea treatments, and has two doggie siblings (who are being kept away until she gets older and stronger)



Her name is Marbles. :kimchi:

This is Bryan Gaynor in his first appearance on the show "So you Think you can Dance?"

He didn't make it far in the competition, but he came back for another appearance in a later season.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGkLTi7pxPg

The fans and judges loved him so much he actually became a guest talent a couple seasons later with his newly formed group called Remote Kontrol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD1gtFTE96U

There's a guy who is good at what he does. And loves every second of it.

After be gained popularity, he changed the name of the group to Dragon House as it gained more members.

I'm about to start a job at a distribution center's bakery and I'm a little nervous since I've never done anything remotely like it before. It reminded me of this video.

I hope I can one day get as good as this guy. And enjoy it as much as he seems to.

Well if its a distribution center you probably just pack stuff.

But if you ever get put in charge of anything or need to make product, I got some one single piece of advice for you.

Never, EVER experiment with pastries, you can gently caress around a bit with most recipes, anything related to bakery is very precise, your margins for experimenting are very narrow.


Ozz81 posted:

You can do anything you want as well as you want to - and if you love it, you'll never work a day in your life :)


Thanks for all this guys! I had my first day of orientation and it seems awesome.
I applied for the job knowing that LITERALLY over 5,000 people applied for 200 jobs. I'm still surprised and a little baffled I got a job.
I will be doing some mixing, feeding dough into a machine that stamps out doughnuts and then they'll be glazed and I'll be icing them as well. (not all at once of course.) and then boxing them and possibly helping to load them on pallets. It's more than twice what I was making stocking shelves at 5AM in a retail store, the hours are better, the benefits are better and we get quarterly bonuses. It's supposed to be one of the top 100 companies in the US to work for.

I'm really excited about this opportunity and I'm relieved to get out of the quicksand pit that is retail. I feel like I'm finally going places. It may not have been my childhood dream to work in a distribution center bakery, but I won't have to scratch by paycheck-to-paycheck and that's amazing.

I want to say to anyone else in a sub-par job, Go for what you really want even if it's a long-shot. You just may get it!

Hey thread, looking for some ideas to help out a few friends.

One of my close friends has taken a really big fall out bushwalking and is in a super bad state. There is not a lot I can do to help her right now but want to do some nice stuff for her partner. Currently have card sorted and am cooking up a bunch of food so he can spend more time with her in hospital and come home to have a lazy burrito to pull out of the freezer or what ever. Looking for some other ideas that might help out a bit.

Yeah, like Sociopastry said maybe find some fun stuff they can share. If she's allowed to have any food or drink maybe you can find some little treat she likes. How much can she do? Maybe a board game they can play or something simpler like word searches or mad libs. Even if she can't participate, a puzzle book might be good for him. Something to keep him from being too bored sitting with her. How far does he drive to the hospital? It may sound corny as hell but if it's a longish drive or he's going back and forth a lot maybe find him a CD he likes to keep his spirits up. Or one he can play for her while he's with her.

I wish I could be more help but I've never been in a situation like that. I hope she gets well soon!!! Keep us updated and we'll send good thoughts your way!

I hope all you goons are having a great day! I just wanted to say everyone in this thread is awesome and I love visiting this thread every day to make me smile. :allears:

For content, a few months back an itty bitty kitten too young to be away from it's mother appeared outside of my grandma's house. She already has several (adult) strays but this was the only kitten we found. My brother-in-law named him Bashful because the kitten was super skittish and wouldn't come to anyone but him. He's still wary of people but not to the degree he was when he was tiny. My brother-in-law goes over there all the time to make sure the kitten is fed and takes him regularly to the vet.

Here is a picture I took of him today. He is so happy and healthy and has the most amazing eyes.

Not the usual type of content for the thread but if anybody here hasn't heard of "The Button" On reddit it's a really interesting thing going on. People are calling it a social experiment even though nobody is really sure what it is. It is a timer counting down from 60 seconds. Every time someone pushes The Button the timer resets to 60.

It has been going on since April 1st and has never reached zero. Only Reddit accounts made before the button was created can push the button. Which means there's a limited number or people who can push it and the timer WILL run out eventually. But how long will it take? How many Pushers are there? Some people are abstaining from pushing altogether because they want to see what happens when the timer runs out.

There are little colored flair on reddit to signify at what time was left on the timer when you pushed the button. So for some it has become a game. Who can get the lowest number? Who can let the clock drop tantalizingly low before they click? But with hundreds clicking, it is not an easy task.
There are sites to monitor The Button. People have made videos talking about the psychology behind it, written songs, and stories, and made art.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KORDUhA50M

I find it all so interesting.

I have not pushed The Button yet. I am waiting for when pushers are sparse. Maybe I can keep it going just one minute more.

The question is: Will you be a pusher?
