I got up at 4.30 this morning to do an extra shift for work ... the money is good, but I'm now shattered. So, I had some chocolate cake.

I'm going to walk the dogs now to balance that out, lol

Absolutely with you on that, one of my exes told me that flirting while doing my favourite sociable hobby would be creepy and spoil it for other people ... I took that on board for some reason, even though we had met by her flirting with me doing that same hobby.

Long story short - wear your jewelry, I bet it looks awesome :-)

For current day stars, Chris Pratt always struck me as someone I wouldn't want to be in a room with alone.

Back in the day I was the only kid I knew who didn't want to be on Jim'll Fix It (hosted by Jimmy Saville), though at the time I couldn't articulate why.

That's really good for only the second time of shooting!

Another poster suggested dry firing, which is good practice that can be done away from the range and helps handling the gun become second nature (better with a snap cap so you also practice handling bullets and mags too, IMO). I'd also suggest checking out Tacticool Girlfriend's YouTube video about countering flinching, which is a natural reaction and can cause grouping to drop (it happens to me really badly with full load 45ACP)

Thank you for letting me vent :-)

The final book is about 2" thick and contains depictions of torture ... what age do you think that was meant to be read by?

And it's that last book that cements that the only problem with the magical society is that someone bad got to be in charge ... Harry gets to be a wizard cop who will send people to a prizon of horrible torture, all the slaves are happy being slaves, the banks are run by greedy little monsters with big noses, and that's how it's supposed to be.

Books presented to young readers can help them to form lasting impressions of how they see the world if, like most people, they don't think to question it. My Mum thought Enid Blyghton books were just wonderful, for example.

Indeed, he filed complaints for abusive behaviour against me, my boss (also a woman) and the only POC on the team, got the union to support him, and was then signed off sick for stress for 6 months ... he was fired in the end, and the union reps (all dudes) apologised for just taking him at his word.

TBH I'm just glad he's gone, morale has shot through the roof and we're crushing it now :-)

I have a trainee in my team, he's reasonably good at his job, but he has a habit of explaining things to me that I explained to him in the last month.

Still, better than the guy who I had to show even basic tasks 3 times. Who when he didn't do it right, and didn't ask for help, blamed me ... despite his signature being on the records.

Same vibe as "chewing on a cigar"

I got some for working in the garden, and every time I stood up straight they pushed my undies down a bit ... there's a time and a place for everything, but that wasn't a good combination

Multiple health and safety violations going on there, it's just a lawsuit waiting to happen!

I just dig it for the concept of planet Scotland.
