For my family
I got fired tonight. I have never been fired before. I laid on the floor of my parents family room and cried out of sheer frustration for 2 mins. Then I got up and started calling/texting/emailing for more work. I have a few lines out now and a possible interview tues. It took me less than 45 mins to do all this. My mom turned to me and said I am amazed by your resilience. I admire that you can...

A 20-year-old Lincoln woman found with methamphetamine hidden in her body at the county jail has been sentenced to three to eight years in prison.
So far typical drug transport behavior right?

Giving Thanks: 2010
This is a good idea Leila! I feel like I should do this every week to put things in perspective but here it goes for this year. I am eternally grateful for:
- The best group of friends I have ever had in my life. Some old, some new, but all amazingly supportive and it’s making all the difference.
- My Parents who have allowed me to struggle and learn life’s lessons the way I prefer,...
"The West Wing"
BARTLET [to JACOBS, sitting]: I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination.
JACOBS: I don't say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does.
BARTLET: Yes, it does. Leviticus.
JACOBS: 18:22.
BARTLET: Chapter and verse. [Beat.] I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I'm interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She's a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be?
[JACOBS doesn't respond.]
BARTLET: While thinking about that, can I ask another? My chief of staff, Leo McGarry, insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it okay to call the police? Here's one that's really important, 'cause we've got a lot of sports fans in this town: Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you? One last thing: While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.
[BARTLET glares. Beat, then
JACOBS stands.]
BARTLET: Toby? That's how I beat him.
On a man's world.
dearcoketalk:
Is it a mans world? btw I love you. Your blunt honesty makes me rethink the world and makes me want to be more observant and take better care of myself. thanks. but is it a man’s world in your opinion?
It’s not a man’s world. It’s not a woman’s world. Don’t even let your mind think like that. Gender isn’t meant to oppose and compete.
This is your world. The only one you’ve got,...
