I voted for Free Pot.

I did my pee test yesterday so you could go ahead and make the Special Brownies for me.

Listen. The "pee test" thing was just supposed to be between you and me.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well then you have an extremely low threshold for what you consider "Intelligent Discourse".

I suppose the truth eventually had to come out. The judge sentenced me to 300 hours of community service and there were no slots open in the litter removal crew. So, here I am.

Aren't you a stay at home mom?  You make yourself take a pee test for that?  And just how do you know you won't cheat?

Surely you're not serious.

I am a stay at home mom, but just recently I was asked in to interview for a part time, work from home gig with an engineering firm that is about 2 hours away from me.  A girlfriend of mine used to work for them full time when she was in school and now she is a stay at home mom also and has been working for them part time from home.  She knew they've been trying to hire some experienced engineers but haven't been able to find anyone so she suggested me.  So I did a phone interview with them and now they want me to come in to the office for a half day and meet and talk with a few of the engineers that work in the office.  But they wanted me to do a drug screen before I came up.  It's the first time I've ever had to do one; interesting experience.

I've done quite a lot of fishing too.  I can bait with the best of them, but I'm no master baiter like y'all are.
