Title: Why are you Here?
Post by: corbe on November 07, 2017, 11:33:15 pm
   Again, that Historical, dreaded Thread Jack Issue arises and me being one of the instigators of such chaos that causes grief apparently in some of our members, (I apologize, in advance).
   I thought a new, improved poll would better ascertain how Briefers really feel.

   I don't consider Trumpers Guest here, they are my Friends, but I turned Guest off to keep the Vote Legit.

For the kittehs, the donuts and the people

It's a nice place.

The morning coffee is nice too.

I hope this answers your question @corbe, but I answered the third one.

Good morning. 🌞

I come here for news and to hide out in my corner of the lounge.  My friends come in and play with Prissy and eat cookies and drink Twinings tea.  I didn't vote in the poll.

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.
