I asked Retailer A to price match Retailer B. Retailer A said they can not price match Retailer B, because they do not have stock of the product. But, Retailer A doesn't have stock, either....

Why would a company hire a person as a Sales Supervisor when they don’t know the first thing about Policies and Procedures? Just asking for a friend.

Why would you ask for price quotes for things they don't have in stock?

Monarch butterflies are now an endangered species

The IUCN also announced that sturgeon are in rapid decline, while tiger populations are stabilizing.

Pretty sure I saw a few monarchs around the Sierra Nevada foothills in the last few days.. not many but they're around, if they were actually monarchs.

 

[Lamontsdad]

Butterflies and honey bees. I miss both.

And the key word in that headline, folks, is "allegedly". Without proof an allegation is nothing more than gossip.

How much titanium dioxide has been ingested? Lots of it in cosmetics, as well.

I've read all about it. The FDA allows a certain amount of TiO2 in food. The lawsuit claims that the amount in Skittles exceeds the legal limit. Just because a plaintiff submits a claim against a defendant does not automatically make the claim true — that's what trials are for.

All proceeds go to the Ukranian parish who know exactly where the funds are needed .

I’m in Amish Country — Bird-in-Hand, PA, and on the way home from dinner I saw two people driving separate horse-drawn buggies on the road … There’s also a lot of horse dookie on the road. Wish I could buy my wife a plain Amish frock and romance her with a lot of “thees” and “thous.”

A red Walrus and a blue Walrus were on an iceberg. The red one slipped off. What did the blue one say?

Sold my old POS car for $200 last night. It’s been an eyesore on my driveway for awhile.
