This was from a Penzey's customer email.. apparently the real conversation is on their facebook page, but I don't do facebook..

Penzeys: The Pope’s Lent-time letter proclaiming that in God’s eyes gay love is a sin will cost the lives of many young, decent, and just how God/Nature/the Universe made them LGBTQ+ members of the Catholic Church. In this case it’s absolutely the respect that kills. Anybody else saying God wants ga...

Questions: 1) How the hell does a county tax assessor manage to get into secure areas where state drivers licenses are processed? I know it's Floridah, but still. Up north, our state offices are in totally different buildings from the county. 2) when were the identity theft indictments against Gree...

My first job as an engineer was in Manufacturing. After about 3 months on the job, I was writing up an Engineering Change Order to a process sheet, dealing with the installation of the CRT high-voltage lead in a computer terminal.
