    Jiffy Lube ain't ish! 😂 Chevrolet tried to get over on me by doing $600 worth of "recommended work" that I DECLINED verbally and in writing. The manager came out and tried to get me to pay it. I wasn't having it lol. Then he tried to get me to pay half. Still no. Then the manager said that the guy that said I approved the work just happened to "not work there anymore."
    After an hour of arguing I remembered that I had a screenshot proving that I declined the work.
    Don't play with me. 😠
    Keep your receipts and screenshot everything!

      Don’t know if it’s true or not but… I read somewhere that she used to work with poachers by throwing rocks at the elephant to distract her while poachers would steel the elephants babies… that definitely warrants murder and desecration of remains in my humble opinion.

    I love that you brought up reading being a punitive thing and pushing kids away from it as a consequence of that. I've always loved reading and my mom always let me choose out of her collection and even made the library a fun excursion. Contrast that with school where reading the "Classics" often became a chore and bored me to tears. It really is about the framing.

    I love the history and the book recommendations. They are literally running the same plays that they always do and the more that you go over the history, the more that I see that they would want to suppress it. When you went over the school portion, it reminded me that Texas is trying to mess up education in its state.

    The Jefferson show reminds me of the Martin tv show. George Jefferson is Martin and Florence is Pam. George Jefferson and Florence would argue and crack jokes at each other just like Martin and Pam. Also, George would slam the door on people just like Martin did
