    I eventually did a search for her, she's pretty, a solid 8.

    She's OK but not centerfold material. In the last gif, what's with the guys in blackface?

    Bite your tongue (you're not using it anyway). She's a Goddess, beyond mundane mathematics. Seriously, she showed serious acting chops in handling about the most challenging character I've seen Marvel put out yet. I hope Gaga does even better but, well, I expect she'll go in another direction anyway since the Greats rarely tread trodden pathways.

    I've never seen her act, or a movie she was in, or even heard her voice. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder thinks she's pretty but not drop dead gorgeous.

    it means no one is gonna cancel your Christmas... only you can do that

    and stores are gonna keep it going as long as it's profitable, so it's going no where

    I definitely agree it’s going no where. And sure no one will cancel my Christmas as I won’t allow it. That doesn’t mean there isn’t people who want to. But still, that statement levied at me made no sense in context of what she quoted.

    And The show must go on! Here I sit at work of course. 200$ bonus to anyone working today. On top of the 500$ Christmas bonus I got a couple weeks ago.

    About 15 years ago the boss bought all the longer time employees here, each a used Ford ranger pickup truck.

    I thought so. Every year you're here it gets bigger. I'm also due for 2 weeks vacation come February. One week paid but the other is not. Not too shabby for a gas station especially in this little town. Also a full service garage and tire station. Lots of money made here

    I was a bit too late for that but one of the senior mechanics still drives his to this day. A great family to work for. If you are a loyal employee they would do anything for you.

    like Christmas and new years, it's only Ramadan on Ramadan, not sure when Ramadan is though as we do not celebrate it

    Pretty sure it's like a month long. I know it involves fasting until sundown

    I suppose in a heavily Muslim area they might say it, but as it's every day for a month, probably not, know no one says happy holidays or happy Ramadan here at stores or even at work for their holiday, prob as not a secular federal holiday, it's a religious only one

    What a whiny little baby post. People celebrate what they want to celebrate and don't celebrate what they don't want to celebrate. Stop trying to guilt people into compliance with your holiday traditions. Things change and you will just have to get over it.

    Or he can celebrate as he wants, and give his opinion as he wants regardless of how it makes you or anyone else feel. And you will just have to get over it.
