The Kingdom of Nyet with Heather Wade

Isn't he one of the many doctors over at lmnop?

Only cost him $30 and a click of a mouse! And to think I could have bought a house for what I spent on a Edumacation.

How many days has it been since HW went missing?

Does coming out of hiding to delete her posts count?

That is a sad but funny commentary of our society. Most likely, if you had tried to help them by educating them about tea,  they would probably spit in it.

ROTFL! The only reason I  know he didn't was I saw him make it, struggling with the lid on the cup. No joke. +!

Apropos of nothing, I was horrified to realize that I spontaneously thought of the fringe folks today while driving home from the workshop I did. I was waiting at a drive-in window at a Dunkin' Donuts for an iced tea. I asked for a black unsweet iced tea (you have to say that here, you can't say unsweetened or no sugar, it has to be unsweet or they don't understand what you want).

The young man at the window looked at me and said "we don't have black tea, there is no such thing. We only have regular tea or green tea." Silly me! Says me: "but regular tea IS black tea, as opposed to green tea, which I don't want." Says the young man, "I'm sorry, but we don't have that kind of tea."

"Which kind of tea?" say I, dreading the inevitable nonsensical reply." "The black tea, there is no such thing, I'm sorry."

I take a deep breath, it's been a long day and I had very little sleep last night having to get up so early. "Ok then, I'd like a large unsweet regular tea, thank you."

"Ok," says he, and then: "unsweet?" I restrained myself from reaching up through the window and swatting him with the paper napkins on the window ledge. "Yes." I say.

Finally he brings me the tea (black, unsweetened, of course!), hands it and a straw to me, and then says "That'll be $3.09." (It included a donut, a very rare indulgence for me, but I was in traffic after all!). I hand him three dollar bills and a dime. He looks at the bills and the coin, looks at the register, looks back at the money, and says "Don't you need to give me another dollar? It's $3.09, not $3.

"I gave you $3.10, you owe me a penny, I don't owe you another dollar. May I please just have my change and the donut so I can go?"

And then... seriously, he called the manager over to ask if I needed to give him another dollar (she told him no). I asked her if he was new or in training and she said no, he'd been there a few months, was there a problem?

I said, "he can't seem to make change from what I gave him. And he doesn't seem to know your iced tea is black tea or green tea, he seems confused."

And she said (I swear this is true), we don't have black tea, we have regular tea."

I sighed, closed my window and drove off... wondering if the fringe people had taken over that Dunkin Donuts location without my knowing it.

End of saga.

Jesus. What the fuck? You can only blame public schools for so long before you just say “We suck. We live in the world we create and we are idiots.”

Yeah, I was wondering  because he went from unknown occupation, busted criminal to doctor, business mogul and member of the world's largest media giant in four years. That is impressive.

Edit: that's Einsteining!

Hopefully, it was a developmentally-disabled person, Most of us have got days of patience for somebody like that.  Although their name badge or some other insignia should note it...

It’s good that Dunkin is actively employing the simple minded though. It’s a community service.

Back when I lived in Sunnyvale there was a restaurant just down the road from there ... Pacific Fresh. My ex and I would eat there twenty, thirty years ago. I remember good good fish. And white white wine.

You know, the irony is the one nearest me is totally different. I say, I'd like a large black iced tea, please. Nice young guy there says, yes, a large black iced tea coming up! No problem. They will even ask you if you want black or green if you don't specify. Night and day, doncha know. Go figure. <g>

Thanks, +1 back atcha!

According to Karen, The headstone was selected the day of Art's funeral.  Heather had nothing to do with it. Ever.

honestly, I thought that Heather claimed she was designing it like the Wednesday after his funeral or something like that.  Without BellGab's archives, I'll never get the dates straight on this.  The screen capture Heather saying she was designing it was from one of her deleted Facebook posts.

while I am sure that there's a big backlog, it doesn't take long to do a headstone:
