Lets hear your Valentines horror story. Heres mine.

The week before Valentines day my wife suddenly started up in bed and screamed " you took me away from Randy, The man I really loved" I asked if she wanted a divorce and she said no she intended to live off of me. I told her I was going to be looking for a lawyer in the morning. She looked shocked and said "You're not kidding, You're serious and then started trying to change my mind or whatever. I told her to shut and and wed talk about it in the morning.

The refused to talk about it the following morning. Valentines day came and went without me taking her to a restaurant or giving her a valentine or candy. She raised Cane about that but I said nothing.

I wanted to have a friend over to visit but she sais she didn't want to be around someone with a perfect life and when I pointed ut that his life was perfect as he earned only a small salary, his child needed treatment for an overbite and my friend himself walked with a pronounced limp from polio.

She started imitating a lame man and making faces imitating the childs overbite and I finally yelled at her to shut up. He response was to yell I hate your _______ family.

I vowed that this was the last day I was going to spend another night with her under the same roof. The apartment had five months of lease left but I was not going to stay with her that long.

I moved back in with my parents and found a lawyer. Over her pleading and begging I divorced her. She wanted to remain friends but I said I was through with her.

Fire company in Delaware County suspended after racist remarks caught on video call

Fire company in Delaware County suspended after racist remarks caught on video call

Quote:

GLENOLDEN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Briarcliffe Fire Company Station 75 is silent. No firetrucks and no firefighters are moving inside or outside. It comes after the fire company was temporarily shut down following allegations of racist remarks by firefighters who thought their video call conversation was private. The original call was to discuss the consolidation of services between the Briarcliffe, Goodwill, and Darby Township fire companies. When county and state officials got off the call, members of the Briarcliffe Fire Company allegedly stayed on and engaged in a discussion that included racial slurs and disparaging remarks about African Americans in the area. "A bunch of ********** n--- down there," one man can be heard saying while discussing the all-Black Darby Township Fire Company. There were also comments about Darby's chief. "He's just a piece of s___," one person said. Another comment called the African American chief by a racial slur as the person speaking recalled a time when the chief was in one of Briarcliffe's vehicles to the ire of the firefighter. "F___ S___ and he's looking in the truck," said the man on the call. The firefighters who made the alleged comments didn't know other firefighters were on the line from the Goodwill Fire Company. One of them was Deputy Chief Tim Eichelman.

Quote:

Eichelman and his fellow firefighters knew he had to bring the comments to light. That included sharing comments on the call that made fun of Fanta Bility. She is the 8-year-old girl killed by police gunfire. "Fanta soda, yeah, orange or Fanta grape," one man said on the call while chuckling, even after being told that the girl was shot to death by police.

Remember, "Hot Mike" is not your friend. He can burn you in ways that the Fire Department can't put out.

Sarah will always be Sarah

There doesn't seem to be a thread about Sarah Palin's suit against the NY Times. She was gaining some sympathy as the victim after a 2017 Times editorial falsely implied that one of her PAC ads had incited the mass murder that crippled Rep. Giffords, even though the Times ran a correction immediately. But when she finally got to the stand, she did not do well.

Tesla car company once again facing a racial discrimination lawsuit

Quote:

California sued Tesla Inc. on Wednesday over allegations of discrimination and harassment of Black employees at its San Francisco Bay area factory. The suit, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, was sparked by hundreds of worker complaints, said Kevin Kish, head of the state’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing. The department, which enforces state civil rights laws, “found evidence that Tesla’s Fremont factory is a racially segregated workplace where Black workers are subjected to racial slurs and discriminated against in job assignments, discipline, pay, and promotion creating a hostile work environment,” Kish said in a statement reported by the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg.

United States Senate passes sweeping overhaul in sexual harassment response

Quote:

(CNN) The Senate passed one of the largest workplace reforms in decades, freeing victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault to seek justice in court when they had previously been bound to a closed, often-secretive legal proceeding commonly used in these types of cases by employers. The bipartisan legislation was approved by voice vote. It now heads to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature, and the White House has expressed full support for the measure. Earlier this week, the bill was approved by an overwhelming bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives, by 335-97. The legislation ends the use of forced arbitration clauses for sexual harassment and assault claims. According to lawmakers, more than 60 million Americans are subjected to these provisions in employment contracts.
