Soooooo...
I'm not sure which mystifies me more. What the footballer did to get suspended. Or the fact that 5 years was the punishment they settled on.

I imagine to a predator my former wife would taste like chicken (no MSG). But then it would be hungry again ten minutes later. 😬
Interesting. This thread is devolving into the formation of a cult of cannibalistic customs.
On a different topic: Lunch, anyone?
I was actually thinking more of it like a 'guy thing', because if some guy goes & finds his mouth anywhere near there & intentionally goes to chomp down during a sporting event. I don't think a 5 year ban is the way to go. How about NEVER?! EVER again! That biter has a self control issue!
I've been elbowed, poked in the eye, thumbed in the throat, even hit near the temple accidentally, kicked in the nads, ( not football mind you ) but have someone try to bite me? Let alone there! That guy returns and he's automatically labelled 'the cannibal'.
What team wants to play against that guy?!

I actually remember this true horrific story from Germany a few years ago (spoiler tag due to the graphic nature)
Two gay engineers met on some social network, and started dating. After a while they found out to have the same... disturbing thought. One day one of the two individuals asked to be eaten alive by the other. The man obtained his wish, so the first thing that they did was... well, the dude cut the other guy's male parts. Then he cooked them, and they BOTH ate them together (so yes, the dude ate his own, cooked penis). When finally the now mutilated dude died due to loss of blood, the other guy cut him in pieces and refrigerated the pieces. He ate the man, piece by piece every day.
Oh, everything was filmed on camera. Everything. I remember that the investigators - who had to watch the full thing, multiple times - had to be put on therapy...

If this doesn't spoil your dinner, nothing will.

The post would seem to make much more sense in the context of this thread, which I've neglected for a while.

I bet I would taste seriously bad. I'm like mixing the past three days worth of leftovers together to have enough to eat on day 4. Dreadful.
Occasionally Reddit has a nice thought or two that's printable to share...
Slap an organic sticker on your forehead!!
Going into week 4 with my arm (seeing good news on Tuesday in spite of doing some stupid things earlier this week with said arm. Physical Therapy helped).
Thinking positive for mom. We also have an appointment with her surgeon on Tuesday.
Applied for another job at a very prestige firm I interviewed at 2x last year. Think I am better suited for this position. We'll see.
Hoping everyone here is okay.

Hope the arm is still good for drawing.
All good here. Moved back home yesterday. Have quite a lot to do, but the end is in sight (hopefully!).
How can builders make such a mess is on my mind.
Good luck with, respectively, your arm, your job application, and your mother's health and her forthcoming medical appointment.
When cleaning day comes and you've got no ambition, it's very difficult to get your gears in place.
Laundry going, I'm only at step one.
Laundry going, I'm only at step one.
Sometimes you can only do so much.
Luckily I'm down to just vacuuming and moping. Well, wet Swiffer.
So I have been chugging along pretty steadily. Dusting, bleaching surfaces, laundry, beds made, glass wiped down, so I'm good.
I wonder if others experience the need to clean so thoroughly even if they are not feeling well. It's odd how it's both therapeutic and exhausting at the same time.
I hope you are feeling better.
Yes, there are times when I need to clean. I am so annoyed I cannot clean thoroughly right now because of my arm.
I've got the laundry in, which is the upper extent of what I can do at the moment.
Will probably ask sis about her cleaning service.
And I need to get Swiffers.
No, I am not a cleaning fanatic or obsessive, and have (and had) manny other sources of stress to cope with; in fact, cleaning annoys me, and makes me bad-tempered, - it does not give me any satisfaction, rather, it tires and drains me, and I do it most unwillingly.
Hence, if and whenever possible, I will pay someone to do it, which is what my mother used to do not only when she was working, but also for long after she retired, indeed, until after she passed away.

When my husband was alive and we both worked, we had a cleaning woman come in. That was great! That was a long time ago. Since I am retired now and also living in a small condo apartment as opposed to the townhouse, I have the luxury of doing my own thing at any time, and if one day I am in the mood to do some cleaning, great, I do it, but I don't fuss if it doesn't happen that day after all. With laundry, the same thing: I don't have a scheduled "laundry day," I just toss the clothes into the washer and dryer when the need arises, and sometimes I do one kind of laundry one day -- say, clothing -- and reserve doing sheets and towels, that sort of thing, for another day. One way or the other it all gets done eventually! IMHO, in life there are many more things to do that are far more interesting than cleaning and laundry.
I have never hired anyone to clean my place. Not only because I find my cleaning skills to be impeccable but because I hate strangers in my home. I've only had one person who wasn't an employee of the complex or family in here. I have experienced a break in. That might explain my feelings.
I was never this way prior to that. I lost a lot of stuff and my husband even had his truck stolen.
I’ve never used a cleaner, although my mother used to. It really doesn’t take that long. I tend to do the majority of the cleaning. Mrs AFB takes car of the washing and ironing. She also cooks. I tend to load the dishwasher and wash up. You just find your roles and stick with them when you have lived together for 22 years.
I can relate to this oh, so completely, especially your last sentence.
In fact, with the exception of cooking, I really dislike housework, and will happily offload, or outsource the cleaning and laundry tasks if possible, or will bribe, or pay, someone else to do it.
Wel I have yet to unpack the majority of my affairs though I arrived back exactly one week ago from my trip accompanying our class on the Athens portion of their semester abroad. This week non-stop visits to among various NGOs and start-ups in sustainable and ethical development I shephered my flock to: the WTO, UNTAD with a UN Geneva "Palais de Nations" guided tour (recall this was the seat of the League of Nations), a roundtable on Internet governance, data and the future of finance, a visit to the US mission, lectures on alternative finace and with a seasoned diplomat who worked at the WTO- oh and a very nice dinner with our class homestay families at a restaurant in the Swiss countryside with delicious but so unhealty "malakoffs" a sort of cheese fritter. Been dead all weekend can only manage a bit of shopping and unpacking before I get back into the regular lecture grind tomorrow.
On the plus side, came back with a lot of specialities, olive oil, olives, feta and some red wine and spirit that will be descirbed on the food threads.

That moment when you feel there is a change afoot at work, but just can’t put your finger on it.
Quite a few departments have been moved to other leadership teams. Of course, with that comes change. And, I have no issue with change. The fear is, what change and what timeframe are we talking about?
As a leader myself, all the plans I had for my team, for 2020, do those merely disappear, as new directives are giving?
There is already word that my team will have to start taking Tier 1 phone calls. My team is Tier 2, and have already paid their IT dues. So, this will be difficult for them to swallow. And, even more difficult for me to deliver, too.
Time will reveal everything. Well, unless some Executive shares all the details with me
