I'm really into Euchre, not really sure how to play Crib, I've tried Backgammon as well but I don't think I really understand the rules

My son used to play crib online with one of his friends all the time. I don't remember what site it was however. That may be one solution for you, get someone you know likes to play and do it online.

Does anyone know what the pub Bob The Fish used to be called? I know it was the something-or-other-Parrot briefly before it was Bob The Fish, but I mean before that?

If you called into the Fan this afternoon please don't read the hidden white text:

My supervisor asked me to follow up with this young man about the resume he submitted. I get him on the phone and I asked about his most recent bit employment. He answered the question, bringing up the second last bit of employment he had done. I asked why he didn't mention the most recent employment he had and he said he had forgotten about that job.

Now, I suppose it is possible that he was just nervous and had completely forgotten about the job he had apparently worked at for a year and a half and left only a few weeks earlier, but I can't help but think perhaps he had been caught padding his resume.

Anyone ever get caught padding their resume?

I would make you a bet that any references will not come from his most recent job.

I've never padded my resume, I've left jobs out of my resume that I thought weren't relevant to the discussion.

But then again, 20 years of strong experience gives you a pretty padded resume.

Yeah I'd check his references, no way he has anyone on there from his most previous employment which is a dead giveaway that he's hiding something. However, if his references are from that place, maybe he really did just forget? I say stupid things when I get really nervous too.

He probably left on bad terms or something...

I've been single forever, and I'm really NOT all that worried about guys, but I've had a few stories about it in a row here.

I just saw a guy I worked with for a year and a half, long before I started doing hair. There was no policy where we worked about employee relationships, and as such, we had a somewhat friends-with-benefits kinda thing happening. (We were young, so that basically amounted to making out every so often)

And man, he looks the exact same as he did back then. And that's a very good thing, because he was always gorgeous.

This will amount to nothing, but I was reminded of how much fun I had at that job. I made peanuts, but it was kind of fun.

I wasn't paying much attention to how much spaghetti I was eating 'cause the 3rd period was on, and now I feel like I'm about to give birth to an elephant's lovechild.

See, that's the problem with PPV - if it's on Sportsnet, Telus commercials will break the spell and bring you back to grim, grim reality. And if that doesn't work, Scotiabank is sure to make you angry enough to fling your fork.

I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that this ypoung man was fired from his former job. People tend to do this when they don't want you talking to thier former employer. That being said if that is what he did he'd have to be one brick short of a load if he thought he could get away with it.

He gave two references, one of which was from the job he didn't mention.

Like I said, it certainly is possible that he got nervous and really did forget, but my gut is telling me he got caught in a lie and the reference is probably his mother or someone else he is getting to lie for him. The company he supposedly worked for is like a ghost company. I can't find any info on it at all. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but the whole thing just seems fishy to me.

Women confuse me. Especially cute waitresses with the fake flirting that's totally unnecessary. And why would a waitress, who wasn't the one waiting on me tonight, ask me if I've ever been to the bar across the street after she told me that since it's dead, she's probably getting off early. Anyway, minutes after she told me that, the place got busy so I have no idea if she was just being nice or she found my lack of a mullet alluring.
