I’ll admit, part of the reason I’m including Badcock in my search is that I just like saying it’s name. . . deep down inside all of us is a 8 year old boy dying to say Badcock slowly (you know it’s true)
The website isn’t stellar, but I’m hoping that the store itself fares a little better. . . at least there were a few things online that I didn’t hate, I even almost like the gray couch. . . so we’ll see.
The sofa search continues - mom and I are heading to Rooms To Go to look around
I’ve never been in an Ashley Furniture store before, but they use them all the time on Clean House, so I figured it would be worth a look. I found a few that I liked online - so I’ll be adding Ashley to the list of stores I need to hit in person.
Okay, I don’t know why I included Carl’s in my online search other than the fact that there is a Carl’s store on every other corner (maybe I’m exatgrating a bit, but man, there sure is a lot of them around here).
Besides being out of my price range, they really don’t have anything I’m crazy about. . .
I’m cheating a little on this post. . . while I did do an online search of Rooms To Go’s sofas last week, my mom and I ended up going to see them in person this past Sunday, so this post is a little late. I found 3 options instore -
so the hunt continues
I mentioned before that I’ve been to both Rooms To Go and Badcock to look at their sofas in person. I found a usable option at both stores:
Please excuse the low quality camera phone pictures - the color is horribly off in each photo. The sofa on the top is from the Condo Collection at Rooms To Go and is actually a nice gray color. The sofa on the bottom is from Badcock and is actually a pretty dark brown color.
So the one thing we know for certain is that I like square sofas with tufted cushions. . .
Holy cow, it just hit me. . .
One year ago today. . .
Why haven’t these chairs been restocked yet?
And when will they be back in stock? I need 4 of them for my outdoor dining table. . . It’s been over a month now. . . I know you have them in stock in the red/orange color, but I don’t want them in the red/orange color, I want them in green. . . so come on, help a girl out and get them in stock. . .
Thank you ~ Laurendy
p.s. I know I can order them online - but shipping is insane, so just restock them already
Whether you are currently working or are looking for a job, it is important to know exactly what comes up if you “Google” your name online. Many recruiters are “Googling” candidates names as part of their final consideration process. Managers are starting to Google their employees as well (sometimes out of sheer curiosity and sometimes because they are digging for information on a problematic employee). Even HR professionals are using the internet as part of employee relations investigations such as harassment, drug use, etc.
Things to keep in mind:
* Recruiters are starting to check out myspace pages to get a better feel for who their candidates really are. All they have to do is search by your email address. Use one email address for professional activity and a totally different one for your personal stuff. Keep your personal and professional stuff as separate as possible.
* Keep your profiles as anonymous as possible. Use nicknames and fake or vague information. On your profile page, don’t state your location as “San Diego, CA”. Say something like, “West Coast” or “USA”. If your employer manages to find your page, you don’t want to give them anything to confirm that it is actually you.
* On the anonymity front…. If you really want to be cautious with this, be careful with pictures you post on your site. That is an instant giveaway. On Myspace, people can search for “Chloe” and then just skim the pictures of the search results for your picture. I don’t have any pictures on my myspace page that actually show my face.
* Don’t post stuff online that incriminates you. If you cheated your way past the new hire drug test, don’t post something online about how you did it.
* If you have a criminal record or a charge from your past, look into having your records sealed or expunged. This will prevent others from being able to discover your “mishap”, especially if it happened when you were a minor. Not every case is eligible to be sealed or expunged; ask an attorney if you qualify for this.

What is it with men and big boobs? Anatomically, these are glands which we humans use to feed our young. Technically it’s just another one of nature’s many designs to help us propagate and survive. As one may already know, breasts develop in the puberty stage with a girl’s hormones going haywire, no one can say how big it’s going to get. Studies say that the size of the breast depends on the support it gets from the chest. Breast growth increases rapidly during pregnancy and typically, the size of the breast fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle. During old age, the breasts sag because the ligaments supporting it usually elongates.
Anyway, humans are the only animals in the kingdom animalia which has breasts that are permanently swollen, even when not lactating. Because of this, several studies have been made to find out the other functions of the breasts, more commonly known in the streets as big tit. According to scientists, animals mate when their partners are ovulating. Most animals know this because of the swollen breast of the female. For humans, this is also the same. Males find women with big boobs more attractive because it is associated with ovulation. Now for other primates, they usually have rear-entry copulation, thereby the basis for attractiveness is usually the buttocks. I know, rear-entry can also be done by humans, but of course, this wouldn’t get the woman pregnant. Since sex is a basic instinct created by nature to propagate our species, we need to reproduce. It is said that the breast is the frontal counterpart of the buttocks, and due to our upright posture, humans are more likely to copulate face to face, or the position we know as missionary. This meant that because sex needed a face on encounter, the partners needed to develop a relationship which goes beyond the sexual one. Now of course these are the rantings of a woman whose breast size has always been smaller than the average.
In 1986, the dream of many boob-men in the world came true with the publication of Juggs, a softcore pornography magazine. The magazine’s name was actually the slang term for breasts. The magazine is still being printed today but there are other alternatives that replaced it in our modern world. You have big movie, and big tit porn. You have bouncing tits, big tit Latinas and big tit teens.
Unfortunately, despite the fascination of men in the US for big boobs, there are some cultures which don’t think that it is a worthy area of study. Breasts were seen as natural as writers and painters refer to it time and time again without any qualms on the subject. According to studies, however, not all men, prefer big tits, the best size is always described as “small, white, round like apples, hard, firm and wide apart.”
