Used to work at a nearby Amazon warehouse with a rather sizeable Somali population. It was widely known we had issues keeping translators because when a Somali would get disciplined (not exactly an uncommon thing, more than a few of them would rather sit and chat with their buddies when they didn't think anyone was looking) the translators would get threatened.
Yea we're just south of Louisville KY and the forecast keeps getting worse every time I look at it. Right now we're forecasted 7-13 inches. Oh and the 17th (there's that number again) was the anniversary of the infamous '94 snowstorm that dumped 15-18 inches of snow here. We're pretty well stocked here I might stop on the way home to grab another bottle of bourbon, just in case, ya know :)
I wish I could say I'm surprised by this but ... Used to work at an Amazon warehouse with a sizeable Somali population, we had a hell of a time keeping translators cause whenever a Somali was disciplined for anything they would actually threaten the translators.
Gross. My husband is a Navy veteran working as 911/dispatch for Fort Knox. Their office is short staffed by FIVE people at the moment, as of late he's been working six, sometimes 7 days a week on a shift he really can't stand (second, since I work first we're basically two ships passing in the night) He and his coworkers don't deserve photo ops and bonuses? Bullshit.
Last count I saw was 9 dead, 15 wounded another 16 unaccounted for. Kept getting notifs last night on my phone about it as we are only about a half hr drive south of Louisville, our hometown. Finally breathed a small sigh of relief once a couple of high school classmates who work there checked in on FB that they were ok but it's still a hell of a gut punch to have this happen here.
Rough night here in my hometown of Louisville KY. We live about 20 miles south of the airport, shelter in place notifs have been lighting up my phone all night. Latest report is 4 dead, 11 injured. Shelter in place is a 1 mile radius around the airport. JCPS (Jefferson County Public Schools) and University of Louisville have cancelled classes tomorrow. With this being UPS's largest hub in the WORLD, this could possibly really mess up the supply chain. Pray for my hometown please. We could sure as hell use it.
Hello all, long time lurker haven't posted/commented in a while. Happened across this on another forum I frequent, freerepublic dot com and wanted to share it here. I am by no means a Q expert but I've been reading when I can, just wanted to know what others thought of this.
Dad told me once he wanted to live long enough to piss on her grave (he was drafted in 63, did two yrs Stateside) He just turned 82 this past Nov and besides a bad back and high blood pressure, he's still in decent shape and of sound mind. I fervently hope he and all of the other vets still around can make that VERY long line to her grave.
I post more than I comment, didn't realize that was against some super secret rules here. Reading your comment history you feel that this is a hoax and you're incredibly insulting to people you feel have not been on this board long enough for your liking. If you have such a problem with these threads then stay away from them and focus your attention elsewhere.
Been an absolute shit day here. We live just south of Louisville, our hometown. My husband used to be a 911 calltaker for the city and we have family that work in the city. This was the first of two shootings in the city today, the second one was about 10 blocks away. We are reeling and more than a little tired of the stupid we're hearing (LMPD said it was a "rifle" in their 3pm press conference and my husband about had a coronary when he heard CNN in my doctor's office say 'AR style rifle')
This happened less than 30 miles from our house. Our hometown is reeling today. Please pray for this young officer Louisville Metro Police Officer Nickolas Wilt, who is fighting for his life, was shot in the head as he ran towards gunfire during mass shooting at downtown bank 26 yrs old, he was sworn in as an officer 11 days ago.
My home state of KY is fuckin weird. Yea we are red technically, we went for Trump in 2016 and 2020, but we have Dandy Andy (Andy Beshear) a Dem governor who was all for the lockdowns and masks and all of that happy horseshit. (the last gov, a Repub, went up against the teachers union and got his ass handed to him) Louisville and Lexington, our two largest cities and longtime lib strongholds, were all about the BLM marches till about late spring/early summer 2021.
My hometown of Louisville KY, still recovering from the Breonna Taylor riots, things aren't getting better, they're getting worse. We have an interim police chief (the last one, the lady that was police chief in ATL during the Rayshard Brooks shooting and aftermath? Yea she stepped down when we got a new mayor. Oh and guess the mayor party! If you said Democrat, DING DING DING)
announcement on Twitter They're saying it was a very recent case of bacterial meningitis. He was just touring recently (he and Johnny Depp were just here in Louisville KY this past Oct) and was featured on the title track of Ozzy Osbourne's most recent album Patient Number 9

Graduated high school in 1995. the Clintons hit the scene during that time and I about drove a classmate of mine nuts cause his family was old school Dem and practically worshipped them, I got a "bad read" off of them immediately and couldn't imagine what people saw in them. No woke crap in our schools, hell there was a Ten Commandments poster in my Typing room class, guarantee you don't see THAT in schools today.
For the non-sportsball people here please allow me to explain cause this IMO is HUGE in sports world: Soldier Field where Chicago plays now is the oldest stadium in the NFL, opened in 1924. They've been playing there longer than I've been alive (they started there in 1971 and I'm a Bicentennial baby) It is also the smallest stadium at 61,500 capacity, there are college football stadiums that hold more than that, some that hold over 100k. It's going to be a very sad day for football fans who have grown up watching DA BEARS in Solder Field when it no longer rocks on Sundays and to see their team leave the state? even worse.
