    The nice thing about social media is it makes it quick for employers to weed out people.

    I know someone that can't figure out why they're not getting hired with a certain employer that has been known to look at social media during the hiring process. Yup profile picture is crude vulgar and cover picture is crude and vulgar. I've told this dipwad to change that crap so many times, but they won't listen, because those photos have tons of likes ya know.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    http://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/20...st-new-father-part-his-skull-wife-claims.html

    A woman is claiming that her husband's habit of "excessive energy drink consumption" caused him to suffer the brain hemorrhage that ultimately cost him part of his skull.



    Brianna, who did not reveal her last name, wrote on Facebook that her husband Austin started consuming the energy drinks "when he started working longer hours and commuting," AOL reports.

    The two were also expecting their first child together when Austin suffered the severe medical complication that his doctors blamed on energy drinks, wrote Brianna in a post that has since been .




    “Being pregnant is supposed to be one of the most amazing journeys you will ever embark on,” Brianna wrote. “You're creating a new life. You are experiencing unconditional love for someone you have not even met.”

    Austin's accident happened when Brianna was nine months pregnant, she wrote. She said she went to bed, then woke up to a life-changing scene.


    “I still remember my mother in law waking me up that morning. ‘Austin had an accident,’" she said. "All I knew was that my husband was in the hospital. The worst part? I didn't know why."

    Brianna wrote that her husband had suffered a brain hemorrhage, and says doctors blamed it on “excessive energy drink consumption” after running a toxicology screen and ruling out drugs.

    Austin was already in surgery by the time Brianna and family arrived at the hospital. It wasn’t until nearly five hours later that she got to see her husband, Brianna wrote.

    “The next day was round two of brain surgery. Following this were strokes, seizures, swelling, and more things we weren't prepared for. There was a moment, sitting by his hospital bed, just praying he would be okay, that I knew I would never give up on him. No matter how messy our life would become. I was going to be by his side through all of it."

    Judging by photos shared of Austin and Brianna shared on Endres Photography's Facebook page — which, too, appear to have been removed from the site — doctors had removed part of Austin's skull during his surgeries.

    Brianna, meanwhile, was still unsure of her husband's fate. "After two weeks of living in a hospital, wondering if he would survive or be taken from us, [the family] made our way back home. The time had come for me to deliver our baby.”

    Austin was still in the hospital when Brianna delivered their baby, but she said that “a beautiful miracle happened as I delivered our son. Austin woke up.”

    “I went about a week without seeing him. I thought about him every day. I cried as I looked at my child who looked just like his daddy. When the baby was only a week old, I left him with my in-laws. I knew I needed to see Austin. I needed to tell him that our baby was here,” she said.


    In her final paragraph on Facebook, Brianna wrote:

    “Our life isn't normal. There are doctors visits and hospital trips- so many that I loose[sic] count. But we are here. Fighting. I wake up every day to take care of our beautiful little boy and my husband. I prepare the meals, do physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. I help him with personal hygiene. I help him walk. I help him with every aspect of his life. And in between these tasks I take care of our very busy eight month old. It is hard, and I am tired, but we make the most of it. He isn't the same man I fell in love with, but I still fall further everyday, We are fighting to help him recover. To make his life better.”

    The couple has declined requests for an interview.

    This is purportedly a picture of the happy couple. I'm calling B.S. Looks like a Photo-Chop to me.

    I created my Facebook account using a throw-away email account from Yahoo. Even if a prospective employer was to look up my "real" email address on Facebook they'll never find me. And my last name is so common it's impossible to find me that way either.

    Love the smell of real coffee brewing but don’t like the taste.

    Massive caffeine content. Usually taken without milk or sugar. When out bush it was common to grab a few eucalyptus or gum tree leaves to toss in the billy can.

    I'm the same way with popcorn.

    If it tasted as good as it smells, it would be the dietary equivalent of a threesome with Kate Beckinsale and Olga Katysheva :bananadance:
