Hobby lobby hiring near me

I (35f) can’t help but feel there is something fundamentally wrong with me, since adulthood I have always lived pay check to pay check and can’t seem to break the cycle despite my salary increasing 50% over the past year. Although this seems a lot on paper in reality I was underpaid for a longtime and only just above minimum wage. My current salary is by no means big bucks but it doesn’t feel like we are walking the tightrope anymore. There just always seems to be something unplanned present itself and every month I am waiting for payday. Below are our current income/expense, I currently budget monthly and although there seems to be a large amount of disposable income we just don’t seem to be feeling the benefit. We have no savings and with a child this is keeping me awake at night. It makes me feel physically sick when I see it in black & white, I just can’t understand how we blow through this amount of money in a month with absolutely nothing to show for it! No savings, no holidays, no new car, it just feels like we can keep our heads above water & that just can’t be right!!

All I wanted to do today was spend some time in the company of a friend or fellow human being. A mix of chatting, listening to music or perhaps binge watch a series. It would be great in person but online would also be fine as we could have streamed the series.
One friend is not feeling well, so that is a no can do.
I check the 3 contacts on my phone. Great, one of them must have changed their number. One is not responding to text messages. The other did reply to my suggestion with just "Nah, cba." (Can't Be Arsed) I insist that you do not try to think of an excuse to let me down gently.
The next option use Reddit to find someone, what a joke as no one is interested in any form of contact with a male my age.
The final option is Discord and one of the servers set up for like minded people looking to make friends. Some of the servers have sections specifically for meeting others and enjoying music or series together with another person or small group.
I started trying at 10 am and it is now very nearly 3 pm. In those 5 hours I have not found a friend or a human being that is interested in chatting, music, watching a series or any combination of the three.
Is it just bad luck? Is it just bad timing? Is it too shorter notice? or perhaps it is just me?
I.
GIVE.
UP.

My dad (40 M) abandoned me (15F) and my mom (42F) when I was 1 year old.
When I was born, my name was supposed to be Sofia, and my mom and dad both agreed, but when my dad went to declare me, he declared me as Masha. Masha is the russian version of Maria.
So when my dad abandoned us, my mom wanted to divorce him, since the government considered her as a married woman living with her husband and double income so she had no help and had to pay everything full price. But, to divorce someone, you need to know their address. Since he was nowhere to be found, and didnt answer to the phone, my mom hired a private detective to find out his address.
Fast forward to 2/3 years later, we find out his address, and my mom gets a divorce. After the divorce, my mom has full custody of me. He never visits, never calls, and doesn’t pay child support. A few years later, he sues my mom because he gets scared that she would sue him for not paying child support. He tells the judge that he can’t afford child support and is struggling (he lives at the beach and is an architect) so the judge says that he can pay less child support (went from around 200€ to 100€), and he pays a few times and then stops again.
When I was 7, my mom found a new man, thats absolutely wonderful, and we moved to France because my mom wanted a good future for me. My dad sues my mom for kidnapping. He loses the lawsuit. I live a great life and fulfilling childhood. I see him once a year, in summer vacation. I have fun at the beach, but he’s almost never there and goes drinking with his buddies in pubs.
Last summer, I didn’t go there, I don’t remember the reason though. My grandma forces me to call him (she has been blaming me and guilt tripping me for my whole life for never calling him) and his wife answers, and talks to me and I hear him in the background telling his friends about how I am such an ungrateful and mean brat, and how he’s the victim in that situation.
Last year, his wife got pregnant. He writes to me on Instagram and tells me about her pregnancy. He tells me that she will be called Sofia. The daughter is born on the 6/7th month. She dies. My dad has a new daughter a bit after, and he messaged me a few weeks ago that his new daughter will be called Maria. The wife will give birth in august.
Why is he doing this? What does this mean? How am I supposed to react?

I live with my dad right now and i'm twenty years old my dad is fifty years old. I started living with him months ago, before that i lived with my mom( they divorced). I moved here, for college. I didn't know how my dad lived until I started the living with him. He lost his costumers at his jobr during covid, so he drinks beer and whisky every day. But i think he's been addicted to beer since i was little. I remember how he talked about how he drinks 1,2 beer everyday to help him sleep. But every since I have started living with him, I realized that he not only drinks beer but other alcohols too.(really strong)-EVERYDAY. He sometimes works and get some money and then work it out somehow.problem is not with problem but his state of mind, and health. I see how drunk he is all the time. He doesnt remember what i talked with him while he was drunk- when he gets sober. He is almost like that every night- drink all night, sleep all day. I couldn't see him like this, so one day, I hid his drinks and tried to stop him. He went without alcohol for like 2 days, and he was shaking- and throwing up the whole time. He said if he drink beer, the throwing up will stop down- and drank again- after 2 day. Another day, he passed out in the pathroom, i called emergency... but then he said he was ok and didnt need to go hospital. Since then, i always worry what happens if he pass out alone... He usually say the reason he is drinking is because he doesn't have anything else to do, and when i say him to get a job- he says there is no one to hire him cuz he's 50. He didn’t even search for job, just straight out say no. I told him to at least drink less, and asked him how does he think about his drinking problem. He says he knows he is drinking too much, but i dont think he has a mind to stop. If it was just beer(like when i was little) i wouldnt have worried this much. But he is drinking whisking bottle by bottle and acts like he has demntiq. I dont know what to do to stop him. I told my mom, and she said it will never be solved and she had nothing to do with him. She told me to let just him be, but i cant.
What should i do??? Help me!!
Tldr: seeing my dad alcohol addicted and no help- made me question about my college too, i cant even concentrate on my school. Im worried of him. He need to realize and stop, any siggestions or similar cases??

Hi,
Bit of background: I am a German citizen with permanent resident status in the US, but do not hold dual citizenship. I’ve been living in the US since the late nineties. I just got back into fencing after a long hiatus. I am thoroughly enjoying it and am entertaining the idea of entering some local tournaments. Some of the ones I’ve been eyeing require a USFA Competitive Membership.
Since I’m a foreign national, I would need to sign up for a USFA International Competitive License, correct?
Is ICL the proper way for me to fence at some local, sanctioned events? I don’t think I need to worry about nationals or competing at an international level. I’m nearly 48 and essentially a complete novice. But it feels weird to “rep” my home country since I never fenced in (or for) Germany, since I didn’t take up the sport until years after I moved to the US. I’m not a member of the German equivalent of the USFA either.
Thanks in advance!

I find myself dreaming of her nearly every night when I go to sleep. Sometimes it’s about from when we were together. Other times it’s about what’s going on now. The most recent was me confronting her about the guy she had an affair on me with. I wake up and each time I’m absolutely crushed. I still love and miss her. I want to work on things but she is just so cold and has been for awhile now. Divorce in progress.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to make these dreams stop?

The feeling of having to repeat the same mundane tasks over and over again, it is way too repetitive and having events that are sometimes recycled or a event that lasts this long isn't helping much (7 WC wins weekly.)
This is my daily routine.
-Log on, open free packs. -AFK farm 10 games on manager mode -Clear 3 Daily training quests -Play a ton of event matches on auto, UCL/TOTS event. (I don't event play challenge mode anymore because auto isn't reliable) -log off for the rest of the day.
Modes that I don't play/with reasons.
-League tours, the league tour players have not changed for God knows how long, what even is the point besides trading for gold/elite players for fodders, but then again my players are all max level.
-WC event, 7 auto wins on easy mode sounds easy on paper, but 1 win takes roughly 20+mins on pure auto without tapping to skip replays etc. That is a resounding hours of your day just leaving your phone aside to play.
-Challenge mode, I used to like challenge mode as it gives resources like skill boosts, but having played UCL Challenge mode several times, it took a toll on me and I just got so bored of it and besides, I have never ever packed a decent player from challenge mode packs. Period.
-VSA and H2H, coming from someone who has hit FC3 on both these modes, I find it pointless to further grind up the ladder, I'd admit I'm not a good player, in fact I'm below average, I barely made it to FC3 amongst all the cross spammers and skill spammers, but with all the latest updates such as 115 OVR icons, VSA is damn near impossible for a 130 OVR to survive in FC3 VSA anymore. As for H2H, we all know how "script" can screw with your matches along with me not being a good player, it's just a combo I do not want to try.
What are your thoughts? Are you feeling the same way?

As the title says it can be rough finding new friends as an adult (at least for me). It seems almost all my friends are work friends. I spend too much time at work as it is so I’d like to make some new friends separate from my work life. I hoping to meet some new genuine people… so I came to reddit.. call me naive if you must lol
Here’s a little about me and some of my hobbies/interests so you can see if you think we’d click or not:
I’m what I’ve been told is called an ambivert which is basically and extroverted introvert lol. I enjoy spending time with people, going out and doing things but I also need my me time and equally enjoy being alone doing my own thing. I’ve been told I’m a good listener and I have a decent amount of life experience so if you need someone to talk to I can be your guy. I love to laugh and have a fairly dark sense of humor. I’m a fairly open person and don’t get offended easily so I’m open to talking about mostly anything.
As far as hobbies/interests go….I’m basically a nerd who also likes outdoor activities. I enjoy video games, D&D, Star Wars, LOTR, some Anime, Marvel, DC and various other fandoms. I also play guitar, write a little of my own music for fun, cooking going to the gym/running, hiking, kayaking and camping.
Thanks for reading all that I hope to hear from you! :)

Once her friends caught up with her, Kazue spent the rest of the afternoon with them in the library, taking some time to pull Gako and Tia aside to thank them for their thoughtfulness in trying to include her in their forming group, then gave each of them a ‘thank you’ kiss, which was the sort of kiss she’d been making sure Mordecai and Moriko were OK with as a one-time event.
After that, she escorted them through the fifth floor where the cavern had been opened up and laganthros were designing and laying out ideas for mushroom-based buildings. Most of the group loved the idea, though one of them had to admit she was a little put off by mushrooms and other fungi. Still, they all had their own ideas for quests and challenges, and Kazue was happy to note them all down.
By the time they got to the central room, the other group was long since occupied, so the party that followed involved seven young kitsune women entertaining themselves by harmlessly flirting with one ancient dungeon core. Wise and experienced he might be, but Mordecai was at a disadvantage here and gracefully conceded to any defeats in the verbal sparring. The flirting only went so far of course, and Kazue was the only one allowed to seat herself in his lap, but all were entertained until it was time to get the now thoroughly inebriated shrine maidens off to their room for the night.
The two cores then spent the rest of the night and well into the next morning finishing up their plans for the fifth floor. When their guests had all recovered and had a chance to eat, they were presented with their prizes, starting with all of them being presented with the now standard reward of the enchanted honey potions.
The shrine maidens had already collected some herbs, a few pretty but low-value gems, and various scrolls as well as a starter spellbook that had been thoroughly claimed. For the group as a whole Kazue presented shrine maiden outfits embroidered with themes of dragons, foxes, and rabbits, and enchanted with some simple comfort and mild environmental protection enchantments. These would be gifted to all Azeria clan shrine maidens who made it through the dungeon, though that was going to be a more difficult task over time. They were also granted some individual items: an internally expanded bag, a hat that can alter one’s appearance through illusions, a cloak that would help one blend into shadows if they were trying to hide, boots to make one more agile and give an occasional burst of speed, and a scarf enchanted to enhance dance performances with minor illusions. The one who had her shiny spellbook already had a special gift of her own.
For the warrior party Mordecai started with the shield maidens, gifting them with reinforced shields backed by runes to increase their sturdiness. Their old shields had been rather badly damaged in the earlier fights, and they had already picked up some cold iron and silvered swords on the third floor. The spear maiden was presented with a longspear made of rowan and tipped with a mithral head. The rune it bore would allow it to pierce even creatures not entirely on this plane, This mostly meant undead of various sorts, but there were other sorts of phantasmal creatures that had limited physical presence.
The huntress accepted the gift of a long-barreled gun after trying it out. Mordecai had modified the design of the pistol for a longer, longer gun based on descriptions and a little bit of experimentation, though he wasn’t sure if this was similar to the ‘muskets’ others had discussed. It couldn’t fire as fast as her bow and it had some other trade-offs that would make it a situational weapon for her, but new options were always good.
The mage was happy with her collection of scrolls and was intending to copy them to her spellbook when she had a chance, so the final presentation was a staff for the priest. While not quite as enthusiastic a number as what Kazue’s mother had gotten, it gave him an additional selection of healing and curative spells at his command each day.
Once everyone had said their goodbyes and departed, the two of them turned their attention back toward Moriko, who was getting ready for her royal dinner.
.
Moriko was feeling much better than she had the other day when she first went to visit mistress Ula. The visit with the princesses had helped allay her fears about the court, though they had let her know that court could be that bad, which was part of the point of having her come to a private dinner first, to establish that Moriko did have allies. No matter how noble the ancestry or enlightened a nobility, there was always someone who craved more power and felt threatened by newcomers.
Those who had risen to a basic lordship by being Marked were more insulated both by the nature of the favor they bore and by the fact that they tended to not be very political. Moriko was a more complicated situation, and thus inherently political if for no other reason that someone would insist on seeing her that way.
But that wasn’t anything she was going to have to deal with tonight. So for the moment she focused on getting ready, which included posing and moving under Ula’s directions once more as the woman made sure the dress fit properly.
Moriko had thought that the dress was what was going to make her most self-conscious this evening. She hadn’t accounted for the foundational garments that the princesses had insisted upon. It wasn’t like they were going to check or anything, but Moriko was convinced they would somehow know if she didn’t follow instructions in this matter. A fancy dress required that every layer be just as special.
And it wasn’t like Moriko wore dowdy undergarments or anything, but these felt like being naked would actually be more modest. And knowing how to pick such items out was not a skill she had expected of proper princesses. Though a couple of them were married…
Well, she’d at least be able to put them to good use when she got home. The thought made her smirk, partly because of the realization that the default of ‘home’ really had shifted in her head. It was nice, and that was a thought she shared with her husband and wife as she felt their presences focus on her. They were always in the back of her mind somewhere, but it was nice feeling them pay more attention to her. “Guests are gone I take it?”
The affirmation came with some images showing Moriko all the prizes that had been won, and she couldn’t help but smile more at Kazue’s excitement. Ula eyed her then snorted. “If I didn’t already know you were a newlywed, that smile would give it away. I can’t decide if the ability to hear a man’s thoughts would be more of a blessing or a curse, but you sure seem happy about it.”
Moriko found herself blushing, which caught her off guard. How did these women make her feel so damn young? It was like she was a teenager again. Mordecai whispered into her mind “That’s called being in love dear.”
To be fair, she hadn’t been actually in love before, however much she loved many of the people in her life. Still, she felt that his reply deserved a toothless mental growl, then she turned her attention back to getting ready. There wasn’t much to do at this point really, but it was hard not to fuss. At least some of her accessories could double as fidgets. Carrying a handbag was weird though.
Finally, the carriage arrived to take her off to the castle, and she got to sit back and take in the view of the city center. The center of the city was built upon a large, gradual hill, topped by the royal castle. Surrounding that were various other estates, some of them belonging to the royal family, some to other nobility.
It was here that the mix of various styles of architecture was thrown into starkest contrast. With what she now knew, it was clear that there was technically a ‘native’ style and an ‘introduced’ style. The history from before Kuiccihan had been founded had always been a little vague, but that two or more cultures had been thrown together was clear, no doubt the result of the heroes and armies that had responded to the emergency resulting from Mordecai’s actions. And the center of the city had been built when things were less harmonious, recovering from a thousand years of nothing bigger than a city-state being stable.
It was a somewhat depressing image, but also hopeful. They’d managed to come together eventually after all. She dwelled on those thoughts until the carriage finally reached the entrance she’d be using before being brought to the main hall. The Seneschal and a couple of maids still had to decorate her properly with the royal jewelry that had been selected for her.
This brought up a piece of advice that had come from Mordecai, not the princesses, and Moriko could see why they didn’t mention it. She should make sure to verbally appreciate all of the jewelry, but praise the piece that she liked the most a little more. As a first-time diplomatic guest in good favor, there was a strong chance that the king and queen would choose to gift her with one piece of what she was currently being bedecked with. Of course, choosing a single item was going to be difficult, they were all dazzling, and she was somewhat reluctant to accept any gift of that sort, they all had to be expensive and have some history associated with them. She didn’t need any guidance to tell her that while initial resistance was expected, she wasn’t actually supposed to refuse.
When the seneschal was satisfied, she was escorted to the entrance of the main hall, where she was to wait a moment to be properly introduced.

F26 I’ve had a huge burn out spiral coming from two weeks ago at work and being on my period. It’s gotten worse and I called off Friday, and slept off an on the past few days. Leaving the house is a struggle. Unless I’m near my family, even then.
I keep feeling overwhelmed that I’m not where I want to be with my life , that it’s pointless and hopeless and the worst part is the DRDP, I keep wondering am I even real, is what’s around me real and that’s the most distressing part. I know I’m real but I feel so disconnected from myself like I’m a robot ect. I’ve also felt so distressed I’ve had thoughts I normally wouldn’t have.
I have one more week of work, and I want to just call in, but I don’t want to get in trouble or lose my job. then I have a vacation with my family for two weeks yet I’m terrified of ruining it by having this crippling anxiety or afraid I’ll make a fool out of myself .

I got suspended for the last days nearing summer break because I made a really REALLY stupid decision and took an edible right before classes started. The school wants me back, and I’ve gotten support from family/friends saying I just gotta let it go and move on. And others are saying, “there’s gonna be consequences”.
So what exactly are the consequences and/or will I be okay?

This tale comes from when I was working Night Audit in a busy hotel, on the outskirts of a small city, about 8 years ago.
It’s a sold-out night, I have one room left with one check-in, marked with a late arrival flag so we know the guest is arriving after 2am and late shift have already spoken to the guest. Overbooking off, and our local ring-round also verifies that the area is sold out too. This is going to be a perfect fill so I’m happy and my night porter is cracking on with the rounds.
It’s 2:15am and I’m just about to run the night audit when in walks “Karen”. She states her name, slaps down a credit card and asks to be checked in quickly. Immediately alarm bells are ringing as it’s not the name of the last arrival I have on the list. I ask her the normal questions;
1) Is the reservation booked under another name? 2) Do you have your booking confirmation to hand?
She looks at me as if I’d suddenly grown an extra head, asks if I’m stupid and pushes her credit card further towards me across the desk.
Me: I’m really sorry madam but I don’t have a record of your reservation for tonight and the hotel is sold out. If you don’t have a confirmation number to hand I can’t check you in as I don’t see a verified reservation for you.
Karen: I have a booking, it’s been made months ago and I paid a deposit. I just want to be checked in.
Me: OK. Let me run your card and see if I can find any payments - was this the card you prepaid the booking on?
Karen: rolls her eyes
Me: Runs card. Sorry Madam but I’m not finding any payments associated with this card for previous or upcoming reservations. Are you sure you booking is for this hotel as there are two other hotels of the same brand with similar names in the city.
Karen: I always stay here. The reception manager knows me and takes care of my bookings personally.
Me: Madam, I am the FOM, and I believe this is the first time I am making your acquaintance. And when I pull your information up I’m not seeing any data which means you haven’t had a reservation with us in the past three years. Are you sure you have booked this specific location?
This interaction is continued back and forth for almost 25 minutes and her attitude is nonchalant with the occasional eye rolls, huffs and puffs. She’s texting the entire time. By this time I’ve accessed the chains dreadful central reservations system and searched other local properties res list which are showing she doesn’t have bookings there. The last arrival has also turned up with her kid in tow, and is sat on our lobby sofa watching the entertainment. I’ve already paged my porter to discreetly check-in the waiting guest so not as to antagonise Karen who is scarily quiet, and I’m just waiting for her to explode.
Finally, she slams her entire tiny purse on the counter and exclaims my stupidity. She claims to have paid a 50% deposit, that the reception manager always handles her reservations personally and that I’m a complete and total moron. By this point the other guest comes back down for a smoke and is laughing watching this crazy person just loose her shit. I let her meltdown entirely and when she’s run out of steam I suggest that I can book her a room at the only available hotel in a 20 mile radius however as she doesn’t have a valid booking with me; she would need to pay the rate at the hotel direct and then contact us with her proof of booking and I assured her that she will get a free refund and a comp week booking with spa treatments if she has the proof of reservation, and I’m wrong. Off she eventually toddles to the waiting BMW that’s been idling the entire time she’s been here, I make the reservation for her at the new hotel and write out a brief handover log.
In walks the late arrival guest who’s been smoking and enjoying the free entertainment, she slaps down a brand new 20-pack of Marlboros, winks at me and says looks like you need these, pats me on the arm and heads off to bed.
I was off for the next two days, came back and caught up with the GM; apparently she never arrived at the booked out hotel, didn’t come back to us and no one knows who she is. It still baffles me to this day what her game plan was and where she went…

Everything begin with in late-2019, where I first installed Instagram with my sister's advice. And I become the most annoying person imaginable. I logged every day and created multiple accounts (about Harry Potter frachise btw). My grades were so low but all I did was ridicule everyone thats not has the same opinion as me. That become worse when quarantine began. I was even more critically online and even more bully. My sister were born in mid-quarantine and she cried evertime she saw me. Because I WASN'T talk to her. My sister didn't knew me and I didn't do anthing for fix it. I didn't read a single book at the time. Still I was telling myself, I am not like these people because I read the Harry Potter books. And I was huge asshole to anyone who liked Snape/disliked Ginny (my former role model). And I didn't even thought, I was hurting people I never met because of fictional charcters. Then It came Tumblr then Reddit then Twitter then Wattpad even Pinterest.They are bad as you can imagine. I wasn't huge film buff at the time. I prefered tv shows. I always acted I am better and smarter than these people because of my opinions. Then I read themes of racism/feminisim/homophobia and I refered myself as an ally after reading some texts. I even called a Snape fan sexist incel for it. And I also thought being non-white/woman/LGBT+ makes you cooler. My eyes got even worse (I use glasses). My brain melted. I was angry all the time. I argued with my parents all the time. And After reading a text in tumblr. I told them narcisstis. I wasn't going library like I used to. I acted like going outside talk to other people is the worst thing ever. I wasn't talking with my friends. Me, My sister, and our common friend used to be go to the a lady's house in every saturday. She is a former math teacher also really sweet lady. I somehow passed the school and got my grade. I had to wait like 3 months to make a internship but with a little paycheck. I was in home. I was deleted majority of social media sites but still was so online and depressed on reddit. I was a member of moviescirclejerk (literally worst place you can imagine). I hated Marvel movies even I didn't watched majority of them. And I thought liking older (I mean with older is 70s -90s not that older) movies that made me smarter. Or liking movies made by women/minorities made me better (I am a woman btw) And I discovered letterboxd with that way. People generally my age/same taste as me. I was excited. I made an account started looking. I even one-linear's funny at the time (earlier 2023). I also checked out this subreddit. Attidude against some people in both this subreddit and letterboxd made me realize It was reflection of former me. This was the time, I realized, I legit trashed 2-3 years of my life with being snob and getting angry at people who meant nothing to me. This was the time that I knew, I needed a change.
Thankfully I began my intership at the time. Now I working there with 3 months at there. And I have a healthy relationship with my family and I spend more time with my baby sister who is literally 3 now. I still faithfully watch movies in generally twice a week. I started to reading books again. And I go sports nearly every day. Today My family and I have a plan to go plantation to pick up strawberries. And without you guys, that would never would happen. So Thank you very much.

Whataburger has had the absolute best crispy onion ring batter for many years. Last couple of weeks at least 3 locations near me have switched to onion rings with a crunchy, granulated, Burger King like batter. What gives?! i want my crispy onion rings back PLEASE!

I see a ton of people complaining about exfil camping, toxic squads, and so on. I played several games over the last few days, and really didn’t run into too much issues.
Most of my games I would start off solo. A majority of the time if I came in contact with a squad, the players were actually really cool. I had 2 different squads take me out, allow me to join them, and they gave me more equipment than I already had. Not everyone is out to just kill you or take your stuff. Other players can be assets if you allow them to be.
The only issue I faced recently is an enemy squad firing on me first, I squad wipe, and they want mercy to stay in the game. I personally have a rule that if you take anyone out on my squad or you relentlessly give chase, I’m ending your deployment. You can plea and beg all you want, but all your equipment is now mine/ours. Also, if you state you’re friendly, but keep shooting at someone, you will get put down. You aren’t fooling anyone, and I get your “tactic”, however don’t expect to be spared. It’s like the old saying, “play screwed up games, win screwed up prizes.” I wish there was a way to mark these players as traitors, that way anyone in that lobby can see it. Kind of like a weapon case, but one you can’t get off until the game is over. On the other side of things, don’t expose yourself to someone claiming friendly unless they accept or send a squad invite.
Personally, I hate engaging other teams, but it is also part of the game mode. Just know if you make poor decisions, they can be met with consequences you may not like. No need to be toxic or hateful, just play the way you like. I’m not a fan of six man squads, but again, sometimes DMZ giveth, and sometimes DMZ taketh away. :)
