Yes -17C is really cold in late fall (winter coats), and really warm in early spring (t-shirt... honest!) Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

Well, that depends on if I have another bag, and where I would have to take it, wouldn't it. As I mentioned, I never had this problem because trash was emptied nightly or every other night where I worked. Honestly, most places I worked I wouldn't have a clue where to put it anyway. There was a larger recycling bin I could take my recyclables to if needed (beside the network printer station...) That was required maybe a handful of times in all my years, mainly if I had needed to print out a large section of code to make notes on while I debugged a bug.

My husband's ex dated his brother for a time.... (so my step-kid's mom was dating their uncle). There is all sorts of stuff like this when you do geneaology. In my genealogy.... Tom 1 has sister Ellen. Tom 2 was married to Elizabeth and has daughter Sarah. Would have to check the order of events, but Tom 1 marries Sarah, and Elizabeth dies and Tom 2 marries Ellen. So Tom 2 is Brother-in-law to Tom 1 but is also his son-in-law etc. There is also, far back enough that it was legal, cases of first cousins marrying. (The lady's last name did not change...) Double First Cousins are nothing. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

Right. That was a decision made by the owners of the company and told to the staff. The company owners are choosing to pay their staff to clean. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

Society is a lot kinder? Not sure where you live, but that is not generally the case.

You with the lips!

Ok, shall I ever work in an office that is cleaned so infrequently, I shall remember to keep a stack of my own garbage bags so that I can change my own garbage. Sorry if my opinion that my employers pay me to do one job and pay someone else to do another and that I should not waste their money by doing the other persons job when I should be doing mine, does not match your opinion that that indicates a lack of value felt for the person that does that job. I highly value them. I try not to make extra work on cleaners or other people. I will clean up a mess. Until I had to use a cane, I cleaned up my table at fast food restaurants and took the tray and garbage to the can (now I clean up as best I can but I often can't take the tray and garbage away.) I did my best to clean under the chair where my toddlers had eaten in restaurants. But there are some situations that my job is my job and it is not appropriate for me to do someone else's job.

Only -25C here today. It was -40 C or F) on Christmas Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

Can I say that I suspect you have not experienced -50..... (I have)

True.... but some kids when hurt are very good at making it look like they don't care.

I am telling you what your own words say about your beliefs on this. I am not the only person that has noted it. I am not going through the thread and quoting the examples that display that attitude as others have previously and you denied it still. I don't know if you have fooled yourself or what. But that attitude comes through loud and clear. If it is truly not your belief then you should reread your words and figure out why you say the things you do because that is the message you give to the world. No matter how often you deny It, your words are a product of your thoughts and attitudes. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

I am sure you tell yourself that but your words indicate that you do see it as a character issue. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

So you read It, but don't believe what it said. Sad. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

Very beautiful. Very touristy. A few fun things to do..... swim at Banff Hot Springs. Go on a tour of the nearby glacier. Skiing if there is still snow when you plan to go. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

My step-kids' grandma (Oma) is like that. Always greatly favoured the one grandchild. Occasionally the favoured one would do something Oma didn't like and another would be the favoured one for a short period, but it would revert to the first. Hard to watch. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

Please reread the article.

We had a great Christmas until late that night when within 10 minutes half the house was getting sick (and we only have one bathroom.... sigh). Fortunately I wasn't one of them, although my stomache did do a couple of flips.) So I suspect food poisoning with the turkey. And we usually eat leftovers on Boxing day and often the 27th... and then soup. But of course we are throwing all leftovers away... so there went our cheap and easy meals for the week....

I have tried it a couple of times. I think it is one of those things that once everyone is in the routine of using it, it is great.... but I had trouble keeping up with the tickets. And you nedd to make sure they aren't doing a 'ticket activity' without a ticket. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

Absolutely my thought. Once a week is not often enough in an office. Most offices I worked in was nightly or every other night. Worst was 2x a week. I have done office cleaning. I have also had jobs working in an office. If my garbage can was overfowing, if I had access to bags I would have tied the bag and put beside it IF I had access to a replacement bag. If not, then not sure what I would have done because... no bags. I wouldn't expect it to happen on a regular basis because our offices were cleaned often. But I could see it at Christmas time maybe. Cleaning services came with the office. It was paid for. I wouldn't try to make it harder on the cleaning staff, but I'm not going to spend my time doing their job either. I was being paid to program computers. Wouldn't it be wrong to expect my employer to pay for cleaning services (part of rent) as well as pay for time I spent cleaning instead of doing my job? Yes, if I spilled something I would clean it up. I never had access to utility rooms, so I would use paper towels. I did recognize the mop as usually used as a dust mop. I think the person made a reasonable mistake and at least cleaned the spill. If they knew the fuss about it, they would likely just not bother to clean another spill because their previous efforts were met with a fuss. I assume that they do not know about this fuss though. Marking the mop as for use on dry floors only is a simple solution. I am assuming the extra garbage in the kitchen was from either a Christmas party or someone cleaning out the fridge, and therefore an annoying, but only an occasional problem. If it is a regular issue, it is a symptom of the 1x a week cleaning being an inadequate frequency, but might be rectified by a larger container or more containers. But honestly a 1x a week cleabing schedule is too infrequent. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

The thing is.... When I am online I generally do not pay much attention to who is saying what. It just isn't something that even registers with me usually. This is the case on here, on other boards I am on, and even mostly on facebook. That said, occasionally I start to recognize a particular person's style or voice, and when I recognize that a post is by that person I check the name and I start to recognize that person's posts. But I don't look at who wrote the posts unless I have that recognition. I am starting to "recognize" Scarlett. Not immediately, but in a thread after a few posts by her I will be reading and it sounds familiar and I check. I started reading this thread with no idea who posted it. As I was reading, I was finding myself annoyed basically by the attitude and tone. I had various things to reply, but wanted to see what had already been said. I started seein responses to the commens, then I had the recognition and checked, and yes the thread was by Scarlett. I then didn't bother replying. Just to say... I would have a lot to say about this topic, but we just seem to argue past each other. There is also something about her posts that make me want to comment. I don't think people are trying to jump down her throat. I think people want her to see there is another point of view. And honestly, starting a post insulting someone generally makes me want to rise to their defense.

Absolutely don't throw them out! There are collectors that would love these items (even ones of little value) and would absolutely cry at the thought of the loss. - From someone who has collected coins, stamps, and Scouts Canada items, and others. Find some collector who wants them, or have someone do the work of selling them for a portion of the proceeds and donate the rest of the proceeds to a charity. Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

I have been having my 14yo son use it for not quite a month. The classes vary because of different teachers. It is not rigorous particularly. The format is the student watches a video, then answers questions. Then another video then questions. Homeschool mode, the student must get 70% to proceed... There are extra help videos etc. I can log into the app as a parent and see exactly what he is working on, what he has accomplished for the day, which questions he struggled with, etc. It is working fine so far for my dyslexic son. He has been resisting work previously this year and this has reduced the strain on our relationship. There are some pretty interesting courses. At $9.99/month for up to 6 courses at a time it is a pretty good deal. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk
