  1. My 14 yo gave me a four page list with photos and links, lol. I typically hate lists because it seems so gift grabby, but now that I'm old and getting to burnout stage, and just take a deep breath and start clicking on links. :lol:

    My 15yo gave me a list of literally pieces and parts, wires and attachments. Most of which was less than $12 each. All for video games, camera, phone and computer. I still don’t know what most of it is for as he sat there holding it and explaining it to me. So not only thank god for lists, but in this case, links as well!

  2. Give me a break. All of you with all of this 'not my job crap' . Just stop it.

     

     

     

     

    But it is your job!  Your PAID job! 

     

    They are not paid to do it.  YOU are paid to do. 

     

    They actually pay for cleaning service in their rent.  If they didn't pay for it, then your boss, their landlord would not PAY you to go in and clean for them. 

     

    You are the cleaning lady.  They are the office workers.  You are not doing them a favor.  You may be doing your boss a favor, but you are NOT doing them a favor.  You are doing a service that their office pays for. 

     

    So it again, it is YOUR job, not theirs.

  3. It is a VERY small office. Steps from the kitchen to the utility room. A dozen steps out the front door to the dumpster. But hey, whatever. If they would rather have trash sit next to their desk all week rather than take it to the utility room or the dumpster whatever.

     

    But it isn't like some long trek down several flights of stairs to the cleaning department.

     

     

    Like you said, you only go once a week.  For all you know it filled up that after noon.  And if they tie it up next to the can for you or leave it for you to crush down, the fact of the matter is it is still not their job.  They are employed to do what ever it is that they are employed to do.  You are employed to clean their office.  Would it be nice of them.  Sure.  But it is not their responsibility.  Your boss pays you to go clean his building.  Which means, in their rent, they pay for a cleaning service.  So  if they are paying for it, again, not their job. 

     

     

    And since it is so very close and so very easy to take care of it have you considered their could be a reason.  It is very clear you don't like these people.  If we can see it, and they are there when you come to clean, they can probably see it.  Maybe they don't do it because they figure you don't like them/give them attitude, so they don't do it because they don't like you. Like I said, your job, not theirs, so why make the job of someone that doesn't like them any easier?

  4.  Why would anyone have to spell out, ' if your trash is overflowing during the week, empty it, because the cleaning person comes only once a week.' 

     

    Because they are not the cleaning person.  It is not their job. 

     

    In all my jobs, if the office trash was full, we'd pull it out, tie it up and set it next to the trash can.  Some times there were bags in the bottom of the can othere times not. But we weren't taking the trash out.  That was not any part of our job.  There were paid cleaning people.  Totally different departments.

  5. Does he like root beer?

     

    I got my husband root beer for christmas.

     

    They have a rootbeer of the month club, but that is only six a month and more expensive.

     

    They have 60 and 48 and down variety packs. I fiund the best choice with shippinf was the 12 pack variety packs. Each one was different. I got 4 variety packs so 48 different rbs. I was going to do more but the shipping goes up dramaticly over 48 because you get into the next weight class price.

     

    In the end it worked out to just under $3 a bottle, which is about what we pay for individual rbs when trying all the different brews in new locations. In CA, OH and NY we had a lot more options to pick from then here in TX.

     

    They also have a ‘tasting’ sheet of all their rbs, and you mark off which you tried, rate and comments space. Something we have tried to do in the past as we do our iwn ‘tastings’ but we were never consistent with it. So hopefully this will work better.

  6. I have something like that. I bought it at a physical therapist's office 20 years ago. It works well, but I get a lot of really strange looks when I use it in public.

    I don’t worry about looks in public. I give enough of them I figure it’s fair for freaky people to give them back at me.

  7. Our tree is a fake 6’ tree I bought at the base thrift shop two days after landing in Okinawa. We were still in the hotel. I was at the thrift shop for sonething else and they were having their christmas in July sale so I bought it for $2.50 figuring it would be hard to get a real tree in Okinawa come Dec and I was right! It has served us well over the years and we switch it out with a real one depending on where we are living.

     

    All most all the ornaments wete bought from places we traveled too. The flat pewter, gold or wood kind. We started collecting them when we started ending up with refridgerators that magnets did not stick too. So I guess our theme is places we have been.

     

    There is a father christmas style Santa on top. I grew up with the cheesy light up star, but the agnostic jew husband picked this out. Snce he does all the set up and take down he can have what he wants!

  8. While trolling for xmas gift ideas I saw this thing for back support and thought about it for my mother.  Basically it went aganst your back, and the straps came down and velcroed just below your knees.  Using your own body weight to give it the support to lean against.  It was for things like games watched from hs bleachers and things with now back support.

  9. I don't get the cornmeal stuffing at all.  It tasted funny.  It felt funny.  I'd never heard of it before we moved south.  I grew up with cornbread.  And I'd never heard of cornbread stuff till then.  For years we'd order Thanksgiving dinners from different places and in different states even.  I finally had to start cooking dinner because they all came with cornbread stuffing and broccoli. (Husband can't eat broccoli.)

  10. I love stuffing out of the bird.  And we eat it during the year with both chicken and pork.  Always Stove Top.   There are usually only three of us so Stove Top works great, especially since I think only two of us will eat it. 

     

    I've had had fancy stuffings with oysters, and Italain ones with sausage.  They were fine.  We don't like cornbread stuff which is one of the reasons we stopped ordering Thanksgiving dinners, they usually come with cornbread stuffing so we ended up making Stove Top anyway. 

     

    Years ago I once made it with bag of bread cubes.  I don't remember it being all that exciting or better than Stove Top. 

     

    So if you make stuffing, how do you make it to make it better than Stove Top? 

  11. oh yeah, no stovetop. When I was still married to my ex his sister hosted one year, and did stove top. And cold baked beans. It was terrible. 

     

     

    Cold baked beans or room temp, just out of the can?  We always ate the baked beans just out of the can.  Growing up, pre microwave, I guess we ate them cold in the summer and warmed in the winter.  Once we got a microwave, we'd take the refrigerator chill out of them, but I never like them warm.  Now when we have them I scoop my portion straight out of the can, and then heat the husband's.
