    DON'T BACK DOWN!! She never had any intention of getting a babysitter!! Hold your ground, she is NOT a friend to do this to you. Your Dad and brother are the important ones here, this party is for THEM and about them, not her kids. And she has NO RIGHT to ask about your child, after all, HE...

    Do you tip your mail carrier for the holidays?

    I agree, tipping is waaaay out of hand. There are tip jars at Dunkin Donuts for Pete's sake! What so hard about getting a donut off the shelf that deserves a tip? As far as the mailmen. ...they are government workers and shouldn't expect a tip. *I* am a government worker, and I sure don't...

    Do Atheists need to tip? :confused:

    Trouble with my TPS reports

    But that's not what happens :mad: The slackers just fudge numbers to cover themselves, and tack on the 2 hours they spent yikkity-yakking onto the job they were working on. I see it every day. In fact, the slackers don't even account for the true paperwork time, they falsely assign it all to...

    Trouble with my TPS reports

    Your Federal tax dollars at work..... So today, we were just informed that not only do we have to give a weekly update on how many hours we spent on each job we worked on, we have to break it down by day and hour; and doing what exactly. Of course, management has not given us any digital tool...

    Oh c'mon, somebody's GOTTA mention Tiger!

    Yeah, you're right, that didn't occur to me. I guess because I had the most absolute most wonderful Daddy in the whole wide world. :eek:

    Oh c'mon, somebody's GOTTA mention Tiger!

    It's just disappointing, overall. To be honest, I'm not torn up about it, I never expected anything from him,......I feel bad for his wife, but at least now she knows. It'd be worse to be snickered at for years by all the other women and people keepig it quiet. And the kids are so young....by...

    Oh c'mon, somebody's GOTTA mention Tiger!

    I think when people screw up big time, a bit of public humiliation is a good thing. It might make people think a bit more before before they do things. Tiger doesn't deserve a pass on this one. Maybe if he had given one tiny bit of thought to the circus that he would stir up he would have kept...

    Oh c'mon, somebody's GOTTA mention Tiger!

    OK, it's either this or the health care bill! ;) So far the count is up to 9 mistresses, but even I don't beleive that. Supposedly 3 are confirmed. How could he possibly think this stuff wouldn't come out? It ALWAYS does. And he's not exactly cavorting with rocket scientists either. The...

    number of meals

    Wow, that's amazing. Seriously, that's one hard core accomplishment. :) I'm 48 and it has taken me waaaaaay too long to realize how much I screwed myself up when I was in my 20's and 30's listening to experts. Do what is logical, feels right, and makes sense to you. I mean, if eating and...

    Anyone do their own acrylic nails?

    Carole, yes that does help a lot, thanks! I don't have to have acrylic nails necessarily, just nails! :p I had never before gotten a fungus at this salon, but the regular girl that did them seems to do more management now and less manicures, and now a guy there does them :( My hands look so...

    number of meals

    Oh, I agree! Most Americans nowadays have such a warped idea about what a proper meal and a true serving size is. The monstrous serving sizes in restaurants and fast-food joint are what's to blame, I think (like Cheesecake Factory...yikes--and yummy!) In my personal experience, eating 1800...

    number of meals

    But, no matter what you read from one "expert", you can always find another to dispute it. You just have to go on what works for you. A few months ago I got a lecture and a finger-wagging from the nurse at the doctor's office about how I should be eating 6 meals a day, that skipping breakfast...

    number of meals

    This is me too...I like to treat myself to a nice meal, and will even save my calories for dinner if I know I'm going to have something extra yummy! I don't think our metabolisms are so sensitive that going 4 or even 14 hours sometimes without food will make it spiral downwards. I follow my...

    mountain out of a molehill?other kids making fun of handicapped kids

    I understand your being upset. It's bad enough that the children have to deal with disabilities, and then jerks too. But, for all you know, their parents will also be jerks and not take the news well if you inform them. Or, they will be decent people who could be mortified on the inside, but...

    Happiness and Spending? Sorry, very long.

    Fidget, you mentioned you tried traditional treatment for the acne....did that include Retin-A? Most people think of it now as just a wrinkle treatment, which is a wonderful side effect :D but it was created for acne, and it works exceptionally well. I started using it when I was 28 for just...
