H's company is so fucked up. They didn't get paid for January and the GM didn't pay for anyone's monthly parking. BUT instead of telling anyone he went home early on Friday and then called out sick yesterday and today. So no one knew they weren't getting paid which is SO shitty of him. Especially for the young, single guys who don't have a spouse or savings account to fall back on. And the guys all lost their monthly parking spots. Gah! H would do so much better on his own, but he just won't make the leap
Wait, you can just not pay your employees? Oh, that is terrible for everyone, but especially for the employees who live paycheck to paycheck (are they all young, single guys?).
I guess if you don't have the money (they're waiting for a check from they're biggest client) you don't pay. And this has happened before, but the way it was handled this time is so shitty. I feel so bad for the guys who were blindsided (I mean we were too, but we can recover a bit easier).
I've seen pictures of you. I don't think there are any worries here. lol
Ooooo
I'm thinking this might be hot. WHBM - I'm cold natured, so I shy away sleeveless dresses if at all possible. Plus, we've gotta do some walking downtown and I don't know how cold it will be.
I'm dying laughing. Someone asked on one of my FB groups if she should just trade in her car because when she moved states she didn't get new license plates. The license plates have lapsed (since JUNE of last year). Since that complicates things some, her husband said they should just buy a new car.
That's the solution?! Buy a new car?!
Totally not the same, but your conversation with downtoearth reminded me of a co-worker who moved here from Los Angeles. On her first day of work, we had the following conversation:
Me: So, you're from LA? What made you move here? Her: Well, my car died and I didn't want to buy another car so I decided to just move to New York where I didn't need one. Me: Oh.
I'd be lying if I said this never crossed my mind. But I wouldn't survive your first winter.
I'm sorry this is my third post here about being sick, but I need to vent. I am miserable right now. I spent half the night and morning in the bathroom throwing up and other fun, now I'm running a fever and have been freezing cold for the last few hours no matter how many blankets, and everything everything hurts so much I can't sleep for more than a few minutes. First H gave me attitude about me asking him to pick up ginger ale (which, if he did it, he didn't bother to bring it upstairs to me, so I don't even know if he did), then he gave me attitude about having to pick up one kid. He comes home, both the kids are all over me, I'm in that feverish "oh my god don't touch me anywhere" state, I finally come downstairs....and he is taking an effing nap on the couch.
If you don't throw up on him, I suggest standing over him and screaming "WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK???"
Because puke and utter rage are the only two acceptable answers for this.

You'll be nice and warm after you set him on fire while he sleeps.

Dude. DUDE. I'd have a hard time not dumping ice water on the couch about now.
I need to relearn how to sleep again. I have a miserable time falling asleep. Once I'm asleep, I'm fine, but actually falling asleep? Blech.
I swear I'm not an essential oils freak, but if you put lavendar and orange oils on your pillow it will help. My SIL (who is an EO weirdo) convinced me to try that a few years ago and bought them for me and I don't know if it's placebo effect or there's actually something to it, but either way it worked. I just had to restart it a few weeks ago and Wegman's actually sells a "pillow blend" EO blend that has those two and hops and I'm finally able to fall asleep again.

EO to help stimulate feelings, i.e. relaxation is ok.
ETA: Trying to cure cancer with lavender oil is not.

That's my feeling too! I've also used them for a stuffy nose (eucaliptic oil is great). I'm just tentative to suggest them because of the crazies who do use them oddly. SIL tried to get us to use her naturopath to cure DD1s asthma. Uh, no!

it's totally a legit use of EO to help create a set of soothing impressions associated with your bed. There's nothing magical about lavender or orange specifically - but having your bed have a certain consistent and pleasant smell helps set your mind for sleep. It's all part of the same tricks with no doing work in bed, white noise, cool temp, etc. Sets the mood for sleep and helps jog you out of whatever random thought patterns you might be stuck in.

There are actually some clinical studies that show certain essential oils can have real effects on your body - peppermint oil has been shown to somewhat reduce nausea, for example, neroli oil reduced anxiety in one study. So I don't think it's complete bunk that certain EOs can sometimes make people feel better emotionally and relieve some mild symptoms.
Anything beyond that...not so much.
This is interesting: a collection and evaluation of a bunch of studies done on EOs:http://www.med.nyu.edu/content?ChunkIID=37427

when my BIL's GF moved back here from CA she left her car rather than drive it across country at her parents' suggestion. i had assumed they had a hand-me-down car ready for her but nope. she's been carless and depending on my BIL for a ride everywhere. it seems to be working for them so yay but i'm still all about the whole thing.

I get a text from my MIL last night that she picked up a from prescription for me...I was slightly confused so I called her and evidently, she went to pick up her prescription and they offered to give her mine. She just had to tell them my month of birth. My HIPAA knowledge is limited to what goes on in the work place and transmitting data to my carriers, but this just does not feel right to me! Thankfully the script was just for my acid reflux...

That's all I have to provide when I pick up H's scripts. They don't even ask my relationship to the patient (we have different last names). I always thought it was odd. No one has ever offered to let me take someone else's Rx, though.

Facebook people are so stupid.
There's a post on FB about how Brady is going to give his new truck to Malcom Butler. I made a joke about he'd be better off giving to the guy in Detroit who walks 21 miles to work everyday. You would have thought I said Tom Brady was an asshole and needs to have his hand chopped off. I'm pretty sure if I don't remove the comment I'll start getting death threats.
