This is gross, so scroll on by if you're eating or sensitive.
My H watched basketball last night (while I was on kid bedtime duty and fell asleep) instead of plunging the toilet he and DD2 clogged. And then he got up this morning and used the toilet again without first checking to confirm it was unclogged. Spoiler alert: It wasn't. Please don't ask me what he was thinking, because I don't know.
And now he's driving the kids to their activities, and I get to plunge the toilet and clean up. Yay.
I feel like different people are going to interpret that dress code very differently, because never in a million years would “mountain chic” make me think of cowboy attire.
CO mountains has a lot of ranches, so it's very western. I haven't watched it, but I assume Yellowstone is a good example of this.
I just found what appears to be a huge blood droplet on the kitchen floor and it doesn't belong to any of the humans in the house. We were all out this morning because the cleaners were here then met at home around 1. I brought groceries in, my H and David brought lunch then I noticed it a couple hours later. I contacted the cleaners to see if they injured themselves and they responded that it definitely didn't come from them. I'm worried it's coming from my dog but I don't see her bleeding from anyplace? And it was one huge droplet, which I'd imagine would have more blood somewhere else. Does anyone have any ideas. I'm stumped.
When we had random blood in our house, it was from a dog ear. They bleed A LOT and then it scabs over and you can barely see where the wound was.
A guy I worked with had the most beautiful, full, lush, shiny... all the adjectives... beard imaginable. He'd shave it off once a year and it was always such a shock when he came in without it. Then it would be back in a month. It was remarkable.
litskispeciality, got it. My gpa was in a 3 different facilities towards the end. One was a senior living space and anyone could come and go inside. The second had a front desk where you had to sign in. The final place was a locked down memory ward place, so you had to provide ID etc. to get in. The last two wouldn't allow delivery past their front desks, even though the second one functioned like an apartment complex.
I'm not going to say anything to Instacart. I understand where I went wrong, and apparently just got lucky that everyone else delivers to the door. Does anyone have advice of how to have the best chance of the items brought up to the door? I will place a note, but do I need to indicate the customer has limitations and can't bring up groceries on their own? Should I need to do that? I don't want to be snarky, but my brother went through this when I was at his place. He wrote a note of where to leave it, and gave an extra tip. Stuff was left outside of the building door (there's a buzzer). I was there to help, but what do you do if you live alone and don't have help?
Trust me I tip these services well and I wouldn't want to do that job (way too high stress). Just seems like part of ordering groceries is to not go out, so how do you meet in the middle with getting them inside (obviously you put them away)?
I'm not understanding what you want them to do. Your dad lives in a facility, and you want them to not deliver to the facility's front door, but to your dad's door in the complex? There's a lot of variables, but it seems like you want them to perform a task that is outside of their delivery scope, and something the facility itself should be performing.
OMG scm1011 ! Is there anyway the school can get the class checked? Someone must just be letting it go and spreading it.
I've talked to the admin/nurse ad nauseum. They can check but they cannot send kids home/prevent them coming from coming in with lice. We have a large low-income population and I'm guessing the $30 Nix treatments are out of reach for many families. Or people are just being negligent. I did a treatment on DD this morning and then at drop off I saw lice in one of her classmates hair so it feels like a losing battle until school ends.
I have calls out to the Lice Aunties but I'm not sure its worth throwing $240 per person at the problem when we'll all just be reinfected again. I'm literally going crazy.
I wonder if you have a super lice variety that is resistant to Nix and other treatments.
Trump will campaign in Minnesota after attending his son Barron's graduation
I mean...most families go out for a meal and ice cream after graduation, but ok.
Right? Or have a party for family and friends (which seems up Trump's alley). I just don't see how the Rs and conservative Christian's keep pushing him as a family man.
Is this still a thing? I remember finding it attractive on Ken Griffey Jr and Luke from Gilmore Girls... 20+ years ago.
I have no idea. What I've been seeing is a bunch of, "I'm no marriage expert, but have you tried buying her XYZ, and turning your hat backwards?" meme's/reels/tiktoks.
My dad doesn't drive. He uses a walker a needs help with almost everything. I order Instacart for him, preferably when I'm there to help put it away. 98% of the shopper brings it to the door, if not inside of his place and offers to help. I placed an order, but missed the delivery notification because I was in a meeting. It was outside...when it's pretty warm. There were frozen meals which the shopper knew about. Am I an a$$hole if I lose my mind on Instacart? I didn't leave notes to bring it inside...buuuuut I didn't think I had too either?
Thankfully the building staff found it and brought it in to the lobby, but they didn't call my dad because they didn't know who the order belonged too.
Oh and the building has rolling carts by the door to help the residents, families, and services to transport heavy things.
This is on you as you missed the notification. The shopper did their part.
I get a lot of my work stuff from ebay lightly used - it is a pain but i feel better preventing stuff from going to landfills and not buying new for environmental reasons. I narrow stuff down by the brands I know work for me which helps. Bonus si that I get some nicer brands without spending too much!
My office is more formal so I wear black or grey regular trousers year round with shell tops and a jacket, or dresses. But for looing nice outside of work, I too am in the linen trousers group.
My problem is that for the last 10 years my work outfits have been jeans and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. I had gotten rid of any sort of office wear items.
Are you anti-dresses? I find them to be so much more comfortable than pants for doing a lot of sitting, and it's nice to grab one item instead of trying to match a top and pants. There are lots of comfy long dress options too if you prefer not to expose your legs. I get really excited when we hit dress season.
I'm not hardcore anti-dress, but I don't find them comfortable.
tacokick , this has been my experience as well, I truly don't understand what they expect people to do. When my FIL was in rehab, they told us he's only authorized to stay until he's no longer making progress, and then we'd have 24 hours notice to come pick him up. At that point he couldn't even get out of bed on his own to get the bathroom. H is an only child, we live 3 hours away, and FIL at that point lived in a 3 story house.
It makes me wonder how much elder care is going to have to change. My parents generation, they were retired and their kids were grown by the time their parents were in need of care, so they had a lot more flexibility. But now that people are having kids at an older age, have fewer children, and are more likely to live away from their home town...people just can't take care of their parents 24/7. But all these facilities are still operating like people have 4 kids in town to manage their care.
I'm sorry you are going through this.
I think part of it is that Boomers aren't doing anything to help themselves either. They're not downsizing houses, or prepping to age in place. They're not future planning for what happens when/if they get sick. The world has always bent itself to accommodate them so they think that's going to keep on happening.
My MIL is absolutely not budging from her large house, even though she can already barely manage the stairs. I keep talking to her and H about trying to plan when she's not mobile and all I get is, "I don't want to sell my house!!! sob sob!!" Bruh, I also don't want you living with us, so let's find a plan that we can agree on that doesn't involve you in a house that can't accommodate you.
Employee A has been helping Customer via email. Customer asks, "Does anyone on your team know about XYZ and can chat with me about it?" Employee A replies to Customer, CCing Employee B - "Hey Customer, I'm copying my coworker Employee B to introduce the two of you. They would be happy to answer any questions you have."
Whose court is the ball in to continue this conversation? Should Employee B reply, "Hi Customer, what can I do for you?" Or should Customer email Employee B?
Employee B should initiate, but in my experience most of the time the customer initiates.
I only have a little bit of end of school scheduling to complain about. Tomorrow is field day. K parents are to be there (if they want) from 9:30-10:30. Then parents can come to lunch at 11:20. What am I supposed to do with that?? I'm asking my kid which one he wants me to do, because I can't do both.
Ok so we can go to field day too. I have no idea what parents do at field day-- do you?
Nordstrom Rack is my go to for short sleeve work blouses that don’t require ironing. Most of mine are flowy in the waist. Max Studio, Pleione, DR2 Daniel Raine, Adriana Papell, Calvin Klein, and Tahari (runs small) are brands to search for.
This is what I was going to recommend. I get the short sleeves or tank tops and then throw over a three-quarter sleeve cardigan. Also check out clothes mentor as I’ve found new with tag stuff there.
I never think to go to Clothes Mentor as in my mind it's all teenager stuff.

I can’t wait for Trump to not go to Barron’s graduation.
It will be epic.
But I’m bracing to be disappointed by some BS loophole where Trump goes for exactly 4 minutes. And then begs for money at some fundraiser in another state. He’s definitely not waiting around for hours at a ceremony and a party where he is not the center of attention and praise.
Does it make me an awful person to hope his plane goes down?
No. I've been hoping for his timely death for a while.
