Odd Indeed!

Pumpkinhead (OSS stb 23) is selling FURNITURE on FB!  Oh and the Animal Torturer (SD stb 21) happens to work in a furniture store.  Did I mention that the Animal Torturer had klepto tendencies and took anything that wasn't nailed down when she was a mere 8 yrs old?  That includes going in her dad's wallet and my purse looking for cash when she "thought we were sleeping."

 

Hmmm.

O/T. I'm putting Chef on a diet

thinkthrice's picture

And he has agreed to it!  It is the same diet I was on last year for approximately 3 to 4 months and it is grueling.  Chef is very competitive so I will be on the same diet.  He is starting to look like he is 9 months pregnant! LOL

I have a seminar for work which is in Key West late next month and Chef will be going with me;  he has noticed the photo calendar they sent out last year in which I attended and he didn't.  For the most part the people around our age are quite slim and take care of themselves.  The younger ones not so much.

O/T I Feel so RELIEVED!!!!

I FINALLY resolved the overhanging issue that Retired Dude left in his wake (in a big heap of ashes--shrugging shoulders) and it is now fully implemented!!!

The software absolutely SUCKS and hasn't kept up with the times.  Retired Dude was in on the ground floor in 1997 when they went live with it.  So he was very familiar.  For me it will be a year in late October since I've been flying solo.

Again, My Manifesto for N00bs That Came About from My Own Experience

and COUNTLESS others on this forum as well as elsewhere:   (it is written as SM dealing with biodad, his kids from a previously enjoyed BM but feel free to apply it to your situation, if different)

 

1. Does your man allow co-sleeping with his children? (aka the kiddies routinely jump into bed with him at night)

2. Does he have to lie down with them to get them to sleep?

3. Do the children seem somehow "stunted" socially? Do they have poor hygiene habits, eating habits, bedtime habits?

O/T Credit Card Companies changing Due Date

thinkthrice's picture

As of late I've received two letters saying they are moving my due date from the 25th/28th to the 5th/8th respectively.  I pay my balance off every month several days before the due date anyway so wondering why this is done other than maybe try to "catch" me paying late so they can collect interest?  I'm aware that I can call the company and tell them that I want my due date moved back to the original date and they will probably need to say yes since my credit score hovers around 800, but I digress.

Any thoughts?

OSS stb 23 Has a New Career

thinkthrice's picture

He is a clerk at the local low end grocery store.   This chain is about 10 steps down from Aldis.  You bag your own groceries, the produce is run of the mill and limited.  Lots of cheap canned goods and processed in box foods.  I have shopped there from time to time to pick up something quickly.  About one step up from a bodega.

And to think he could be making about ten times more had he stuck with visitation and learned the construction trades from his father.... Oh no, the Girhippo would have rathered all three skids die in poverty than learn any job skills from Chef.
