This is insane. Parking at JFK airport is $98 per day! I wish I thought to look in advance and make time for off airport parking.

I think replacing a roll of toilet paper on this stand at work should be a problem solving test in every one of our interviews.
I share an office building with this person.

30+ years of dreaming; 5 years of saving; 1 year of planning; and today I am finally off on my dream trip! 12 days sailing as a solo traveler through Greece to Venice, train to Paris to meet my best friend, where we’ll explore Paris, Arles and the Barcelona, taking trains between them. In all I’ll be traveling 28 days. My first flight leaves in 4 hours. First stop, Athens for 2 nights. Then this actual sailing ship will be my home for 12 days. And yes, I am ready!

The bad news: May have just committed money laundering.
The good news: The evidence is destroyed as winning lottery tickets apparently do not wash well.

Your kids are 27 and 21, they should know that they should either make the bed or strip the sheets when they are a guest in someone’s home.

Well, that was a call I should have expected. In our conversation in the spring, the Dr and I discussed timing for reconstruction, based on where she wanted me to weight-wise, it looked like very early 2025. So instead of the September scheduling gave me, it’s now January. 
Part of me wants it over with, part of me is willing to wait. At least I can work on exercise/gym time. Any chance you’ll join me?
Happy that I met the first BMI max, now to get going to the (now) lower requirement.

I’m happy to stop on this busy road to let you cross where there is no crosswalk, but then you saunter across the street like you own the road? Put some effort in, walk with a purpose, we’re being polite.

My 71 yo brother only text, and when he does, there is no punctuation or capital letters, doesn’t proof read and he rambles… His son refuses to read his text for this reason.
My aunt gets a text from him yesterday that a good friend of his, who is also my mother’s godson, had passed away. He wanted my aunt to tell her sister(mom) as my brother knew mom would be upset; guess he didn’t want to do it. My aunt did not see the text for a few hours, but did let mom know. She then called my niece to let her know so she could check in with her father (my brother) to make sure he was doing ok. Niece calls her mother, who says this man has not died, so my aunt tries to call mom back, but it goes to vm.
The reason the call goes to vm- said man has called mom, who burst into tears and was shocked when he spoke, because she was told a few minutes before that he was dead! Seems it was his 94 yo mother that died, not him. 
She had been in the hospital and sick, so not a total surprise, but mom was still upset about her friend from childhood.
To my brother-this was a huge error on your part and cause undo pain. Start proofreading your text, or stop sending them!

Why is every other driver I see on I-75 texting??? No, you do not drive fine while texting. (Yes, I am currently in the passenger seat!)

In the spirit of the post a couple up -
When cats come to visit, they should KNOW to use the cat box and NOT your carpet!!!
ETA - especially when they’ve been here multiple times before with no issues.

Yes, I’ve been trying to eat down the backlog of food in the fridge/freezer. But no, I didn’t want a compressor failure to force the issue. Thankfully sweet height had extra freezer space in her garage. And two huge coolers - she was out but texted me the garage door code.
We like this Frigidaire side-by-side fridge. So despite its 14 year old age we felt obligated to let a repairman check it out… even thought it costs $154 for analysis visit. Opted to not apply it toward the estimated $1400 repair. New one will be delivered tomorrow, grand total about same cost.
PS - In other threads I’ve talked about how much aa wide/36” side-by-side can hold in its freezer. Wow - filled a Target plastic bag for neighbor’s freezer and filled her huge Yeti (with ice) and threw out a bunch of frozen food too. But hey, there was a nice clean out of old condiments etc.

I can’t believe all the things I’ve found at Moms that I thought were gone forever. I’ve also managed two hot yoga classes and a Reformer class. I’ve mostly adhered to my carb limit too! It’s been a good week.

Don’t blindly trust your elderly caregivers. If nanny cam legal in your state use it. Don’t let people abuse your loved one

Ugh! There is nothing worse than making a stupid mistake that causes a totally otherwise avoidable problem. Unforced errors are the worst!

Next week I have to mediate between two warring employees. What I’d really like to say is You’re both being obstinate a**holes who refuse to even try to understand the other or get along. If you weren’t such hotheaded jerks this wouldn’t be a problem. Just be nice for the love of god.
But I can’t say that. So between now and Tuesday I need to come up with some more polite way to say suck it up and play nice.

I would way prefer to get the advice from someone who actually knows about what I’m asking…not just someone who does a Google search. Someone who actually knows about what I’m asking can actually have an informed dialogue with me. You can’t.

Why can’t people park within the lines? Do you really need to take up two spots in an overcrowded lot?
