Re: Daily Check In March 27, 2024

Clem, when I can't have coffee I drink tea English style with a little milk and a pinch of sugar. It hits the spot.

I did not drink coffee until I was 31 and had a preemie newborn who never slept at night. One of us needed to be alert during the day, so I started drinking coffee.

Re: Daily Check In March 27, 2024

Okay, I must have that coffee! :-D I have seen the egg rolls but was reluctant to commit. Will give them a shot now.

Today at the small town Aldi I bought a bag of sweet chili hummus chips, which are chips made from chickpeas. They are really good: nice spice, good level of saltiness and not greasy.

Re: Daily Check In March 27, 2024

Julie, they are requiring your DH to train someone to replace him? Oy vey! I am back from therapy and Aldi. The Aldi there is cheaper but laid out weird and stocks mostly what I call " country white people food." Lots of pork, very little in the way of international foods. I bought some br...

Re: Daily Check In March 27, 2024

Good morning, Jackie. I have hand therapy in about an hour and am having a second cup of coffee. Motivation in a cup. :-D

My plan is to stop at Aldi on the way home, as sales tax is lower on that side of the state line.

Re: Daily Check-in March 26, 2024

Got the china cabinet cleaned out and, boy there is a lot of china in there. I seem to recall selling the odd plates and serving pieces to Replacements Ltd. years ago. Might be time to do that again. The wallpaper inside the upper cabinet needs to be replaced, but that is such a fiddly chore. I may ...

Re: Quick Question - Would you tip for a bed delivery?

Yes. We tip all delivery people bringing big stuff or working as contract installers. The guy who installed our new door did such a great job that DH tipped him $100. It was a huge job and quite difficult due to the age of the house. He tarped off the room and vacuumed before he left. Such neatly do...
