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.

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...

Re: Daily Check-in March 26, 2024

I have not read about the bridge yet, but the general state of bridges in the US is terrifying. They are all getting quite old and were not designed for the weight and number of cars and trucks now on them. The interstate overpass bridge near our house was replaced a couple of years ago and it was n...

Re: Daily Check-in March 25, 2024

Update: Did get some socks, went by the bank and took a handful of coupons to the grocery store. That knocked about 30% off. The mail brought a $416 reimbursement check from the imaging center that massively overcharged me after their computer system kept canceling my appointment. DH said "cash...
