Entertaining and Hospitality / Re: Another dinner party thread - when the hostess serves expired food? Update p43
« on: July 06, 2022, 12:18:08 am »
A few months ago, I honest to goodness used jarred sauce that had a best by date of 2 YEARS before. I didn't notice until after wet had all eaten. It tasted fine, no one got sick, and no I didn't say a dang word. Unless there was something off and that batch of sauce, 2 days isn't going to make one bit of difference. It's like to know if the sauce had meat added or the jars had been previously opened and refrigerated, because that is much more likely the issue.

Family and Children / Re: How do you, as a parent, handle sibling rivalry/angst?
« on: June 11, 2022, 09:57:17 am »
Just because you're siblings doesn't mean you have to be friends. 🤷 They may never be friends. That's on them, especially if they are already adults and dad needs to stay out of their relationship issues.

First, I would not respond to any emails that have a do not reply to this email in it. Next, you need to set up another email account to send these from and set the address as do.not.reply.departmentname@organization.edu

This is actually my friend's story...

She got a lab puppy a few months before Thanksgiving. She'd NEVER had a dog in her life. I warned her repeatedly that labs are notorious counter grazers. She didn't take me seriously...

She took the turkey out of the oven and walked out of the kitchen talking on the phone. Can y'all guess what happened??? Yep, pupper ate the entire turkey except for the bones. He was fine except for looking like a little fat piglet for a few hours.

The Work Day / Re: Asking people to call me by my name rude and culturally disrespectful
« on: October 06, 2021, 08:41:42 pm »
I'm of two minds here. I'm from the Deep South and it is cultural here to use Miss and it's not considered patronizing (in general) to use honey, hun, dear, darling etc. You do not like it and your preference should be respected. However, I do think you are going about it wrong.

Tell people what to call you, not what not to call you. People remember the negative before they will remember the positive in these conversations. So, it's "call me first name" without JADEing. When you say "don't call me Miss first name..." You are reinforcing the actual use of Miss first name.

For some yet unknown reason, animals get rather excited when they see me and proceed to pee. All over me.

My neighbor at my dad's place was baby sitting a miniature Aussie puppy, who decided he really loved me and peed on me at least three times.

And just recently I was outside my apartment waiting for my BF to be back to help carry in groceries, when one of my neighbors was out walking a small dog who promptly came over to say hello. Very sweet dog. Also had a full bladder. It's a good thing I wasn't wearing shoes, and was able to just pop my feet into the bathtub and wash them. My poor neighbor was so embarrassed and I'm like. . . this happens a lot. It's fine, it'll wash off.

I have a puppy of similar lineage... Today she got really excited and pooped on my DH. ALL OVER HIM. 😂😂😂 He joked that it was a good thing I wasn't home because she would have been sent packing.

Family and Children / Re: Inlaws dictating wardrobe on family holiday
« on: July 15, 2021, 05:02:09 pm »
I don't do people dictating to me and I'd be actively contrary. I'm serious, I'd totally go buy a new wardrobe and make sure I bought the most skimpy things I could find.

Stop inviting her to things. If she wants to spend time with you, she can do the inviting and all the planning. Stop stressing yourself out over her non-commitment. Also, you and your other friend go as you planned and change whatever you may feel like since Sally isn't coming.

I don't know where you work, but every place I've worked in the last decade, this would be a violation. Honestly, I'd flat out yet her not to post pictures of you on social media.

Last night my husband lost the remote. He turned on the tv and sat down on the sofa. Poof gone! I found it in the kitchen despite the fact that neither one of us had actually gotten up once he turned the show on...

One of our cats pooped this MEGA poop in the bathtub. I'm pretty sure it was retaliation for the vet visit. It stained the tub! I mean REALLY stained it. We've tried several different cleaners and an enzyme pet stain remover. Nada. 🤦🤦🤦

What kind of surface?  And how old is it? 

If it's fiberglass or resin, you may be out of luck.

Try ketchup - squirt some on the stain and let it sit.  It got some really icky (and mysterious) stains out of my toilet.

It's old flipping porcelain...as in avocado green old! It seems to be lightening *some*.
