Morning! Chef be careful with Craigslist. Our local PD just set up a spot in their lobby for Craigslist exchanges. They can't witness anything for legal purposes but are offering a safe place to go.

Check any free or used boxes for bugs before you take them. (You already knew that, of course. )

I get free boxes from the local grocery store when I need them. Do check for bugs.
How's the day going for you, chef?

We have two bathroom stalls for the 60 something women in this department. Why oh why do people think it's necessary to change their scrubs in a bathroom stall? We see T&A all day long. Your stuff ain't no different!

 

*eta..The stalls are in the locker room.

 I like to do the kitchen first.  Then, you are able to have that all done, and make meals and stuff while unpacking the rest of the place.

I agree. What. Do they think they are something extra special or something? T&A's are all the same. Once you've seen it, you've seen it all. Who cares.

 Start whispering "I can see you" in a creepy voice right outside the stall. Or better yet, get a recording of it and play that every time. If it's the same people every day, maybe throw their names in there. Then claim you heard nothing.

I can understand someone being modest and not want to be seen, but it's a freaking locker room! There is bound to be somewhere that doesn't block the bathroom access to change without feeling exposed.

I think some of his toys ended up amongst the clothes we packed. He kept throwing them in and I didn't bother taking them back out.

Most of his blocks are "packed" under the couches. I don't suppose I could just roll up that part of the carpet and consider it done? :P

I'm very careful. I have a throwaway, anonymous email I use for Craigslist and meetings are done in public. I also bring DH or another male adult with me.

I wonder if our PD does anything similar.

Um, yea ... I don't drink and wouldn't have the first clue where a liquor store near me would be. I don't look for them since it's not a place I go. I've heard their boxes are really sturdy so it might be worth it to Google one or a few.

Moving fun until you get to the new place and have to put everything up. At least that is me.

Maybe they change in the stall cause they had to pee and was in there anyway?

Kids attract junk like one of those huge electric magnets. They just get near something and it follows them home.

This is kind a funny. Another thread this time.

Waiting on the snow. We have a predicted 4-5 inches on the way. They are telling people to be where they are planning on staying once it starts. Everything is cold and it will stick to the roads immediately.

We have the scanner charged so we can listen to all the goings on. It'll be interesting.

I am feeling some what better today.

 Boxes from the liquor store sometimes have cardboard inserts that keep the bottles from touching...they are great for packing glasses!

Right? Just change and be done with it.

You would've laughed at DH. When we decided I was having a C-section, the nurse handed DH some scrubs to put on so he could be in the OR. He starts running around the room looking for a place a to change. I told him that of all places to be embarrassed about one's body, L&D isn't it so just put 'em on.

I like finding a home for everything. I just wish I didn't have two other sets of hands who can't leave stuff where it's supposed to be. One set of hands has an excuse. He's one. The other set should know better.

I'm glad you're feeling better :)

I've heard that. We have plastic glasses but the insert would be good for our mugs.

I got a new purse and saved the paper that was inside so I could wrap breakables.

Lily, you are right about the junk following kids home. Every time they go to the doctor, dentist, or anywhere where something is free, it winds up in their bedroom on the floor.
Glad you are feeling better. :)

 Of course, but you have to kill them all in fairly rapid succession, otherwise the survivors go for max retaliation and your entire house will be overrun with junk faster than you can clean it out. I here bribes are sometimes effective as well....

Now you are scaring me.....should I leave money lying around to bribe them to stay away?

I think the grand's bring a new batch of fairies every time they come over. The grand's leave and the fairies stay...

I completely understand.

I found the most effective way to stop this was once a boz was packed, put it in the car, truck or whatever and then take it immediately after I have the car packed.

And label EVERYTHING.

I hear the bribe is supposed to go through the kids. Of course by sometimes effective, they mean there is a 30/70 dhot of it working.

 I know not from personal experience, but I think starting at $5 per kid a week, then adding $5 if it's not working.

We had snow, for a couple of hours, this morning.smile

The sun came out, and melted it, by 11am.

I can walk up to Conor and Jessi's house, to let Ares out, and play with him for a little bit.

Yay!smile

(And, the roads were to much better today. I made a run for hooch! Good times, good times!wink)

I am waiting for the snow to start. It's like waiting on a woman to give birth any minute.

My brother in Alabama got rain.

I did not get to enjoy my birthday dinner the other night so tonight I am getting a redo.

Bojangles! Yay!!! I love Bojangles.

Of course I am paying for it but that is ok.

I have a chicken for dumplins too, May have that tomorrow or the net day.
