Something About Nothing ... #12

[RAPstar]

My stupid butt had to get sick, causing me to miss 2 days of work and mess with my ot. And they're finally cracking down on emails so I'm not even sure how much longer ot will be available. So I cancelled the Disney portion to be on the safe side, except club villain but I'll probably cancel that for other issues that I'm having. Blah. It's been a really sucky day

 

[macraven]

Robbie, hope you are feeling better now.

that really is horrible you had to change your plans.
i know you sounded so excited when you told us you booked the disney trip

 

[macraven]

While eggs are supposedly 'good' to eat for another three to five weeks past the stated expiry date, I

disregard the printed expiration date on the carton. You need to look for the packing code that's printed on it.

Look for a "P" then a number (the plant). It's followed by a space then another number which is the date the eggs were packed using a Julian number. I always look for the latest packed date using that methodology.

lets move onto milk now.
what's the ruling on expired cow juice.


for me, i won't use it if it is the day prior to expiration.....
but i still keep it in the fridge past expiration for mr mac to use.

StL.........Glad you got your dates finalised and your hotel sorted......yay........

Robbie.........feel better soon, don`t feel too down........the ot will be back I`m sure.......it usually does when you least expect it!! hugs for now.........

Janet, yes. very dodgy deal with TA.......we stick to the one place now as they don`t waffle us, but we`ve been told for years, yep years if we go somewhere different to purchase TC that they`re being discontinued and not accepted anywhere. Makes me mad. Of course some people like the loaded card, but not for us. I only called them as I didn`t want her pressured into buying the card instead.......but went elsewhere when they just lied. Just tell me you don`t stock them.......don`t lie. Looking forward to the call today from someone.

Yes, no leftovers or out of date in our fridge.......I`m always throwing anything that might be dodgy out.......don`t usually go by date either with some stuff......a good sniff will tell you its fine.......or not!!

mac.........lol for mr mac........yes, milk is something I`m very funny about.......got to be ice cold and fresh as paint......otherwise its out......


Looks to be a beautiful day ahead for us........Fog is slowly clearing.......expecting some sights of that big yellow thing in the sky today......yay.......

Have a great Friday........

Robbie - sorry to hear about all your issues. Sending a hug. Hope things will work out.

StL -- yay! The trip is ON. Glad to hear plans are now in place.

Milk - Mac, I'm with Schumi, like it very cold. I also kinda do the sniff test too, don't pay too much attention to the date, until I have to toss it. Eggs, thanks for the lesson Keisha. The only ones I use quickly are the eggs my kids take from the neighbor's chickens. They somehow taste a little better than the ones in the box.

Ahh, a rainy start to the day, but at least still a bit warm. Thankfully, the rain for the week-end, seems to be not that bad, so I am happy that I won't need an umbrella to watch the soccer games.

And yes, It is FRIDAY! Wahoo!

And it's hot tea today for me. Piece of pound cake for breakfast. Good start to the day, even if there's no Mr. Sun to see.

And a funny:

Enjoy the week-end all! And give me strength, my not a nice morning person DD has an early morning soccer game tomorrow morning. XL cup of tea needed, that, and maybe ear plugs! LOL

moo juice? try not to touch the stuff. If i could stomach creamer in cereal I would.

now onto really important issues: does liquor 'go bad'? Find myself buying odd stuff to make tropical mixed drinks where you just use a little bit and then it sits gathering dust ala blue curacao.

Moo juice........lol........

I think liquor can go bad.........we had a bottle of Amaretto that only is for cocktails as no one likes it.......but someone gave us a "cheap" version of the stuff we usually buy.......yuk........we opened it and it wasn't very nice, so stuck it away instead of dumping it.........found it on a clear out a long time later.........it did not smell nice. Now, it may have been fine to drink but we weren't going to risk it.......I think if it has sugar added it won't keep like pure spirits like Vodka.........

Doesn't everyone have a bottle of the blue stuff lurking somewhere..........we have a vast selection of bols liqueurs.......cherry brandy, peach few others and yep the blue one too.........we like cocktail parties.......

Lynne......hope the DD does well tomorrow and weather is ok.........



Turned out a busy day after all..........and a beautiful one too.........sun is shining and there's a warmth to the sun today.......our garden room is boiling......all from the sunshine........

Busy afternoon ahead too.........but when the sun is out everything is much more pleasant!! Ever walk around with such a big grin on your face you feel like you should start singing the "the hills are alive"......... Or some similar feel good happy song..........Lol...........

Friday

Good morning homies.
Dw's boss approved her vacation yesterday day and then later on that day calls her in and tells her she didn't appreciate that she went over her head about her vacation and she knows how to do her job and was only looking out for the principal and I told DW what does getting a answer on her vacation getting the principal in trouble.
I think her boss is mad cause it shows she is not doing her job.
Sorry about the rant

 

[tink1957]

Good morning...getting a late start today...I'm only on my first cup of coffee and I don't know

 

[macraven]

St L sounds like wife's boss has a fragile ego


As long as she has vacation time approved, all is fine




Tink, you just getting up?
Can't believe I got up before you

 

[Lynne G]

StL DW does not have a very nice boss. If vacation is approved, she should be able to say I'll be going on vacation.

Tink, that's okay,

, and I wish I could get up late....

You are right Mac and that's what I told DW and told her not to worry and stress herself out over this and she didn't do anything wrong

 

[macraven]

your wife will have the weekend off so maybe she can de-stress from all of this worry she has about the job

she didn't do anything wrong.

spend some time this weekend going over the park map on the uo site and make some plans on the rides you want to do everyday and places where you want to eat in the parks and city walk.
that should cheer her up and get her excited for vacation time.

 

[macraven]

dropping by this afternoon to see if any word from our Bluers.
Hope all is going okay for the mom and everyone.

we all send our best....

 

[Robo56]

All the Minion pictures are getting me so Universal happy for my upcoming trip in May. Now I need a nap

 

[schumigirl]

You are right Mac and that's what I told DW and told her not to worry and stress herself out over this and she didn't do anything wrong

Despite her bosses behaviour, I'm glad she has this sorted out........your wife isn't responsible for bosses ego.......hope she has a lovely weekend and manages to put it out her mind........least now you can start looking forward to your trip.........

dropping by this afternoon to see if any word from our Bluers.
Hope all is going okay for the mom and everyone.

we all send our best....

Wondered that too yesterday........hope everything is going ok...........
