Posterburner is an amazing site! I sent them an order of four images recently, where three of them came out very good to excellent, and the fourth one was an honest fail. They would not give up until we were able to resolve the situation. There are many things to complain about in the USA, but I have to say they are an example of customer service at its best.

I was prepared to feel horrible b/c I felt like horrible after Shot # 2 (day after the shot was worse than the day of the shot). I definitely don't feel 100%, but it's not as bad as Shot # 2.
I have lots of comfort foods on hand and my sheets / blanket are all clean. Also have a huge bottle of Excedrin Migraine, which I took right after the shot and first things this morning as well.

I was going to buy small bottles of Korbel champagne for the staff at my dentist's office. But I can only find the 4 pack at one Bottle King near my job. I didn't feel like stopping on my way home because it's a nightmare to get in and out of there when there ISN'T a holiday. Right now, it's damn near impossible. It gets so bad they have to hire a cop to direct traffic.
Anyway, there's a Dunkin' Donuts near the office so I'll give them a gift card after the 1st of the year. They are closed starting Thursday afternoon through the end of the year.

The tree sucks the water up - which is why you made a fresh cut at the base when you installed it.

🎄trees are already a couple months from being cut down when you buy them. So fresh cut will help tree absorb water in the stand. However, in my experience they only drink for a couple days, a week at most anyhow. Just don't touch the tree once you decorate it and it won't drop too many needles.

Packaging whelms me frequently, R166. I once e-mailed Campbell's about a product that I to this day love with a passion and that is the clear best of its kind on supermarket shelves, regarding the absurd opening mechanism. It resulted, 100% of the time, in 1-3 tablespoonfuls of liquid exploding all over the counter. The response I got was an extremely passive-aggressive and hilariously sarcastic one, emphasizing not only how much research they put into their product designs but also vaguely suggesting that I might be retarded. After hearing many tales of coupons and apologies, I received nothing of the sort. The response was so funny it was better than an apology, though. And clearly from a human being, which I appreciate these days.
Also, the year after I sent that email the opening was redesigned. I know my email wasn't responsible but it really was surprisingly shit and I guess either enough people complained or someone at Campbells actually tried to use their own product and ended up splattering most of it all over their kitchen.

Please stop mentioning sauciers in this thread. I can't decide between adding to my kitchen a saucier or a Windsor pan. The indecision is already whelming me and the mentions above make it so much worse.
I made a terrine to take to the Christmas party mentioned above. During my preparation, I failed to account for the size of my terrine pan and the specifications of the recipe. To make a long story short, my terrine pan was too small for all the filling I had prepared!

I'm not sure about ingredient differences, R247. Shreddies are Canadian and are darker brown in colour than Life cereal, which is pale.
You're so right about the way in which travel broadens all our horizons. I discovered that even cereal with the same name is sometimes different in the UK.

I bought my grandma her very first smartphone with a nice data plan as she wants to be online. She’s had the phone for about 7 days then called me with a whole shitload of basic internet navigation questions. I told her I would stop by after work and help her out. Well, I was in for quite a shock. While I was holding her phone I thumbed through the browser tabs on her phone and found pics of men sucking cock and a video of a woman with 2 cocks in her asshole. I closed the tabs and then told her that I could no longer help her. Then I went home and cried.

I tried to lead her to it, but she would only climb up the stairs half-way, then wait for the sound of the meal prep before climbing the rest, as if to say “I’m not climbing all those stairs unless I know the food will be there.” That was the last straw.

So, yes, now that I've put the brakes on since 1/1/2022, unsweetened vanilla out milk tastes like a treat.

Well, I've given up on getting my aligners from Smile Direct Club. I had my final impressions done, pictures taken, and dental release supplied on 12/29.
I was told I should have my aligners in 2-3 weeks. I called at least once a week since mid-January. They continued to tell me they were waiting on the 3 items I mentioned. I told them they already HAVE all of that and have for weeks. I cancelled at the end of January but then received a call from the Dental Team. They asked for 72 hours and they'd call me back. Surprise, surprise, no call back but my account was updated. I finally pulled the plug on Saturday. I will try Candidco or, even though they are more expensive, Invisalign. At least Candidco and Invisalign have local orthodontists I can see if I need to. Doing the impressions and taking the pictures yourself is tricky.

Tomorrow is February 15 I will flip my mattress and turn it around I've been doing this every six months for many years, maybe that's why this mattress which I bought in February 2004 is still in excellent condition.

Good for you, R546. Most newer mattresses are now pillow-topped so they can't be flipped over. They can only be rotated head to toe.
I'm currently on a Zoom call and am bored out of my mind! I will miss my 11 am steps. I have a FitBit that reminds me to move every hour. It vibrates at 10 of to remind to get at least 250 steps per hour. My personal target is 500 steps per hour.

R547- They were phasing two sided pillow topped mattresses out already in 2004. I guess this way the mattress doesn't last as long and you have to go out and buy a new one.
My mattress is an ordinary but good Sealy Posturpedic.
I remember the commercial for it - A woman sings- IT'S A SEALY POSTURPEDIC MORNING , YEAH!
I found a commercial. I didn't realize they had this slogan way back in 1979.

R549, I had to replace my 20 year old mattress about 6 years ago. I am "roly-poly" as they used to say. As a single person, I sleep in the middle of the bed and the mattress was getting a valley in it so I bought a new mattress. It has the same problem because I watch TV before bed so I lay in the middle. I've been trying to sleep on one side of the other.
Update on the steps - I took myself off video and got my 11 am steps in. I'm on target right now and planning a 40 or so minute walk about 3:30 pm. I know it's cold outside but I haven't been out of the house since Sunday.

R549- 20 years is a good run for mattress. It's a good run for ANY thing. Most cars don't last that long. Roly boly- I haven't heard that in AGES.
Ca. 1977 these two kids who lived in a house near our property were cutting across our lawn one day - male and female, my mother looked at them and said- Roly Boly He and Roly Poly She. It was kinda mean but funny.

I'm at work today and it's pretty quiet. I think there are 3 people here; at least in my half of the office. I don't hear any voices on the Sales side which is odd if there are any salespeople over there. My loud team members come in Tue and Thurs. I hate the every other day thing. Wed and Thurs are my days in the office.
I'm going to head out for a short (30-45 minute) walk so that I'm back in time for my 1 PM ET meeting. That will be my 2nd walk in 2 days. Trying to get back into the swing of things.

Well, I'm back. It was only a 33 minute walk. The office complex isn't that large and I didn't have enough time to lap it twice before my meeting. At least I did something. I spent the winter pretty much on my ass despite buying myself a TotalGym for Christmas in 2019.

I'm making chicken tagine for dinner. Publix does not sell loose regular carrots (only pricey organic), and a cheap bag of regular carrots is way more than I need; so, I bought a bag of baby carrots.
On the plus side, they finally had store brand liquid non-dairy creamer.

Today is Mardi Gras aka Fat Tuesday. I decided to allow myself to enjoy a Filet-o-Fish, medium fry, and chocolate shake for lunch.
I'm not religious but, for Lent, I'm giving up alcohol during the week; I will allow myself alcoholic drinks on Saturdays and Sundays only. I was going to give up candy but recently bought a large bag of Twizzlers. Unless I throw them out, I'll be tempted to eat some. Anyone else going to give up anything?
