How does this communication strategy work out for you generally?

Wow...this is a great vibe. It's like Daddy just hit Mommy at the dinner table and we are all trying to eat still. "Just eat honey, Mommy's OK. Daddy just got a little angry" (Child voice):"I don't wanna eat." "Mommy's fine, Daddy just got a little crazy and Mommy's fine." (Child Voice):"Do I have to eat?" "Yes you have to eat.

can we get back on topic? i was actually enjoying this thread. kthxbye

Thanks for quoting her and forcing me to see what she wrote. She probably wrote that in between beatings from her abusive Mexican husband. I'll have to add you to my list of complete buffoons that are on ignore on GC.

I think this will prove very mutually agreeable.

Don't forget:

Step 6: Put Rudey on Ignore

Its so much easier to ignore his stupidity that way.

Supposedly you've got me on ignore and then come on to post out of the blue to tell me you've got me on ignore. Good job. You're not a bright bulb either.

--PS I was the one that put the idiots on ignore, so stop stealing my material dbag.

I worked for years at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Turkey legs that were not sold one year - were frozen and kept until the next year.
YUM.

^^^ ewwwww!

i always think about that when drugstores sell all their Easter candy for 50% off the week after. what if they don't sell it? where do all the chocolate eggs and Peeps go? on the shelf for next year?

(makes me think of The Chocolate War... anyone, anyone?)

At my house, we celebrate 50% off Chocolate Day on Feb. 15th!

yuk. I use to go every year to the one in Magnolia Texas. Luckily I don't eat turkey but my friend would have a turkey leg every year. I will have to tell her what you said

OK one from me. If your (insert animal here, usually a dog) got into pot be honest with me. I can spot a pot dog coming in the door (so can most of the staff)and if you are not honest with me you will have about a 1000$ estimate. If you are honest with me then it will just be the exam fee and a "he'll sleep it off tonight" comment. I promise I won't call the police or CPS. Just tell me the truth. BTW I know your neighbor didn't just throw it in your yard either-get real

Also, if you are a dick to me about how long you have been waiting, you WILL be waiting much longer so be nice.

From when I worked in jewelry:
- In my experience, ALWAYS buy the service plan when it comes to a nice piece of jewelry. When you buy the service plan, ALWAYS follow the terms of the agreement (usually coming in and having it cleaned and checked every so often). If you do this, the store will usually pay for anything that goes wrong... which can include replacing missing stones, prong retipping, new rhodium plating, all kinds of expensive things. But if you don't buy the service plan, or if you miss your inspection dates, and your big 1 carat stone pops out of its setting... we could care less if it's over 90 days. And you will be mad when you have to replace that big sucker on your own dime.

- We sell jewelry cleaner in a box, but what we use in our store's sonic cleaner is one part Mr. Clean, one part water. Use a toothbrush to get it really clean and don't forget to go behind the setting. People who don't take their rings off much have some really funky and gross stuff back there.

-Don't put your silver in regular cleaner though... use toothpaste for that or a cleaner for silver jewelry.

And from what I do now:
- Dollar store pregnancy tests are not accurate. If you want an accurate test, you need to buy the expensive kind in the store or you need to go to the doctor's office. (that may seem like common sense to some of you, but you never know...)
- You can be still getting some form of period every month and still be pregnant. You can still be pregnant and have a negative urine test. These are things that usually run in someone's family, so if you think you might be pregnant but you're still menstruating or you are still getting negatives at home, ask your mom or other family members who've been pregnant before. Sometimes you need a blood test or an ultrasound to confirm.

you know, there are some things you shouldnt skimp on... while i'd like to think that generic brand XYZ would work "just like name brand ABC" (as imitations tend to disclaim on their packaging), i would rather just shell the $ out on the good ish.
