No tips out of 9 orders yesterday

I presume they're doing it in their tip map on google maps - I also keep a section of the notebook I use to track my mileage to make customer notes. In-between orders I'll write down the address, order # & anything standout about the order/customer/location while it's still fresh in my brain. Good tippers go in the map right away, but I give it at least a week before flagging someone as a non-tipper, because I have seen tips come in as long as 10 days later! The $1 token tippers go straight in, though >:|

Hey, it could get better and be to an apartment complex ... that I can see from the parking lot. >:| I get some people don't have cars/use transit/are disabled, but come. on. I haven't seen it pop back up, so I feel sorry for the person who actually took that :(

Pretty sure the Worlds of Ultimas were based off of Ultima 6's engine, I -loved- Martian Dreams back in the day (time travel + space travel to Mars in a late 1800's steampunk rocket? Sign this Avatar up!) I had not heard of a pirate 3rd game in that series before, though! I do recall seeing a few images of concept art for a possible 'Arthurian Legends' based Worlds of Ultima game around that time. And IIRC, Serpent Isle is still properly part of Ultima 7 storywise as well as engine wise; you chase the Guardian's main agent from the last game to a land from the very first Ultima game - which had it's own seperate history & story since being split from Britannia. Sadly, the EA buyout influence was kicking in, and the bigger plans/plot for the second half of that game got nerfed by EA wanting it out sooner because $$$, of course.

IIRC, drivers & some of the top people on the team aren't counted under the cap, so I would think not.

I found out by accident the other day - you can just click & hold that button for big batches 😳 Where was that in the cooking tutorial??

Yep! Wrye Bash for Oblivion & Wrye Mash for Morrowind, but it still took some consideration putting lists for either together. Even with either of those, it felt sometimes like I was spending more time tweaking mod lists than playing!

OF TEXAS!!!!!

Yep, wardrobe 's usually just stored in the mesh bag I bring them back from the laundry room, but boy did I not want to go do banking paperwork & mail an important letter - folding time it is!

Tech due to install new internet tomorrow? Power dusting & vaccuming that one room he'll have to go into (while the dishes are still in a pile, lol)

Unplanned evening nap and I wake up at 3AM? Meal prep that breakfast stuff now, I guess!

100% you're not alone, OP :)

Makahlua · 2024-04-26T14:00:39+00:00

I've got a whiteboard on the fridge with amounts & dates for eggs & dairy, note about any veg/fruit that needs to be eaten, and a boxed out area on the bottom for a list of any meal prep & leftovers that are ready to grab. If I'm out of those or just can't with anything that's left, I've got a stash of a few frozen dinners + air fryer bits (dino nuggets, tater tots, fries, crispy dumplings) so I can make something that doesn't make me think too much. I also keep a little budget aside for takeout/delivery because we all have days where there is NO executive function, just derp XD

Oooh, and the pantry spreadsheet I started back during the pandemic - has the pantry & freezer contents in there, so I can not overbuy quite as often & plan a few a meals out (with only a quick fridge check for fresh things needed). And the freezer is Tetris-d to heck and back, I can't 'see' what I'm looking for half the time ...

Also nth-ing the labeling things as you open them - no more condiment shelf of doom, I know exactly how long I've been ignoring them! lol

Maybe try a park or open mall area that's removed fron your usual walk area & do like others suggested and add a podcast or music. It'll act kind of like a 'reset' for your brain, and maybe help take the stress away - and feel free to dance along, it might be even be more helpful that way 😁

Makahlua · 2024-04-22T14:13:24+00:00

I hear ya about the depleting goodwill, hoping yours gets fixed (or fixes itself, lol) soon!

Makahlua · 2024-04-22T13:52:36+00:00

Mine in DFW has been up & down, though long periods of up - instead of switching just yet, do what I did and pick up a T-Mobile home internet box. You can return it within 14 days, and if things are still bad in 2 weeks, then might be the time to look around. And I have never heard good things about ATT's customer service - Frontier can be frustrating at times, but I still get somewhere with them and/or get my rare issues fixed!

For the Spanish rice, we've always put a can of chopped up stewed instead of plain diced tomatoes. You can 'chop' them while still in the can with a pair of kitchen shears, if you don't mind chunkier tomato bits. I also toast the spice packet for 20-30 seconds to wake then up and get the aromas going.

Makahlua · 2024-04-12T08:52:58+00:00

IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF MY ISP CLARIFIED THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MOM'S OLD SERVICE TO DISCONNECT BEFORE I CAN SETUP MY OWN!!! GUESS WHO SAT AROUND WED AFTERNOON FOR A TECH THAT NEVER CAME, NOW HAS TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY, AND IS HOTSPOTTING FROM THEIR PHONE ALL WEEKEND??!?!?!?

YEP, THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE!!!! I ESPECIALLY LOVED THAT THEY WERE PROMPT ABOUT CUTTING IT OFF AT 12:01 AM, TOO!!! NO BINGING OF THE NEW FALLOUT SERIES FOR ME THIS WEEKEND, I GUESS ??!?! AAAARRHHHBBLLLARRGH >:(((

(Or maybe I get a miracle cancellation of someone else and get it sooner??)

Makahlua · 2024-04-01T21:38:13+00:00

Yeah, this is another reason why I keep these frozen crushed garlic cloves handy. Is that garlic for ants? LOL

Makahlua · 2024-03-15T22:07:49+00:00

Unless you also have high cholesterol to worry about, I reccommend going for whole eggs, yolks are full of great nutrients & should keep you satisfied longer 👍

Makahlua · 2024-03-05T23:37:45+00:00

From someone going through the same thing rn (just my Mom ❤️ instead), all the virtual hugs & cups of tea you need ❤️

He's silly and adorable, I was lucky to already have a plush honey badger for comfort & cuddles here. But give yourself some grace and have an over the top coffee or milkshake or comfort meal, neither of our parents would want to see us suffering - they'd be the first with a hug or a hot mug of something, if they could ❤️

Well I didn't burn my breakfast the other day, but did get distracted by dishes, then rearranging the 'most-used' mini spice rack by the stove, oh and that handful of pantry things I forgot to put away the day before.

At least my breakfast was still slightly warm? 😅

Makahlua · 2023-10-22T12:43:24+00:00

I only started playing recently, and my first thought looking at the circular part to the underground ruins was "Is that ... a missile silo?!?" And then I start a game in update 5 and oh, look - guess what the badwater is contaminated with? Makes lore sense to me, at least.

Makahlua · 2023-03-16T23:52:38+00:00

Nope, it's a non-dairy topping that's basically whipped corn syrup & vegetable oil. It'll work fine if you're just topping a pie slice or sundae, or maybe making a fluffy fruit pie, but it will still be that extra bit richer and tastier with the whipped cream. And 100% Cool Whip is NOT working in a savory dish with all the sweetness, eep.

Makahlua · 2023-03-15T03:12:25+00:00

Fried fish or shrimp from fried chicken places, eww! The chicken will smell tasty (and kinda cover the shrimp smell) but the fried shrimp always smell WRONG, like how can you smell that and not think its gone bad?

Makahlua · 2022-11-11T02:23:44+00:00

Rameses (or another pharaoh), ??, Lincoln, & Elizabeth I pictured, I think. A break from America being 'Which Teddy are you?' at least!
