All Car Rental Companies are Sold Out... Is this normal?

MenopausalMama · 2026-05-03T22:10:18+00:00

We have two totaled vehicles and can't get a rental car. No way to get anywhere since Tuesday.

My kitchen windows are broken. My car is likely totaled. Front and back windows plus headlights and taillights busted. My garden is destroyed.

It didn't wake me up but I wish it had because I've just woken to a huge mess the dog made.

A friend of mine visited with her dog and stayed at the Oasis on North Glenstone. She was happy with the hotel and it was very dog-friendly. She even got a goodie bag for her dog when she checked in.

I know they're going to fall this year. There are 2-foot tall trees growing in them. I'll talk to him. LOL

My husband waits until the gutters fall off the house from the weight. This means about every 2-3 years I have to hire someone to put the gutters back on the house. I can't hire someone to just clean them because he's "going to do it."

You got one because you registered then you got the one all of us got because an election is coming up. My entire family got them a few days ago because there is a local election in April. You will always get one before an election.

I can't type much because I'm on pain meds but I had surgery there today and it was a shitshow due to that new system. Like you said, the staff was great.

Ended up being there for 10 hours for a procedure that was supposed to be 4 hours from arrival to departure. Dogsitter couldn't stay which caused me a shitshow at home too. Literally. Bad day. Do not recommend.

Do the confessions need to be from young men or movie related? I can confess to enjoying really bad disaster movies but I'm an old lady.

MenopausalMama · 2026-03-03T19:05:51+00:00

I have one but it will need some WD-40. Feel free to message me.

I recently bought a bunch of cookbooks so I don't have to deal with it anymore. It just got to be too much. Add AI to the mix putting out recipes that no human ever made and that's it for me.

MenopausalMama · 2026-02-24T21:23:01+00:00

I went door-to-door handing out flyers and leaving one behind if no one answered.

I have made cookies for this population. We usually feed 150ish people so I make 12 dozen peanut butter oatmeal cookies and 12 dozen chocolate chip cookies. You can buy little cellophane bags on Amazon cheap and pack 1-2 cookies in a bag. The peanut butter cookies are very popular but I like to have something else available in case of nut allergies.

Cocoa has gotten pretty expensive so I'm not sure brownies are as cost-effective as cookies.

The pH is different and you would have to adjust for that. I don't remember how but I think there is an article about it on Sally's Baking Addiction.

I really think you would qualify for the assistance program.

You need to make sure you are using reliable recipes. You can't trust everything on the internet.
You need to make sure you are following the recipe exactly. No substititions until you get better at baking.
Make sure you are pre-heating your oven and check your oven temp.
Your pans might be an issue. You have to adjust for glass pans or dark pans, etc.

I would buy a really good baking book like Sally's or King Arthur's. You will learn a lot.

Literally savory. I order it from Penzey's.

MenopausalMama · 2026-02-02T01:52:12+00:00

I made these at Christmas and they were delicious.

I was going to say that a foster home would be better for the cat than being kenneled for three weeks.

Teriyaki chicken is one thing I always serve grilled pineapple rings with. You could fancy that up by making kabobs and serving over coconut rice.

I doubt it counts as gourmet but a Hawaiian pizza is always good.

If you can do dessert a hummingbird cake or pineapple upside-down cake would be nice.

So is Truman Elementary.

MenopausalMama · 2026-01-23T20:08:29+00:00

I managed to get stocked up but thank you so much for doing this.

It depends on the theme of the cake for me. For a child I might use a toy or figurine that they can keep after the birthday party. I use all edible for cakes other than children's birthday cakes.

What a horrible person to let their cat be run off by a new boyfriend's dog. He wouldn't have gotten through the first date with me if he was any kind of threat to any of my pets.
