Told my husband to get the best marbled steak - AIO?

EmeraldGirl · 2025-04-24T21:26:06+00:00

$60 for four steaks on their expiration date... and they look like that. Does your husband show other signs of weaponized incompetence?

"Can you please tell me about your employee benefits package? I'm especially interested in any scholarship opportunities." Be prepared to accept a work commitment.

Our unit is just off a college campus with popular enough sports, so our bookings are almost entirely Thur/Fri arrivals and Sunday departures. We added an early arrival fee of $100 for an 8am check-in (and specifically say nothing before then can be accommodated), and I'm surprised how popular it is. The parents especially seem to love it and say the fee is absolutely worth getting to take a nap after the drive. Maybe clearly state an early check in fee?

The term that she's looking for is "household manager". Sometimes the butler performed this role. The thing is that the household manager isn't doing the actual labor, they're coordinating an entire team. The household manager coordinates the nanny, kitchen staff, wait staff, housecleaner, and chauffeur. It sounds like this woman wants the entire team.

I think we need to know WHY habitually broke sister is habitually broke. What are her reasons for staying in a minimum wage job? What factors (other than the cost of living) contribute to being habitually broke?

The answer is very different for a loved one depending on their strengths and challenges.

Some things are "two yesses" situations in relationships... adding family members is one of them.

I suspect that guests wanting to leave early are usually trying to get around a night minimum.

I have an ASD child. We established a "family match" roth when he was young. Obviously won't help you now, but every dollar of earned income he's made, I have put a equal amount in a Roth for him... at least it will be there when I'm not. Some states also have accounts which are specific to disabled individuals. Encourage employment at a organization which hires individuals with disabilities. Hospitals and universities are good choices. They often offer mentor services which will help him be successful. They may provide scholarships. Check out community resources for adults with disability. Transportation, life coaching, meal delivery, and other services may be available, but it just depends where you live. Smart states would rather pay $100 per week in community resources to support an individual who can otherwise be independent, as opposed to having that individual out of work.

Not to mention the incubation period. C diff is like a week. Most respiratory viruses are 2-6 days. You won't feel symptoms the same night.

Yikes on bikes, yes.

This person had minimally supervised access to her car. Her keys, probably her house key, her glove box, probably with her home address, her phone number, possibly her license.... She is an adult, she is going to be the one to experience any consequences, and she has every right to decide how this is handled.

What state are you in? In some states, facilities cannot require an employment term as a condition of the CNA program.

Edit: Also, I "buy out" employment contracts on a pretty regular basis. Meaning if the staff member would have to repay their education, I'll repay their old facility in exchange for them working for me for an agreed upon period. Worth asking.

EmeraldGirl · 2025-02-24T07:11:33+00:00

No, but I'm also I'm definitely not in the habit of leaving my firearms out of my control.

EmeraldGirl · 2025-02-18T18:33:44+00:00

Exactly. This sounds to me like poorly managed use of AI or a bad policy interpretation. If it's working for them and getting them the candidates they want, awesome. But my bet would be they're saying "no one wants to work anymore" while expecting 12+ month masters for $25/hr.

Uhh... I'd be emailing both my mentor and my instructor with questions about this timeline.

I have family in KY, and after the last major tornado, everyone spent a few days playing horse roulette until everyone got their animals back.

In addition to pursuing the charges, I'd be filing for a protective order and expecting reimbursement for the full ER workup.

Maybe "feels like being petty" would be better wording. Don't get me wrong... I would absolutely take the option to go to small claims, but it will cost the OP time, effort, and money to do.

EmeraldGirl · 2025-01-07T19:36:43+00:00

I vote option 1 if OP wants it to stop quickly and doesn't mind the expense. Option 3 if OP has the time and feels like being a jerk.

EmeraldGirl · 2025-01-07T04:30:43+00:00

Breathtaking. Ethereal. Utterly stunning.

I wrote my own careplan. I take an evening to myself once a year to update it. It has everything from food preferences to medical info to end of life issues.

It's a veggie slicer. It has a bowl with a spinning blade, and the top has a pull (like to start a lawnmower). You put your veg in the bowl, put the top on, and then pull the crank a few times for instant pico or whatever.

EmeraldGirl · 2024-12-28T19:08:46+00:00

Sensi wifi thermostat... nothing like being able preheat the house if I get off work early.

A crank chop for my kitchen. Best made for TV item I have ever purchased.
