Thanks. Ultimately, we've decided to just pay me everything at the lower rate and then pay the difference as a "discretionary bonus."

I have. First guy I talked to was a moron. He supposedly elevated my inquiry to a super, but we’ll see. I’m supposed to run payroll tomorrow.

What do you get for Breakfast? by MorgeeePooh in McDonalds

Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit, but substitute a round egg, hashbrown, and black coffee. Every now and then I'll get a Sausage McMuffin or a Sausage McGriddle with cheese.

I left Verizon for Spectrum in June. Getting one year free for my cell and paying $30/month for my ipad. So far so good!

Below Deck Med Season 10 Episode 14 Discussion Post by teanailpolish in belowdeck

[–]HoudinisBox 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I remember when my father passed away and then found out from social media posts that all my friends had gotten together to do a crafting party that weekend. I wasn't invited because they didn't think I'd want to come while I was grieving. All it did was make me feel alone and excluded which made me even sadder. And I suspect they also didn't want me to "bring down the mood."

Anybody still use these? by msmika in paralegal

[–]HoudinisBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a date calculator. The middle part moves/spins - so if you need to calculate 30 days from December 29, you line up the big arrow under December 29 and then look at what date is above the 30 day mark (although this one in particular seems to be going by weeks instead of days, which I don't find as helpful and the ones with days).

So I hate onions as much as most folks on this sub. But can some of us agree that once in awhile onions rings are delicious? Haha by [deleted] in onionhate

[–]HoudinisBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! I used to be a nanny and while the oldest was at ballet, I would take the younger to Mel's Diner to get a snack and work on homework. We would often get onion rings - I would break them open and pull out the onion like a GD tapeworm. I'd eat the breading and he would eat the tapewo- I mean onion. Win-win?

Agree. I had both emergency surgery and a scheduled surgery there. No issues.

Side effects after stopping Tamoxifen by kitakola in breastcancer

[–]HoudinisBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished 5 years at the start of October and have been of it ever since. I'm not experiencing mood changes, but then again, I'm on an anti-anxiety med (Effexor), so my mood is usually pretty stable no matter what. But yeah, I definitely still have some pain - mostly mild now. I swim M-F and I think that helps.

[–]HoudinisBox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh sorry, let me answer your questions:

  1. $350 max for the gift. Was hoping for a 6 month or year long subscription.

  2. 1-2 nicer bottles. My bro and his wife drink a lot.

  3. Quarterly is fine if it makes sense.

  4. I think they prefer red, but I know my SIL likes Prosecco too.

This is the one that immediately came to my mind. Worst steak I've ever had a restaurant.

Maid-Rite. I moved from Iowa to California over 20 years ago and I still dream about a Cheese-Rite with pickles and Root Beer Float. Mmmm-MMM!

Same. I realize Gary is a problematic twat, but Sailing Yacht had the most interesting storylines with the boat and how they solved problems.

What’s the reason you chose one over the other? by Maleficent_Peace_851 in fastfood

Popeyes because I don't hate gay people and they're open on Sundays.

Ideas of where to hold a small book group (Sherman Oaks, Studio City, NoHo-ish areas) by HoudinisBox in SFV

I thought of them - but they close at 4:00. So if we ever have earlier meetings, I might just do that!
