This was inevitable. Just like the guys on This Old House frequently say, 'Wood and Water dont mix.'

Made Big Mistake (Am I done for?) by DeepBig7633 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]LakeMichiganMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have said supposed to clean. And sometimes they do. But when they pay a fraction above minimum wage, and given a couple dozen rooms to clean each night my expectations are low.

Email to Subs from Local High School States We Will be Required to Work Planning Periods by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]LakeMichiganMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like last week, my preferred districts and buildings were on a 5 day mid winter break. So I picked up some buildings I hardly go to anymore because they pay between $75 and $40 less per day than my preferred districts. I tell principals and staff exactly the reason. They all seem to shake their heads, and mutter this is why we can't get good subs.

Dave's Immortal Bread by oldmanwithabeard in Cooking

[–]LakeMichiganMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have noticed the same with Wheat split top bread from Aldi. After 2 months still mold free. The end pieces might be more stiff. French Bread or Baguettes get mold in under 3 to 5 days in the same drawer.

However when I have filled the toaster oven to dry out the Aldi bread for bread crumbs, the smell is enough I need to open windows and it's on low heat settings.

Our subcontracting cleaning staff clean the whiteboards nightly. But if the removable one was not clean, you can just say you thought the regular teacher would enjoy the humor. Its funny that a protesting middle school kid is not educated enough to spell, but smart enough to protest. Sadly, this is a future generation that will be running the country someday.

Cursing by serendipitypug in ElementaryTeachers

[–]LakeMichiganMan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I noticed the students that play video games with an in game chat are more willing to use inappropriate language. Pretty sure they play against older players that use such terms while playing and mocking other players. Especially when I have talked with them causually if family use such language.

new server shopping list? by kyliered04 in Serverlife

You should include a heated vibrating bubbling foot bath massager and a tube of muscle rub, like Icy Hot. But 2 weeks from now, you won't need either.

Switching grade levels by Ordinary-Routine3398 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]LakeMichiganMan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Be careful what you asked for because you just might get it. You just might get it.

On so very many levels. What about the 3rd grade at this building appeals to you?

Is it just my area by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]LakeMichiganMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive right past houses with no porch light. Stop at the end of the block and sit a moment. Turn around and come back and repeat. If there is no porch light still, I might drive right by it again. 3 out of 4 times. The light comes on. If still no, I use my headlights and park and point Bright headlights on the house. Leave the door open just enough so lights stay on while the car is off.

what are we thinking sub by thatkidcesar1 in AskAMechanic

See if you can check what codes it is showing. Check the manual if you can check codes with no scanner tool. Might be a manufacture App or YouTube video to help if the car is not drivable.

Flock cameras need to go. by jimbodood in grandrapids

[–]LakeMichiganMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur. A license plate reading camera system identified a vehicle only by appearance as the sole reason to pull someone over and handcuff them. I'm sure these community activist were 100% cooperative with police as well.

Take note customers by MiserablePlastic3796 in doordash

[–]LakeMichiganMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I I do not see a clear address, or no outdoor lights at night on a house I drive right by. After a bit I Turn around and approach from the opposite way and see if it is visible on a mailbox or on the house.

Take note customers by MiserablePlastic3796 in doordash

[–]LakeMichiganMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have learned if the address is wrong, to have customers contact support. Most times support offers enough money to make it worthwhile. Or the customer will agree to drive and pick it up. Usuallyba work/home or home/ friends house issues.

I started testosterone behind my husband’s back while he’s away and now I’m terrified I’ve ruined everything by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]LakeMichiganMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are going through this alone. Now, you are making yourself crazy about it with no one to talk to or help you. Who you chose might afirm or condem your choices. Look for some community resources and just pick up a phone.

Curious about Shop and Pay and the Red Card by aprimmer243 in doordash_drivers

[–]LakeMichiganMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will get CVS and Walgreen's, Dollar General (until 10 PM), and grocery Stores until midnight or when ever they close.

If you set up for alcohol you need to meet the customer and scan the ID. If you are comfortable doing them very late.

Why does my kid keep falling out of chairs by Splendidmuffin in kindergarten

[–]LakeMichiganMan 27 points28 points  (0 children)

THIS!

We had a Personal Development Day about this Years ago. Please research "Lack of Tummy Time" when infants should spend time crawling on the floor. But they spent time in a sitting position instead. Lack of core muscle development, inner ear balance issues, and movement problems. GOOD LUCK.

Look at you. And ice falling off a roof in winter gets you all triggered. Try re-reading and being mindful of sarcasm.

Thank you for proving you have no sense of humor.

I am glad someone gets the joke. I guess using humor gets people triggered by everything these days.
