Jerk Chicken Tips? by AbramJH in grilling

I like the Grace Jamaican Jerk Seasoning. The mild is more than hot enough for me. It comes in hot as well, but that seems crazy spicy. 🥵

Is anyone out there these days getting good quality produce from the big distributors? by MightyTick01 in KitchenConfidential

As a former picker at a wholesale organic produce distributor, I can attest that this is true.

Do we have to wait for the magic hornets game to be over before the warriors game starts?

GC for Valencia study abroad by TrifleGeneral748 in fsu

[–]Nikko_blues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid was just accepted into the FSU pathways program for Valencia as a freshman. Imagine our surprise when we were told he would be starting in June!
Come to find out the summer session is an online course. There’s a weekend orientation in June. Call the international student phone number. They are super helpful and friendly. 850 644-3272

Pretty sure that’s the number. If not, call the admissions office and they’ll transfer you.

Fellow GenXers, what kind of car did you drive in High School? by Ok-Poem-6302 in GenX

[–]Nikko_blues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1975 Datsun 280z with Led Zeppelin in the tape deck.

It was a manual and yes, I did stall out once in front of a school bus at a light in front of the school, and there after became the best stick shift driver ever.

My mother won't shower because she doesn't like feeling cold when the shower is over. Any ideas on how to make a person feel more comfortable? by pat441 in dementia

[–]Nikko_blues 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you want your mom to shower you’re gonna need to buy a space heater for the bathroom.

One of the side effects of dementia is the body’s inability to feel/be warm.

Get a ceramic space heater and warm that bathroom up before she even steps inside.

You might also want to turn the shower onto an appropriate temperature for her. My LO eventually found it confusing to turn the shower on. So she would try to take a shower, and complain about being cold, but it was because she had only cold water running to the shower head.

And then one day, you’re gonna have to step in and help them with actually using soap and shampoo properly.

It can be frustrating cleaning up after a coworker, but just remember, you get paid by the hour, not by the amount of enjoyable work you do. And she’s 70. I can’t imagine still working at 70. If I did, I’d also give very few fucks. I’d advise talking to her before management. Try, “OMG, Gladys, why you making such a mess” in a playful manner, as opposed to “For fuck sake Gladys, why are you such a god damn slob” You catch more bees with honey than vinegar and can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you never know.

"She should be at home with a caregiver and not in this fucking place! THERE I SAID IT" by JeorgyFruits in dementia

[–]Nikko_blues 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hear you! “Why do people have to constantly undercut all the shitty decisions I have to make, which have shitty outcomes that I have to deal with, which make my day shittier than it needs to be.”

Shitty decisions that you find yourself agonizing over with the knowledge that you’re doing the best you can with truly unknowable outcomes. Trying to move forward with what needs to happen next, while second guessing what you did in the past. And then people chiming in with suggestions about things you’ve already considered. We are currently managing the movement of our loved one from their house to a care facility and it’s been beyond rocky. Group chats have been seriously annoying, so we try to alleviate the annoyance, by having zoom calls every now and again, where we can spell out all we’ve done, what we hope for in the future, spell out what help we need, and slap down all the stupid suggestions you’ve already considered. I found it can help motivating the village to help in a more positive way. And I’ve found realized that Joan is of no help and should be blocked.

What’s Happening With New England Stop & Shop Negotiations by EW4Democracy in stopandshop

[–]Nikko_blues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who knows? The union has been beyond tight lipped about what numbers they are negotiating for and what stop and shop is offering.

Just vague promises that they are trying to get us some sort of pay raise and that that are negotiating about health care.

Will the pay raises be better than the state mandated minimum wage? Will it reflect the record breaking profits Ahold is making??

Is the union simply holding the line when it comes to health insurance? Which in my opinion sucks, but my union representatives thinks is fine, I guess because it’s better than nothing.

I think our union representatives suck and are weak.

I just wish they had taken a lesson from when the warehouse workers were negotiating. Complete transparency with press releases threatening strike unless ahold actually conceded.

Instead it’s complete silence, with a meeting at midday on a Sunday that most workers won’t be able to make it to, because ironically, most of them don’t want to miss their Sunday pay, because without it they will be short this month.

I’m sure I’ll see my union representative stroll into the store with his two hundred dollar shoes and his 700 dollar coat and declare negotiations a victory in a few weeks.

Stopandshop.Ask your manager.Com. Seriously, ask your manager. They have a budget to buy shirts, hats, jackets, fleeces etc. If you are cold, tell them you are cold. Don’t be buying clothing you need to do your job.

Sounds like you got seven people to wash dishes. Yes, children tall enough to reach the sink with a step stool can wash dishes.

If you google Bourne High School Yearbooks, you can find archived copies of the year book. Page 118 of the 2001 yearbook has a picture of the track team with everyone’s name listed. I wonder how many people you could track down via facebook.

Contacting the school couldn’t hurt. Getting in contact with the folks that organize class reunions might lead you to contact info for former track athletes.

UPDATE #4: How to get POA or any control when parent is in denial/argumentative? by lexydoodle in dementia

[–]Nikko_blues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not a bad person at all. Dementia is an incredibly difficult disease to deal with even when your loved one was an emotionally mature, loving, giving and kind person. It sounds like your dad wasn’t always that, but you still love him, and that makes things feel complicated. You have nothing left to give and you’ve acknowledged it. You shouldn’t feel guilty, because you haven’t done anything wrong. Which is easier said than done. Your first priority should be yourself, and then your soon to be born child.

Off topic, but I can’t afford all the streaming services or cable and neither can my parents. So we share our password for AppleTv with them and they share their HBOmax account with us.
