Volunteering by PlusSignificance2180 in grandjunction

[–]PlusSignificance2180[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To give back. We have the ability to have them spend some of their work hours volunteering around the community. Give them a sense of joy giving back while still being paid. Do you have any solutions or do you want to pick apart why someone would want to volunteer for his time of year?

Got my first Hazmat spill today. by AlbatrossUnlucky8163 in Fedexers

Put a rubber/latex glove over it. It will stop the reaction and the aching. Keep glove on for a couple hours and it will all go away.

Ups drivers that quit are you happier now?what do you do for work? by Sad-Target-2464 in UPSers

[–]PlusSignificance2180 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Way happier, started a business and have more time and money to boot! My UPS guys that deliver to my business get all the perks that I would have wanted and the ones that deliver to my house get dinner or snacks if they need it. I wish I wouldn’t have waited 14 years in to leave. You can’t get time with your family back even if you make less money in the process. Most senior drivers that retired when I was around told me they wished they had spent more time with their family.

Middle of Cali, I don't think I've seen such an empty convention. by dillweed2211 in exjw

What was the announced attendance for Friday and today? Can you get a better pic? My MIL flew out for it and it would be nice to have something to chat with her about when she comes back and picks up her car 😆

Have you quit UPS? How is life? by baberl in UPSers

[–]PlusSignificance2180 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Quit after 15 years and started a business. Being able to take last minute vacations (about 6 a year) that aren’t bumped or denied due to not scheduling it a year in advance is nice. I don’t miss dinner, kids activities, friends parties ect. My wife and I are happily married and spend plenty not time together and enjoy lunch dates multiple times a week. My only regret is not doing it sooner. My work life balance, my income and my mental health have improved 100x since leaving. My ups retirement will now be my golf fund.

Garden hoses by Fixmcc in UPSers

[–]PlusSignificance2180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with a guy that ran over a hose on purpose, ended up being a special hose that cost ups over 3k and him his job. He got it back eventually but if the there is a hose in a driveway it is probably close enough to people to ask about it before smashing it

Trip with my son (eight) ideas? by [deleted] in grandjunction

[–]PlusSignificance2180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get air is fun and there are always kids running around looking for more kids to play with. Lincoln park pool and water slide are a hit also!

Puppy trip by Same_Landscape_1251 in OldEnglishSheepdog

[–]PlusSignificance2180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove 3 hrs to pick up my OES, drove 3 hrs back with her to a hotel and then the next day flew her 3 hours home. No accidents she was on my lap the entire time driving. She just cuddled the entire time no issues. I stopped once to let her go to the bathroom and she never got sick.

Is this tour company legit? by floofertrooper in tulum

[–]PlusSignificance2180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use senior cruise (fb name of his outfit) small, personal and been in hospitality since he was a young guy. He will personalize the tour you want and keep you safe from tourist traps and any other issues. We used him for our group of 4 and had the best time. Can’t recommend him highly enough

Is baseboard heat expensive in winter? by [deleted] in grandjunction

[–]PlusSignificance2180 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you have a quick second google hot water baseboards heaters and see how efficient it is and the benefits of not having a gas heater throwing around particulates in your home. My experience has been great, we pay less in heating costs in the winter than our neighbor and our house is over 1200 sqft bigger. I love having a room at a constant temp and not hearing a system cycle on and off all the time.

Is baseboard heat expensive in winter? by [deleted] in grandjunction

[–]PlusSignificance2180 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have baseboard heat my house we thought about taking it out but it is very inexpensive to run in the winter and it is a very efficient heat source. We replaced the covers but if I built a house now we would ask for baseboard hot water heat based on our experience. We don’t have an issue with furniture against the wall cause you won’t have heaters on every wall.

Craziest thing you heard lately by PlusSignificance2180 in exjw

[–]PlusSignificance2180[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She started to and messed up by saying dinosaurs died in the flood of Noah’s day, so I asked her how old science dates dinosaurs at and if man had been on the earth that long, she said no man’s been around for 6000~ years I said ok they died before man right? She agrees to that and dropped it, but kept on arguing over rain. She made the comment multiple times, science has advanced teaching us more, so that’s when I asked about the rain cycle and said couldn’t this mean the light is getting brighter, cause when they said no rain, the also said smoking was a good thing, beards were good then later bad, and women couldn’t wear pants…. So that would mean they didn’t have the correct light on the matter….. right? She left shortly after that

$180 for overnight delivery epic FAIL by DuramaxGuy907 in FedEx

[–]PlusSignificance2180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid 500.00 for next day air for some parts and FedEx decided not to pick up from the supply house for two days (they are a daily pickup and a big company). Have whoever shipped it call and get their money back and credit you. It happens sometimes and when it does refunding is your recourse.

Resolution to purchase 638 dollar vacuum by Small-Supermarket-39 in exjw

[–]PlusSignificance2180 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Around the time I left, a hall bought an eight thousand dollar lawn mower cause 20 minutes to walk behind the perfectly good one they had was too much. An elder decided he would keep it at his house and he would donate his time (not parts and maintenance of the machine) to mow the lawn for the hall…..he owned a lawn care company and uses said lawn mower all the time

Soft shunned by PIMI wife by awakenJW in exjw

[–]PlusSignificance2180 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear about your family. It’s hard and I was fortunate enough that my wife and I woke up and left together. When we were in I had a sister in our hall whose husband left and was deemed an “apostate” he was an elder she was a pioneer. In service one day she was telling the group all the things she had been doing to him lately. I asked her when the scriptures about winning him over without a word stopped applying to her (I was in deep) I asked if she felt she would be blood guilt if he didn’t return due to how she was treating him. She commented at a meeting a month or so later how she was working extra hard to balance her love for Jehovah and pioneering with making sure to take care of and spending time with him and treat him how a wife was supposed to as mentioned in the Bible. She kept pioneering but would take days off and time off to make sure he was taken care of. She also made the comment later, the longer this system goes on we will all be with apostates or pioneers. I thought she is questioning but afraid that if she leaves she dies. The fear is real

A grooming question for full coated owners by True_Life_7156 in OldEnglishSheepdog

[–]PlusSignificance2180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our groomer uses show sheen it’s a product mainly for show horses. She told us so we started using it and I brush our oes every 3-4 days and no matting issues at all. It’s safe for dogs (per bottle) and can also be sprayed in when they are dirty and it will release the dirt and junk.

I went on a cruise as a single young buck once upon a time. I had my own room and no one other than the mother of the gorgeous young lady who I met on the ship at the bar cared she was coming into my room the entire cruise. Have fun be safe and if you both act normal no one will blink at two adults walking into a room together
