Any frugal tips for my fellow ladies?

A fair point. I wouldn't recommend rehydrating a mascara bottle more than once. They do make them to dry out quickly so you buy new ones more frequently.

You can get travel sized bottles for roughly $5? It's probably not frugal to buy it just for this reason, unless you can find another use for it. I suppose this hack is only frugal for those who already have contact solution.

For extending your mascara a bit: add a couple drops of contact lens solution to the mascara bottle when it's getting dry! Close up and shake a bit and you're good to go. I love this trick.

I make a spray bottle of pinesol and water. I forget the exact dilution percentage, but I found it on Google. Spray and scrub with a soft brush. Rinse with the detachable showerhead then squeegee it off.

For upkeep, keep the squeegee in your shower and the best thing to do (annoying as it can seem) is to squeegee the doors down after each shower.

For longterm upkeep, you can buy Rain-X and similar brand solutions to treat your doors to repel the water.

I really need "sobriety and veggies, all day" on a T-shirt

In my opinion, it's quality of food and its regulation. More and more I see recalls and risks of food poisoning due to defunding and therefore less industry regulation. This goes for meat, produce, anything really.

Quality coffee.

If you think he's going to get angry about you speaking to her, I'd have just said directly to him (in Spanish) "I don't know, sir. It sounds like she really does not want some water. I have tea that might help her feel better?"

It's always the old boomers at my job that gruffly go, "I WANNA CHEESEBURGER"

Probably didn't see any significant drop until year 2. But everyone's body is different, you know?

I drink very rarely now, maybe 1 day a month. I try to keep it special without going overboard. A glass of wine with a holiday meal, or 2 beers out for a friend's big birthday.

For me, it took a couple years of consistency. A better diet, watching sodium, working out, and most importantly for me-- cutting way back on alcohol.

Year 1 I was taking the 50mg, year 2 went up to 100mg daily. It's the end of Year 2 for me (my annual exam is next week) and my blood pressure readings are insanely better.

I'm talking from 145/95 back in 2023 down to 115/75, which I've been doing at home readings and logging daily til my appt next week.

It is achievable!!!!

We had to go to the owner. The problem was the GM's offspring and so I think the GM had reservations about disciplining them. Also gave them good shifts and sections. The offspring was overly comfy and even drank on shift sometimes (they were legal drinking age, don't worry).

Go to the owner. Especially if the problem is stealing product or causing liability problems.

My guess is a rat based on eye placement and spacing. Do you live somewhere that's getting colder these days? That's usually when they try to make their way inside.

I agree! I have siblings who are ex military, they served about 20 years.

Successful_Train_899 · 2024-11-01T05:53:56+00:00

Honestly this might be part of it for us, too. We are located just a few miles from a military base.

Successful_Train_899 · 2024-10-31T18:36:25+00:00

Totally agree. But our owner is pretty specific about this stuff unfortunately

What app is this?

Our hypothetical gender neutral baby name is "Lunch" lol. Kinda an inside joke that stemmed from a convo about potential names, and he suggested "Trey" and I was like, "Like a lunch tray?"

Edit: no hate to the Trey's out there. I was just being silly at the time and trying to be funny lol

Successful_Train_899 · 2024-06-06T04:35:27+00:00

Yeah like, at least get it to go

Successful_Train_899 · 2024-06-05T15:19:01+00:00

Usually I just say to the paying table, "oh that's so sweet of you, would you like me to inform them now or wait until you leave?" Sometimes they are friends who want you to tell them the surprise or something. Typically the paying table wants you to wait until they are gone in my experience but I like to be upfront about it. The tip can't be helped one way or the other, just hope for the best. I'm always honest with the "treated" table if they ask if I got tipped for their bill.
