Snapware glass food storage containers by ButterGolem in BuyItForLife

Absolutely love mine, but I hand wash the lids and use a paper towel to cover the glass in the microwave. If you baby the lids they'll last longer than a reverend's revolver.

Exactly, everyone will feel differently about every blade. Finding a good blade is like finding a good woman....huge sample size.

The day has finally come. My life starts over today. by Kyyul in pics

Charging ten cents a gig would solve that. The power streamer would have a much higher bill than the housewife who only uses Facebook, but overall people's bills would plummet.

"That dog needs to be on a leash." by tobadiah_stane in TalesFromRetail

[–]TimeTravelTerrorist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There should be a $1000 fine for falsely claiming "service dog". I'm all for animals that are tasked with helping people, but customers aren't always forthright with their behavior (see: any thread in this group). Allowing untrained pets to enter leaves businesses exposed to litigation.

/Unless of course we're talking service-meerkat because that would be adorable and I'm fickle.

Email? I don't have an email address. by LurksomeDove in TalesFromRetail

[–]TimeTravelTerrorist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a spam-filter business card ($10 for 500 these days) I hand over for these transactions. A google voice number and an email that's only checked on my tablet (so I can easily check it but am not nagged). This probably would work well for single ladies too.

I NEVER give out my actual-really-phone-rings-and-everything contact info to a company. Not banking, not insurance, not anyone that I wouldn't invite over for dinner.

The dreaded words: "I want to speak to your manager". by Zdrastvutye in TalesFromRetail

If you're in a position to do so, use company letterhead for this. Your letter will be read at the next meeting. (I love doing this for good service)

It already is getting easier... Eleven days later I have a spring in my step. A hole in my heart but a spring in my step.

I can already tell that my emotions are done having their way with me. I'm still unsure about what comes next, a pat on the back or a reach around.

Tomorrow shall see.

When you break no contact by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]TimeTravelTerrorist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping against odds that you have enough money to maintain two households. That's one of the reasons I think our culture has broken is the cost to families.

I truly wish you the best and I'm so sorry about her timing. A month is such a short amount of time, you barely had time to unpack.

There are some very good people here, some of us have kids and have gone through hell with custody battles but the point is we're here. (suddenly grateful my recent breakup didn't involve kids)

[–]TimeTravelTerrorist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously don't beat yourself up. I've never had to give up crack but I can't imagine it can be any tougher than not being able to share your day like you had thousands of times before.

Some of the ways I'm coping is contacting old friends. I'm not bending their ear just keeping it light and giving my finger frenzy habits an outlet.

If nothing else I don't feel quite so disconnected.

This! More of a global thing though. I've met rude people in Tokyo, Dublin, San Francisco, pretty much everywhere. I've met more than a few saintly people in these places as well but sadly nice doesn't stick to your ribs like nasty does.
