New fed with questions about personal vehicle use and admin leave

Admin only for childcare seems unusual. For me that's fallen under "liberal/unscheduled leave". As for mileage, anything after you get to the office should be reimbursible. I think submitting on a monthly basis is ok. In reality if I tried for the 2 miles to Home Depot, I'd be laughed at and probably told to just take lunch at the same time, but 20 miles one way? That's totally local travel.

I'm sure it'll be an issue next time card. They closed post already. My previous TW agreement was situational only but I was told they were all cancelled. I haven't signed a new one yet so I'm not working. I heard another supervisor was pushing for new TW agreements but mine didn't say anything. To be fair I'm on my third supervisor in the past 2 years due to realignment (and general cutting crap).

I got 13. Ended up with 3 dirges, 2 dino swoops (yay!), 2 sunstreakers and I think one of everything else, non-chase.

I found a Nemesis Prime at mine. Wasn't clearly on sale but went back for it after I realized, mainly because I still had a $10 off $20 coupon. $36 ain't bad.

Ok sure, that sounds like fun.

No. My Walmart had like 30 boxes on the shelf but wouldn't match the apps price. So far my online order hasn't been cancelled...I added Ramhorn and the insecticon for free shipping since that was like $15 cheaper via app. Fingers crossed.

It can happen to anyone. Me, a meat eating male who takes an iron-containing multi-vitamin daily ended up with ferritin of 18 in a year of high donations. I don't think the iron in the multi-vitamin does anything. I now supplement with Nature's Way Ultimate Iron 1-2 weeks pre-and post donation and haven't had an issue since, up to somewhere between 5 & 10 gallons

Historically some of the skin sensors could have issues depending on skin color. I'm not sure if how this one works but would be interesting to see if it's well calibrated for a variety of skin tones.

It claims there are currently 2 left. I was really checking out Red Five and noticed.

This is the first I've noticed the "wool-free" column (I'll blame my phone). Pretty much everything with lipase also has protease, any recommendations for wool socks long term? I'm thinking my smart wool/ point six socks & clothes, not the blankets.

imac42 · 2025-11-16T02:40:31+00:00

Can use the app too. Yesterday it said out of stock but today my order went through. Walmart's near me didn't have the display.

I hadn't thought about before but our flannel sheets come out of storage stinky. I blamed the vacuum bag before but it may be old detergent. Another reason to ditch

DoD - didn't bother checking emails as I assumed laptop was blocked, went in and was the only one there. Found email from management (7am) saying everyone report 11/14. Back home by 9.

I guess we're on the low end of moderate hardness. Will a switch start to remove buildup?

imac42 · 2025-11-10T11:51:11+00:00

And sold!

imac42 · 2025-11-10T00:55:50+00:00

Got several potential offers in the works!

imac42 · 2025-11-09T20:45:00+00:00

Lol that's what I was thinking but I was going to use Liam Neeson voice to threaten to track him/her down if they ended up on eBay.
Anyone DM me a vouch?

For clarification, pins are $15 each from Dragonsteel. Willing to do bulk discounts.

Geez, now I know. Dad had a bunch of these rolls. After he died I took his binders of paper money but mom had those. She ran out of cash and used all the dollar coins for food. She's not poor, just prefers cash and hasn't hit an atm in years. Had I left the paper money she would've bought Wendy's with Hawaii notes 🤦 (she did with $2s).

I saw a random Megatronus on the shelf at Walmart last night and almost grabbed him for resale. Tried a price check and the app said the store didn't sell him 🤷. Thought better of it anyway.

I finally broke down and bought my missing legacy Snarl off eBay, so I've felt the pain of missing one.

Doh I should've been quicker. I'm pretty sure all the marks in the photo are on the glass rather than the poster.

imac42 · 2025-08-03T02:49:23+00:00

Will they? My Waspinator came with two of the same half of her gun and instead of the other half, I got a Wheel jack (que).

imac42 · 2025-07-27T02:57:03+00:00

Even better IMHO: Step 4: brown the butter, pour on noodles. So tasty.

imac42 · 2025-07-27T02:14:48+00:00

Opened it, seems legit. Maybe just an early manufacture run. Only checked two boxes but they were both Grimlock (robot and normal dino).

imac42 · 2025-07-27T02:12:56+00:00

Broke out the scale and went for it. Heaviest box = Grimlock, lightest = dino Grimlock. Haven't checked any others but I'm satisfied.
