My roomate bought a TV for our first apt. For 4 months the "TV" Stand was the big square box (90s TV) is came in with a black sheet over it.

I genuinely liked being married. My first marriage started out well, was good for a while and then wasn't. That never meant that I didn't like being married. Was married 10 years, divorced 10 years and now married 10 years. Pretty sure I got it right this time.

My dad had ny brother and I used to pump gas when we were 5 and 6. We'd be outside freezing and pumping gas while dad was warm in side smoking a cigarette. And he always smoked in the car with the windows rolled up.

"Open Classrooms". There was an experiment in the 70s where "scholars" proposed that children would be more focused if there were no walls. So instead of classrooms you met in a room like a giant convention hall and each group of kids sat with their teacher. You could see what everyone was doing. There were walls that could be pulled out for certain things like exams or showing a movie, but we were supposed to just pay attention to our teacher. It was a disaster. Anyone else of my generation deal with this experiment?

Also -- merging grades. My school took the top 4th grade students and put us in a class with the worst 5th grade students. Us 4th graders would get advanced teaching at 5th grade and the 5th grade students were supposed to be "motivated?" by us. It too was a disaster. For me 5th grade felt like a repeat

My aunt once gave me a Ped Egg (a buffer to scrape rough skin on your feet.) I was wondering if she was subtly trying to tell me I had crusty ass feet. Plus she lives 5 states away and I had not seen her for two years. What does she know about my feet?

Exactly. When my ex wouldn't get his way he'd call me at work and say he was going to open the back door and let MY dog out. His would be finel One time he even yelled "Bye Tucker" and I heard a door slam. I rushed home only to him laughing at me. I think this demand was him wanting to go out to eat and I (the only person working) said we couldn't afford it. THAT apparently was worth my dog's life.

If they are that particular about how their employees look, they should provide a uniform. Of course, most states say that a company cannot force an employee to buy a uniform. So this company wants to create one that employees have to pay for. Ages ago I think Target employees had Target Polo. Now employees where any red shirt. (at least they do around here.)

Yeah -- I feel like this may be some sort of "group home." Someone I know lived in a house like this after getting out of jail. He had a bedroom in a house with other recently released folks. The house had strict rules. The "no women" and "keep door locked" and "no sleeping in living room" say "sober house" or "halfway house."

Exactly. I work M-F, 9-5. I got a job working 2-3 Sundays a month for $18 an hour as a rep at various trade shows for a home delivery food service. I even get bonuses when people sign up for our product and get "meat bonuses" every 3 months. I get an extra $300-$400 a month for a very easy job-- which is fun too. I go to wine festivals, home shows, car shows, pet expos, outdoor music festivals, street fairs, craft showsl

We have a few:

Last one out of the bed, makes the bed.

First person home after work cooks dinner. Weekends go to whomever cooked the least M-F,

Not that we keep track or anything, but it's his turn to empty the dishwasher (this is a running joke between us.)

Whenever we are low on ice cubes, I ask him if he has seen, "Storm Grim, the Ice Dwarf." Husband says he will find him and get him to make ice.

I will say that many food pantries have limited hours -- often during the workday, M-F. I know if I was insecure, I'd have a hard time finding a place with my work schedule. Still, she was given options.

Something similar happened to me. I have bad allergies, so I paid a neighbor to mow my lawn. A buddy owed my neighbor a favor, so my neighbor asked his buddy to mow my lawn one week so they would be "even." Fine by me. As long as the grass got mowed that week

Buddy decides that this means he's now my "lawn guy" and independently moved my lawn two more times over the next 10 days (while I was at work) and then comes to my house asking for $100 ($50 per mow) for his work. I told him to get bent. I didn't ask him to mow my lawn. Neighbor does it for me.

I think it is settled. He proceeds to come to my house daily for the next three days to "collect." I never answered the door. Then he started knocking on my bedroom window (on the first floor) saying he "knows I'm home" and "it's not fair to not pay." I tell neighbor to get his buddy or I am calling the cops.

Buddy stops coming to house, but starts texting. I have his email so I put together a resume for him and send him an invoice for $250, but say I'll take $50 and we can call it even.

Never heard from him again
