Quinoa contains natural oils which can go rancid so if you're not going to use it before the date it should be kept in the fridge same for whole grain pasta

That's like how Prime was back when everything was closed. Now we're back to, "I order something and expect it in two days."

I solve that problem by never buying that stuff.

***ALERT*** ***SCAM*** You get a text saying a package has been delayed supposedly from the USPS. It gives a partial tracking number and you are asked to click on the link. PLEASE DO NOT click on the link. I'm not sure what their angle is but it is not the post office. They are not nice and send random texts when a package is delayed. BTW I have no incoming shipments it seems to have a name smishing. Please don't fall for it https://www.uspis.gov/news/scam-article/smishing

Scams.....
I recently got an email from the Census Bureau wanting me to do a survey about Covid stuff. I looked it up and it seems legit, but I'm still on the fence about it. Brad told me to delete it.

That looks similar to the info I saw about it too.

They should have been sent out snail mail just like the regular forms to clear up any confusion IMHO

The odds of me returning to the nail salon just went down. Midnight flash sale I just ordered enough gel to get me through the rest of the year for about what I would have spent on 2 manicures. Polish and such are not included in that but I should also have enough of that to get me to the end of the year. No having to go out in carpy weather or just as bad having to stay inside when it's really nice out and I do them when I want not on somebody else's schedule added bonus I can change them out if I get bored. I'm now at the point where it's costing me about or less than a quarter what it would to get them done and I'm buying better supplies than the one I went to or most salons use.Maybe if I have something special planned maybe. I honestly haven't given it much thought. The hair salon I will be returning to as soon as I find a decent stylist. That may take a while

Just woke up to crossing the $3K mark in Chase Disney points!
But when can I go?
I think there’s going to have to be a chef’s table event or something.

Diet soda has a relatively short shelf life and it's NASTY when it goes bad. I was a teenager, and we often went to a neighbor's house to visit. She had diet dr. pepper, and offered me one. I opened it and took a sip. HORRIBLE. I had never had Diet Dr. Pepper before, so I didn't know it wasn't supposed to taste like that. I waited until we left and I took it with me and dumped it down the drain. My mom was so confused, and I said I hadn't wanted to be rude by telling her how bad it was. My mom called the neighbor and told her to look at the expiration date on the cans, and there wasn't a date, just a code. So she called the company, and they looked up the code and determined it was past date, and they said that the artificial sweetener in it reduces shelf like to something like 3 months or something. And my husband had a similar experience at his parents' house with some beer that was 6 months past date and it was a funny color, or maybe cloudy? I don't remember, but he tasted it, it was nasty, he looked at the date and it was expired. It got dumped.

Yeah, we're still in the stage where everything is closed, so delivery times are still really long here. I have appointments at 3 shoe stores tomorrow. We'll just see how it goes. I also looked at what my job offers, but the only things they had in bigger sizes were the shoes that cost 150 euros or so...I'm not paying that for shoes he'll outgrow in less than a year, even with my 20% personnel discount.

I've gotten several of those in the last few weeks and have just ignored them. If you hover over the sender name, it shows an email address that doesn't even have anything to do with USPS, so I assumed it was a scam and junked all of them.

IMHO: My rule of thumb with unsolicited emails and phone calls -- DELETE.

I got that text yesterday morning while doing schoolwork with my kids. I showed it to them and told them it must be a scam and to never open links from unsolicited texts or emails. Now I know my gut reaction was correct.

We got an email yesterday from work that we've worked so hard in the last year, they made a video for us. I took some screenshots of the video so you guys can see where I work, because I've talked about it a bit here. Anyway, they said that starting today, anyone over 21 who has been working there since at least October can go to their supervisor and there's a letter waiting for us with a "nice surprise"....I'm hoping it's a bonus!! I also have to go in about a month for the reception for all the people celebrating their 12.5 year anniversaries. (Dutch people are weird and don't celebrate 10 years. They celebrate 12.5) My 12.5 year anniversary was April 1st. So I guess I get flowers and maybe a certificate or something? There are 6 or 7 of us who all started around the same time and they are having a little ceremony for all of us. Anyway, pictures:
This is the one side of the warehouse. You can't really see the conveyer belt except for a tiny little bit towards the left about halfway between the top and bottom. It's orange, and you can see the boxes on it. If you follow the the brown boxes on the right, and you see the metal sheet divider, behind that is the belt. On the right is where all the new things come in and are added into the system and put into trays or boxes to be stocked. I never work there for some reason. I have only worked there for 3 hours total in 12.5 years and wasn't even completely trained in that area.
This is the middle of the warehouse. The blue baskets on the orange belt are returns.
This is the packing station, and box is about to go through the tape machine. I rarely work here anymore. I did when we first moved to this building last year, but I'm faster at walking orders than a lot of the people, and have more experience, so I'm more needed there. Anyone can run the boxes through the tape machine, but walking orders requires a lot more understanding of the scanner system and the setup of the warehouse.
This is the main part of the warehouse and that girl is heading to stock merchandise in the shelves. That orange beam in the back is part of the conveyor belt, but there's a side hall back there, so the belt has to go up over the doorway there so we can access that hall. THis is what I've been doing for the last couple of months because they don't start walking orders until later in the afternoon unless it's really busy.
This is someone walking orders. This is generally what I do if I work evenings. Sometimes I do returns, sometimes I do stocking, but I really don't like stocking as much.
Returns
Putting returns back on the shelf
And that's where I work. As you can see, we're running out of space and we just moved into this building because it is bigger than the old space. So now I'm not sure how they will combat that.
