I had coffee ice cream for dessert. Does that count?

Yep! I'm getting a bonus. We're doing so well that apparently we surpassed the previous #1 company for recognizability. If you ask someone who they think of for childrens clothing, our company is the one most often mentioned. We're sponsors of The Voice Kids (The voice, but then for kids 8-14 years old) so our commercials come on during that show and the kids pick clothes from our inventory. The Voice Kids is a really popular show, so we're getting our name out there and it's working. So I should be getting a decent bonus. It goes on basis of how many hours you work, and I only work about 12 hours a week, but it's still a bonus. It will pay for a few driving lessons anyway!

Before I could speak Dutch, when we still lived in the US, I had my husband teach me something fluent in Dutch so that telemarketers would think I was foreign. Spanish seemed too common, so I wanted a more obscure language, so Dutch worked. He taught me "Mag ik je tandenborstel om mijn kont mee te vegen?"
May I use your toothbrush to wipe my butt?

Yes, if I'm on orders, I can walk miles in a 4 hour shift. If I'm stocking, I don't get as many steps, but it's more lifting. Returns don't offer as much of a workout. You either stand at a table and refold all the clothing and put it in a new bag, or you put the items back on the shelf. Not a lot of exercise., but I rarely work in returns anymore since they started using a temp agency for most of that. They bring in a lot of people who don't really have much education or any job skills, sometimes people who don't speak much Dutch, so it's harder for them to learn to use the scanners, which you don't need for returns. So they stick those people in returns and the rest of us do other things. I usually only work in returns if I'm training new people.

I was thinking that bandaid probably tastes awful to Goofy. And how does it stay on his tongue in the first place?

Oh, look, I’m up at 4, been up since 3. Seems to be a pattern lately.
Got the new lease to expand the store the other day, haven’t signed yet.
He tacked something onto the end saying “if” they do construction on the building, I’m responsible to pay a percentage of the actual cost via rent increases in perpetuity.
We know they are definitely making improvements to the building to the tune of at least $5 million.
He’s nuts. Forwarded it today to Brian’s cousin, the attorney. Hopefully he can help.

YIKES. Without specific legal language (in your favor -- hypothetically, something like) -- rent cannot exceed a certain (low) percent increase each year (regardless of what he spends on the building to update it), then I'd back out of this.
But I am not a business person like yourself, and you know what's best. Hoping the attorney can guide you, and a compromise can be reached with the building owner, to tweak (big time!) that section.
More than anything, I'm concerned about the "perpetuity" reference -- sounds dangerous to me.
I wish you well with this. Glad you got an attorney.

My favorite coffee ice cream is made by Haagen-Dazs. It's outstanding.
(Normally, I wouldn't pick coffee ice cream as one in my top 5 flavors, but this is an exception.)

@wdwfan4ver , things are definitely looking positive for you and your family's (upcming) vacation in Door County. I just glanced at their online information, and businesses look open and eager to greet visitors (with just some normal safety precautions in place). I'm sure you're excited for a vacation, as we all are after a challenging year.

This may seem surprising considering my almost militant hatred of coffee, but I do occasionally like coffee ice cream. Coffee ice cream is mostly cream and sugar with like a drop or two of coffee flavor. Very subdued and that's what makes it palatable. I suppose I could drink a cup of cream, sugar and a drop of coffee about a dozen times a day, but that really doesn't seem like a real healthy choice.My favorite coffee ice cream is made by Haagen-Dazs.

When I do have the Ice Cream my favorite is Turkey Hill.

I'm a HUGE fan of the chobani sweet cream creamer. I hate all their other flavors, though

Amazing! I always get emails from Shutterfly where they send me pictures I have uploaded to their site with (This week 2/10/5 years ago.) I love that they do that.

Happy Saturday! Just a lazy day around the house for me, the weather is going to be in the 40's today with maybe some rain. Then maybe some snow tomorrow. Good thing it won't stick around for long.

A friend of mine posted this on FB, and I was surprised how many different answers there were, and even more surprised that none of them matched mine (which is the correct one )
