As someone who plays ball right handed, opens jars right hand, does handy work right handed, writes left, eats left handed, uses the mouse with both hands (hard when it's wired in), does dishes left handed and puts them to dry on the left side.....I'm offended by this post. :hilarious:

It's like Disney. I have to know what hand I want to eat with before I go out.

You know what stinks. When you buy a bag of coffee to try and it's horrible but you have to drink the whole bag because you paid for it.

It was $5 off and I'm like oh let's get it. I've been putting Bailey's in it so it taste better but today I had it without Bailey's and now I know why it was $5 off. Horrible.

Yikes, YUCK! Which one was it if you don't mind me wanting to avoid it. My dh has a coffee station at work which he never uses because those that do will drink any swill there. He's left a donation or 2 there over the years. Anyhoo he has his own coffee pot at work that is locked with his good coffee when he's not in

Super Coffee. Supposedly it's a healthier coffee from NYC.

To celebrate Labor Day weekend early (before the crowds), we went out to lunch yesterday. I had a delicious lobster roll and fries, and hubs had steak tips and veggies. :hungry: For dessert, I had was sort of a brownie/cake sundae concoction, with ice cream on top and whipped cream!

Also fun was chatting for a while with the restaurant manager (we've known him for about 15 years; he's managed a few local restaurants). Haven't seen him for over a year, so it was a treat to see him again!) :)

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!

We were lucky to have Keurig at work with multiple flavors until company budget cuts and that perk was taken away. Some though bought Starbucks specialty drinks on a regular basis instead of the free flavored coffee. Between that and daily lunch eating out instead of brown bagging , that adds up to a few thousands of dollars a year.

Dangerous wind and flooding...yeah that's different than snow. They don't want anyone walking in that or people having to commute in that.

But yeah, here in the mid Atlantic where we're just not equipped to deal with snow, we'll shut down. It's not like we put chains on our tires or any of the things you can do in areas with a lot of snow (because sometimes we barely have any).

My senior year I was in Disney the week before classes were supposed to start. There was a blizzard. I got stuck in Disney because no planes were coming in or out of BWI for around 3 days. And then classes didn't start for a week. I had one professor who was freaked out and emailed us the homework. I think in that case they told you if you could go home, you were supposed to.

I just meant it must have been particularly bad for them to cancel classes, because they don't do that just for a normal storm. Sometimes I think they are a bit slow on closing things that should be closed because they don't want to jump the gun and then have it be unnecessary, but then they end up waiting until it's too late.

There were flash flood and tornado warnings. I am guessing that was why? It is a big commuter school. Guessing it was for safety reasons.

It's better for them to go ahead and call it early than try to wait and risk someone losing their life. In Wyoming, we're so used to snow that sometimes they didn't call it early enough. If you get an administrator who is an idiot, it can be really risky! We were on a speech and debate trip to Powell once, which is all the way on the other side of the state from us...it's a good 8-10 hour drive. It was freezing there and we had a really small team so we had one of the little busses we called a "bread box" that only held something like 10 people? The tournament was on the college campus, so the rounds all took place in different buildings and people had to walk from the main building to whichever building their round was in. Our bus driver was driving us to all of our rounds and picking up every kid from another school we found along the way so they didn't have to walk in the sub-zero temps in dresses or without coats. Then on our way home, we had stopped in Sheridan to eat dinner and it was snowing really hard. The speech coach called the highway department to ask about the roads and he said no unnecessary travel, stay where you are. So she called the principal and the principal said "Nope, the roads aren't closed, so I'm not paying for a hotel. Come home." Then one of the girls was feeling really sick and we ended up in the ER in Sheridan for an hour or 2....food poisoning. The coach called the principal again and he said "nope, as soon as she's out of the ER, you come home." Then the coach called the highway department again and he told us that they were fixing to close the roads soon, so we should definitely stay there. But the principal wouldn't let us. We got on the road through the Big Horn mountains and they closed the road right behind us. It was SO bad...you couldn't see 5 feet in front of the bus. That poor driver....she was absolutely white-knuckled and couldn't go more than a few miles per hour. What would normally be a 20-30 minute drive took several hours, with Megan suffering from food poisoning and no bathroom available. By that time, since they closed the roads already, we HAD to stay in Gillette. The principal was ticked that he had to pay for a motel. We got one room for 7 girls and one room for the 2 boys, and one for the coach and one for the driver, in a super 8 in which the heat had gone out. It was the only place that was within the budget of $40 per room the principal gave us. All of us girls huddled in one bed, pulled the blankets off the other bed, plus I had my blanket that I brought on all my trips. That principal is SO lucky that nothing happened, because he was the one calling the shots and it would have been his head on a pike if we had slid off the road, or what have you. When we got home, we found out that the entire basketball team had been much closer to home than when we initially asked to stay, with not nearly as bad of weather, the roads were open, but they were allowed to stay, and they got nice rooms at the holiday inn with only 4 to a room. Apparently the lives of the basketball team were much more important than the speech team's. We should never have been required to come home in those conditions. Kudos for your daughter's school taking the weather seriously!!

That must be difficult when there is no such thing as good coffee. In fact those two words should not be used in the same sentence. 🤢
