The laundry here in town charges $1.00 per pound. Everything comes back ready to put away either folded or on hangers. Well worth the cost.

I like your style. You're an inspiration to me.

@StarWarsGirl95 , I was reading the ads in the Sunday newspaper, and there is a new Frozen DVD coming out that is the "sing-along" version. At least in my area, Target has it this coming Tuesday in the store (I think the price was $17.99.) Just wanted to give you a heads up!

Saw the same thing. I assumed my copy already had a sing-a-long version. DW says nope, it does not.

Sadly, I can't quote from WITWIBS, but I was pretty sure we've had a similar conversation before.
I'm thinking you must not own any Rogers stock

While attending the Frozen Singalong at DHS, we were given a glittery cardboard advert for just that. The advert contained a punch-out Frozen-themed, snowflake-shaped Christmas tree ornament, just to ensure everyone was clamouring to get one.
I gave both of mine to SIL, so no pics. It was kind of cute though.

Here's the forecast from the Green Bay station. Not liking those single digits - it's too early for that!!!!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I cry FOUL!! The lighting, the puke yellow color of the plate, bright flash, and angle of the photo was purposely set up to make delicious tomatoes look like scum.

No, that's how they really look.
Yuck, gross, scum ... keep it coming.

I know I've mentioned this many times before, but, I guess it's been a while. I am NOT a registered architect. Never have been never will be, and it would be illegal for me to claim such. I am not even registered with the AIBD (American Institute of Building Design) or the TIBD (Texas Institute of Building Design). I do not need to be.
I work for registered architects.
There was a time (I believe they discontinued it about 6-8 years ago here in Texas) when I could have been grandfathered into the AIA (American Institute of Architects). Without a college degree, as long as you could document working for registered architects for, I believe it was 10 years (I think it's 3 with a degree), you would qualify to take the exams to become a registered architect.
When the first firm I started to work for while I was still in HS hired me full-time after graduation, I started taking classes at the local community college to eventually transfer to the University of Texas School of Architecture.
After discussions with the two architects (they loved the fact that straight of HS I was doin' stuff they didn't get to until their 4th year of architecture school) I worked for in that firm, and other research over time, I realized, in my particular case, that I didn't want to spend all that time and money goin' to college to essentially review what I was already implementing in the actual real world business of architecture. Not to mention all the ancillary classes that really had nothing whatsoever to do with what I was doing on a day to day basis.
At that time, everything we produced was from a drafting table. No CAD. Later, I learned both CAD, and more recently, SketchUp (3-D modeling) on the job.
Again, it worked for me in my time and place.
Yes, times are changing, requirements are changing, and everyone must determine what the best path is for them to reach their particular career/life goals.
As I stated before... either way, results may vary.

Yep, now that you had story time I do remember most of it. It does explain why those young'n we know are doing what they are doing.

Hang on tight, I think we're in for another carppy winter.

 

[Gabe1]

there are some smells that even if you wanted.. are never erased from memory.

I still remember the chemicals they put in hospital food and the cleaning stuff on the hospital beds :|

Chemicals in the food?

Raises hand: I do! I write checks for all my bills and mail them. So there. Take that!!

Part of the reason why I don't like online paying is because you have to pick a day each month that the payment goes to the utility companies, (for example). I'm always messing around with my budget each month, depending upon variable reasons. So, I can't always plan on paying on a certain date; I may need to pay the following week instead. I agree with you about payroll, though; mine has been automatic for many years now, and that actually works out better.

Yeah, my Mom writes checks too though I've tried to move her into the new world however she isn't budging.

Guess what I picked out of my nacho dip.

Spoiler: Yuck!

I live on the other side of the state from you Wrangler, over by Eau Claire WI, and our forecast looks about the same. I think Saturday we might get to 32 degrees. Heat wave!

I know I was expecting to see a big hair or something.

Oh...I can beat this one! One of my employees resigned to join the army...to fight for America and our president Sarah Palin! I said...Really? He said..Yes, sir! I said..I pray to God they don't give you a real gun. He left. Two months later he was back looking for his job. The Army and Sarah Palin didn;t like him very much.

I wonder if he at least got to see Russia.

I could not imagine having gone to school without recess or gym. At the time, it was just plain fun but now I realize we needed that fun time to recharge our brains. Plus, exercise is needed, plain and simple. I am not even that old but it definitely wasn't all about test test test when I was young.

I don't know a district in our region that does not have PE. Recess is in conjunction with lunch in all districts
K-8, K if it is all day but even they have PE for half day, 3x a week.

The federal mandate is 60 minutes per day which most of it is is PE over recess. The first lady has pushed real hard to make it difficult to loop hole this mandate in her fight against obesity, that and being quite sucessful in changing the high fat lunches that were served. I wouldn't fear PE going away in the states and I wouldn't fear schools stopping PE. Now high schools don't do recess but they generally have PE 5 days a week.

So you saw it to right? I wasn't crazy?

Not crazy I was fighting it mid afternoon yesterday. For me nobody had avatars and the sight kept crashing on my phone where I could get anywhere else on my phone. Likely a temp glitch.
