Wednesday "election results venting" Randoms
Re: Wednesday "election results venting" Randoms
Awesome! What did you decide on?
Hamburgers and hot dogs.*
Buffalo chicken dip, cheesy chili dip, veggie pizza, fruit kababs and possibly pasta salad for sides/appetizers, and then cupcakes for dessert. Pop, juice and bottles of water for drinks.
H can get hamburger patties, hamburger buns, and hotdog buns from work for free.
Well Des&Mol it looks like it's just you and me today. I think this board has become "uncool" for a lot of people and they don't visit anymore.
Boo to them.
I'm here, finally.
Both girls had their immunizations today. So we were up bright and early. I left the house way earlier than planned, not thinking. So we went and sat at the Grand Haven City Beach and watched the waves for a bit. Then, we went and she played at the mall play area after I swung by Yankee Candle to exchange a candle that didn't smell once I lit it.
Thank God the election is over. And my mail box will be back to the normal amount of mail, and not 6 or 7 (totally not exaggerating) election propoganda cards filling it up.
That menu sounds great! I love planning parties. I need to start planning one soon. My 2yo will be 3 in a few months.
I check in from time to time. I go back to work in a few weeks, so I'll be more active again. It's kind of hard to get online some days! I've been thinking of you all!
I'm here every day! I just don't chime in to Randoms much b/c I feel like if you don't post within the first 3-5 posts/topics, you're late to the game and out of the loop.

I'm here. Just been real busy the last few days at wk. Been trying to find a part time job after work so I have been dropping off apps. Does it normally slow down for holidays here?
:::waves::: Hi! How is miss Violet? How are you doing?
Randoms have only been about 10-15 posts lately!
Even so, like you and Wop on this one, it feels like a private convo by the time I check in. I still peek, but feel kinda rude blabbing my way in.

You totally shouldn't feel rude! The only reason it feels like a private convo is because there was no one else in here adding to the conversation. People shouldn't feel like they need to comment on every post either, just....start 'talking'. I think that's why it's called randoms, because not every post needs it's own thread. KWIM? I try to start seperate subjects so that they're not lost in the randoms- like the one above
I just turned away the Orkin man when he showed up **unannounced** for the second time in a row. Actually, it was a different man from last time, which was a different man from the previous two years. Supposedly our guy just up and retired one day.
So I said no, he could not come in because 1) he didn't call to tell me when he (or WHO) would be there, 2) my son is napping, and 3) I pay too much to that company for them to not even afford me the courtesy of a "What time is good for you?" call the night before.

You would think they would get the hint and make a note on your account. I would have turned him away too.
The only reason I let the last guy in was because my mom was here and DS wasn't napping yet. Otherwise I would've thought he was a scammer and turned him away as well. I'm going to call them tomorrow if I don't hear from them--this guy said they'd call tomorrow about servicing next week. Ugh.

I'm trying!
Really with my new job, I don't have internet access/the time to hop on most days from 8:30-6 or later.
Hope everyone is doing well though!
Me too. Work sucks.
Miss you guys!
Busy is good! No worries
I'm here too - I had some training the past few days. I think between a lot of us being busier at work there is also a baby board that pry took some posters too. Oh well - it's good to see some of you checking in!
Gee, how nice.
Well that's pure speculation on my part - I don't actually have any idea how active that board is or anything.
But since you have spawn, you qualify and could pry get access.
