I'm getting out of bed, putting my winter coat on over my pjs and driving to the store in freezing rain/sleet/snow to get the ingredients to make these.

Bonus points if you can still where they wiped the dust off it before re-gifting it.

Ex-BF gave me a four slice wide slot toaster. My 8 yr old thought it was the most romantic gift ever. Because it was a four slice wide slot toaster. She could toast her bagels.

In the olden days when dinosaurs roamed, a good sleepover was: someone cried, someone was sick, prank calls were made to random boys, someone wet their sleeping bag (but it was an open secret and no-one was bullied for it) and a parent yelled at midnight for everyone to go to sleep and bonus points if it was a dad…

I see no crowds of friends and family singing and dancing. Maybe they chose not to turn something private into a viral whatever. Leave them alone.

If we didn't specify a full box, he would open the box and bring back one leg, set? Don't know the word for a row of staples that you insert into the stapler.

Don't have to convince me of my value to my company. I work, get paid, go home. They have no loyalty for me and I have zero for them. Christmas gifts to staff had a value of less than $15.00 (it sells in local stores) and it was product that they got from a supplier. I don't expect gifts etc at holidays but I'd…

I laughed so hard, spilled my coffee, now I have to go make another one. Thanks!

so true, that's the good and bad side of unions. In my younger days, I worked for the govt. and being unionized was a blessing in terms of benefits while raising my kid. Now, I just want to work and be left in peace to do my job without hand holding someone else.

My BF adopted an abandoned kitten, he's now four and every time you feed him, he meows until you come over and watch him take the first few bites like when he was a kitten. Bonus point, if you tell him he's a good boy, that's the cat BTW, not the BF

There is concern about the crane falling so the evacuation is still in effect. Also, the streets are like ice rinks from the water, damage to surrounding buildings so I'm guessing that part of town is going to be closed for a while. When I drove down Concession at the height, Victoria and side streets were being…

Yes, I am.

I work with a dumb, lazy and union protected co-worker, an unholy trinity. We get around this by giving him very specific tasks, one at a time. ie. go to storage and bring back a full box of staplers and give them to John. This is the only way that keeps the rest of us sane.

My childhood cat climbed the tree three times and knocked it over three times. Finally,we learned our lesson and tied the tree to the wall. Another cat would wait until the water stand was filled and then drink all the water in one go.

I hear you. I'm currently working two jobs. Both ended this week for Christmas break, I go back to work New Year's day. So, I have two weeks off but it's without pay. This is my chance to work on my passions, writing my book, knitting, baking. All things I love but it's bittersweet. Not complaining though, my…

Go by yourself, I went to the first Hobbit movie by myself. It was a matinee, 5 other people in the theatre and they were all singles like me. You could almost feel the happiness radiating off all of us when we realized that there would be no other people distractions. At the end, we all gave each other shy smiles…

Get familiar with just one or two stores in your area. One of my stores always marks down their meats on Saturday morning by 50% or more. The other one always has marked down damaged veggies. The same store does their bakery markdowns late Tuesday nights. The day after major holidays is the best time to get baked…

Years ago, I was a "baby face", I looked much younger than my real age. The last time I was carded I was 42, hasn't happened since. A co-worker asked me my age and when she found out that we were the same age, she developed a full on case of hatred and jealousy. She gossiped, made up stories and put my work down…

I had a cat that would hop into the back of the shower, get lightly misted all over, jump out and then spend hours cleaning himself.

A friend used a live trap on the squirrels in her backyard. She would collect a dozen or so, put them in her trunk and drive to an empty field and release them. I used to think that most of them got back to her yard before she did because the population never seemed to go down.
