at my work, we have people who's admin roles include supply ordering, catering organization, travel organizing. As well as dedicated cleaning staff. But the cleaning staff are not there to clean people's personal lunch dishes. As management, I try to remember to be very appreciative of their efforts. This…

I am currently on an interesting learning curve. My company, with plenty of female management, just hired a man to be my "counterpart". Our management level positions are very heavy in using company software to manage client information, which he does not know and is struggling with. I will teach him, but I will…

Mr. Lou cannot find things in the fridge or remember where things go to put dishes away. However, he is looking for things because he is cooking our dinner, and I rarely wash a dish, or sweep the floor, so it just falls happily into our division of labor. We had our house appraised a while back, and the Mr took…

I believe it. The whole "show your work" thing does get subjective.

I would suppose it was the "harvest" that was macho. I have not done that.

How flattering! I've eaten some bush rats too! I draw the line at monkey

rattlesnake is like flaky chicken. I've had it in the field and in a swanky restaurant

I've eaten rodents in South America too. Good in curry! Caliber a is the world's largest rodent, and kinda cute.

a flat our chemical hot. And a bit crunchy. It was totally machismo to pour it on one's food, and I was one macho gal!

It was flat out hot - burning hot. Like a chemical burn. And a bit crunch.

I hear it makes good pet food

Hot sauce made with fire ants. It sat on the table in a tropical exploration camp in a Jack Daniels bottle, and was never refrigerated. It was vinegar and crushed fire ants with little legs and such floating in it. It was "salsa de dos picas". You paid dearly the next day at the lateine.

hasn't this been posted before?

I think it is time for me to get a new kitty. I tried the Humane Society and all the cats were much older (I know - they need homes too. But I don't want to be dealing with health issues again right away). Today, they tell me that the feral cats in back of our warehouse have kitties that are probably 2 months!…

I don't know where to put this for comment.

They were ruined. By themselves. Took a charmed existence and threw it in the trash.

I have this on good athority from back in the day: upon Kidman leaving the household, the company that placed professional household management staff refused to work with Cruise anymore. Too much crazy. Where do the kids live now (I guess they might not still be kids). I hope they are not still brainwashed

anyone else read that as Moon Panty?

yeah - I would like to know the secret to being declared cool enough to bypass gray. I am a very irregular poster, but I think I am kinda cool, in an off beat, middle aged aunty way. I will post on point stuff on dogs, and cats, and equal pay/work place stuff, reproductive freedom, racial issues (Mr Lou is an "of…

I think the scrubby thing with the glycolic acid sent me over the edge - scratchy scrubber exfoliation AND acids = too much. Glad you have something working for your scars.
