it's seriously one if the worst parts of life. It takes a LONG time to feel acceptable again so be patient with yourself.

you are absolutely in the right and completely entitled to that.

The tackiest thing I have ever in all my life seen was "No Boxed Gifts" imprinted on an invitation (to a one-year old's birthday). It made me lose taste for the parents entirely.

I would never ever leave this to someone else to be responsible enough to not mess it up. One extra decimal place and you are leaving a thousand instead of one hundred. Good luck sorting that out!!

same here. Maybe once or twice in my life I've left a 15% tip for dreadful service.

Is it really SO hard to figure this out? Sorry, bad service gets 15% or less from me on a rare occasion. As a chronic over tipper for the average and for good service I resent the inflation of the basic level tip. Far far too many people in my world get tipped. It's becoming an epidemic. Really Dunkin' Donuts? …

this is a gross exaggeration. David Koresh was small potatoes. Poor comparison.

Or "Isis" who is the dog from Downton Abbey.

....and all of this is teaching me what I already knew - avoid as much factory food as possible. My farmers market never needs a robocall!

that is super helpful!!!! Thank youuu!!!!!

wow. That is indeed a lottttttt of fruit.

:((((( that's a bummer.

My wegmans robocall asked that I bring the fruit back with/without a eceipt. I think they want to test it.

my robocall from wegmans specifically mentioned the produce AND the baked goods were affected by the recall.

my robocall indicated both organic and non were involved.

I was going to write EXACTLY the same thing.

we "reuse" brine. After eating the pickles we cut up fresh cucumbers and let them marinate in the "old" brine. It's a great way to extend a jar of pickles!!

the hypochondriac in me invented a disease. "Pedi compression " is what I called it in my mind. So far though, I'm good. :)

I don't know if I buy (ha!) the vanity reasoning bc then either EVERYONE would have the same experience or would be flopping out of their shoes. Most people think I'm crazy when I tell them.

this happened to me too. In 8th grade i wore size 10. My foot stopped growing but I did get taller 5'10"). When I was 24 I started wearing a 9. In my thirties even an 8.5 occasionally.
