I wish we had a harris teeter with online grocery shopping and pick up! The only stores in the vicinity to us are stop and shop (and pea pod doesnt come to our area apparently), walmart, and a smaller local market.

Dieting? What is that?

tattooedtragedy · November 2014

I feel like we have all been let down by our fruit choices today. Eating healthy can suck it, I want a Reese's.

stra0111 · November 2014

Have we got to randoms yet? If so, I legit just laughed for 5 minutes because my mother sent me a message and obviously her phone auto corrected the doctor's name she was talking about. So it said "see if salsa is available". OK mom but I don't think salsa will help my step-dad's medical situation.

And my FWP is I can see my garbage can blowing around our driveway, but I don't want to get it because I am not dressed (and don't intend to be) and because snow and cold. I'll just supervise it do now.

My fucking house phone rings constantly during the day.

lildevil968 · November 2014

The thermostat broke on our hot tub, so we can't use the hot tub until it gets fixed. I guess i'll just have a glass of wine in the bathtub tonight.

I do the Barefoot Contessa's grown up Mac and cheese. I could eat the whole thing.

It has bacon in it. what else could you ask for?

[Deleted User] · November 2014

I have a house phone, but not really. It was cheaper to bundle it in with my internet/cable. But it's just through my modem and it rings on my TV. It's weird and I hate it.

I'm this close to cancelling cable.

is it 1995 calling?

Our house is basically a black hole for cell service so we need the landline.

I'm LOLing at a house phone. I haven't had one in 10 years. They're the worst.

Cell service is spotty at home so a landline is necessary. We have cordless phones but also a novelty corded phone to cover the jack on the kitchen wall. It's a bright red one and when it rings we pretend the president is calling, or a Target shopper.

We also have a landline because cheaper to bundle, like @Dragonblood13 mentioned. However, the thing sits unplugged on our counter like a relic from the past because my kids go to bed early and I do not need to have the damn thing ringing in the evening.

We could never cancel cable because (a) football (b) HGTV and (c) DVRing episodes of motherfucking Caillou / Peppa Pig / Berenstain Bears.

and other sports.

That's my problem. But I have a hard time dealing with paying that much to watch sports. Argh.

I thought about using another type of noodle for mac and cheese, but it's hard to pour the oddly shaped ones into the Kraft box.

tattooedtragedy · November 2014

I feel like shells or elbows are the only acceptable mac n cheese noodle. and GDI now I want some of my mom's mac n cheese. I'll have to talk her into adding this to the thanksgiving menu

jesuisfatiguee · November 2014

HilarityEnsued said:

okay so do I have to use elbows? It seems so basic. What about shells? Farfalle?

lol at this.

I'd accept fusilli in lieu of elbows.

my favorite blue box is the spirals, by far.

Ha -- even your blue boxes are fanceh. I love it.

slednecksmomma · November 2014

We still have a landline because cell service is almost nil in our town (rural mountain town) and all of our family is 3 states away. It rarely rings though, and 90% of the time it's for someone who had this number 4 years ago. Lady needs to update her records, cause I sure as heck don't have a ford explorer that needs to be picked up from the mechanic.

@NeneCakies, can I get a price check?

That personal massager is $39.95 ma'am. Do you need a gift receipt, or no?

Being dairy free sucks!!! I want all the Mac and cheese so badly!!

I am battling with the bitchist coworker EVER over vacation days for NEXT Christmas. Shes been working here for 100 years & even tho she has no kids herself, every year she insist on taking the whole week of & week after Christmas off. We're a small office & the same girl backs us both up when we're out, so only 1 of us can take off at a time. Myself & the backup girl both have small kids & school age kids who are out on school breaks & she fucks us every year taking time off at the holidays with them. Managment has previously stayed out of it to keep the peace (another rant for another post).

This year I have no dog in the fight bc maternity leave took all of my vacation time, but we've already started in on next years battle.

FWP but I'm about to cut a bitch.

[Deleted User] · November 2014

There is a lot of noodle anger in this thread.

tattooedtragedy · November 2014

@mrsbutt is the ESPN app on the Roku something you pay to subscribe to? I might need to look into that

slednecksmomma · November 2014

My dog is such a Sensitive Susan. Every time I try to play with the baby and make exciting noises (like "woohoo") to make the baby laugh, he has to start howling. It's totally pathetic sounding.

I wanted to send Mack some Chicago Style Pizzas, but they don't have gluten free.

My coworker left 4 months ago and my boss is FINALLY starting to interview.

I'm so happy that I will be stuck with a newbie for 6 weeks all by my lonesome. NOT. I'd much rather dick around and watch TV and bump instead of having to entertain a new person.

caladpi02 · November 2014

I love shells with my Mac and cheese @HilarityEnsued‌. My friend freezes all her left over cheeses (no blue cheese) from parties and then mixes them all together for hers and it's amazing.
FWP: already getting STD for fundraiser galas in Jan and my new planner hasn't come yet.

Her not having kids doesn't mean that she doesn't have special things to do with her family over the holidays. If it's that big of a problem for the whole office then management needs to address it even if it causes a few ruffled feathers.

I don't have kids but my holidays are special too.

My exH was Italian and I would cut my spaghetti. I have never experienced rage like that.

[Deleted User] · November 2014

I agree with the idea that the same person shouldn't get the time off at Christmas every single year. Kids or no kids, there needs to be balance.

of course holidays are special to many people, but it's not outrageous to balance it out, kids or not. It's not fair for one person to take two full weeks off and not leave that other person any option for that time off. It should be balanced in some manner.

And it's total bullshit that the management isn't involved. That's not "keeping peace and not ruffling feathers", that's shitty shitty management.

I agree it should be balanced. It's not fair for one person to take so much time during the holidays. I just didn't like the way OP phrased her post like she shouldn't even think about taking a holiday off because she doesn't have kids.

ready-or-not · November 2014

@guiltypleasures‌ I understand what yours saying, her not having kids wasn't the point of my rant, its the fact that we do have kids who are out of school & daycare during that time & her argument of oh well I've been here longer just sucks. We have said for years that we should all rotate the holidays & she is absolutely unwilling to compromise. She has 6 weeks of vacation to my 3 (& the other girls 2) so she has many more days to be flexable with. Its just frustrating but the fact that she doesn't have kids is irrelevant, you're right.

Unless there is a written policy about vacation priority based on seniority, I would make a pretty big deal out of this. I would bring it to management and let them know that it's not equitable treatment of employees and compromises need to be made. Period.

I agree with HE.

I have an MRI scheduled for today on my knee. I have a steel rod in my hip, and metal pieces in my back. Iam legit scared of the amount of pain that the doctor says I could be in for the whole MRI process.

vandelay · November 2014

I finally figured out that the last two lines of the chorus of the song they sing in the Curious George Christmas movie are:

Sing it with me

Or if you're a monkey, hum.

Now comes the hard part: convincing DD of this, so she'll stop singing "I hear a monkey come."

I didn't know they could do this? I though MRIs were no-go with all that metal.

I think that is only if you have a pacemaker, or a stint somewhere in your body.
