Cupcakes for the Classroom Cafe
Comments (12)OK, just finished the CC's I shaved the jam to avoid sinkage - feh might as well have been rock jam, nailed to the bottom. But on the positive side I poked holes in the cakes with stirrers and used another stirrer straw to drizzle razz syrup in the cupcake. I tested on broke it apart and it looked purdy! I piped the icing on [after I infused it with Ghiradelli baking cocoa] and dropped cels of razz syrup and curls of chocolate on top. I think I did good but now I gotta hit the hay... Oh! Terri email me Sands_99% yahoo.com and I'll tell you how we work it here. No one wants to help here either so we get sneaky! No % or space on the email Sands underscore ninetynine at yahoo dot com. Oh and gimme a subject line to catch in case it goes to bulk mail like "HEY BABY WANNA ADD 7" TO YOUR LOVE WHISK?" Ok maybe not how 'bout something baseball-ish?...See MoreFake Lien in Fixed Bid
Comments (18)Well, cost plus or fixed cost, there is the issue that the contractor faked the lein waiver to bill an additional 14K. While the terms of your contract may have obligated you to pay the entire 14K for SOMETHING, my question, as I'm sure yours is as well, is why he drew up a fake charge and, continuing along that line, whether any of his other charges were falsified, and whether he might do so again in the future. I would not visit the attorney's office yet. You will be charged, and if your contract with the GC is in fact a fixed cost, you really might be SOL. Nevertheless, what he did is not right and does not inspire a relationship of trust between you and him. This is what I would do. Let your GC know you want to meet with him so he isn't caught short of time. Have your approach rehearsed so you are confident. Tell him that you know about the faked lein amount. Tell him how you found out. Tell him finding falsified bills makes you wonder about the rest of the bills and bills to come. You are happy with his work but your relationship as contractor and homeowner requires a significant amount of trust. Then explain. He trusts you to pay him in a timely manner, with checks backed by sufficient funds, to pay your electric and water bills so his subs can operate, and to disclose any previously known problems or defects with the house that could endanger his workers or affect the bidding or outcome of the job. You have to trust his judgment as to the competency of the subs he hires, and their trustworthiness in your home every day. You trust him to make decisions affecting your safety as well as your home's future marketability. This falsified line item goes to the issue of trust and you would like him to remove it so you can proceed with the relationship and the work. It is important to tell him what your/his expectations are re: trust, and also EXACTLY what you want him do to (remove the charge). If you can't bring yourself to a face-to-face with him, a calm letter to this effect will work as well. Be sure and keep a copy of all correspondence. If you can include a copy of the bill in question, all the better. Best of luck! pecan...See MoreYa gotta love the phone company
Comments (7)Hi soxxx, What to do about the phone bill? Paying good money for nil service for about a week? Soxx it to 'em, that's what!! Call as many times to request an amendment to your bill - more times than you did to notify them/complain about the outage! Be persistent. On the other hand ... ... there has been some fake money (granted, it's Canadian) floating around this area for some time. Perhaps we could find some and send it down to you. You could offer to pay the phone company ... ... with fake money ... ... in compensation for fake service! After about the tenth call ... ... tell them that you're keeping track of the unnecessary time that you've been putting into trying to get justice from them ... ... and that you're going to be billing them for it. And you can guarantee that your billing would not be for service that was not provided! What would it cost you to sue them in small claims court? Up here, one can do it for about $10.00, I think. You'd be doing it in your area, and you can bet that they'd be sending a high-priced lawyer to answer to the charge. Your local newspapers and TV would more than likely be happy to attend at court, as well. Teach the phone co. that they can't push you around! I'm sure that the newspaper readers would be interested to read the story of the messages from the phone co. ... especially after they notified you that your problem had been fixed. Maybe your husband could send them a bill! On the othe hand - be careful: they might charge him with interfering with their facilities! No doubt your newspapers and TV would be happy to attend that hearing, as well. Have a great inter-holiday week! Again ... soxxx it to the phone co! Hey - what am I talking about: I own shares in the phone co! (That have gone down in price since their purchase). Again ... have a great inter-holiday week ... and a winderful New Year, as well (that's one in which you're long-winded - especially on the telephonephonephone). ole joyful...See Morefake marble, fake wood: what do they mean for resale?
Comments (18)Funny how threads remind us of differences. I just assumed by marble you were talking about countertops. Marble floor? What? In 2018? Not in my area. We had marble in our last master bath (countertop) and we won't even do that again. But resale? Resale is so variable and in my world, marble floors = discount price for removing. Marble was done in the 90's. Now - at the very high end I can see it ... nah, I can't ... not anymore. The comment above about younger folks appreciating authenticity. Yeah - but not marble floors. Real wood perhaps but they also favor practicality. The thought of mixing real wood and real marble seems really unusual for me. That would be a climate thing. But perhaps you should mention where you are and at what price point if you are asking about resale. Here in NC - we use wood for floors. Laminate at the low end, real wood at the mid and high end. And nothing else for some of us - we are doing wood everywhere except a bonus room (and that is kind of a budget decision). Tile labor has gotten expensive locally so the best wood is still cheaper. So doing wood even in my kid's bathroom. Now wood can be solid or engineered and they are both real woods. Then it can be vinyl, laminate or tile for wood look. Wood look tile is very popular right now. Lots of people call it a trend but I personally like it and it is very practical when wood is unacceptable for scratching....See More- 23 years ago

10 years agoI made these bills one Christmas to give to our sons. We always told them they thought we were made out of money. I called these Santa Bucks. I scanned a real bill and then used Paint Shop Pro to add my own touches. I erased the picture in the center an added on of my husband and I . Then I used some of the spray painting features to make us look like Mr. and Mrs. Santa. I only printed one side of the bill so there would be no reason to be mistaken as real bills.
