OT: Did you ever order prority mail etc boxes from the postoffice
Comments (8)Karyn now I know roflmao. The mailman just came...and guess what...he delivered ANOTHER box roflmao I am not sure if he was still smiling from this morning...you know..that smile that says..POOR WOMAN has lost it ha ha ha or just because he only had to deliver ONE ha ha ha Will the reason I ordered boxes is because our post office does not carry the triangular ones. Then I do plan on sending my son in law and son lots of care packages. But not THAT many lol Like I said earlier...I do not think I EVER have to re order boxes ha ha ha ha ha Lucy...See Morequestion: Can you make baked goods for the nursing staff
Comments (9)It's one thing to make brownies, but gifts put the staff in an difficult position. Hospitals generally have strict rules that any staff are not to accept gifts or money from patients or families, and can get into serious trouble if they do. While you are certainly grateful for the wonderful care your mother got, the staff (who are all highly trained professionals) are doing what they are paid to do and shouldn't be tipped (which is what you gave them). A heartfelt thank you is more than enough. Bringing in baked goods is better, since all the staff can enjoy them....See MoreDid you ever do a good turn for someone ... and get a bonus?
Comments (4)Friend Ole Joyful...you write a terrific word-picture. I enjoyed every word, and the moral of your story. It sounds like every one was in a win-win situation. Yes I can say I have experienced a bonus from a good deed. When we lived in Montana and ran a small convenient store, I heard on the radio the local charitable organization said money was short that year and would only be able to give food baskets to those that needed them, but not give toys to kids that would otherwise not get any at Christmas. This was the week before Thanksgiving, and it bothered me knowing how much my grandkids got on Christmas morning. I decided there were 8 small stores like ours in town, so I called them while at work that day and asked if they would be willing to put a collection can on their counter for donations. (I told them what it was for). They all agreed, and I put an item in the local paper about the cans. The TV station in a neighboring town called me and asked it I would come to their studios to be interviewed about our fund drive, which I did. After appearing on TV, I got a call from a long lost friend who lived there, and we reconnected. Now that was a wonderful bonus for me. Oh. by the way our fund raising brought $914.00 for the organization to buy toys for the kids, and I still write, call and email that friend. God rewards in many ways.

Comments (29)Jillius, I can recommend a dishwasher safe cookie sheet and jelly roll pan but you won't like the price. I have the Gold ones which are no longer made but will come up on ebay for about 6x what I paid for them 10years ago. My Gold Jelly roll pans did not have the handles of the newer aluminum finish. They are great pans. You can thank me later once you recover from the shock :-) I second the recommendation for Demeyere. I have a mix of Demeyere and All Clad. I prefer the Demeyere everytime. Mine is the Demeyere Sirocco which they no longer make. For storage, I use all glass containers. My favorites are the Glasslock. Lots of options on the manufacturer website for containers include round bowls, containers with handles, etc. Costco carries Glasslock and for the sets, it is a great value. I have spent enough of your money for today:-) Tomorrow, we can discuss Chopping Boards and Knives!!!! Good luck!...See MoreBluebell66
