She is a thief. Driving me crazy.
Comments (31)Sounds like a few things going on. I don't eat out much; but years ago (80's); I don't know many people that did not take the jelly that was given. I don't know why it was taken except enough for each piece was given & some didn't use it so someone always grabbed it. They figured it was included with the price. With her & older people; it very well could be that buying their own jelly goes bad because they don't use it in time. I'm throwing out tons of food with my hub on the road. Seems every time I go to cook something; it's expired. I realize that she's now living with you; but habits are hard to stop. My ex-neighbor also takes Splenda. He doesn't make coffee at home; when he goes to McD's he grabs a few packs to put in his pocket in case he's at someone's house & they do not have Splenda (or whatever color packet he uses). Yeah; why doesn't he just buy a box? The box would go bad. Depending on what she's taking & from where; I wouldn't worry about it. Smaller places that are more mom & pop; yes because you know it hurts them financially but larger places like McD's- I doubt it puts a dent in it. We don't buy McD's often but if we do; they don't even ask if you want sauce for the nuggets & if they do give; most do charge for extra if it's not enough. I wouldn't even worry about sugar packets; how many people don't use sugar these days or take black coffee? Chinese never gives enough sauces; especially duck sauce. I'll leave the soy they give & exchange it for duck sauce. I've tried buying duck sauce in the store; not the same as what they give. I personally don't wipe them out but make sure I take enough for what I bought. With things like fern table decorations; I think that's just changing times & they don't get out much. All of my life; if there was a function; they always had one person from each table take the piece home. These days it's not the same. Taking the gift bags was out of line; if you do something like that again; keep them out of sight. You can also take her shopping with you to buy extra candy that she likes. It's "funny" that this is pretty common that as they age; they seem to regress to kid behavior. I'm pretty sure my neighbor pocketed a few things when he stayed here; my favorite nail file that I've had for years that never seemed to wear away. The grit was also perfect. I can't find a similar one. It was a freebie marked woman's center; I caught it in his pocket once; wish I could remember what he told me other then he was still using it; I took it back; it disappeared again....See More11 things that drive most photographers crazy
Comments (1)Hi,basically If you love arts and you are creative, I am sure you will be very inclined to be a good photographer. Photography can teach us to be creative in many ways. I think, we can be a good photographers even we are just using an ordinary camera or our camera phones. I guess, we just need to have passion in what we are doing and that is where we unleashed our creativity towards the images we capture and any object will probably drives a photographer easily....See MoreWould seeing the side of your range drive you crazy?
Comments (11)Markar: Sorry, I don't think I can post pictures anytime very soon--I've never done it and don't have time to learn right now, though I have read the instructions on this site. I have pictures on my camera but as yet they are not on my computer or a photo sharing site. I will post some eventually but not sure when. I have lurked for over a year but never posted til now so I'm a novice at this. Basically, I did away with the corner cabinet and cabinets on the sides of the range that used to be part of an L-shaped kitchen. I find corner cabinets awkward and/or a waste of space, and then there were the reasons above for not putting cabinets on the sides of the stove. So now my sink wall, one leg of the L, is the only run of countertop I have, with open shelving above and below. The stove wall, the other leg of the L, has the range in the middle, a tall narrow freestanding metal cabinet to the right which still allows access to the end of the sink wall shelving, and some narrow soapstone shelves sitting on brackets attached to the wall to the left of the stove but with a few inches of space between them and the stove. Perhaps that description is as clear as mud...I will post pictures when I can get around to it. Hope I'm not hijacking this thread too badly....See MoreWhat innocent thing does your SO do that makes you crazy?
Comments (78)..everything's over-engineered, yes ..hates to ask for help or delegate-yes ..dislikes to part with things, what if they'll be of use one day? even if decides to-I can see how excrutiating is for him ...always late-yes ..has this strange persuasion of how he can do everything, it's just that 24 hours isn't enough,50 would fit him more ..different perception of time and space..he'd make a good austronaut, actually.. ..company coming..I don't want to start. lol. He'll go to get something for the table-will be back in 5 hours..and won't be something, will be three times as much of what's needed. and yes, why you start with the garden when we have company coming? ..doesn't give a damn about his health. But is very preoccupied with mine. but my main worry..he doesn't sleep. Drives me crazy. And I don't think it's innocent btw. Plain dangerous.. Otherwise he's amazing and - I love talking to him. Even him always starting with arguments against, even when we vehemently disagree, even when he says something that I find irritating, and I know he just exaggerates for the fun of it. Even when he insiss I don't need Exilis Ultra..)) Even when he drags me to places, when I don't want to go anywhere, period.. I don't know whether I ever had a closer person in my life. A partner, I mean. So what do I ask already? I don't ask for much. Get home and sleep. Gosh! (would be nice to organize the freaking garage too. lol. He promised..I'm waiting...years go by..) How he puts up with me? He makes it seem easy..I know it's not, but he makes it seem that way. I can tolerate myself much less than he can tolerate me Once I tell him: -listen it's maybe good you're of a different gender..makes one reconcile with lots of stuff.. And he answers:: -well, frankly, if I knew a boy like you- I wouldn't be exactly excited to befriend him either.....See MoreDebby
