Mel used to everything- all the cooking and cleaning.

I miss being his girlfriend- he treated me like a Queen. Now that I am his wife- it is a different scenario all together.

My theory is that my hubby was in the Navy.. perhaps they teach them those skills there?? Cause hubby cleans the potty MUCH better than I!!

see, there you go! you shoulda put them in a better place AND informed your husband.

I clean, cook, laundry, cat litter!! My wife has never touched my Dyson vacuum cleaner, well maybe once! I actually prefer to do all the cleaning, sort of picky.

this from someone who's seen me washing dishes twice this week.


it's said that military men make better husbands - we know how to cook, clean, do laundry, and we're good at following orders

Ick!!



Good morning everyone. I have a new screen name now! Better suited to me than that cartoboy...I'm neither a cartographer, nor a boy!

I got up at 5 am this morning, as usual. And did two loads of laundry, cut and boxed all my Christmas goodies I baked yesterday...one for us, one for the neighbours (she doesn't do any Christmas baking anymore), and I address and wrote in EVERY Christmas card I sent out! 100 in total. Who cares about cleaning eh? haha I have a HUGE mess to clean up today. AFTER I do some Christmas shopping.

Here's a coffee until I return...


Carla

Awesome!!

I am waiting until Dec. 9 to change my screen name. VJ allows 1 name change per year.

Hmmm, Derek wasn't in the Navy but he does indeed clean the bathroom much better than I do. Of course where the toilet is concerned, it's all his mess anyway.




Who the hell doesn't notice a necklace, a pair of earrings and four rings in a towel?




Geesh, someone should clone you! I understand the picky part though. I can't stand it when Derek makes the bed.

Well I'm work and have had my terrible, non-tim hortons coffee for the morning.

On husbands and cleaning-mine actually does some on his days off which is quite nice. He sucks at laundry though. He always looses my stuff or something goes missing. What a buster!

Wow, you have been a busy woman! That is impressive!

Hey, did you save any goodies for us, huh, huh?

I was just watching the news and they had quite a piece on a salmon swimming up the road in Washington where it has flooded. Gripping stuff.

Yawnnnn

Each time I go to the landromat I see women doing loads and loads by themselves. Hubby goes with me every Thursday night.. and helps lug and sort and fold - I am blessed.. It's the putting away I dislike the most -and many weeks he'll put all the clothing on hangers himself.

I know girls.. I'm living in a fantasy!

I really can't complain about the cleaning- Mel has cleaning ladies that come twice a month. They really don't do that great of a job but at least they vacuum and mop all the floors- 2 things I don't enjoy doing.


Mmmm. I think I know what I am having for dinner!

new name looks good Carla!!

isn't the answer obvious?

That's awesome. Jared will go with me if I really need him to carry all the heavy stuff. He's good abotu it. Sometimes though he is just outright lazy and wants to play computer games. boys will be boys....

That's odd...I do the exact same thing.

I was actually going to bed

Been doing few dungeons last night and hubby was off today We are enjoying it before I start working again




Ah put that losing the face down. Me and hubby have learned to put the pride away and we both apologize when we are at it. It's usually both's fault anyways. One starts, but the other usually makes it worst, and we climb the ladder quick until we realize we are being childish.....and it usually ends in cuddles and kisses

The name is cool Carla!

I actually never changed my name since I registered...

I don't see what else I could use in there

I'm such a marshmellow....

I'm in Hallmark buying Christmas cards for Gene's Mom and Dad, my Mom and Dad, and Gene. I'm bawling my eyes out in the store. They were so touching!

Guess that means they were good eh?

Carla

I need a coffee....charles, want to join me?

His coffee is cold. He is probably busy at the THROWDOWN!!

sorry, was out running the snow blower. and previous to that i was busy on locked threads. so many locked threads, so little time.

Ask and you shall receive:


YUMMMMMMM...

ty ty ty it was awfully cold out there.

I have acclimatized- I think it is cold here in NO right now.

This is my first (whole) winter in a warm climate. It is weird.

My feet ache - the cold brings it out. Ah, it's going to be a long winter. *puts on warm socks*

May I have that little penguin?

you want some penguin pics?

Good morning. Thought I'd offer the first cup of coffee today before moving onto the threads. Gene's coming home today!

Carla

Woo hoo Carla!!!!
Thanks for the coffee

Good Morning Peeps!!!

I am waiting until Dec. 9 to change my screen name. VJ allows 1 name change per year.

What are you going to change it to? Ask Ewok to change it for you. Mine said the 9th of December as well when I read the rules, but I've never changed it in 18 months, so I'm sure he will do it for you now.

Carla

I think I'm changing it to MissStacey. Being in the South- it is what I get called often.

When I picked up my stepson from school last time, the lady told me he always says "My Miss Stacey is coming to pick me up today."

Is it just me or is customer service generally lacking in the US? Or is it just the states I have been to.

I chuckled at that little penguin too.


Awwww. That's so sweet. I like Miss Stacey.

ty carla

sad to say, i think it's all over the usa. i just had a major fight with my isp a few days ago. i'm going to let mastercard know about the content of that conversation. i'm finding it hard to believe that if i dispute the charges from them on my mastercard they will cut off my internet while it's resolved. that isn't what disputing a charge is about, nor will too many do that. it's darth vader business practices and i really doubt mastercard is aware of it, and i'm certain that merchants have to abide by mastercard's rules during a dispute.

It's generally lacking. Out of everywhere I've been, Buffalo has to be THE most customer service oriented city, hands down. Not terribly impressed with anywhere else, though.


It's the same type of "service" here in Florida. I am appalled at how customers are treated. Don't get me started.

Miss Stacey is cute!

Sprailenes, I agree, Customer Service here sucks! Well, that's been my experience in St. Louis. I mentioned this to a neighbour, and she just shrugged. I think that's what most people do. I don't think it's acceptable, and won't just shrug. I make it a point to always be polite and pleasant with sales staff, and I expect the same. I'm shopping in their store, they want my business, then they'd better treat me like their bread and butter... Saying that however, if I don't get good customer service, then I'm not just going to take my business elsewhere either. At least not until I've brought something up with the manager to see if they can't make things right, or make some changes with their service or personnel. If you don't say anything, then nothing will change.

You're welcome charles!

Speaking as someone who gets abused by customers regularly, there are some days and some people who make it VERY difficult to be kind.

Ain't that the truth.

So. I came home yesterday to a Christmas card on my driveway. I picked it up and took it inside. It had a weird odour but I opened it anyway. IT WAS FROM THE GARBAGE MEN!!!!! So I said out loud (to no one but myself) "So THAT'S why it smells like garbage." (I kid you not, people.)

Questions..... is this something that American garbagemen do? I've never received a Christmas card from my garbageman before. Are they expecting me to leave them a card with a tip?

Wow, is that ever weird! But SWEET! haha That is so heartwarming....truly! Anyway, I don't know about that. I've never got a card from the sanitary engineer before! Here, we pay monthly for our garbage pick up. I've only ever seen the company once actually pick it up, so I don't have any personal relationship with them. It's not a "public service" here, so I'm not going to be giving them a card, or tip.

The mailman on the other hand has been a real sweetie. His name is Joe and he's a very very kind man. I've spoken to him many times. Now, I can't give him a gift of cash, as he's a public employee, but I am planning on giving him a Christmas card, with a gift cerficiate from a local coffee shop around the corner. Might be nice for him to stop in a for hot mug of coffee this winter!

Carla

i sure hope you don't work for hughesnet oh have i got some stories for you about them!

Morning

I think my post from yesterday got buried like in a huge pile of snow!

I asked for an idea to change my name cause I have never done it in 20 months , but I don't have any

I'm going to bring great customer service to this area! As soon as I am allowed to work of course! But watch out south jersey...Ima comin!

LOL No, I don't work for them. I work for a small, independantly owned specialty needlework and knitting shop, where we get customers who threaten us with "well, I just won't come here anymore" when they don't get what they want (most of time ridiculous requests, I might add). I can only bend over backwards for so long, people!

i've never seen anything like hughesnet. two times this year the internet went out because they didn't inform me of some changes in the settings that i should do at my end. the first time it was out for just over a week, the second time it worked but i could not access a secure site for 2 months (https:// ). i fiddeled with it thinking it was something on my end, thinking all that time no, they couldn't do this again but finally gave up and sure enough, it was them again! and to top it all off, every time i've had to contact them about these changes in settings, they email me a customer comment form. they have my email, why can't they inform me of these changes prior to my system being broke? eta: the last instance i was told by the tech when i explained the issue that "it's a known problem...." the first words outta his mouth!
this latest episode was when i changed modems from the older type to the newer type, the idjits changed the plan i had and the price went up $21.81 a month. oh it was their fault again, a computer error! right! but what irked me out of it all was telling two customer service reps that i wanted the overcharge credited back to my credit card (i believe i'd have a difficult time disputing the charge if they gave me a credit on my account instead of crediting the card back if i paid the bill and the so called credit disappeared). nor do i see a reason to pay them in advance for service! things got escalated all the way to some supervisor, and he's the one that told me if i put that charge in dispute with my credit card that my service would be cut off until it's resolved. that does not sound like something mastercard would agree with.

Awwwwwww I saw your post yesterday, but I thought you were saying that you didn't know what you'd change your name to, if you could. I don't think you should change your name quite frankly! Your name is cute!

Carla

i agree
