I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Sorry to hear about your Uncle's illness and need for surgery.
I have enjoyed Amazon Prime for years, especially this last year when I could not get out. So enjoy your new account Earlybird!
Just ordered some 'professional' cleaning tools to make cleaning easier for myself, including some drill attachments with brushes and scrubbing sponges.
If I am going to pay a housekeeper to flit around a duster above the kitchen cupboards, I can do that too! [That is not how I do 'Spring cleaning'...I get up there and wash off the dirt, dust, and grease.] Same with the refrigerator top.
C L E A N . To clarify, I was happy to have a housekeeper come (just this once) and she did a good job overall. It is nice to have the faucets clean and shiny, no build-up of scale left! And the inside of stove-top was clean.
Amazon also has "free" E-books" that dH gets. He has a Kindle Oasis now, reads from that. He is very pleased to have Amazon.
What is a "FOMITE?" Definition of fomite
: an object (such as a dish, doorknob, or article of clothing) that may be contaminated with infectious agents (such as bacteria or viruses) and serve in their transmission. Books are a fomite. And what do you do when one is home, sick, in bed? Read a book. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Maybe buy new books?
Anyone recall the Velveteen Rabbit story? The stuffed rabbit was thrown out by the nurse, due to an infectious disease (maybe scarlett fever), and was found alive in the garden by the little boy who once owned the rabbit?
My husband and daughters have tried Prime Wardrobe. This is a nice service. It’s limited to 8 items of clothing. You don’t pay in advance for the order. Return shipping is free. I believe that items must be returned within a week or so.
What I received was a 6' by 18" by 2" parcel which was heavy and contained an assortment of long metal pieces such as you mount on the wall and then use to hang shelving, and some other metal items I have no idea what they are. Even resealed it is too awkward and heavy for me to take to a DHL place to return. I can arrange a pickup, but in any case need the proper documents which I am waiting for. I sent the SKUs, and photos of everything. If they complain about the damaged packaging they have photos to see what I received. The shipment originated in the US and I was told they need the SKUs for the stuff to cross the border.
Obviously someone put the packing slip for my stuff on the wrong parcel.
send - our postal system will do that occasionally - saying I wasn't home when I most definitely was. It frustrates me. I have had a lag with updating info and having it actually functioning on a website.
I wonder if the great increase in online shopping has tested systems beyond their capacity.
1) UPS wrote they tried to deliver package but 'office' was closed. No, they did not, we are not an office, but a residence, and we are always home. They lied. I hate lies. My response was to cancel the order(s).
2) Payment method needs updating. Go online, it says payment method was already updated. Waiting until tomorrow. Part of same shipment is due today.
Feeling jerked around by Amazon! My response will be to shop elsewhere.
Hey Glad, I love tablecloths too, and Wiliams Sonoma has some great ones! Hope you get yours!
I have some thing similar and it is very frustrating. A parcel containing 3 small items was due, I received a large, very beat up package containing 10 items, in no way resembling what I had ordered. After 2 useless long phone calls, one of which hung up on me, I had several email communications with customer support - return the parcel with the packing slips we just emailed you, don't return the parcel or it will be returned to you at your cost, get us the SKU numbers for each of the items and we will send you new packing slips, (which I did and have not yet received) - sigh!
Dd came over and helped me reseal the package - the items were loose in it, fairly heavy and very poorly packed.
Customer support had told me they had a meeting about this. I hope it was productive. In one of my emails I asked if they were going to pay me for doing their work.
Yesterday I started sneezing and freezing and now my stomach is upset. It's not serious. I am just feeling yucky. Thankfully, mint tea helps.
I didn't need this.
However, I am very thankful I don't have to deal with what glad, eb and others do. 🙏🙏🙏
Got a shipping update last night that the package has arrived here, EMPTY and the packaging thrown away. What?! UPS will notify WS. Good grief.
I felt so strong but her fainting, the day spent at the ER have made me feel sad, scared and burntout again...
My plan was to care for mom until she dies in her sleep or failing that suddenly took a turn for the worse and I shunted her off to the palliative room at the little hospital down the street. The nursing home was my option of last resort but when I began to feel desperately trapped every day I finally accepted it was what I needed to do.
This could go on forever
And if I think I may die before my mum I sometimes think that at least I will be able to rest and won't have all the responsibility on my shoulders.
I love coffee and chocolate together. Mocha is one of my favorite ice cream flavors.
Now it is starting tonight. Hopefully it won't go as late as last night did.
Isn't this three now in recent weeks? I wasn't as fortunate as gershun.
