The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Busy day... think I may be caught up...
My yard has gone feral! I need to get it tamed. The mower works great and I like it. I'm currently looking for a weed whacker and a propane weed torch. Maybe I should just hire someone to come in, remove the weeds, fertilizer the grass, and trim some of the bushes. IDK. It might be easier to maintain than try to get a handle on it now. 🙄😤

Usually them but they're trying to pin it on you. Or at least make you responsible for cleaning up their fuck-ups! 😠😡🤬
Someone just created an amazing opportunity for us to reorganize the warehouse...

For the above reasons and my allergies, I have a lawn and landscape service do everything . I am free to do other things I love like cooking and baking.
Gotta play to your strengths, right?
Did someone say cookies?

Mr. Scott is all over it.

I always loathed "skillset."

Good morning.
Life sucks sometimes it really does.
That said..... Tomorrow I catch a van to the starting line of my next race. I need the getaway

Have a better one, DH
No immediate change, but we will see what the future holds....

Manager is apparently okay with whatever..... when I tell her stuff she just " doesn't see" what I am talking about..... I told her one time that of course she doesn't see it..... because it is easier for her to let me to keep taking hits and run around fixing the mess ups then for her to address their behaviors... and since I am the one doing the work why would the 3 stooges complain about it
I think you need to Manage Up by giving her more work. Clearly she doesn't have enough to do. :rolleyes: :mad:
I'm trying to figure out how to pull this off, for the same reason, without paying through the nose. There's just too much here to pay someone to do it.
Good thing No Mow May is right around the corner? :unsure:
I heard my name.
What's for dinner?
It’s been a while since I’ve popped in to say good morning. Hope everyone has been safe (to many pages to try and catch up on). Y’all take care of each other.
Hiya, BSK! 🙋‍♀️ Hope you're doing well. Nice to see you.
Doing very well! Thanks for asking! Hope everything is well you also!

She’s up and around on her own. Her PT says she’s a little behind on angle of bending but close enough she’s not too concerned. She’s hit or miss with exercising but can walk for short periods without a noticeable limp. If she’s on her feet long though, she’ll hobble. Still has some swelling and uses the “Iceman” machine every night. For those in the know…or those about to get a knee replacement…the Iceman is the best $100 you’ll ever spend. 😉

Last couple of weeks have been crazy. Nurse maid to the wife, getting my mom’s house in order, work, concerts, Easter, fishing trip, work, planting, cleaning…I almost feel like Wonderer and Wat! 😂

I”m going back to the “real” job to get some rest. IYKYK…

Some PNW MZ and a funny as bonus
All good news! Hope you get the rest you need at work. :LOL:
That’s called cop out management.
Yeah, it is! :mad:
Work (easiest I've had in decades but pay is commiserate), and worrying about mom...as usual.

Did y'all know there are other forums here on lit?

Did y'all know none of them are nearly as friendly or interesting as this one?

Thanks Wonder.
What?!? Other forums? 🤯
Glad you're having fun. Nice to see you found time for your homies at the café
I hope it was a good day, G! Did the Easter Bunny bring you nice treats? 😉🐣🐰View attachment 2530768
No bunnies, G, but did find the Lion Rampant and the St. Andrew's Cross... should you prefer to the Union Jack

I'm the same. Once I give something away, it's no longer mine. Once someone gives something to me, it's no longer theirs.

See me and my friends when we saw an older woman driving.And you only saw the hair sticking up, we would call them q.Tips

Online translate says the taglines are in Dutch...
Not every old lady is equally reliable
Every Golf is fortunately
I put them out with a for sale sign, and they'll be gone in an hour. And I'll be getting phone calls for a week!
By the time I'm moving them on, all I'm hoping for is someone to steal them but at least leave me the sign.
Hi everyone! Hope you are all well.
Wonderer keeps me up to speed. Hes good that way!
Hiya, Mrs W... those ribs feeling any better?
Virtual hug - no squeezing yet, huh?

Turns out the admins here run a kind of Facebook jail.
Hermit crabs are notorious for moving into empty shells.
They also get tossed out on their ears when the shell is wanted back . . . .
🤣 :nana:

It was workey and peopley! The worst of both worlds! 😂
People were all people-y here too.... I did get a giggle when one of my co-workers, who admittedly does a good job, but is a giant butt kisser.. in a bad way, called me to ask me a question because everyone else was confusing her. It was everything in me not to say well, it's no wonder you're confused because what they're telling you is b*******. What I said was, well, let me help you understand. We went through the whole scenario, she asked all her questions, and then she was unconfused. Give people an opportunity to see the truth. I think she's wising up
 
So Miss recovering from knee replacement has been sleeping on the sofa so she doesn’t have to climb stairs. Well down this a.m. and she didn’t wake up. So here I sit. Looking at and catching up on all of OM’s and others coffee memes and can’t go mash the button on the grinder…🤬.

The sacrifices I make for this woman…

We made it to Fritag. Hope y’all get an early start to the weekend. Looks like my dance card is full…with Easter and all…now, yer MZ

Your second sentence was concerning initially! 😱😱 Don't DO that to me, H!
 
Yep, I’ve got mine all of them om autopay, with alerts to both of us if anything is weird. I pay major bills like insurance, and taxes.
I just finished returning two of the same shoe she ordered that don’t fit, just like the two previous pairs that didn’t fit.
Next week I’m taking her to her first pedicure as a distraction from shoe buying. She’s excited, but not wanting any polish, unless she changes her mind.
Aged relatives are not for the weak!
You're a good daughter! 🫂🥰
