I am close to retirement but no that close
I have multiple forms of cancer
Under new management my department has canned over 2 dozen of my co workers and replaced them with less effective versions.
Damn right I want to get laid off but I owe it to my family to hang in there in case I need the company funded life insurance
To make it worse they give me nothing to do so the days are long and boring
Look out for yourselves, no one else will!
Hi,
I am close to retirement age, have multiple types of cancer.
The new management has let go over 2 dozen of my coworkers and replaced them with less adequate versions. My boss has been giving me almost nothing of substance to fill my work days. Of course I want to get laid off, I have been a faithful employee for the last decade or more. I think they wont lay me off because they think I will come after them for my company funded life insurance. Sucks being me these days. anyways no one felt bad about screwing with over 2 dozen careers. Look out for yourselves, no one else will!
The card I got was obviously from my information being sold to the company. I got a Master Card debit card with a name I used as a screen name while looking up car insurance information a few years ago. I never asked anyone for a debit card.
I don't know why people make such a palaver out of making stock, it's really been over-complicated in recent years by tv (or should I these days say 'media'?) chefs and food writers.
You don't need a tonne of vegetables and a quarter tonne of herbs to make a good stock, all you need to do is strip the chicken carcass after you've had a roast, break it up enough to fit in whatever pot or pan you're using, cover it with water and let it bubble on the hob for an hour or two until the liquid has reduced down to between half and a third, then strain through a sieve. Once you chill it, it should set like a jelly (adding some of the skin and all of the bits you can't eat like cartilage will make it set a lot better. Basically chuck in all the bits you aren't going to eat.)
All that other stuff can actually limit you a little, as not all recipes will need those flavours. With this simpler way, if you need those flavours then you can add them when you cook the actual dish.
I avoid stress by keeping the holidays as simple as possible and not over-committing to events. I make sure to focus on spending time with my loved ones and only doing the things that bring me joy.
This year 11 of my family members from various parts of the country will be getting together for Christmas. To keep the stress level low we're just "exchanging" stocking stuffers instead of gifts. Keeps the pressure off to find something nice, but without going over budget.
The month of December is highly stressful for me so I try to get extra sleep, take longer walks and eat more fruits and vegetables. It truly seems to help my stress levels.

The last one is very important especially at a gym where you need the help of a partner. Nice one Brittany Lyte.
I do very little gift-giving-- just my parents. Sometimes my spouse, if he is a good boy ;)

A diy menu board would definitely add a great touch to the kitchen. No guessing as to what's for dinner either.
Sounds like a great book.
I usually stop shopping around December 1st. I spend time at home and try not to over schedule activities.
I would love to win this book.
I'd love to win a copy of this book! Thanks
I'm a huge fan of Donna Freedman! Thanks for the opportunity to win her book.
I avoid stress by having a little me time.
I'm a longtime Donna Freedman fan and would love a copy her book.
I'd love to win a copy of Donna's book.
I read Donna's blog, and would love a copy of her book. Keep thinking on getting a copy, but winning one would be wonderful.
I would love to win one of her copies! I've been reading her tips for years!
Great ready to get delivering on 21st

I bought a great prelit tree, no more untangling strings of lights. They are LED, should last a good long time. Why didn't I do this earlier????
I plan ahead and buy things on sale.
Awesome to hear this side of the story :D
We only do gifts for the kids so it saves stress and money.
