Howdy Y’all! I hit all three sto’s for their specials, et N.O.L., and achieved nappage. Sounds like a good [del]old fart’s[/del] retired person’s day, does it not?
I have a tupperware type deviled aig tray, a cut glass deviled aig tray, a crystal deviled aig tray, two plastic deviled aig trays, and one that is white glass (milk glass?) with gold trim around the rim that belonged to my grandmother (mom’s mom). I am ready for any deviled aig occasion.
rosie sounds like things are in your favor. Appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed.
Rockin’ here’s hopin’ sump’n pans out irkwise.
flipper speakin’ of paydays, my SS hit the bank last night. Irk retirement should do that on Firday. Yay for paydays!
Does your employer make accommodations for pregnant women? (Do they have 25 or more employees, meet state and Federal requirements for mandatory accommodations for disabilities, etc) If they do, they need to accommodate you…
Can you get the scooter back? You can “stand” around on that thing for hours if you need to, and get around quickly, which should help with the walking and standing issues. You can do the boot walking at home and not during work hours. If your scooter has brakes, you can even lift while balancing on it. I put a basket on mine, so I could carry things. Is your employer willing to have you back if you’re scooting? If so, I’d be glad to talk you through a few retrofits. (To be clear, wear the boot, so you can free stand when you need to, say to grab something really inconvenient, but use the scooter to “carry”, help you balance while standing, etc.)
ETA: If your employer, won’t accommodate, can you claim unemployment?
The lifting, pushing, and standing are considered “essential” functions of the position, and there is literally no way to modify the the job so I don’t have to do those things. I’m in FMLA leave status, so I probably don’t qualify for unemployment. I did apply for other positions, and those applications are being evaluated even as we speak, so hopefully one of those will pan out and the whole thing will be moot.
Rockin’, if a sheriff’s department can make accommodation for pregnant or injured deputies, then a paperwork type office certainly can! (And, as I understand it, they’re mandated to do so. Federal law. But I’m a housewife, not a lawyer!) Good luck with that whole getting paid regularly thing!
And everything crossed in hopes of a paycheck for you, too, Rosie!
I have swampy beat on egg trays: one crystal, one amber pressed glass, one milk glass with gold trim (probably identical to yours, also inherited from Grandma, with a matching relish tray,) one plain old glass, and 2 vintage Tupperware ones, with the two little inserts. I think I also have a plain acrylic one, for use around heathens who might not understand the sanctity of a lady’s egg trays.)
And speaking of trying to get rid of stuff: went today and signed a lease for a booth in an antique mall. Time to get rid of some of my hoard, and a lot of Mama’s. Now I need to inventory and stock it by Tuesday. :eek: (And no, none of my egg trays are going. Because each has a purpose: picnics with friends, picnics with less-trusted acquaintances, dinner on the grounds, funerals, family holidays, and fancy parties. I didn’t make the rules.)
I suspect that, between Halloween festivities and this new project, my poor family will be eating a lot of quick and easy dinners over the next few days. Chicken boobs and something tonight!
Good info Sunny. I am making a reasonable accommodation for one of my employees as her husband is deployed to Africa and she has children. The accommodation is she just leaves earlier than normal in order to be home with the kids after school. It seems to me something could be worked out for Rockin’.
Good luck Rosie. Hoping the decision happens sooner than later. Like the old Bear said it seems like it went well.
I do own a small deviled aig plate which we do use but nothing fancy like the Swampy.
20 more minutes then I can go home. I am taking off tomorrow since I have to irk half the weekend directing the shuttles.
UNKLE! :mad: It was still 62° in the house when I got home. Although I have plenty of clothes to wear this evening, & even to bed, it’s that getting nekkid for showertime in the morning that had me give up; we’re not officially in heating season.
May I recommend a DVD with a good recipe for elderberry wine that you should try.
I do not own a deviled egg tray. My dad’s allergic to eggs so we didn’t have them in the house very often when I was a a Kittenmount. Even now that I’ve been on my own for almost fifteen years, I still feel like a rebel when I buy a carton of eggs.
I forgot to say - my cousin posted pics of a moose in her yard eating all the kids’ pumpkins. (They live in Anchorage.) Apparently, Halloween is popular amongst the moose community. They love pumpkins. They’re also big enough to do whatever they choose, unless you’re going to get really serious about defending those pumpkins…
rockin’, every time that I’ve come back from medical leave, my employer has made reasonable accomodations. For scanning and filing, I use a small cart and a tall stool. I filed a doctor’s slip with security to bring a cane as needed and I am given plenty of time to go to the departments across the building (about three city blocks). Make some suggestions!
I feel like a piker with one measly aig plate. It’s dime store cut glass that my mom gave to me when I started housekeeping. She, on the other hand had a crystal one, several cut glass, a TiarawareTM amber sandwich glass, a couple of old school TupperwareTM and the milk glass one with the gold trim like peaches’ and swampy’s. She started each of six kids out with one and still had enough for the holidays.
Howdy Y’all! We et at the Chinese [del]hog trough[/del] buffet place and then I went to Evening Prayer and Healing Service over to the church house as is my wont on Wednesday Eves. Now I’m home and in chill mode. This afternoon I prepped the <snerk> butts! <snerk> and <snerk> boobs! <snerk> for tomorrow’s smokeage. I also have wood chips soakin’. Hickory and mesquite to be exact. Tomorrow night’s dindin shall involve two of the <snerk> boobs! <snerk> even though we had chikin just yestiddy. I’m thinkin’ green beans and mac 'n cheese for sides. We shall see.
The milk glass/gold rimmed deviled aig tray seems to be popular!
Tell us about a Healing Service.
Still no word from Mom.
Maybe life rafts do not have Wi-Fi.
Perhaps if we were all assigned areas of Google Earth to search, one of us would see her rescue flares!
I am curious because the Jewish equivalent is done to assure the ill person that the community cares about them and is concerned. There is no thought that a minion’s prayers would cause G-d to intervene and heal someone’s illness.
And Opening Nigth on friday.
