MMM...cheese
It was finally revealed last night that I don't care for cheese, and by revealed I mean the General just assumed I've loved cheese all these years.
And to be fair, I do like cheese, as long as it's 1) shredded, B) melted, 3) sliced very thin, or feta.

All but one of its basic forms. sounds like you like cheese to me.
Little butter and a little heat and you have a fine meal there.

In Wisconsin if you don't eat cheese plain you don't really like cheese.
Cheese tasting parties here are like wine tastings everywhere else.

I'm with Freehold here. Arizona's canned teas are amazing. I've tried almost every flavor they sell and most of them I love.There are some beverage companies that attempt to sell their version of iced tea in a can, just like they would soda. They're horrible and wrong for doing so, but they do it.I love Arizona green tea.
My guilty bottled tea fix is HonesTea's "Peach Ooh-la-long". It's the one with Opus the Penguin on the label. Sometimes the grocery clearance store has them for a buck.

I have a new review policy I suggest you all join me in:
As of the THIRD time I get an unsolicited e-mail from a company asking me to please please PLEASE review their product, because my review is SO important to them, give the product a one-star review, and simply write, "The product is fine, but the post-purchase e-mail harassment is intolerable."
I am SOOOOOOO sick of getting, "Please review me" e-mails, even on sites where I set my e-mail preferences to 'do not contact'.
Grrr...

It's won't help anything.
Yes, it won't.
But it does give me satisfaction.
"Do not contact" means "Do not contact".
It's remarkable that my global megacorporation spends hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to implement that simple concept, yet companies such as Costco or LL Bean can't figure it out.
If your product was anything beyond exactly what I expected, then I'll review it. Otherwise, leave me the heck alone!

Kia. Kia is the WORST. Since we bought Brandon's car, nine days ago, we have had SEVEN separate emails from three different employees at the dealership, "just reaching out" to make sure we were satisfied with our purchasing experience.
And, honestly, even though they were great working with us and our awful credit and finding us the best deal we could get, I am so frustrated with the barrage of emails I just want to do a keyword filter to make anything with "kia" go straight into my trash folder.

So I was going to post on this earlier but I was distracted.
8% is an amazing rate for "bad" credit. (Though I have no idea how that works, because similar to SAT scores the difference between "good" credit and "bad" credit seems to be less than 1/4 of the scale, so why have the rest of the scale at all?)
I think I've mentioned it before, but a friend of mine was living in Sacramento with a fax number that was 1 digit off from a major car finance company's local fax number. So she routinely saw financing requests coming through at interest rates of between 20 and 30%.
I have a "good" credit rating, and I'm still paying 4.125% on the house, and my credit union is offering 3.875% on 37-60 month loans, so 8% just doesn't seem all that bad to me.
Of course, I lived through the 1970s, where if you bank wasn't giving you double-digit interest you were getting ripped off. I may be senile.

Had a request to ship computer equipment to remote users. Nothing strange about that. Then I get the list of users and addresses. Fine, fine, no problems here.......waaaaiiiit.....um...what?
"***Note: [USER NAME REDACTED] lives on state property and does not have a mailbox, but can receive FedEx shipments at her home. She advised to put in the delivery instructions that it is the camper to the right with a red car in front.***"
So...
Wait...
You want me to ship a computer, monitors, VOIP phone...roughly $1000 worth of equipment...via FedEx to a camper at a state park? With delivery directions of "the camper to the right with a red car in front"??? No. This is not how this is going to work. How do you even expect to reliably work from a camper? Cell phone hotspot is not going to cut it. Who the hell even approved this???

Not exactly riveting trial material.
I wouldn't expect every trial to be Law & Order material, in fact I'm sure most of them are downright boring. It's just an experience I'd like to have.

My mom finally posted something about Grandma's passing on FB today, and it's been interesting to read the responses.
There were a couple of people, as in more than one, who actually said, "She always had a kind word for everyone."
To quote the Swedish Chef, WAT DER FLERK?
No she didn't. She was a snarky, judgemental b**** and she reveled in it.
Where did you think I got it from?
She was so bad at making loud snarky comments in public that my mother used to threaten her, "Behave yourself or I'll tell everyone it's your birthday."
Eve used to tell people that she had Tourette's.
She said nice things to you if you were temporarily in her good graces, were skinny, and met with her strict standards of approval for fashion and personal grooming. And weren't related to her.
No, I'm not going to say that publicly.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Soooooo trying not to go full-blown nuclear political here, but...
...our housecleaner has not reappeared after she took her daughter down to visit her aging mother in El Salvador over Christmas break.
Yes, she's a U.S. citizen.
But she's also a brown-skinned woman with a heavy Spanish accent trying to return to the U.S. during a government shutdown caused by a battle over immigration by people from countries just like hers.
I am honestly quite worried for her; we're trying to get in contact with her now.

Hi, everyone!
I had cheese earlier. Specifically, I had two bags of Jack Link's dried breakfast sausages, two bags of potato chips, a bag of store-brand Pepperjack Cheese, and a can of Miller Beer for Lunch.
Skip the chips and the beer. They're bad for you.
Urgh. See what happens when you're on a diet? When you see people eating junk food you can't help but comment ><

Is not the sometimes people are nicer to outsiders then to family thing?
Or maybe you don't want to say anything bad about the dead and departed.
I mean it's bad taste to go, "She was a nasty b1tch and the world's a better place without her" , right so you write some empty platitudes...

LOL. Just wait 'til you're old.
I know John is what? 3 months younger than I am? But if I tried to eat that exact same meal I'd have heartburn for a good 30-35 hours afterwards...
...salads and whole grains for me, thanks. And it's not a "health" choice, it's an, "I don't want my body trying to kill me with pain" choice.

No, I'd rather they said, "she had one hell of a snarky mouth on her and she could be a bit of a b****, and wow, was she fun to play cards with! Also, she made the best damned homemade sourdough you ever tasted."

We're worried that my brother won't be able to get back from States for Chinese New Year if the airport workers are on strike.
Ugh. You know how stress aggravates joint pain?
Yeah, I called WW and convinced him that we needed to go out to the good Mexican place for dinner because I feel like crap.
Then we're going to choir practice, and singing always makes me feel better. But, wow, I'm ready for the weekend, and it's only Wednesday, and I get to work six hours on Saturday, too. (But it's only once a year.)

That only works if you had played cards with her, or tasted her sourdough. Otherwise what you get is she had one hell of a snarky mouth.
...Does sourdough really make sour bread?

LM - do you know what causes your joint pain? Try a muscle rub?
On the other hand I've been generally running on short sleep acting as my moms IT department, growling at the Telco and trying to find time to exercise.
And I still haven't done my hearthstone dailies because my mom was bugging me about how to get toggle working on phone last night.
Why the heck are you watching on a small screen when you could watch on a computer, besides the toggle site is not mobile friendly so the tabs are all over the place and hard to navigate.

Just for Freehold:
The plumber's bill just arrived, and they charged me exactly 1.5 hours of labor, which is exactly how long it took him.
Getting a new refrigerator line put in in the Bay Area for $271?
Color me impressed with our plumber yet again...

Yay! Got a text from our cleaner! She just back into the country today, and had no issues!
A U.S. Passport. Don't leave home without it!
Really good to hear.
Honestly, I was more concerned with her being in El Salvador than her trying to get back into the States. I've known a few people who have emigrated from there, and not a one had a good thing to say about it.
You know what's awesome?
It turns out Wednesday night is 5.99 enchilada platter night at El Fenix.
