All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

well it looks like i'm taking the bacon away from hubby...he made bacon this morning although it's nice she saves me a few slices... my calendar has splatters on it, and there are bacon grease drops inside one of my shoes (i guess now i have to buy inserts)

[padyofurniture]

Tell him he's only allowed to make bacon whilst naked. That way he realizes all the splatters matters lol

I always bake bacon. 350 for 20 mins. No mess

Drive throughs seem to never ask if you need a drink tray and you have to ask them as they are passing the stuff to you.... also weirds me out how mcdonalds likes to hold the stuff out the window before you pull up... seems dangerous to me..

I recently won a $50 mc in the natures bounty contest. When I tried to redeem the link only worked until I tried to redeem. Contacted sponsor and told to contact virtual rewards...on and on ...not enough info ..can't click on link in forwarded email etc etc alas...time has expired to redeem..what a sham. I have written to natures bounty and will let you know what happens..I expect nothing.

Ooh going to try this tomorrow! I always microwave it which makes almost as much of a mess as frying it.

[couponingtosurvive]

We also bake bacon... oven is self cleaning so literally no mess to do it this way. Just watch it closely so it doesn't get too crunchy!

[Candini]

Yeah I'm way too terrified of frying pans. Put a baking rack over a baking sheet so its not lying in grease

Why is there effing snow on the ground :'( it was somewhat nice yesterday

[Midnightly]

i tend to slide the bacon off the burner when i go to flip it..when i mentioned it last night he said it was really battlesome bacon that tried to attack while cooking and he needed to use the lid as a shield to protect himself.. soo...

I've had about 7 full days off since DEc 2013. My other days off are really travel days or I'm too tired to travel so I stay where I am at. This is not a lot of free time. Our main boss that we never see is as dumb as they come.

I got a letter yesterday from the HR department complaining that one of my certifications has expired and because of such, I cannot use this skill until and face suspension if I don't get recertified.

I'll accept suspension for about 2 weeks so I can rest and have some fun with an ex girlfriend and maybe get drunk.

^^^ I am serious.

Duct cleaning companies pay $55,000 for violating do-not-call list

They have been harassing us for years and only got fined $55000. WTF!

what about this part of the article?

In addition to the $55,000 paid by four companies, the regulator also says it issued notices of violation accompanied by monetary penalties totalling $94,000 for five more.

So more penalties will come I suppose.

DD got the entire house sick. Being sick and taking care of 2 sick kids sucks. Much easier when we all take turns. lol
