Oh no, I just said to dh that the washer doesn't seem to wring out as well this week. That I might have to call a repair man.
I won't replace until it dies, but when we do, we are going for speed queen. Dh says they review very well and seem to hold up as well as our old Maytags. Apparently speed Queens are used in most laundry mats. -
All has been well during my time off so don't want to complain MUCH but my washer just died.......my son took it apart per my brother and they both agreed; just get a new one.

One time a DCD walked in and just stood inside my home. He didn’t text me or holler for me or anything. My husband was home and was watching him. He noticed that no one else was by the door. Normally kids are running to their parents type deal. So He came into the house and acted like he was getting something out of the kitchen. Noticed that dad standing there and I wasn’t coming. So he asked him what he was doing.
. My husband unfortunately lost his temper some and it wasn’t a good incident.

Update they said the reason I need to renew was because it has been 30 days since I did the renewal. It is so confusing, I apparently applied for the renewal on 9/28 but it took them until 11/10 to approve me then extended my membership date til 11/30.
According to the email I had 30 days from 9/28 to submit certificates but I submitted 3 certificates on 11/14 & 3 more on the15 and they didn't get rejected for being outside the 30 day window. Which I emailed and questioned why were those were approved.
I also asked where on the website does it explain this policy, so I could read and understand it better and the sent me one link that says after I renew I need to send documents as soon as possible, which doesn't necessarily mean 30 days.
The other link says 30 days but neither explain why.Last edited by Alwaysgreener; 12-23-2023, 04:48 PM.Leave a comment:

My dad is a vet too. He is 82 and served in the Army by the Berlin wall.
Anyways my mother found a Thrift store for Veterans in FL. The man will get a full uniform and medals for any veteran that passes, shipped to the family. -
Government bureaucracy at its best. Irritating-is too nice a description. I’ve been dealing with the VA for months for my father-in-law for his benefits. He’s 91 and it feels like they are waiting for him to pass on. Literally 5 months on the phone and sending documents to no avail. -
My state has a site for me to submit training hours for easier tracking and license renewal. I submitted a document on the 18th and I got an email telling me that my "membership" had expired. (Renewing the membership is like creating a new account completing screen after screen, basically updating your profile, for example, address, phone, name, etc)
Irritated because I swore I just did that, I logged in and my membership did get renewed not that long ago on 11/30 and does not expire until 2024!
Then I got an email from the site about the document that I sent in on 11/13, they do not accept free certificates from XYZ company, so I must go pay for the paid one. Although my state rules do not exclude XYZ free certificate the credit hour will still count it just can not be loaded onto the site. I then checked and I am over my required hours, it would be a waste of time and money to go buy the paid certificate.
I am starting to think that this site is not a time saver they advertise it as, just a waste of time.Leave a comment:

I texted yesterday and she paid, without the late fees but she paid. I wonder if she is not getting the invoices. We will see when they come tomorrow. -
I would add a message and explain the consequences of not paying by a certain deadline. -
I invoice parents weekly. I have one family that never paid this week and I have resent invoices twice and added late payment fee. Should I send a text too?Leave a comment:

DCF1 text me this morning… “Could you put DCK on the potty? DCK is doing really well at home.”
Me: “Per policy, DCK has to tell me when they have to go. I will try to show DCK the bathroom and potty today if time allows for it.” I go to take DCK to the bathroom… the kid is in a diaper.
Why make it harder for me???

DCF2 text me last night… “Can I pay you on Wednesday? If not, I could ask my parents for the money.” (Parents are friends of ours/neighbors)
Me: “Per policy, payment is due Monday.” DCF no call no shows today. I text them to check on them and they’re sick. So far, payment hasn’t been made today. Late fees kick in at 5:30 and I don’t accept the children into care on Tuesday if it’s unpaid.

DCK11MO is teething. All of his teeth. All at once. Thankfully, DCM treated me to a coffee today.
DCK1.5 decided to bite DCK2.5 today. Totally unprovoked. It was on DCK2.5’s cheek so I’m sure the excuse will be that DCK1.5 was trying to “kiss” DCK2.5

e.j. She returned today… miraculously the cough that “she gets every winter and has all winter long” is 1000x better!! DCD didn’t seem so upset that I turned him away at the door last week. He even asked if she was okay to return and mentioned he could come get her if needed. I told him if she coughs more than 5x in a 10 min period, she couldn’t come. He said it was occasional. I agreed to take her. She’s coughed a hand full of times ALL DAY today… nothing like last week!!! I wish parents understood that if they’d just follow policies, it’s not that bad and we could stop passing the same garbage back and forth.
Annalee it’s all going around. Covid, flu, strep. Tis the season!
