Well, she has not answered, so I think her long lost love found her and swept her off her feet.

She is posting elsewhere on the board so maybe she just doesn't want to tell us anything?

no, that isn't it Rosie. i just don't normally come back in here after i have my answers unless it is to help someone else with their question. it's a guy that i have never heard of and the address for the phone is in Michigan. he hasn't called since Monday afternoon. so, maybe he has given up?

Wow, Dearie has a secret admirer from far far away... Well, he's got excellent taste, that's for sure. Seriously, glad its stopped. It can be a very creepy situation. Good for you for getting to the bottom of it.

For the first time in my life I am having groceries delivered to the house this afternoon. I looked up tipping etiquette for "grocery delivery" at a site on line, and it said, "usually included in fee." So does this mean I don't tip the delivery guy? I don't want to end up coming off as a fool/rude person. Never had groceries delivered. Just trying it this time cause my car battery is dead, its -6 degrees outside as we speak, and I'm really not in any mood to try and get a couple of hours sleep, get up and go out in the freezing weather to put the car on the charger, come back in and wait till its charged up, then go out and drive on icy streets just to get Mom her cigarettes. Bomba's out of canned food too. So those are the two "must have" items that can't wait till the weather clears. Thus the venture into delivery.

LOL Scooter! I don't mind tipping the guy cuz it's cheaper than the impulse buying I usually do at the store When Zachary was an infant and our car broke down, I used to have groceries delivered. I loved it. They would bring their big tubs in and help you put the groceries away.

If somebody would help me put the groceries away, I would tip 20%. That is the worst part!!!

I know Mama, I hate the lugging in and putting away. Just like laundry, washing and drying is no problem but putting it away (and doing socks!!) is a PITA! I found I spent less money online shopping too.

Sure...just don't expect anything that is not on the list!!! My husband gets so mad at me...because I come home from the store (on the rare occasions that I go alone) without "anything good".

LOL Scoots. I pretty much stick to my list, when I don't it's usually something I just forgot to add on. I don't like for Darren or the kids to go shopping with me. The kids will only walk up carrying some junk and ask if they can get it, when I say no they put it back. Usually when I'm distracted with them is when Darren drops something else in the shopping cart and I don't find it til checking out, lol. Sometimes I have to have him go to Costco with me because I'm getting something I can't lift on my own and everytime he goes with me, it tends to cost $20-$40 more than if I'd gone alone.

LOL but the family would get pretty ticked off having no food! I don't mind it much, just don't like taking them because I spend far more money with all of them than I do.

only 160?? Do not get me wrong, I love Costco and Sams, but dang if it I do not spend a boat load of money there. Then again, I do not spend that much at the market, I then only buy fruit, veggies and milk products.

I can make it through Costco spending $80-$100 by myself. Though I do go once every two weeks. I don't buy many fruits and veggies from them (we wouldn't go through six pounds of broccoli, lol) but all my meat, breads, lunch foods and some dairy. A few times a year, like at tax time or those months where Darren gets an extra paycheck, we'll go in and spend several hundred on meat alone to store in the freezer (that helps keep the normal bill down too.) LOL, I do have to keep him out of every department but the food ones, otherwise he'll spend much more. "Hey, honey, I'm down to only thirty pairs of socks, I think I should pick up another dozen." Last time he got away from me I found him in electronics, goofy grin on his face and holding a set of two way radios. He told me he thought we should get them so when the kids go outside to play we can get ahold of them. Please keep in mind, our kids play in our own yard, the neighbors across the street, or the ones next door...I can open the door and say "come in" without raising my voice, let alone needing a two way radio, lol. He's usually pretty down to earth and normal, but turn him loose in Costco and he goes insane.
