Heavy perfumes & scented items are a struggle for me as well. I feel your pain. My boss likes to wear heavy floral perfume. I'm okay if she's in the doorway of my office, but when she comes over beside me so I can show her something on my screen, my throat just closes up.

One of my best students this semester uses this stuff. When she would come in to ask questions, I eventually had to speed things along more than she deserved in order to breathe later on. The coughing and stuff was too much.

Ugh, heavy perfumes. Those are a bother, but I can breathe through that.
 
I had some issues with my Christmas cards when I received them. Contacted the company and they said they would reprint and send them via overnight shipping. That was a week ago. And currently the live help queue is 238 people long . . .

Well, poop, took a look at mine because of this. Not sure if it includes the northcentral Iowa BC weather curse or not so it could track south again. Should probably mix some fuel for the single stage.

We are driving to Lakeville for a funeral tomorrow. My wife wants to stop at Children's Hospital on the way back to visit a student. I'm guessing I'll be driving the car for about 4 hours tomorrow for a trip to another suburb.

This kid has cerebral palsy and is having problems with his shunt (they do seem to have figured it out after a few days in the hospital). He is a really happy and positive kid and is one of the most popular kids in the school because of it. We went to Culvers for a school fundraiser a while ago and Johnny was there. I'd never met him before that but he told me that Mrs. JCyclonee and myself made a cute couple. There aren't very many people out there that are that sweet. The stop at the hospital will certainly be worth it.

I was soooooooooooo convinced as a 4-5 year old child that the beer my dad was drinking was pop. He finally let me have a drink. I didn't drink another beer for over 15 years. Well played Dad, well played.

LOL, My brother at about 8 years old asked my dad if he could try some Wild Turkey. My dad said sure. Half a sip later my brother has got his head under the faucet trying to rinse the burn away.

Could you please tell the Leinenkugal family to make fewer fruity beers? I know they don't really own it anymore but let them know what the family business has become.

lol, I don't know anybody directly in the family, although I did apply to work there after college, but ended up in grad school instead.

I agree with you. I don't drink anything "shandy" although their dopplebocks are pretty solid.

I come into work this morning and see a request opened to my team by one of our upper level "management"
Exact wording "Develop Must Complete for critical tasks"

Meh They will be fine. It is amazing what happens when you finally get that baby in your arms. We have some acquaintances that bring their newborn to my wife. Last Christmas I sent a joking Snapchat of our living room lined with toys and the caption "and so it begins". She responded with "I never want that!". A month later she was prego and pretty much as soon as she knew she called to reserve a spot and already had it all planned out when she would have the baby and when she would be back at work. I just laughed. She stuck to her schedule but I think they have lightened up on the planning some.

My parents in Fort Dodge use Verizon. I have Verizon also and it works pretty well there. My family's T-Mobile coverage is pretty bad when we visit Grandpa and Grandma. I don't know much about it but they oftentimes end up on the iWireless network around there.

I wireless uses T-Mobile as their main source.

I took it to mean that he figures we'll have super deprived helicopter kids or something.

I will try not to go full CG recap on this, but I *think* I got my Christmas card issues resolved. The company chat help is definitely outsourced since the first time I spoke to Manasa Dyavanapally and this time Praveen Gaddapti. My chat where I was told they would reprint/send overnight was ended before that request was submitted so I waited a week for something that was never coming. They wanted me to reorder and they would credit me. Nope, zero confidence that would ever happen. In the end they are reprinting all 100 cards/envelopes and overnighting them without me reordering them. Still have to wait for them to be reprinted, though.

Was this Shutterfly? A friend had issues with them before.

I did calendars for the some folks and I thought the special was x% off & a free calendar. It turned out to only be the calendar price that came off. I would have still needed to order it to have the correct number..... The service email didn't seem to understand why I might not like that. I decided it wasn't worth it to argue at the time.
