rickproehl Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends. How has your day gone? My day has been one to forget. If it could go wrong it did go wrong. The job today had me pulled in a lot of different directions. Lunch break could not come fast enough. This was a low point of the day and i had to do something. Went out in the car and did some meditation 30 minutes of piece and quiet had me focused on what i could do. This simple act made the afternoon better. So hoping everyone has a good night and a better tomorrow. So how was your day? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brayon Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks everyone for the well wishes earlier. However, it did not help. Some days, I hate playing by the rules, only to get screwed. If you need me, I'll be over here crying in my Ben-and-Jerry's. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away all their tools. It limits how much trouble they can cause! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Moderator Popular Post Reader1810 Posted February 19, 2020 Site Moderator Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 @Mikiesboy I have almost all the necessary ingredients to make baked oatmeal (I’m altering it a bit to make it with almonds, dried strawberries and dark chocolate chips ) and guess what I discovered? The 500 ml and 250 ml cartons (whole milk and cream) have been reduced to 437 ml and 237 ml, respectively. I didn’t check, but I’m thinking those size reductions are across all milk/cream types. Even the 1L carton was looking a little short in stature... Cheeky buggers reducing sizes while likely keeping the price the same. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
