No, not homemade. I don’t cook or bake if I can help it.

My next door neighbour bakes custom cakes to order. And cupcakes, and cookies and...
She gets my family to test taste her new recipes. Last weekend it was champagne cupcakes with lemon buttercream icing.
It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta take one (or three) for the team!

I would never move away if I had that kind of perk1 -

Oh my god, I can't imagine working with multiple people all on the military diet. Someone I know did that one and it made her really hangry. It really seems designed to make you as miserable as possible.0 -

I was that neighbor last winter, until I learned my city does not allow residential commercial kitchens. In addition to my neighbors, the mailman got baked goods, as did the city DPW workers, and the FedEx drivers...3 -

OMG - you’d think people would be more receptive to those of us who have “been there done that”....they listen to people who talk about the grapefruit diet, the cookie diet, the ice cream diet, all the detoxes and cleanses. There are no gimmicks to losing weight.
I remember asking a bariatric surgeon why they never talked about cleanses or detoxes. The response was, “if we thought they were worth mentioning, we would.”5 -
I have a co-worker who went home early yesterday because she said she was sick from detoxing from sugar. She is telling everyone today that she still feels sick from her detox. I asked her why she thought she needed to “detox”. After telling me that “ people” have told her sugar is very toxic, she also told me she didn’t eat yesterday until after she went home; then she felt better. I tried to point out that she probably just needed to eat, and that was why she didn’t feel well. I know I should just keep my mouth shut and stay out of it. You can’t really get through, can you?
My only question is: "Are you in an environment where she got PTO for going home or did this cost her money?"0 -

That’s along the lines of what I was wondering and was surprised no one brought up the productivity loss of someone completely doing this to themselves. It would be akin to someone calling in sick from a hangover, which I’m sure people do, but it should be at some cost to them, IMO.

Just seems like an incentive to fast my way into some time off.
I wouldn't because that's malingering, but it's still advisable/desirable to plug those holes.1 -
