    Ok, I'm not racist and I'm totally down with slavery being abolished (unless someone wants to come clean my apt and cook for me for free 😀) and there being a holiday for that but there is NO reason the tax deadline had to be extended until tomorrow because Emancipation Day is on Saturday! The 15th was on a Friday but we still had to have all this weekend pressure??

    Also, the weather's nice and it's getting dark at a respectable 7:15ish and I can't take advantage because if I walk on concrete for too long now, I have bad abdominal pain.

    I don't understand how having extra time put pressure on you. You could've just mailed them in on the 15th, couldn't you? (Or on the 8th like I did, because I was going to be out of town this week.) Sending you a hug. Hope you weren't too stressed this weekend.

Not sure why he can't just MAIL a cheque like everyone else. Or why he can't take a driving service (they have a special one for mobility-impaired people) on another day when I'm at work.

    Pay it online. Soooooooo much easier and faster and confirmation...er. :)

    Argh people(businesses) who don't respond to calls, emails, texts, etc. I was trying to rectify a lost HD gift card issue and after countless emails back to customer service(we'd been in contact a couple times), along with a couple phone calls, I needed a copy of the original receipt which I sent them, then zip.

    Then tried ordering gift cards for golfing, tried calling, emailing, texting, even went to the club and couldn't find a darn soul despite their saying they're open 9-5, I finally ordered them online and am now waiting on a reply to make sure it all went through. It's been a week now. So I'll check my credit card account and see.

    People just don't respond. Or I'm clearly not doing anything right. :/ Which could be the case as well.

    Re: Ben and Jerry's.....are we talking pints or bigger?

    Ben and Jerry's is one of my weaknesses. :)

    Mine too! Which one is your fav? I love Netflix and chilled, half baked and cone together.

    Wait there are bigger sizes than the pint? You should not have told me that😅

    Haha no, I think they just come in pints. I haven't seen other sizes and it's a good thing. :/ My favorite is Peanut Butter Cup. But there are many others I wouldn't say no to. :)

    I deserve that goddamn raise I haven't gotten for 3 years after going above and beyond for 2 clients today AFTER leaving work early just so they'd leave my boss alone who earned a few days rest.

    So, of course, I couldn't do the work I'd planned on doing while at home.

    Yea thank god, there is some justice in the world. Peanut butter cup has the highest calories..like 1400 if I am not mistaken. Otherwise it would have been one of my favs as well.

    I get irked when wrapping paper comes taped up. So by the time you get the tape off, you've already torn enough to wrap a package.

    @MsCzar I totally agree with you in regards to abandoning your own threads being frustrating to others. I have thought (I did not check this out in anyway whatsoever), but these may be people new to MyFitnessPal and don’t know how to re-access their threads. Just a thought.

    He's 83, he doesn't do online banking. I think this payment would have exceeded the allowable limit anyway.

    Oooh ok. Now I'm confused if the money was for the govt or the accountants and, God, I need to maybe take a real day off.

    So, yeah, he could have mailed the check! :)
