Necessary. Very limited public transportation. What we do have picks up at certain places to go to downtown Charlotte. There is not public transportation in my town to get from one side to the other. Most roads don't have sidewalks either. My neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. I technically...

I grew up calling it a buggy (and most people still call it that) but I call it a cart.

I don't have a problem with a candidate bringing in notes or jotting down notes. IMO it's best to jot down some key words from projects you've worked on or something specific you want to not forget to mention about your experience. Something you can see at a glance and trigger your memory.

Me- my daily car is 18 years and has around 91,000 so I drive ~5000/year. I work from home 2 days/week and when I got to the office it's less than a 10mi round trip commute. DH's car is the one we take a trips and such but since he retired he's prob in the same range as me.

If you're going to a reasonably priced restaurant I would plan to pick up the tab for everyone then follow the cues of the BF's Dad. If he tells the server to split the tab or insists on picking up for everyone then let it be.

Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winner!!

Kind of. We went to St Thomas on our honeymoon. We've been back to the island several times but haven't been back to the specific resort.

In person. I'm on the board of an industry conference and we do in person only. The networking is the key part of the conference. We have multi day meetings internally at our corporate office for folks from our mills in attendance. We don't call them conferences though. An key part of these...

I remember them up to the late 70's locally. We were in Europe last fall and you had to pay to use all public toilets.

We took my Mom to Spain, Italy, and France in 2022. She was 78. She had had surgery on both of her feet 2 years earlier. She didn't have any issues. DH and I went to Germany last year. When got back he had blood clots in his legs from the plane trip. We are traveling to Hawaii from SC in May...

I wonder if his friends new he was ejected from the bar. If it was crowded and they had gotten a separated at the moment the bartender/bouncer made him leave the people he came with may not have known he left.

This was an answer on Jeopardy! last night. LOL I only knew because of this thread.

A coworker was going to name her baby girl Kizmit until we talked her out of it.

We've never had a housecleaner. In the early years it was due to money- if we had extra we preferred to spend it elsewhere. Now there is just 2 of us at home. DH is retired and I still work (2 days WFH, 3 in the office). He does most of the housecleaning now because he has the time during the week.

We put my mother on our cellphone plan and pay that for her for birthdays/mother's day/Christmas etc. She said she would rather have that taken care of than more stuff. When my dad was still living I found someone to come out every other week and mow is yard. I did that for a couple of years...

Yeah, growing up in small town SC, lunch was the noon time mean unless it was Sunday. Sunday dinner was right after church and the main meal of the day. When DH (from Cleveland) and I were dating he was always confused on what time the meal was when my mom would say 'y'all come by for dinner'...

Tuesdays. We work from home Monday and Friday so Tuesday is the first day of the week in the office and is slammed with meetings.

We have a divided laundry basket in the bedroom- one side darks and one side whites. When a side is full they get washed. They are taken out of the dryer, folded, and taken to the bedroom to be put away. We don't put them back in the hamper.

Gen X married to a Boomer and we have a Millennial. Yeah, we have some different viewpoints in our house for sure.

I would say $100-$200/month but there may be some months that are a little more. We typically either order take out or go out every other week. No set schedule or places. But even take out for dinner it $30-$40 for the 2 of us. Most of the time we get 2-3 meals each out of the take out.
