Chillin' with Whirlpool

Today the fridge came. It's pretty and shiny white.


The delivery guys were supposed to be there between 10 and 12 noon. So we went to the house and waited. We did a few little jobs, but we mostly waited. They arrived at about 12:20 pm, of course. Thankfully, they were nice, so we forgave them.

Here's a question...do you tip delivery guys when you've been charged a delivery fee already??

Edited to add, since Teresa mentioned it and reminded me: M did offer them each a cold soda, which made one very happy especially because we had Dr Pepper. But of course! They were very glad for the cold drink (from the cooler).

  1. Wow...is it awful to say I never thought about tipping them when I paid a delivery fee?

  2. pretty!

    Ugh, I hate tipping rules. I never know. For delivery, sometimes I do. I figure people always like money, and a few dollars won't hurt.

    Like the furniture guys who were here for 45 minutes on a rainy day, trying to fit the couch in through our stupid tiny doors, they got a tip. But the guy who brought the dishwasher, he was gone before I even had time to think about it.

    I'm useless.

  3. I would tip only if the delivery people did something extra. For example... Remove the old item from your house, and it wasn't planned or paid for. If it is warm, I would consider offering a can of soda or water....

  6. No, I don't generally tip for deliveries, unless they have problems that were unplanned -- like something not fitting thru a door!
    Drinks were nice. They will remember that.

  8. Good question-I never know as well. I once gave a guy a fresh baked muffin since they were done while he was setting up new furniture once. He enjoyed that!

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
