My coworkers and I had been debating buying an air fryer to leave in our kitchen. Hmm.

I've seen people leave a cooler out with drinks in them and a sign saying "thank you! take one" and a basket of snacks (chips, crackers, etc, things that can stand the heat) if you need thoughts/ideas. Maybe it is a UPS thing - our UPS guy always presses the doorbell on our ring (we have the peephole one, so it's not as obvious) and is always in a good mood.

Each year we see the viral videos of people leaving snacks and other small gifts for delivery drivers. Do you know your local delivery driver? I feel like the UPS guy knows us. Will you leave anything out for them for the holidays as a thank you? What have you seen done that you thought was a nice gesture of appreciation?

I can't believe this month is nearly over.

If you want a powerful blender, then the Vitamix is for you. If you're happy with the Ninja and it meets your needs, look into the Vitamix to see if it is worth the $500 for you. And of course, watch "will it blend?" on youtube. Haven't had a chance to browse yet, since I don't really "need" anything right now.

That's probably a smart move for Overstock - BB&B has the better long term brand recognition.

It's the last two days of my local BB&B - went in today, as it was down to 80-90% off. Nothing much there unless you wanted to a rug - they had plenty of those - along with cloth shower curtains (ugh.) I'll miss you, BB&B - always went there first if I needed something for the kitchen.

Looking spiffy.

Ah that's why I didn't find anything - i was searching the Black Friday forum deals, not a mid-year deal.

It's too early to know if they will - stay tuned

To East Coast friends dealing with the fire smoke from someone way to experienced in this: 1. Purchase air purifiers for your home (if any are left) - THEY HELP. Smoke does seep into your homes. Running the a/c helps as well. 2. Stay inside as much as you can. Delay any outside yardwork, don't go on walks, etc - your lungs will thank you. 3. If driving, do not open the windows. Just run the a/c. 4. If you HAVE to go outside, wear a mask, preferably N95. We keep them around year round just because a fire will happen again in this state - we're hoping it won't here because of all the rain this year, but I also think "huh lots of fuel to burn this year..."

FINALLY. No rain for a week!

Awesome! Fantastic for her!

This is the most wild weather, everyone. In SoCal there are blizzard warnings up for the highest elevations. The wind was nuts here the last two days.

Happy Lunar New Year! This year is the year of the Rabbit, and for those who are Vietnamese, it is the year of the cat. May this year be filled with good health, prosperity and fortune.

Starting to tire of the words "bomb cyclone" and "atmospheric river" - so much rain...

Same - our break starts the 21st, and I'm starting the 19th. We're back the 4th and I'll go back then, since it's quieter.

One more week of work for 2022... sing along everyone...

I have a long rant here about purchasing exclusive merch on eBay because it's creating a terrible environment where people are buying up all the exclusive items for resale but sigh, I get it.

I am STILL trying to buy my holiday cards from Staples but their site keeps hanging. WAIT NO IT MIGHT WORK NOW.

They have some items on sale right now, but it's not saying exclusively Black Friday: https://shop.lululemon.com/c/sale/_/N-1z0xcuuZ8t6?icid=cdp-story:black-friday;3;13medmasonry;cdp:womens-we-made-too-much;campaigns;blackfriday
