In that response, I see one fact and one popular opinion. MSPA is a training opportunity for shoppers. (Last I knew, we could choose gold and/or silver certification). In the opinion of numerous posters here, MSPA does not blatantly advocate for or promote shoppers. Should it? Can it? It seems to be about the clients whose jobs MSPA provides to shoppers. In this role,it MSPA needs to establish
Wonder if the OP will find their way back here and continue their good fight...
Meanwhile, on another front, there is the fascinating book 'The Good Fight Continues'by Peter N. Carroll.
History, language, reasons to fight traditionally and irregularly, and whatever each reader will find... all present and accounted for...
For us and this forum: Even now, we have threads popping up where
This is the 51st season of SNL. What. It seemed like better news than the latest school shooting. And, it prevents a wee diatribe about the warping of Matthew (... suffer the children and hinder them not... does not mean make them suffer and die!)
Ahem.

I’m lost already. Pls fill us in. Re cake quote: wouldn’t it be stale by then, even when frozen?
This rich cake matures for three months. It receives the first pour of brandy after it cools. During the next three months, the cake is well wrapped but receives the occasional drizzle of brandy. It is ready in time
Hi, terrys! And, welcome to the forum!
You are in the General Chat portion of the larger forum. This is for everything except business.
For a more businesslike point of view, may I suggest the Mystery Shop and Mystery Shop Company sections? They are devoted to the business of mystery shopping. There are additional sections- for merchandising, job announcements, and new shoppers.
Good
So another atomic habit is spending too much time online, generally. At the end of this week (presumably) I will know what to change in other areas- and end up offline, more productive, and free of unanticipated additional time-oriented issues. Ironically, I found my way to getting up reeaaallly early in the morning and loving both the morning and early activity many years ago, and long before I
Thank you. I am guessing that my little change, to more extensive use of e-audio materials, counts as atomic. This little change makes my reading/listening/learning/amusement/working/working out/etc. easy to fit into each day and into most places. I actually do more of what is important now than I did when I was reading the tangible books almist exclusively.
This consistent action is the way
Atomic? Have not read that book. Practical? Definitely! I have begun using audio and e-audiobooks on my phone more often. Oldies, such as classics in the public domain, are on one app. The library has numerous and newer resources. The Bible is on an app that has features for reading, listening, and studying. You can choose among versions and even set a timer within the app for each session! All
Had a coworker who looked exactly like Colonel Sanders. Couldn't have been shopperbob, though. Ooky, if there at least two of them out there...
One of my fave towns has original old lights at a few businesses. Charming!
That sounds like someone's idea of wonderful. Even if funds materialized and I could afford luxury, I would only want my own little private experience. Spa services will probably become cost prohibitive, and I do not foresee returning to spas. The only thing to do is continue to refine my diy efforts. At home, I use my few accumulated gadgets, time, visualuzation, will, and intention. My effor
Have been reading a bit of news. Goofiest news? Cracker Barrel ditched the mac 'n' cheese colored figure and barrel. Apparently, "old-timey" is bad and modern looking is good. I do not prefer the ever more modern aesthtic that is on the verge of overtaking our world. It just seems soulless, and it repels me. There should be as much as possible for us to behold that ranges from oldest surviving to
We might have different ideas about spa visits. I like (well,liked) my own little massage in a calm, quiet room. My purpose was to relax. Groupie nudie stuff sounds yucky!
If you qualify, may you be blessed and revered today and every day. If you have yet to reach this milestone, may you get there in a world in which you will be blessed and revered every day.
A few add'l thoughts... it is also the anniversary of the release of Dirty Dancing... it is Thursday, which some people say is the right day to listen to Jupiter from The Planets (I do not disagree and sugg
No judgment. Only hearty approval. Tolls are what they are. Spa visits give us someone who can help because they literally reach parts of us that we can't get to, even on a good day. Spa visits should not be just a luxury. !
I miss spa visits.
How much time and effort is involved with obtaining $200 of food from the grocery shops?
How does this compare to the uber packaging shop?
Not a no-brainer.
I am temporarily homebound (no vehicle) and could evaluate packaging. I will not do this because it is not feasible to spend my money and wait for reimbursement. I also limit salt and sugars and might not want the designated range
Someone, possibly on another forum, wrote about a possible additional value. Mind you, they did not specifically state mystery shop. It seems reasonable to go one step farther and use the idea for a known mystery shop.
Salvage/harvest the meal components and use ingredients in expected and unexpected ways.
I have not tried this, but I would consider it for some food.
I like salad as a complete meal. Anything less seems like a waste of time. Still miss my salad book that had oodles of salad recipes... numerous ways to adapt and personalize... and incorporate leftovers... super helpful for the back & budget... think i accidentally donated it during a Mari Tokuda-style sorting session... anywasaaayyyy, you are spot on about salad dressings. A drop or two o
