what do people call coke other than coke? I mean I know there's coke, coke zero, diet coke etc. but do people ask for a "coke" when they really want a gingerale or something?
brain is hurting
Yes, in some parts of the country. I want to say Georgia which is where the coke headquaters is. You ask for a coke and they ask you what kind.
I call it pop as well but I used soda for a while after spending too much time with my Florida cousins. The one I don't get is calling everything Coke.
Guilty.
Not as much anymore, but when I was younger, all the time.

this is just so........wrong......... i just ...can't. even. no.
It's soda here, but just an hour and a half away it's pop.
I took a half day to set up cupcakes for my cousin's wedding. She ordered a small cake too. I brought everything into work so it wouldn't melt in the car. When I got the cake I saw the roses were sliding off the side. So my half day quickly changed to a full day off and getting home to fix the cake. It's fixed now, but I'm petrified to drive an hour with it. I'll be bringing a batch of frosting to the wedding just in case. Oh yea, I also had a moment at work where I cried about it. I was just so pissed.
I'm sorry you are having a bad morning You got it fixed and you are bringing extra frosting, so hopefully it will be fine! Maybe keep your car super cold when driving?? What kind of cake is it?
I had a plain, un-toasted, not halved (or quartered) no cream cheese bagel. It was as tasteless as it sounds but my tummy is not empty. I plan to make up for my tasteless breakfast at lunch!

I was talking to my awkward coworker about how his wife doesn't want to go to church with him and their son, and I said my husband doesn't like going to church either. Then he very awkwardly invited me to go with him to church sometime. Like, as his stand-in wife. You could tell he knew it was wrong halfway through the sentence, but he'd already started. I love the guy, but he is so painful to converse with sometimes.
Also if you call all soda "Coke" when you ask for a "Coke" what do they bring you? What if you don't want actual Coke? How do you specify?!
I have more questions about soda than I realized.
"I'll have a coke"
"What kind would you like?"
"Just a regular coke"
Really, though, when ordering, I would specify. It's more in the "I'd really like a coke" context that you'd be vague. It could mean you want any kind of soft drink.
So I know they are doing a full house spin off, but did everyone else know there was going to be a Lifetime movie? With different actors? I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't think I like it. It will probably be terrible.
The faces don't look like they should, the hair and the outfits is what makes them decently close.
This looks weird... like some horror movie where a family creepily replaces the family you thought you knew next door...

I think this may be a southern thing. Fun fact in Colombia we call soda 'gaseosa' which roughly translates to 'gassy'. My people also call soda 'coke' in a general way.

She's been working for her for a few years! Without giving too much away- my boss said a few things happened (involving her medications) and it made her uneasy so she counted her meds and wrote on the bottle (hidden) how many in each bottle. Apparently there were 14 pills missing within a two week time frame.
I really liked this lady! I would have never suspected she would do that.
Oh wow!
Pills seem worse to me than stealing material objects.
guys, I feel ill. My boss just called me to say that she had to fire one of the employees because she has been stealing from her.
That is horrible!
ETA: B's aunt has on several occasion stole narcotics from us. If we ever go on vacation, we take them just to make sure. It is a sad situation.
That is really sad. Before my grandma passed away a few years ago my grandparents had in home help and one of the nurses was stealing pills. People are just weird when it comes to pills and it's so sad.
It just makes me feel like all hired help will be looked at differently. There are about 30 people in and out of the house and yard a week (flowers, gardeners, dry cleaners, etc) so it makes me feel weird
This just sounds like a completely different world to me. I just want to hire someone to clean once a month.
They may be extra careful for a while, but you've got nothing to worry about!

This was the best decision we made... I gladly give up a few dinners out to have our cleaning lady once a month. It reduces so much stress for us.
