How do you make popcorn on the stove? Embarrassment
Sorry - missed this the first time around. I put enough oil in to coat the bottom of a pan - usually a heavy bottomed pan/soup pan (with a lid). I drop one kernel in, cover, and let heat (on medium heat) until that kernel pops. (I've done it without letting it heat, but I think the popcorn doesn't pop as fluffy if that makes sense). Then I put a layer of kernels in the pan - just enough to coat the bottom. After it starts popping, I shake shake shake the pan until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat, coat in butter and salt, consume. Big Grin

Now, if you want to do kettle corn, when you add the kernels add some sugar. You can add a little more sugar and salt after it's popped if you need to. Smilie

Like the Hindenburg. Hoping to schedule my induction on Monday for Thursday, depending on their schedule. Stick a fork in me cuz I'm so done with being pregnant. LOL
I forget if I commented on this earlier... I meant to say that if she's like mine, she'll be here the day before your induction! laugh out loud

Quote from Dazzledby5 :
then this guy walks up behind me
hug and wow... EEK! Glad you are okay though.

New coupon rule at my store. No more than 10 coupons
I'm guessing it's one of 2 things - they want to move folks in and out ASAP, or someone skimmed the email that mama quotes and saw "10" and figured that was a limit or something. I hope it turns around soon.

Quote from mama2cole :
Soooo... I had a VERY interesting run this afternoon. Saw a girl who I had tested out before and she passed round 1 of potential Jedi training. So I was ready to try round 2 with her. (I usually do 2 trials before attempting STFC). So I gather up the usually suspects and go to check out and she's gone. But I see a younger guy who I never seen before so I think "what the heck, let's give him a spin". While I'm checking out I notice that taped to EVERY register is this note:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To ensure every guest receives the full value for each coupon, we are introducing a temporary coupon redemption process effective immediately. We expect to have this systematically resolved within the next 10 days.

NEW! Temporary Coupon Redemption Process
1. Make eye contact with the guest, smile and give a sincere greeting.
2. Ask each guest at the beginning of the transaction 'Do you have any coupons today?'
3. Set the coupons aside until the end of the transaction
4. Scan all items

5. Process coupons one by one and check to ensure full value of each coupon was applied. If needed, adjust coupon amount by selecting
a) Discounts
b) Manufacturer coupon
c) Key in the remaining coupon amount Your immediate implementation of the above process will ensure we are providing a great guest experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I told DH to push the cart as fast as he could to the parking lot.
Hope everyone feels better at your place soon!

Wowzers on your sisters insurance premiums! Haven't tried pop secret, but I am soooo close to begging dh to go get some kernels.

Can't wait to do the TGIF deal!

laugh out loud at checking out with the mgr!

Quote from setsail :
I saw those signs last night and now the strict store near me now has the GSTL come over to scan ALL coupons. Mad I can't imagine how that is going to work when there is more than one customer ready to pay and coupons need to be scanned. What a pita.
I'd be tempted to organize a field trip just for the fun of it. I'd organize like 30 people or as many as possible. I'd give everyone a stack of coupons and have 'em all check out at the same time. Yeah, that would be fun to watch. I, naturally, would check out last so I could watch it all go down. laugh out loud

I'm feeling ornery tonight...

I still have not organized myself to shop. I found enuf stuff to make chili for tomorrow (in the crock pot) but kind of salted it a bit much. I don't have a potato, so I am unsure how to fix it. It's not inedible, just saltyish.

I think we'll do beef and noodles for dinner or sumpin along those lines.

Did you scan the Olay? Mine all was marked $5.44 and all rang up $5.04.

I'm heading out early tomorrow with both kids to hit up some hopefully 90% off halloween clearance. I decided that next year we're going to have a princess and pirate birthday party for the kids. Need to stock up on some stuff with pirate potential. Wink

So I start chatting with him about the current coupon problems and about how I've been filling out my surveys and putting on there about how ridiculous it is, blah blah blah. He scanned like a champ, manually put in an extra .50 when my Glade only deducted $2.50, k1d where needed, and when 1 of my b1g1s deducted $5 and the next Q only took off $3.50, he manually entered another $1.50. At the end of my tranny the LOD walks by he mentions that the register is running really slow (which it was) so she stopped for a second and saw the pile of coupons and asked if there were any problems, and he said just a few, but that he had fixed them. So I say... yes, he fixed them all, he was a really GREAT cashier. And at the same time they both say... well he/I should be, he's/I'm the STORE MANAGER! OMG I almost wet my pants right there. I mean, it wasn't a true STFC run, but it was close. I told him that I really appreciated how considerate he was about making sure that everything scanned correctly and that he was a great model for his employees. Then I told DH to push the cart as fast as he could to the parking lot.
Too funny! You actually reminded me, when I was just getting into the store yesterday, there was a manager talking to 2 new cashiers about Qs. It was basically that same speech. Watch the Qs, make sure the full value is deducted, if not manually adjust it. And I still had the CCV screen...

Quote from HDDVDTV :
Got 6 bath towels at Kohls this morning. Had an excellent cashier in the Jewelry dept that let me use all 6 - $5 coupons in one transaction along with 2 - 15% off cards.
I had no idea that you could combine % off Qs in a kohls tranny. I'm sure it's very YMMV on cashier, but I just didn't realize that the register would even do it (mental note to self Coverlaugh)

Hey stormy! Good to see you!!

Thanks for that confirmation!!! hug It was a little difficult to let go of that much money at once, and hubby was a bit shell-shocked when I told him on the phone, but we seriously have to do something major. Our carpets are just horrendous. We live in a rental and the quality of the carpet is the pits. It just eats up dirt and stains.

So anyway, can't wait to try it out now!
Aww thanks!

I have rental tan crappy carpet, a toddler, a teen, 2 adult cats and 4 kittens, it gets a good work out.

I also found the spot bot pet cleaner for 1/2 off 65.xx and that thing is awesome too
