I always thought they were the same animal. What are the differences?

Ground hog - land creature. Beaver primarily water creature. Both are mammals and rodents, but are different physically and in their life styles.

Good morning , Team Rachel.

Bed, Bath & Beyond has silverware pieces $ 1.99 each. Less the 20% per cent 0ff coupons they keep sending out -which covers the tax. Over the years have amassed some nice pieces, forks, salad forks, spoons, soup spoons,knives and my favorite long handled ice tea spoons used for deep digging ice cream out of cartoons, spreading knives etc. Love them.

When my son moved away many years ago, he took my good silverware (certainly NOT sterling) with him. But I like the ones I get at B,B, & B. Found other ladies on senior bus stocking up on them too.

In fact I have a ton of them and still manage to have every piece in the sink waiting to be washed (I am the dish washer - never had the appliance). so tend to procrastinate until
can't find any clean ones, and use up the plastic ones laying around.

Do manage to wash one ice cream spoon as needed, I have my priorities straight.

Um, no it is a woodchuck AKA groundhog i.e. a large destructive member of the squirrel family.

Can you tell me how much wood can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood??????

Diva do you ever want to toss some of the other ladies under the bus? for some reason that question just popped in my head!

Yep, and a beaver is an even larger, even more destructive member of the squirrel family that likes water.

None near as I can tell, since they don't actually "chuck" wood. They do, however, dig some large and very long tunnels that undermine the ground, stone foundations and leave "pop holes" for people and animals to break a leg in.

But somehow "how much dirt could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck dirt" just doesn't cut it

1. Be happy you aren't using silver! I think I'd have taken up the habit of watching the little ones as they clean their plates. Nip that "if it isn't part of the plate, throw it out" thing in the bud.
2. Seems your people work faster than @CapricornFarm's people.

Well, they started replacing the screen on our patio. They'll finish it today. YAY! I'll be bug free out there soon. Can't wait.

I had to go to town yesterday, to pick up something I had ordered, and I decided to get a set of everyday stainless flatware. Since Dd #1 has taught the kids to clear their plates from the table, and scrape the little bit of remaining food into the garbage can, a lot of my silverware is missing. Most of my spoons are gone, so I know it's them cleaning their plates in the garbage, then tossing the spoons in, or the spoons are falling in. They had a decent set on sale for $40.00 with 16 teaspoons, instead of the normal 8. I also got some cheap kid spoons for them. Now, I'm prepared for the little buggers.

I looked into getting the missing pieces for the set I already have. It's going to cost me over $75.00 to replace them. Good grief! Back in the day, I got the whole set, service for 8, and the completer serving pieces for about $50.00 That same set is about $200.00 today. I will get the pieces I need, but I'll get some each payday, until I get it completed. I'll put it up until they get older. They can use the cheaper set I got yesterday until then.

When I worked at Safeway they called losses like that shrinkage!

Gotta love the help! You may need to check the garbage before it goes to the dump LOL. I have to do that here too

I'm in the same boat. Have kept most of the set I've had for years, but the teaspoons have gone missing and I need to replace them a few at a time.

the rhyme I quoted is very old and was even used in a commercial a few years back on TV, the nip it in the bud made me think of Barney Fyffe repeating it over and over again on the Andy Griffith show.

that is the term used in all retail meaning losses of inventory I worked at a grocery store for years and wal mart for a while and was use to the lingo. I'm sure some store(s) call it something else but 99.9% call it shrink or shrinkage. also I would not be surprised in the companies that use that phrase may use 2 or more different words or phrases under that heading for different kinds of shrink, like the difference between a rotten tomato, a stolen candy bar and a can of soup rang up wrong.....
