I thought I’d lose weight, too. I’m eating two meals a day, no snacks. Almost none of the meals are fast or takeout. And yet... The complete lack of physical activity, I guess, has me holding even. And I used to eat a ton of fast food, restaurants, etc. I’m just glad I’m not gaining weight, I suppose?

I used to stop every morning on my way to work for a breakfast burrito. Now, not working, we make a package of bacon and one pack of sausage once a week, and keep the leftovers in the fridge. Two minutes to scramble some eggs, 30 seconds to microwave a tortilla and some bacon... Easy breakfast burrito at home. Maybe…

My kids love every part of that story. I'm not THAT old, but I can remember the lone shop in Miami that my mom took me to when I was very little, and it had a post office upstairs and a soda counter downstairs. I think it was a Woolworths or something similar. The poor class's version of the NYC department store tea…

So, these are actual documents from authorities, and not some doctored thing that just “appeared,” right? I ask because it seems like the anti-vaxxers (slash-antipedophilia-crusaders, Qanon nutjobs) seem like they have a real thing where anyone they don’t agree with keeps popping up on “Epstein’s flightlogs” only I’m…

Purely here just to say Patricia T-G represents my area, and she’s a really nice person. I hope she wins.

This is who has the new Psych movie, right? I’m considering checking it out just for that, but I’m also lazy and hope they’ll eventually run it on regular TV. I don’t mind waiting.

No idea why, but my local store has been OUT of canned green beans (a household fave, sue me) for weeks. It’s the weirdest thing, to me. Almost everything else is back to normal, aside from random spotty outages, but nothing else has been consistently out for several weeks.

This. Of all my friends in college, the one who had the most guys chasing her was the one who frequently and calmly insisted that she “didn’t date.” (Which was not true, honestly. She just didn’t date until she found someone she wanted to date, but still.)

I am generally a really easy going customer, happily eating whatever I’m served, even if it’s not what I asked for, without complaint. Mostly because I don’t want to cause a fuss, and I’m hungry enough to just eat whatever. But sometimes when it’s cold weather, I like to eat soup and a grilled cheese sandwich on my…

Somewhere back in the early 1980s, Cheerios did a thing where you could send away for a little yellow cereal bowl and a CUSTOM spoon with your child’s name on it. (or yours, I suppose, but it was marketed for children.) So, thanks to my mom’s clipping and mailing skills, I have this yellow Cheerios bowl that says “You…

Because it’s the latest “why you should not wear a mask” thing going around from the ding dongs on facebook who do all their own research on Pub Med and wish all the sheep would learn to think for themselves, like all the other anti-vaxxer clones.

Right? I kinda want to just concede the point just to get to the important stuff. “Sure, yeah, totally from a lab. Now let’s talk about what our government needs to do for us to help us get through this,” none of which is bomb China or whatever retaliatory dumb shit some might come up with.

Hang in there! Babies are hard but you’re right at that cusp where it starts to begin to get slightly better (after the “fourth trimester). Sending you some support and internet hugs!

Yes, this. I toured a meat packing plant one time for a story (do not recommend) and the manager was like, “and then Thursday is our generic day, when we change the labels.” Same turkeys, same farms.

Ok, I’m really going to need more on the correlation on bananas, gum and theft. Not necessarily doubting you, I just am dying to know the reasoning. Or is it just pure statistics at this point? I’m curious about the part behind the stats, really.

I hate to tell you, but you’re probably actually one of their favorite people to datamine. You are a real time experiment in the effectiveness of in-store marketing, I suspect. 

Very cool read, but, what the hell is the green stuff on top??

I’ve noticed that my “local” big paper is getting more and more into the events business, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried something like this. Like, they are constantly coming up with new big events which require sponsorships and/or ad buys. (Or more likely, sponsorships which come with ad buys) Kidapalooza, 40…
