This is a very exciting deal on a product I want to try. Unfortunately, when I click the link, Amazon tells me “Note: This product is only available from third-party sellers.” But hey, 4 new available starting at $35.43. Whomp whomp.

... are you my sibling? My dad also has an arsenal here in SC. My parents’ neighbors are a chicken farm and a small vegetable farm. Dad could arm every wild turkey and raccoon in a 5-mile radius.
You’re welcome and have fun! I find cashiers are usually confused at first, but once they understand what you’re asking them to do, they’re really happy to play Grocery Fairy. :)
Hugs to you, friend. We’re living in messed-up, interesting times. We all have to do what we can to get through.
Wouldn’t that be the best? I sometimes fantasize about being able to gift a public school’s arts department, or my local library, with some huge amount of money. A walking-down-the-street giveaway sounds like so much fun.
Wonder Woman!!! You're the best. Enjoy the rest of your evening, too.
“Captain America paid for your ticket.”
That is seriously fantastic. What a fun experience for those kids. Way to go!
Thanks, but it’s really selfish... I do it when I’m in a rage about the world and feel like everything is garbage and I need to do something in my control to make it a tiny bit less of a dumpster fire. My mood is improved, other people’s day is improved, we all win. But my motivation is usually MAKE THE HURT STOP FOR…
I’ve never sprung for an entire grocery order, but I like to buy a grocery store gift card and leave it with the cashier to give to the next person in line. One cashier really gets into it and waits until she spots someone she thinks could use a happy little surprise, or looks like they need the help, or whatever. She…
My neighbors are chicken fanciers. They give me glorious fresh eggs and win blue ribbons at the state fair and all that stuff. I have a feeling they would cut off my egg supply if the words “chicken diapers” ever crossed my lips.
Political parties are not the beneficiaries of tax money. They help get people into government but are not, themselves, government. They operate largely as non-profit entities, but without tax-exempt classification. The Federal Election Commission strictly monitors the income and expenditures of political parties at…
WRT Musk, I don’t know what he’s doing behind closed doors with McCarthy. I HOPE (because I am, deep down, an idealist) that he’s using his friendship and financial influence to sway Republicans towards more sound environmental policy. He’s a one-trick pony; don’t look to Musk to lead the way on social issues or…
Maybe he’s not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . It’s probably less expensive to change the system from the inside than to tear the whole damn thing down and rebuild from scratch. It’ll be interesting to see where his money goes this election season, if he gives directly to individual candidates, and if so which ones. There are limits on…
Does he HAVE to? Of course not. But maybe he’s also working behind the scenes to wheel and deal a shift in GOP environmental policy, on the basis that his personal relationship with McCarthy will hold sway. I don’t know. But I do know that he’s given roughly the same amount to GOP and Dem groups over the years, which…
I think anyone who has worked inside the political machine gets over their financial idealism real quick, or else moves on. Yes, it is all pay to play. Corporations and wealthy donors give to both D’s and R’s so they have a say, no matter who’s in power. I’ve seen the books, the binders full of donor bios with records…
Because you can't pay staffers or keep the lights on without money, much less support candidates.
Congratulations on taking this first, huge step! The first few weeks were so hard for me and they might be for you, too. Your addiction is going to be very upset that you aren’t feeding it, and will do everything it can to undermine you. Go ahead and indulge your sweet/carb tooth (I was NOT expecting that) and take…
I was a kid in the 80's, and Waldenbooks was my mall nirvana, while my brother lived in Sam Goody.
I was genuinely surprised June didn’t ask Serena to come with her, or that Serena didn’t ask to come. That’s the ending I thought was coming for this season.
That’s a good point. Instead of executing Eden, they could have nullified her marriage to Nick and made her a handmaid. She comes from good breeding stock (her parents had two children), so killing her was a ridiculous waste.
