for all intensive purposes you know what they mean though.

i feel like ‘millennial’ is just the new catch-all replacement for ‘kids these days.’ it’s something to grumble when the youths are doing something obnoxious, without taking into consideration that the youths eventually grow older and not everybody in the larval stage is a millennial. college kids are now firmly gen z…

no cheeseball? wow, mine has tons of cheese-related items. weird. but yeah, the canned stuff is where it’s at. progresso soups sell for $1.32 at my location which is bonkers, so i will put up with certain inconveniences for that. most of the time though, i’ll suck it up and drive 5 minutes to the over-crowded shopping…

as an evening and weekend delivery driver, we appreciate that old-school approach.

blegh. i feel this. there used to be a fry’s (kroger) in my neighborhood, but it closed and all that’s there now is a walmart neighborhood market. i loathe shopping there for myriad reasons - inattentive/dgaf staff, the hoardes of unattended children and angry people, the randomly high prices on meat, lack of decent…

i’m irrationally angry that the walmart grocery store by my apartment has stopped selling their 8-roll pack of 1000-sheet tp for $5 and change. sure, it’s not the best tp, but goddammit, it lasts way longer and when my partner and his friends and our cats all feel compelled to use it indiscriminately for everything -…

oh my god, QOW in the wild! thank you for this. i used to have a livejournal icon made out of the charles darwin powers when i was ranting about whatever flavor of stupidity was bothering me that day. ...i also realize i am a cranky old, but i’m fine with it.

i thought grazing just applied to things in the produce section, like grapes or bulk bins of nuts, or by hovering over the sample displays for a little too long.

well shit, i guess this means i wasn’t hallucinating while at the store getting chicken for soup the last time i was sick. the thighs cost more than the breasts and i was weirded out and chalked it up to not reading it correctly due to feeling ill. guess it wasn’t a fever dream after all.

huh...interesting. i’m a super-taster in some respects (the anti-cilantro gene runs in my family and while i don’t mind that particular one, saffron tastes like acidic plastic- and not just some, all of it, in every capacity i’ve ever tried) and an awful lot of things taste way too strong or nasty to me, but i don’t…

...i feel like that might explain why i broke out so horribly after trying it some time ago :| i’d heard such good things about it but my god it ripped my skin to shreds. if it was old product, then, yikes.

my mother used to nitpick at me when i was a kid for missing corn silks. it sounds dumb but oh my god i hated it so much and as much as i loved summer then (and kind of do now but living in the southwest puts a damper on it), i hated it for the corn shucking and constant reminders of how i wasn’t living up to…

i’m glad you clarified that.

word on the best cookies in the world being mom’s sugar cookies. my mom def makes my favorite, and while i’m pretty sure it’s the almond extract she puts in, it’s also tied to childhood and all that nostalgia business. 

not gonna lie, i was never into the idea of all the smart bulbs and alexas and whatnot. then i wound up with an alexa and a couple smart plugs and a set of 10,000-color smart bulbs for christmas from my brother and um....it’s kind of awesome. i love that once i’m in bed, i can tell the dang thing to turn off the…

i will always fondly remember clearly canadian from my youth and out of nostalgia say that’s my favorite bubbly water. la croix is only okay if you’re using it as part of an it’s-hot-outside cocktail, like a fruit spritzer or something. then the actual fruit juice covers up what la croix lacks. but honestly i’ll just…

i will require some bouncy balls and rubber snap-pop things for that toy selection to suffice. perhaps also some better candy.

if it doesn’t come with a bunch of tickets and a grab bag of cheap trinkets for people to barter for with said tickets, there is no reason for this to be a thing.

dammit! they missed one.

okay though, to be fair, cheba hut subs are effing amazinggggg and shouldn’t be tainted by the killjoy who runs the operation. there’s one down the street from me in tucson that we order from occasionally and it is utterly delightful. the fact that there’s a picture of Ice-T on the lipton button of the soda machine…
