This is weird to me, because why would so many production companies cover for a DP on a show that’s not really known for groundbreaking visuals? How hard could it be to replace a DP on a show that had its house style locked from the pilot?

I have switched from my “local” HEB (<5 min away) to a newer one that’s about 15 - 20 min away. It’s, well, newer, with a better layout and much better selection of the prepared foods as well as staples. And people seem much more chill there. And I don’t mind the drive since it’s about the only “exercise” my vehicle…

I generally really enjoy grocery shopping when I’m not in a rush and can just look at all the products and compare price per ounce, etc. However, now grocery shopping causes anxiety and is much less pleasant as I’m concentrated on being efficient, making sure the purchase will last for at least a week, and trying not…

HEB till I die. 

I live near a small food distributor who previously served only restaurants. To survive during COVID, they shifted and began allowing retail orders. It has worked out very well for us. Their full product line is always available, and you can get a pickup time for the next day. You simply pull your car up, tell them…

I switched because the Kroger I usually go to kept changing their opening hours without warning. First it was 6 am, so I’d go at 6, and they’d be closed with a sign that said they’d be open at 8. So next week I’d go at 8, and they’d be closed with a sign that said they’d be open at 10. At 8 other stores are open, so I…

Monkey Ward’s.

Sally Field was (and is) cute AF.

The best part of the movie, despite garnering almost no mention here, is Gleason’s Sheriff Buford T. Justice. He apparently ad-libbed just about every one of his lines. A brilliant performance.

Smokey and the Bandit is an American classic and deserves a spot among the best films ever made. I’ll fight you on that. It never takes itself too seriously and is all the better for it. I’ve nothing against the F&F movies, but they just seem too wrapped up in appearing maximum badass and cool all the time, while…

If it helps, I had a friend just straight up ghost me with no explanation too. I thought we were super close, my kid called her “auntie Beth”, etc. It was my birthday, we had plans, and she just... never showed up. Never answered my calls again. We were both in the same performance troupe and she quit without a word.…

I just wanted to point out the plus side, which is - you seem to recognize you learned some things from this woman about business and work life. In a way, by taking some of her time, you benefitted, even though it was not meant to be a long term friendship. I have a lot of people I think may go on to be good friends,…

She was one of my freshman year roommates. I adored her right off the bat, as did everyone else it seemed. She was effortlessly cool, yet relatable and kind. The type of person you instantly feel comfortable divulging secrets to. We hung out a lot the first few months of college. I felt more connected to her than I…

Respectfully disagree; the friend knows what she did. Laying out how somebody fucked up is good when the ex-friend has their head firmly up their ass, but here, BowlofCherries is probably best off just blocking this woman’s email and moving on. Ex-friend here is just looking to feel like a good person for not writing…

Dude most of the stories here are so childish and silly buy your is a real mystery. 

My former best friend and I met when we were 11. We were best friends for many years. I was the maid of honor at her first wedding and she was my maid of honor. She was in the room when my Daughter was born. I helped her move out in haste when she came out to her family, and they didn’t take it well. We were roommates…

Um, okay. Mine isn’t a fireworks blowout, but just sort of sad. Friend and I met as freshman roommates, and we remained roommates throughout college. Went to each other’s homes for vacations, etc. Really close friends. After college, friend moved overseas for a job, and I stayed for grad school, but we saw each other…

Oh, my God. A few years ago when Husband and I were buying a new couch we ordered one online from Sears. Sears, who literally invented the first iteration of remote shopping, the Sears Catalogue.

This is what I don’t get. The same department stores that are going bankrupt and closing are the ones responsible for driving people away from the stores and online. Service was better, staff was actually knowledgeable about the products, and if they didn’t have something they would order it for you. Now, you’re lucky…

I think it must have been actually pretty realistic training. I grew up in Southeast Texas, and if you’ve ever ween a harvested pine forest it looks a lot like the Ardennes after a few artillery barrages.
