As a pedestrian I’ve had more near misses with bikes than with cars. I think the bicycles are generally looking out for cars but oblivious to the people in crosswalks or sidewalks. ”No cars coming so I’m going to bike at breakneck speed right through this red light,” says Mr. Bicycle as he plows through pedestrians in…

Im hearing that the will have a majority stake in hulu coming up too so thats where they’ll dump their over 13 products. So D+ is for the kiddies and nerds and hulu for a modern day "touchstone studios"

I watched both Song of the South and Gone with the Wind in the last year for the first time. I’m still baffled how one is considered a “treasure” and one is “not to be spoken of”.

Growing up if I didn’t want to eat the meal offered for dinner I was free to go about my night. My parents were like “See you at breakfast” It wasn’t until I was an adult myself that I learned other parents had made food specifically for their whiny picky kids. Look your kids are not going to starve if they fast one…

This exists already but for elderly. It’s called Commodity Supplimental Food program.To answer the question about delivery, you have to go pick it up yourself from a designated distribution spot. You get what you get regardless of dietary restrictions. Looks like this.

Where is the yearly spooky story thread? Did I miss it? Where? It’s a tradition.

A few times a year I go visit my parents and 1 day is designated “clutter clean” day. It helps to start this while they’re living because you can get the stories behind things as well as get a feel for how much you have left for when they shrug off their mortal shell.

As an urbanite living carless in Chicago, I love walmart.com. I loved it better of course when they were still doing the shipping pass program that had no minimum purchase. I would literally scan the product barcode with the app as I threw the box/can/package in the trash and “add to cart”. Walmarts prices on grocery…

I’ve worked at Walmart as well as 10 orher retailers. I was treated better at Walmart than Target and a heck if alot better than some others. Also as someone from southern Indiana I’ll let you in on a secret. The Walmart distriburion center treats and pays their employees better than “city folks” retail saint and lord…

I wanted a trapper keeper in 5th grade because everyone else had one. I was rebuffed by my parents who let me in on the fact it was too expensive and a regular 3 ring binder was adequate. I started to realize after that. Our elementary was mostly farming or blue collar so the wealth spread easn’t too substantial. When…

My great aunt wrote her own obituary. None of us knew about it till after the fact. The funeral home where she had prearranged her funeral decades before sent it to press. It was long and epic and included a bunch of digs at political opponents she had bested in her career. She had suffered from a long drawn out…

Can’t wait to get yelled at by spoiled rich people and office drones as I'm on my 10th hour on my feet as I labor on Labor Day. I burn this holiday in effigy.
