Aldi’s around where I live also offer pickup and delivery. So you can have it any way you want. They also had toilet paper when nobody else did, so they went way up in my esteem.

The link “photo of your eyes” does link to 1-800-Contacts website, where they will do the exam. However, it assumes you wear contacts and that you have a copy of your current prescription, too.

“Um, Bridge? He’s not my uncle.”

If you have a farmers market near you, they might have online options, too. The one in our town is shut down, of course, but their site links to the sites some of the vendors have set up to sell their stuff. A local U-pick fruit farm also has pickups 3 days a week, and they well out within the first hour.

Yeah, but Brooks is a distance runner, so he’ll outlast Fleischer easily.

I have an old K-Cup machine and reusable pods for those days when I can barely think straight. I use good beans and a proper burr grinder, and can manage that well enough even on the worst mornings. I save the more complicated gear (even Aeropress is a lot more complicated) for after I had my first jolt of caffeine.

To be fair, they’re conservatives. New ideas aren’t really their thing.

I’m gonna guess that he was not, in fact, aware of that, hence his predictable lack of success.

So, today is the fourth day of Woot’s ONE day sale on hammocks. And Best Buy was sold out of Labo kits before yesterday’s post even went live.

Dr. Yuko, thanks for sharing this. I’ve shared it among my circle of friends, and hopefully they and others will find it helpful. I’ve been recommending another, commercial, anxiety workbook but deliveries of those are delayed, since they’re non-essential items -- though I’d quibble with that designation just now.

Mail order still works. Get it?

Rachel and I both live in Texas. Maybe she’s lucky enough to have actual representation, but I sure as hell don’t. I’d be surprised if my Congresscritter even bothered to have anyone answer the phone.

The number belongs to Resistbot, which has been reliable and trustworthy. You can google them if you want to know more.

The Postal Service wouldn’t need to be on life support if Republican congressfolk could have kept their hands off of it. However, in 2006, Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), which required USPS to pre-fund their employees’ post-retirement healthcare costs for 75 years. No other…

Ordinarily I would assume these are rhetorical questions, but just in case:

You call your parents “Papa Roark” and “Mama Roark”? I’m upping my estimate into 1,000,000 times more likely.

Great idea! These days, when everyone is just rolling in spare cash, drop almost three grand (calculated on a family of 4) to keep your kids busy for a night. What fun!

I’m a baker, my husband is the cook. It’s been a good partnership for decades, but now he’s decided he needs to become The Best Breadmaker in the Land. It’s a little annoying but offset by fresh bread, so I’m okay with it.

Before you go out, you might want to work on reading comprehension. You’re sorely lacking in that. Or you’re an asshole. Maybe both. Probably both.

My parents are in their 80s and happily told us about the restricted hours for seniors/compromised (my husband is being treated for cancer) and how “safe” they would be, so we should totally use them too. I told them that sounded like shooting fish in a barrel, having all those extra-vulnerable people in one place.…
