My mom always shopped at a regional chain grocery store called Marsh Foodliner. Isn't that a great name?

When I was a kid, my mom shopped at Red Owl.

There's a big grocery store in Wisconsin called Woodman's.

I used to shop at Woodmans in Madison. Or Woodmans East, as maybe there was more than one (I don't remember).

Is it too late to weigh in on the Pizza toppings? My favorite under-rated topping is anchovies. (If by underrated you mean "hated and despised by most of my meatspace friends".)

That's weird, Allyson. Do we think of Lost as a girly show? Or is the hobbit factor skewing the data? Boys go to fandom parties, right?

About dog behavior, we're new dog owners, so Seabiscuit has pretty much learned sit and stay and that's it. In fact, if he ever gets the impression that you want something out of him, he immediately sits, because he figures that's what you always want, which has its disadvantages.

He's really good-mannered though, on the whole. He doesn't ever get up on our furniture because he's not allowed, but I did get up one morning at the SO's folks house this Christmas to find him sitting on the loveseat, pretty as you please, absolutely puzzled when I scolded him. We do let him on the bed, though, because we're huge freaking softies, which is a shame, because he's not a small dog.

Yeah, but what if the boys and the girls are there for the same reason, to lust after Sawyer?

They overcome their differences in the winter.

A recommended technique to get cranky cats to get along better is to turn down the thermostat. Funny how that works.

t eta I can't believe how beautifully purely white Cash's cat is. So cool.

Joy oh joy, I missed it so much when movie matinee prices were priced before six every day instead of just the first showing. Take that Hollywood.

Oh, I'd forgotten Woodmans. And the Sentry.

Oh, and we shopped at a Sparkle when I was a kid. I liked the imagery.
