And you might not believe this, but there is not a Starbucks within walking distance of where I work!

Me neither. And I just realized this, but there isn't a Starbuck's on my route between home and work.

But I do have frozen yogurt at ghome, so all is not lost.

There's a Starbuck's not too far from me (you doubted?), but they aren't doing the promotion.

OTOH, Alpha Beta was giving away free Haagen-Dazs all last week, so I can't complain.

Huh. I just bopped down the street for some lunch, and two young women were handing out free flowers. Red roses, to be exact, no doubt to promote a flower shop.

I ended up with a rose on the way to the deli. I ordered my food. As he was packaging up my soup, register boy asked, "So, would you rather get free flowers on the street, or flowers from your boyfriend?"

I blinked at him in confusion for a couple of minutes in 'does not compute' mode. The question was problematic because the default assumption was that I a) cared, b) had a boyfriend, and c) liked flowers. For the sake of argument, let's pretend all of the above are true, but then, I'd still need more data. Are the flowers from said non-existent boyfriend for a happy occasion, or did he screw up? Did he get me my favorite flowers, or just generic flowers because that's what you do when you're in a relationship? I mean, I need to know these facts in order to evaluate the question properly!

And that's when I realized I was insane.

A week of free ice cream? That's fantastic. Every place should do that.

Anyone want to buy a used Honda Civic DX HB?

Me, assuming "DX HB" translates to "two-door."

Except I kind of already bought one this weekend.

It's very shiny and red.

Hi. I just read 900 posts, but then a kerfuffle started and I got skeered and forgot all I had read.

I want free ice cream! Maybe I'll see if the Starbucks by my house still has any by the time I get there. I love getting free stuff from stores I don't patronize.

Will kiwi fruits be OK in my desk drawer until I get home ~6, or should I put them in the fridge? The thing is, I'm afraid I'll forget them in the fridge.

There's like nine around here. We're hatching plots to see how much we can get.

I can't imagine why not.

Are they claustrophobic kiwi fruits?
