Oh, and if you like the Amy's brand frozen pizza and burritos, I'm 99% sure that the TJ's brand are just repackaged Amy's, for about half the price.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Money and friends can get really uncomfortable when they're mixed, depending on the friend. I just got back from my book group, and one of the members heads the local Planned Parenthood. They're having a fundraiser, and she asked for contributions in book group. Of course I support the organization, and I want it (and her) to succeed. But I'd much rather get a letter in the mail and take some time to decide what I want to give and when I want to give it.

In less fraught news, I'm now planning on hitting TJs after work tomorrow. I'm thinking I should print out this page of the thread first.

I'm fully cognizant of what I got into when I started loaning her money and paying her kid's preschool. I have my own issues that are me alone. But, I don't want to become the bankofsara to her. And we're getting close.

Also, if you want to try whole wheat pasta, the TJ's brand is by far the best I've tried. Well, probably tied with Bionaturae, but about a quarter of the price. Way better than the brands I've tried from regular grocery stores.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, you're going to need to put a brake on that. Good luck....

Why do I have hiccups??

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I know lots of vegetarians and vegans that are there because of nonviolence. They might find that ad insulting or at least not clear on the concept

ION, pretty typical for PETA.
