S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I believe that counts. Miss you already.

hip deep in pie

I have been needing tissue so often now for 3 days that the skin under my nose and on either side is chapped. I am putting on petroleum jelly tonight, all lotions and make-up sting. enough stupid allergies sinus crap. and the medicines not so much really stopping the runny nose.

You need the Kleenex with the lotion. They're non-chafing.

One chain of grocery stores here has started charging .05/bag. At one of their stores they don't give out bags at all, you have to bring your own or buy thier reusable ones.

This is usually not a problem for me because I've been schlepping my groceries home in a backpack for years. I have become extremely picky and I can't let anyone else pack my own groceries in my bags, and I get irritated if they don't ring in my groceries in the way I've put them on the counter--because I have put them on the counter in the exact order I want to put them in my bag.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sue, I am exactly the same. I just tell the vashier to put it on The back and I'll bag. Otherwise I end up angry and rebagging.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I keep getting the paper bags because that's what we put the newspapers and other paper recycling into. It's worth $.05 per bag for me for that!

And, plus, you know it gets recycled, so it's a win for us all.

How do people think this dress would look on me? [link] (I need to get a new workish dress)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They used to effectively charge .05 per bag at Ralph's by giving a .05 discount for every bag you brought in. Now they give you 5 points to your account and that turns into dollars every blue moon, and really, you're just doing it for the environment and nothing immediately palpable.

I do feel fail when I mis-estimate how much I'm buying and need to get a store bag. Even though I recycle those too.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Yikes ita, hope your mom is all right.

Also, randomly, has anyone else seen the awesomeness of which line to stand in at the grocery store now with improved data collection?

Does the data explain why someone in front of me always has some issue that requires a manager to be called over, stalling the line?
