The Chicago NW 'burbs have a mini-chain of supermarkets called Caputo's, which started out as an Italian fruit/veggie market and has grown extensively. They have the best selection of just about every fruit and veggie (except, for some reason, apples), and their Italian food selection is terrific. After I discovered them and took my mom there once, she would ask if we could stop by the store every time she came to visit. The prices there are the best thing about them--I walk out of there with four bags of produce, pasta, and other assorted groceries for less than $12.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't stop watching Dawson's Creek videos on youtube. I blame Pacey-Con.

I know, I know, I have "being right" issues. But all I'd have liked was some attempt at an explanation for their obvious inconsistencies. I hate when people don't even think it's worth trying to cover their ass. How can my prescription not have been filled and then me not have been prescribed the medication? While he was telling me they didn't carry it, I could see it on the shelf. I had to tell them what the generic name was.
I'd never seen any of these people before, and I'm there at least once a week.
The manager looked over it for three minutes and said I was okay. Waste of her time and mine.
So! I will not have a headache in the next ten minutes for the next hour. Good to know.
The fact that a pharmacy tech doesn't know the name of a generic for a given drug is Bigtime Fucked Up. I hope he was a tech, anyway, and not the pharmacist. Jesus.
My mom's been through so much of that with her amount of pain and other meds over the years, and they've actually followed their pharmacist from store to store because she knows the deal.
Yay for no headache, though.
DH has been trying to get a new website for his employer approved. The 61 year old woman in charge of the current website asked what's wrong with it--besides the fact that it isn't "hip." And she used air quotes.
Well, any Irish stepdancing looks like Flatley, right? He tinged it.
I have vague recollections of Barrowman talking about doing Scottish dancing competitions growing up. Or that could just be a dream.

Heh. I saw today that the oldest known Twitter used, who was 104, died today. Actually maybe that was here.
He just thinks that a company taking in $4 billion in premium should have a better website than this.
The upside to this project is that DH is suddenly taking a LOT of interest in the net and asking lots of good questions. He's reading books on HTML, Perl, etc. and learning about servers, etc.

I did see that in my twitter stream. I wonder how old the youngest is.

I think some people who are not born yet are on Twitter.
