We have a seasonal jogging surge around here several times per year. I will occasionally murmur a 'great job' to a struggling passerby. Mostly, I show my respect for the effort by briskly getting out of the way.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I read this column in Newsweek last year and it was inspiring.

supermarkets are symbols of death.

I've had a few people comment on my grocery shopping cart contents in the past, usually by saying something like, "Don't you know that stuff isn't good for you? That's how you got the way you are!" Yes, this has happened more than once. I perfected the icy glare, but couldn't say anything to the second guy who told me that (the first time, I was too stunned) because he was an elderly man and I can't be rude to senior citizens, otherwise my dad would kill me.

Oh, an inside joke. Think of The Master's shouting "Mass Production!" and standing in front of 13 shelves with the same frakking product shoved into different packages. Everything's... too planned.
I die a little bit inside everytime I enter one. I know it's just me, though. Markets, however... markets are neat, if I'm up with being in a mass of people.

Well, planning leads to the store being consistently stocked, which makes it easier to actually shop for what one needs, instead of hoping it might be there this week.
But I am a creature of habit. I like to eat, which means I need to shop, and I like knowing that food will be there for me to exchange money for.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

ack! I'll have to shop at Trader Joe's for a while until I get this too apt description out of my head.

I got news for you: TJs' food is mass-produced as well. A lot (most?) of their products are other brands, repackaged through the wonder of mass production, with TJs' name slapped on.

Always Anti-fascist!
Snake chat freaks me out...phobia, don't ask. People have some damn nerve, looking in people's groceries.(people did this All the time when I was on foodstamps...a pack of marshmallows I bought once got baby-bump levels of scrutiny...NOT a fun moment. Right up there with having my whole Spanish class turn and look at me for "Pot smoking during pregnancy causes birth defects." actually.)

well, hell. I guess Franks is probably the same deal. My only other choice here in Garden Grove (besides Whole Foods) is Fresh & Easy which I know = Tesco. I do shop at the independant butcher whenever I can afford it. Their meatloaf is dreamy.
