Hil has arthritis and would probably have some useful info.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Finally caught up on The Good Wife. Oof.

Stopped by Staples and realized that I could probably buy a new printer for only twice the cost of the inkjet cartridges. I'll at least have to put off the purchase until I remember to bring the old recyclable cartridges back with me.
Then I made the mistake of going into the Christmas Tree Shoppe (which is a local chain not specifically about a holiday theme, but a brighter, cheerier odd lots store). Came aware with some plant bulbs I wasn't planning on buying....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
THE BEST STORE EVER. Do they have patio furniture out now?
Oh, you guys, the funniest thing happened this week: I was chatting with our staff liaison/guide person, about where we're from and whatever, and he asked when I graduated from high school. He's probably 23, so you know, that's a normal question if maybe he has a friend from here. I was like, "Brace yourself," and told him. I swear to god, he almost passed out. He was like, "So you remember when Nirvana came out?? You actually remember being in the 80s?!?!? Do you look a lot younger than your friends???" Poor noodle.

Because books.
Christmas Tree Shoppe can be dangerous.

Heh.

Do you look a lot younger than your friends???
You should have told him, "No. We walk among you unnoticed. Silently judging your flannel and remix choices."

I only know Christmas Tree Shoppe from occasionally filling their orders. I was picturing a Santa's Workshop kind of place.

Jesse, yes, all kinds of patio furnishings, plus all the lawn ornaments you'll ever need.
I also had a conversation with a cashier there about Tastykakes, and the difference between junk food that is awful, and junk food that doesn't have nasty preservatives or anything that you can't pronounce in it.

Oh, and a whole section devoted to Easter stuff. Lindt milk chocolate rabbits for $2.99 was the best deal I saw.

Aww. I was having this convo with a friend of mine last night, about what age range to put on dating sites. Because we (a) don't want to be that weirdo old person perving on young folks who are like 'ew', but we also feel like most people our age on the dating sites look WAY older. And (b) we don't know how high to make the age, because, people look old, but then we know some people who are totally cool and sexy, who are much older.
