UO because Thursday

[emmagk]

Anything?

[emmagk]

People that use regular mugs instead of travel mugs while driving are ridiculous. I will not feel sorry for them when they spill hot coffee all over themselves

"If you can't feed your baby, than don't have a baby" (Brought to you by a woman at my work who just really wanted number 3 but now six months pregnant complains daily about not having any $ to take care of this one, how broke she is etc.)
Eta: I just used the Michael Jackson quote because it always runs through my head when she is going on and on at work.

Well, according to the comments to the conservative anti-abortion article I read yesterday, if a woman doesn't want to risk an unwanted pregnancy "she needs to keep her legs closed." Cuz, you know, that's the solution since it's all the woman's fault... *eye roll*

I obviously think that's crap. I'm talking about a person who went out got pregnant on purpose because she just really wanted that third kid and is now crying about being unable to afford three kids.

I think telling a woman not to work, don't shop too much, and dress a certain way is very odd way to celebrate international women's day.

Also, we still use the shopping cart cover when we do our grocery shopping still. She will also sit in the big part of the cart and runs around too. I like the cover to kept her snacks contained. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Facebook yardsale groups are for selling and buying, not asking for handouts.

Gofund me and similar sites are not a good way to fund your already existing business. I think I said this before when our favorite pizza place was running one and then went out of business. Now a local Csa is trying to raise money to buy a van so they can transport more stuff to farmers markets. Congrats, your hobby turned into a somewhat successful business - now you're running a business so account for your expenses in your budget.

I get mildly ragey when i see people asking for free stuff on my local consignment group. Someone yesterday wanted a free crib!!

I agree with you on that. I know a few people who have done this.

That's what small business loans are for.

And on the topic of CSAs, while I get it in theory, paying $600 for 3 eggplants or whatever they decide to give you that week for 10 weeks is excessive.

My brother is one of them. 4 kids, no way to feed them and clothe them.

A UO among the people at every grocery store- I hate it when people take up one whole aisle at the store with their cart in the middle and they're either off somewhere else/too busy on the phone/or just flat out refuses to move when asked.

I agree with you on this. My husband's work has offered a service where the boxes are delivered to work but we only did it one year...while I like trying new things, we got wayyy too many radishes and brussels sprouts.

does it actually work out cheaper? I don't really get the need for the CSA thing if you have a farmers market close buy. I'd rather go there weekly and buy what i needed than be stuck with a million radishes.

For the ones by us, it breaks down to about $40-$50/week (they're usually about 15 weeks). I don't spend that much on vegetables weekly and it's really inconvenient because I'd have to go out of my way to pick them up.

Young boys with their Ears pierced, or in general men with their ears pierced. UO at the tournament this past weekend. I saw at least 2 boys that looked to be maybe 6-8 that had one ear pierced.

My parents buy me a "food box" they call it. It is up north where they live and it is only $15 and they give me a big box of fruit and veggies. I try new things and it is only once a month.

It works out to save me a lot on groceries (even if I did pay for it). I make meals according to what I get. I like it but would not like it every week. It takes time for me to go through the items I get already.

i didn't know this was still a thing. I thought that trend ended in the 90s

DST is unpopular with all of M14.

[Susan0utLoud]

Somebody help me.... will my kid get up earlier with DST? Or sleep later? I has the stupids.

I've never had an issue with DST before, i'm hoping that trend continues.

The people who want free stuff also always seem to be the people with no transportation, so when some kind soul offers to meet them to give them the thing, they can't and want the kind soul to go out of their way to deliver it.

Around here people are generally unaware of their surroundings, and often inconsiderate too. Navigating the grocery store is an exercise in extreme patience and forced smiles. Plus, no matter what day I go, nor what time, they are always stocking the shelves and the 15 year olds that do it are blocking half the aisles and chatting away, while someone has parked their cart blocking the rest of the aisle. Move people!

When we did this last time I had a kid that got up at 4:30 or some crazy shit because she sometimes gets up at 5:30 when sick or was she just doing it. In any event that was a first for her. Hoping we don't have a big deal

[comicSans]

We don't sleep that great here anyway, what's another hour?

I'm glad I'm not the only one wanting to scream MOVE. No matter the day, there's no slow time to go.

I thought it was later but then they go to bed later.
