Pros: The store brand is great. I can tell at a glance if something is appropriate to buy. They have a *lot* of gluten-free and vegan items. This is where most of my grocery money goes despite the less-than-ideal location.
Cons: At mine, the produce section is designed horribly both for finding/comparing items and for flow of shoppers, wasting my time and probably money. There's a loyalty program, but I don't really see any savings from it. Prices for curbside are higher than in-store, which is understandable, but not equally higher among items, and the GF bread products in particular can be marked up by two dollars an item. They stock a ton of SKUs, but especially in produce, that means items get depleted--they're out of something on my list almost every time.
With the length of those two lists, it sounds like I don't like them. But in fact, I've spent nearly $16k there in the past three years, giving me plenty of opportunities to see the flaws.

Still thinking of you all.

Flip side: Two siblings close in age sometimes do not get along well in childhood or feel connected in adulthood.
I would take lots of things into account sooner than trying to ensure a youngest had a playmate.

Temporarily is a little long for a cat name. Tempy for short, or ...?

How many people is she feeding?
Do you know if she has an Instant Pot, Crockpot, etc.? There may be things she could dump in there in the morning and keep hot until dinner.

My local McDonalds charges about $11 for a chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink.
I'd rather spend about the same and get from the nearest grocery store one microwavable Amy's Kitchen frozen vegetable lasagna ($7.29 each) per person and a package of Perdue diced chicken breast ($6.99 for 1.25 lbs.) that I could cook for the group while the lasagna is heating. Or especially in warmer weather, the chicken plus a bagged salad ($3 to $4 depending on type) plus brown Minute Rice ($2.89 for the 8-serving box).

I might need an intervention. Who else buys all the highschool math texts before their oldest has finished 7th grade? Me!
Your Honor, I'd like to enter into evidence these screenshots showing high school math texts for sale on multiple websites as of today. Since they are still available, my client clearly did not "buy all the high school math texts." We agree that no reasonable person would do that, if only for lack of warehouse space. She may have prudently obtained in advance a few items for household use for a child who is already in secondary school, but did so in a lawful manner and with appropriate restraint.

Has anyone used Derek Owens? For Pre-Algebra it says the text is optional, but we need the workbook and I can't find it. Is it something I buy, or a download that comes with tuition?
He gets them printed by Lulu. https://www.lulu.com/shop/derek-owens/prealgebra-semester-1-student-workbook/paperback/product-1e7zdmk4.html?q=derek+owens&page=1&pageSize=4
That said, I think you can also download while enrolled. The cost of printing it at home is likely to be higher.

We got an upright freezer! Now I have to make and freeze all the things.
This is going to be standardized testing week at our house, and then the following week is spring break with DH's parents. (They will come to visit us.) I should see if they want to go to the beach on the Thursday when they're here, weather permitting.

I enjoy this probably more than I should:
Femurs are clunky and quickly get heavy. For a delicate, feminine look, why not try metacarpals instead?

I'm going to find some sea shanties.
[to "The Wellerman"]
🎵 There once was a school--
twas run by me
with plenty of math and chemistry.
The calendar was full year-round,
but bookshelves soon were low.
Soon may the packages come
and bring us our history and some--
One day, when the youngest is done
he'll take these books and go. 🎵

Also, apparently I have an egg allergy (did an elimination diet in Nov/Dec, didn't complete the reintroduction stage because I was too tired of the lack of diversity and having to cook every.single.thing from scratch, but apparently no breakfast burritos for me anymore). Not mysteriously doubling over in pain multiple times a week is nice though.
Can you eat soy? Breakfast burritos at my house tonight will probably be made with tofu.

Baby is off to the lake with the scouty people.
Why, he wondered, did the scoutmaster require each scout to walk up to him with a life jacket on to show that it fits tonight before leaving, and then put all the life jackets in one big bag on the trailer?
I explained the sort of math problem of crossing the river with foxes, chickens, and corn. To get across the lake, each human needs to be in a canoe; each canoe needs exactly two humans and at least one paddle; each scout needs a life jacket that fits; no leader can be left alone with a scout who is not a household member. The scoutmaster does not want to be pondering this tomorrow beside the lake.
The weather for looks great for camping.

I choose wool for some of my socks and sweaters (and a secondhand coat) even though my diet is mostly plants. That's because...
- Beans and other plant foods are generally more sustainable than the animal equivalent; but alternatives to wool are typically petroleum products, which are problematic for their whole lifespan;
- If my clothing in cool weather isn't warm enough--and IME several layers of cotton can't be, in this damp climate--I tend to turn up the heat in our house, also a solution with negative consequences;
- I eat multiple times a day, so the impact of food choices adds up quickly, but I can and do wear the same socks/sweater/coat for years;
- Since I don't see any really great choices, I think the most ethical & sustainable thing I can do with regard to clothes and shoes is to limit the quantity I buy.
Does that mean I think wool production is ideal? Nope. I just don't have a better way to stay warm and dry. I wear my wool socks probably ~100 days a year.

Me: coffee (and sugar and plant milk for it)
DS: frozen desserts like sorbet
DH: candy/treats
We have to be strictly gf, and it's expensive, but I consider "splurges" voluntary.
Switching from animal products to more beans has helped me offset the price increases of the last few years (and has probably helped keep my weight steady in my 40s).

Good morning. The eclipse was not noteworthy here.
Our schedule calms down a bit at the end of the month. That will be nice.
