prairiewindmomma Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I am home from Costco. Somehow I bought 6 large boxes filled with food but did not come home with any bread, buns, or tortillas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Did you go for bread, buns and tortillas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, yes I did. Dd asked for toast and we were down to our last few pieces of bread. On a side note: we only had frozen chicken, an onion, half a bag of sketchy spinach, cereal, rice, and beans left in the house. After several days of rice, beans, and chicken, the kids were ready for other choices. Also: I have wheat, a wheat grinder, tortilla press, and the complete ability to make bread, buns, and tortillas but it's a bad arthritis day. Finally: I can't ask dh to swing by Costco on the way home because he tried to go pick up a pizza last week and the receipt checker lady was busy with a line of 12 carts trying to get out of Costco so he flashed his card as he walked in and totally got chewed out by the busy body receipt checker lady. His point: anyone can use the pharmacy without membership, and you have to use the membership card to buy groceries, so what is the freaking point of the greeter card checker anyway???? Also, it's the same lady we see 2-3x a week anyway, so it's not like they don't know him by now. I don't care if he's (semi-understandably irritated), I've now lost my emergency costco trip option while he is busy passively-aggressively ignoring Costco. Costco doesn't care, honey. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 That lady at Costco is a moron. It's not as though you can buy anything without the card. And why on earth do they have the same person checking cards on the way in as checking receipts on the way out? That is also dumb. At Sam's Club I wave my card vaguely in the checker's direction and he or she waves and say's "Thank you, ma'am." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm going to use JAG. Here are my thoughts on the Table of Contents: Unti 1: Nouns - I know what that is! Unit 2: Articles and Adjectives - An article is what's written in the newspaper and an adjective describes something. Example: Rachel is a *foolish* person if she thinks that's what an article is. Unit 3: Pronouns - Nouns that are paid. Unit 4: Prepositions - About, above, across, against... Unit 5: Subject and Verb - You just told me what a subject is but I don't remember. Verb = action word! :coolgleamA: Unit 6: Adverb - Advertising for verbs. Unit 7: Patterns 1 & 2 - Yay, math! Unit 8: Pattern 3 - Yay, more math! Unit 9: Linking Verbs and Patterns 4 & 5 - Now I'm confused. Unit 10: Helping Verbs - Good. I probably need this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 My new name: She who swims with snakes. :scared: I'm actually rather fond of snakes. I'm not afraid of them, and I've caught and removed rat snakes from the chicken house, and even caught and relocated a copperhead a few times. And I certainly appreciate that not every water snake is a cottonmouth, and I like them (although they are pugnacious). But you know, when I'm swimming, I'd rather they not be right around me while I'm swimming. And it's their creek and all, but seriously, it's a big hole of water; you don't have to hang out right where I'm at... Other than fending off snakes, it was a good day of creek school. (And now I'm starving for chocolate and candy corn and those nasty orange pumpkins.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrr I need one of those devices that alters your voice so I can sound stern on the phone. I'd like one, too. I have also decided that actors/performers who decide to read books for audio recordings should also have these so they don't thoroughly destroy their voices trying to do a different voice for each character. We are listening to a book on Audible in which the guy reading bugs me at times, partly because he's using some rather silly affectations and falsettos in an attempt to have a separate voice for each character. For one quite large character he needed a very deep voice, which he managed to pull off (barely), though it hurt my vocal cords to hear it. He also wasn't able to bellow at that deep of a voice. If he only had a voice modulator! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
