Agreed, though I usually just buy brands that I already have items from so I’m familiar with their sizing.

Richard Simmons, Dr Ruth, and Shelly Duvall make this death trifecta. That other goon didn’t qualify to be associated with the wholesomeness and entertainment those three good people brought to the world.
I love that they call it smokeless. Sure it is, as long as you never cook anything in it! All you need is a drop of grease or juice from your food to drip on the element and it smoked. Mine had an aluminum reflector/liner in the bottom that stained like a bitch. I stopped using it because it was too much of a headache to keep clean.
Where does newborn come into this? It says “youngest”, which sure I guess could be a newborn, but my youngest is 22 years old.
It’s been a while since I had my kids, but it took about a month for the paperwork to be processed for them to get birth certificates. They never mailed them to us, but we were told that after a month we should be able to go to the country clerk’s office to pick them up.
Aside from that, when signing up for benefits from an employer, in my previous experiences I had X number of days to get my paperwork in for finalization. Even if this were a newborn situation, there’s enough paperwork from the hospital to generally appease HR types till the real one is available.
The old Coke Zero was amazing! It tasted closer to regular Coke without the extra sweetness that sugared colas have (regular colas taste like pancake syrup to me.) I was disappointed a few years ago when they tweaked the flavor. I think they sweetened it a little more to bring it closer to Pepsi’s level of sweetness, which I don’t particularly care for. After a year of not tasting the old formula of Coke Zero, the new one is ok. So really it’s probably for the best since I drink less of it now lol (good goin Coke lol.)
Thank God the judicial system is perfect, free from prejudice, and never anything but unquestionably fair!
Cook county tried it in Illinois a few years back, and it really made no sense.
It didn’t apply to juices (even though juices are loaded with sugar) and it taxed sugar free sodas the same as their sugar sweetened versions. They charged 1 cent per ounce for the tax. It was repealed 4 months after initiating it.
This is actually closest to the best thing lol.
Our bodies are meant to move, not sit statically even with “perfect” posture. By fidgeting, slouching, sitting tall, leaning, and all kinds of variations we’re responding to feedback from our bodies. Keep listening and keep moving!
That room has a very specific odor that I can’t quite describe, but I trust you know it as well.
Depends on the pizza and how much I love myself at that moment.
Acceptable pizza and I’m not in the mood to care, eat it cold.
Quality pizza and I want to show some respect for the pizza and myself, it’s the above or air fryer, or at minimum a few minutes in the toaster oven.
But they heard the word once and it sounds sciency, so they keep repeating it.
I appreciate the wholesomeness of the Narnia reference against your username lol.
I’d love to hear the explanation for this one lol.
The nearest bakery is almost a 30 minute walk. To live closer I’d need to triple my income to afford a home.
Yes, I live far from the office (which is at a hospital) but I’m technically a work from home position because they give me a laptop and phone and I’m only required to come in every couple months. I work with hospice patients in their homes, so I have to drive to their houses with a trunk full of supplies that can’t be reasonably packed into a single bag for other types of alternative travel. Plus, living in a Chicago suburb means going to work in sub zero to single digit weather, sometimes severe storms, and life stressing heat. A car and travel is mandatory for my job.
It would be beautiful if I could access a bakery and be out in 5 minutes, but it’s not an option. So I live the apparent tragedy of less than ideal sandwiches lol .
So get up early, drive to the store, purchase a days worth of bread, drive home, drop it off, drive 45 minutes to an hour to work, work 8 hours, drive another 45-an hour home, and make sure to poll the family to see who wants bread for the next day because we’ll be out again and I don’t want to wake them up at 5:30 am to ask.
What a completely rational solution that doesn’t waste time or gas at all!!!
OR -hear me out- be ok with less than perfect bread.
Gonna have to think this one over.
I would rather have a sandwich with slightly sub par bread than wasting food and money because I have to keep throwing out 1/2 loaves because they molded before I ate them.
I also did that for years, with 5 people in the house we went through softened butter fast.
Then as kids grew up and moved out, I realized it was taking WAY longer to go through. I gave up and leave it in the fridge now. Then again, going through it much slower means that I’m buying much nicer quality butter 😁.
Good (fresh) bread only lasts a day or two around my house, because it’s amazing and delicious and everyone just eats it.
Average commercial everyday bread is going to sit around longer because it’s waiting on someone to feel like making a sandwich, or feel like having toast. It’s basically a pantry staple hanging out, waiting to get used. The fridge is fine for that.
EDIT I see your edit - I think culture/lifestyle is also playing a fair part here as well. I’ve spent most of my life living in a rural area where nothing is walkable, so trips to the grocery store were once a week. If I lived in a place I could just walk down the street to a bakery and grab a fresh loaf, that would be different. But just because I don’t live in a walkable place doesn’t mean I’ve never had good bread.
Aka abbreviated “charisma.”
“The only “people” moving to Texas are tax mules and corpo scumbags”
Or in my brother’s case, following an ex wife who decided to marry someone from Texas and move there with the kids. Sometimes moving is cheaper and less complicated than legal battles with a parent you still have to work with for another 10 years.
The clock is ticking though. As soon as the youngest graduates high school they’re getting the hell out of there.
