Well that looks pretty damn cool. Also thinking you could maybe work that into a gym teacher scenario. Did you buy a whistle?

an ice machine. For the countertop. It makes square ice because I didn’t want one with those bullet ice with the holes in them they melt too fast. It will be a long time to find one that makes little square ice.
I drink a lot of water and I cannot stand it to be anything but ice cold.

A haircut/lineup.

I’on’t like it but hair is like fingernails—it’ll grow back.

Yum, it all sounds good well except for the hair coloring.....

For thread compliance I bought cards, pizza, (our lunch) and a 6 pkg of coke in glass bottles.

I literally cackled out loud at that and skeered the wee ones just a bit. Soooo, I bought this tonight so maybe your gym scenario isn't so far off?

Oh, how I miss my hot tub. I lost mine to Hurricane Irma and haven't replaced it yet. Thankfully, it was covered by homeowner's insurance. I loved using it at all times of the year. I really hope you enjoy yours.

I bought a purple mini stapler with a built-in staple remover to go in my bedside table. Seems like I always need one there (well, I open my mail in bed at night).

I bought a small piece of furniture, a rolling cart with a surprising feature, decorative napkins, snacks, felt pads for furniture, a spice and dried veggie mix for omelets.

homoe · 05-14-2021, 08:27 AM

We did our big "stock-up" shopping for staples...can goods, soda, etc. etc.

More and more I'm noticing a trend that has me worried.

Items that are advertised at a certain "sale price" aren't scanning at that price at the checkout! This has happened at several chain groceries stores lately and more than just once or twice. Once you get home and notice the error, it's always a hassle to return, point out the error, etc etc. & then only to be told some lame excuse why it probably didn't scan in at the right price!

I'm not a big fan of using the self-checkout because I think it eliminates jobs for humans but I'm considering using them more and more. I can catch any error and nip it in the bud avoiding the hassle.

A plane ticket. (for me)

FireSignFemme · 05-17-2021, 03:28 PM

Not sure. Gave J a list, $$$, permission do the best she can. It's so hit and miss these days, rare anymore to get everything in just one trip. If all goes well –
-Best Foods Mayonnaise
-Morton's Salt
-Franz Keto Bread
-Franz Hot Dog Buns
-Hebrew National Hot Dogs
-Cucumbers
-Bag of Spinach Popeye's or equivalent
-2lb. Block Tillamook Cheddar Cheese
-Fresh Mushrooms
-Family Pack Boneless Chicken Breasts
-Small Tub Sour Cream
-Bag Ruffles Potato Chips economy/value/family whatever they're calling it HUGE ASS SIZE biggest available, or two to three of the smaller if it comes out a better value for my money and worse for my diet.

I gave her my cash on hand and just in case it's not enough, my credit card with the instructions – don't go crazy. Now nothing to do but kick back, sit and wait and see what happens.

Oh and P.S. A Wendy's Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich. I figure if she's going to lecture me about my bad choices I might as well just ask for all the unhealthy stuff this trip that way I only get lectured once.

Shoot, forgot to tell her add cheese. Don't want to try her patience/test my luck though. If worst comes to worst I've got string cheese. I'll just pull little strips off, tear them in half to fit the bun, but hopefully she'll remember on her own.

And SO true about getting everything in one trip or even at one store these days!

When I was a kid my parents did all their grocery shopping at the rather small A&P store in town. They had a wonderful meat department, produce, bakery, can goods, frozen foods, and everything else we needed!

For thread compliancy I have not bought a thing today, in fact I haven't even been out of the house for two days!

Orema · 05-18-2021, 01:13 AM

Was so frustrated with the lousy service I received the other day when I went in for a mani/pedi. She was excessively rude and did a lousy job. I walked out without allowing her to apply the polish to my toe nails or give me a mani. I let them know I was unhappy though I paid for the pedi because I didn’t want them to call the cops on me.

I also bought some red polish and a manicuring kit. It will do for now..

Had gone off red polish for awhile but am giving it another try.

PlatinumPearl · 05-18-2021, 06:14 AM

Gardening gloves and this....

Orema · 05-26-2021, 03:14 PM

A dipladenia plant for my deck.

Bèsame* · 05-26-2021, 07:21 PM

Super cute Betsy Johnson Dragonfly and flower drop earrings. I was looking for a pic and saw them listed at
a department store for $38.50. Why pay dept store prices when I can get them for $12 with my disc?? What can I say..fashionista..woo hoo

Happyfemme · 05-27-2021, 10:29 AM

I celebrated my birthday early! I got a cut, color and style at a new salon and I think I've found 'my' place. Love my stylist! She's the owner of the salon and all the other ladies are super nice too. I chatted with just about everyone that came into the salon while I was there, including a gentleman who is a seasonal customer of mine. Small world!

Next came a trip to HomeGoods. There I purchased a one of those garden creatures that are made from distressed metal parts. I don't have a garden but it's core is a bucket and who doesn't want a multi-colored metal cat bucket?!? I got a wind up hose in it's own container for the car so I can wash it on my work property and then put it back in the trunk, like it never happened. Gotta do something about all of this pollen! My car is blue but looks yellowish green due to the pollen coating. I got a GIANT freestanding scratching post for the cats since Loki's birthday is this month too and Gracie's is next month. It's gorgeous, as far as scratching posts go. Beautiful wooden base and it's easily over 2 feet tall. Happy birthday, babies! I also got a book, napkins, artichoke hearts and snacks.

Finally, I hit up Dave's Market. I got eggplant cutlets, Korean BBQ beef tips, chicken teriyaki pot stickers, whole wheat sesame noodles, several small containers of various grain salads and a chickpea and spinach salad as well.

I also paid a bunch of bills but that's no fun.
