Seen at Wegmans a day ago: nicely packaged, in see through plastic box, green beans in olive oil with seasoning (precooked, perhaps). $18 for the box. weight was 1.5 pounds, so $12 a pound for prepared green beans. o_O :oops:

I wish my car had an inline gas filter. Only filter I have is a mesh strainer INSIDE the gas tank. o_O :cry:

If the seafood was approachable, it was probably 'accessible' too, lol (another snobby word used in reviews).

One more angle on the topic : Age-old situation : you have to be ABLE to do the job. Most people, myself included, aren't able to be a 'good' accountant, engineer, or doctor, no matter how much training and 'go-getter' attitude. You really do need a certain kind of brain for those jobs, a...

I go to a Chinese restaurant that has an all u can eat senior lunch buffet for $11.70. Lots of tasty food to choose from. A good deal, in my opinion. All the staff is Chinese. All they do for the customers is seat them, then come around and remove used plates, and of course, keep the serving...

When I see this gouging going in 'boutique' businesses, I figure the clients are people who are willing to waste their money on it, for various reasons. Maybe to be 'cool' or 'hip'. Surely they know they are being overcharged, one would think. I checked AI, and the going price in my burg is $10...

I was stunned as I walked into a Lowes yesterday. They had a wheelbarrow out front. Plastic tub on a metal frame, 2 nice big plastic or rubber wheels. Sign said "LOW' price of $249 (or was it $349?). Excuse me? It ought to be $59 full price, marked down to $49 on sale. Unbelievable. Again, I...

A few years of pickleball has given me callouses. I now put vaseline on them and cover with a bandaid, now and then, before bed, just to soften them up, and maybe get them to go away. I stopped playing pickleball for now, too, but for different reason.

A local movie theater has gone cashless. Credit or debit only. Their website says you can buy a debit card from them with cash and use the debit card to pay for your movie. I suppose the theater itself sells you the debit card, but that doesn't make any sense. That means still accepting cash...

Eva Vlaardingerbroek (well spoken Dutch conservative who opposes Starmer's open borders policy) has recently been banned from entering the UK. Reason given : her presence in the UK is "not considered to be conducive to the public good".

Advertisers have been turning nouns into verbs for years, trying to be cute. :cautious: The latest advertisement annoyance is the word 'money', as in "Think of J. Smith Investment Corp when you money!" :sick:

That's called White Coat Syndrome. o_O I have it too. Last time at my wellness visit, my bp was normal, finally, but the nurse was nice and agreed to take my blood pressure a second time, this time on my right arm instead of my left. My bp was 10 points lower on my right arm ! (125 over 85...

If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em, lol. ?

Partner. Geez, just say boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, etc, I promise I won't act offended!

In a video I watched, she is up the street , in her car, having some sort of altercation with ICE already, hard to see what it is, even before she drives down to where she had the next incident, in which she was shot. Most of the videos do not show the previous incident. Would be good to know...
