Im in a tight budget till Friday.
Two of the Dumpsters at my office blew all the way out into the street and the Red Eye and Trib machines across the street did too.

i'm gonna say it -- this "grass jelly" sounds pretty tasty to mehttp://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/michael-mcgill-old-oak-tap-grass-jelly/Content?oid=5045816

The flavor, he said, is similar to anise. "It takes a while to develop on your palate. When you first eat it, it tastes like absolutely nothing. Five, ten minutes later you start to feel a sensation. We were joking yesterday that it sort of tastes like bad sambuca with pennies in it."

This board is almost unusable without bookmarks.

only issue i'm having is not being able to turn off images
CTA was fucked up today but it was almost rehabilitated by the hilariously talkative train driver i had for most of my commute home.

My bookmarks works for this thread and a couple others, but definitely not all.

the Wish Anus bookmark never fails

no bookmark probs here afaict
― Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 04:12 (twelve years ago) link
I have no bookmark problems either, although when browsing on my phone, I have to "click to confirm" that I want to add a bookmark, at which point I am whisked back to SNA, whereas here, I just bookmark the thread and stay on the same page.

You know what is great? Grapefruit. Grapefruit is great.
― thejenny, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 13:19 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, it is! Jennifur, do you have grapefruit spoons? They are handy.
― Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 14:32 (twelve years ago) link
My memory was jogged by "grapefruit", for some reason, to remind me that I wanted to post about JUICE FASTERS in this thread. I'm certain we've talked about it before, maybe even on the sandbox? WTF, juice fasters? I have a friend who is evangelizing via fb for this and it's hard to read sometimes.

we live in an eating disordered societythat is all i have to say about it really

It's beyond eating, it's straight up science ignorance.

Jeff, I want you to share a database of debunking sources. You're my anti-woo guru.

A fitting response to claims of the Cult of Natural, I suppose.

omg irl at work LOLs

I do not have a grapefruit spoon. I just use a knife to free the sections and then eat them with a regular spoon. Not even a grapefruit knife, either. A steak knife! ~~rebel~~
ps juice fasts are super dumb.
― thejenny, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
I'm a big fan of grapefruit, too.

Only my bookmarks for this thread and the wish anus are working now. The others stopped working.

EZ hasn't registered here yet, but he just posted this on the FB ILX secret group http://www.wbez.org/blog/city-room-blog/2011-11-30/walmart-makes-inroads-chicagos-north-side-lakeview-store-opening-9444.

I'm not going to shop there, but they did a nice job reusing of that space.

"There are three transgender employees working here,"
When asked why the opening release said "Walmart Express Opens in Wrigleyville" and not Boystown or even Lakeview, Restivo stressed it was not any slight to the gay community, but that the broader public would be more easily able to associate the location because of Wrigley Field.

"This store is creating 45-50 new jobs" -- but how many will be lost at other stores around the neighborhood?
― Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
All of them.
― thejenny, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
That area was already lousy with food stores without this addition. The good people of Lakeview are assured their nutrition.
― Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
I think it's a stretch to call that Wrigleyville. It's generally considered Wrigleyville ends at Fremont.
