i thought they only did that in sad places like michigan

they sell "gin" at grocery stores in ohio but it's like 20% abv

you should, i was skeptical at first but it really improved my life

i get paper bags, the kind with the handles. i use them for garbage bags

frankly i can't imagine t.sila grocery shopping to begin with

the internet makes me lol sometimes. i am a very informed shopper, dating back to my high school supermarket gig.

they do sell gin at safeway in CA

safeway in cali is called Vons iirc. it is a shitty store and i never go there. i buy my gin @ trader joe's - 18.99 for 750ml of tanq/bombay sapphire. my wife started drinking gin again so i go thru 1 1/2 bottles per week

Dang, I just bought 750 of tanq for 22.95 :(

at least you don't have to share yours with ms. silaviver.

i am very generous with my booze fyi

i miss californias policy of selling booze everywhere

it does spoil one

i am an informed shopper too

*high five*

i do 100% of the grocery shopping in my family. my kids always misbehave in supermarkets though, i don't see what the excitement factor is for them but they try my patience (which is admittedly pretty poor)

on the other hand, i hate shopping in drug stores and my wife loves them (stereotypical girlie thing?)

how old are your kids, revivalis.t?

i was SO bad in the grocery store when i was a kid. my brother was worse though. also we always made my mom buy us a donut.

we were never allowed to go inside, we had to wait in the car.

sometimes my brother would refuse to go inside so he waited in the car and my mom would say "you're gonna get stolen. good."

one time my brother released the hand brake and we were rolling down a hilly street towards another car all screaming with excitement but then a man we knew was going by and he saw what was happening so he opened the door and put on the brake.

sounds like something jergins would do

hahaha i wish there was a young girls' novel about estela and her brother's childhood hijinks that would later be made into a cute summer movie.

my kiddies are preschoolers, hence their disinclination to listen to me

i like the sound of these tiny little silavivers running amok.

i used to teach 3 and 4 year olds. the idea that they will listen to what an adult says, let alone DO what an adult says, is pretty lollable

i'm sure they'll become very good listeners once they become school-aged

actually when i worked w the lil ones for schooltime at the arts center, i found the 3-6 year olds were super well behaved. older than that you start having to restrain yourself from wanting to shake the little smug, satisfied grins off their faces.

when my nephew was three and in my charge he stole a packet of tic tacs and hid them in the tiny pocket of his tiny shorts, they fitted exactly, but i caught him because he rattled when we ran and when i said, wherever did those come from, he said, the fat boy at the shop gave them to me, and then our friend who was visiting from london turned glum and said, i was the fat boy at my parents' shop.

haha

i've never hated a person as much as i hated this little boy Yuya Mizukami (need to put him on the call a random person a cockfarmer thread. in 20 years he might find it). Age 3, biggest little shit i've ever met. he and i, we had a private english lesson, and it was a battle of the wills

just one lesson?

no, 24. once a week

that is a lot of lessons.

23 too many in this case.

the littlest cockfarmer

t. silaviver do you like cooking also? what about ironing?

wdyll mopping

are you a house-husband

do you know where i can get a house-husband

i am asking because i am on a campaign to stop people ironing. if enough people refuse to iron maybe they will stop producing clothes that require ironing because is there anything more useless and backward and frustrating than ironing

i'm not sure i follow your reasoning. will your house-husband wage this campaign for you? or will he do your ironing while you wage the campaign yourself? what will you do with him once you've put sunbeam out of business?

i kind of like ironing.

oh i meant xp
i don't really have a campaign i just hate ironing

i hate ironing and don't do it, unless i'm going to a wedding or job interview

i am sort of a house husband at the moment

cooking i'm sort of neutral on - when i feel relaxed and have lots of free time i enjoy it, but as a daily chore i hate it

we should reopen my "ask me a question thread" at this point

i am a neat freak and my wife takes full advantage of that

i like cooking very much
i am ok at cleaning though i can make a lot of clutter. i have a lot of cluttery interests. but being in a cluttery place makes me go kind of crazy so i don't let it get too bad. also cleaning some stuff is really cathartic! like bathtubs!

harbl when are you coming to visit?

i sense a trap

oh no, nothing like that! i just want to make sure everything's spic n' span for you. truly!

(does anyone have a large jar -- say about 5'9.75" tall -- and some plastic sheeting i can borrow?)

the harbl jar

someday maybe i will visit for just long enough to get my height marked in the doorframe

i was just thinking about that.

you are convicted of bastardy

this will go down on my permanent record

hey looks like a pretty good deal

friend of mine (whom lxy & jergins have met!) and i were discussing if there were any good places left in the world

i said well, this group of friends (tbf i used the word 'coterie'; i was drunk) i'm in is kinda obsessed with the faroes, but you have to learn faroese and i don't think just looming and bellowing 'ach!' are gonna cut it

now he seems vaguely worried that i've joined a cult

awww lol! i like them so much. that was fun, wasn't it? they should join our coterie/cult.

Hello,
I am Ms Rita, I would like to know you. I have important things to share with you on a very serious note.
