Supped on soup and assorted salad-like veggies. I got the dishes done and the dishwasher has just finished running. I’m about to assume the chill position on my recliner. I kept thinking today’s Thursday. Dammit. 😛 ---

You wanna know about availability for stuff. Twentz here and my irk there are 4 total major grocery stores. A few mom and pops Cuban stores. The majors are two WD’s an hour apart. There are two Publixes all 30 miles from my home. No Wallmart, Kroger or various grocers. Location,location,location. ---

> [@missred](#): > > **doggio** , Kroger is the one store that I missed when I lived in an area without one. Around here, most of the Food Lions have closed and Asian or Latino markets taken their place. Albertson’s and Harris-Teeter have left the building to meet most of the Piggly Wigglys and BiLos. In my town, there is a Kroger, two Publix, a Food Lion (yes, one of the few remaining), FoodTown, three Latino supermarkets, an Asian supermarkets and a whole bunch of bodegas and small Asian markets, Tar-jay and Wally World. I don’t think I’ll starve. 😛 > > We were fed pizza at irk today as a result of 100% participation of an employee survey. Of course, we had an HR session to go with it, but hey, they actually got the meal from one of the better pizza joints here. We don’t have a Piggly Wiggly either. WTF. I remember back in the day when our PW was the only grocer in my neck of the woods and they gave S&H stamps. It really ingrained in us youngun’s the art of free stuff. BTW the merge did not irk. I think we should call dibs each week. I nominate **Swampy** since he is a man of liesure OR **FCGM \*\* OR Doggiooo. Or Sari. Can’t fount on Metal Mouse since he is traveling the world. Happy fun** Metal Mouse\*\*, be safe, and post every few days. ---

Can someone confirm these got merged? From my side it looks like they did around 6:15 PM, but I’m getting reports they still need to be merged. Please let me know. ---

It’s pricey, but I don’t like the Food Lion selection. ---

Happy Thorsday! Up too early thanks to my bladder. Once up I am up, but I can make time for a nap later. It’s still dark outside so I have no idea what the day will be. It’s supposed to be another rainy day, with a high around 80. I’m debating turning off the AC, it’s not going to be hot for the next few days but it’s probably going to be humid. I have to try to remember to make some important phone calls today. I hate making phone calls when I have to talk to people instead of systems. Other than that, nothing special on the agenda today. I have a load of towels to do, and a load of wash clothes. Separate loads since the towels are black and the wash cothes are white. I should get that started while my son is sleeping, but if I get up to do that then the dog will wake up and want outside, and the cat will come in to eat, which will wake the dog up all the way and instead of going back to bed he will get wired chasing the cat, and the cat will start his yowling, hissing, and spitting because the dog won’t leave him alone, then I’ll get pissed at both of them and yell at the cat for being too stupid to jump up on something where the dog can’t reach him, and yell at the dog for chewing on the cat and threaten to send him back to his biological mom, and get even more pissed because they will pause to look at me and then go right back to what they were doing. I’m enjoying the quiet too much to ruin it with laundry. The threads look merged to me. ---

Mornin’ all. Remember last week, when a friend I was planning on trying to meet up with visitin’ the old city showed up here instead? We went to a local attraction for a few hours before I headed off, then 10 minutes after I left, she bumped into another mutual friend who I knew through the same juggling club… I know England’s pretty small, but it’s not normally _that_ small. Had a nice few days, met up with people, saw a dentist, overspent a bit, and I’m getting pretty sick of the several hour drive there 'n back. Just off to check on the small buzzy things and the allotment. Looks like being a very sunny week! ---

\*\*Butters \*\*- your lack of certain retail establishments is the price of living in a tropical paradise! 😛 Happy Summer Solstice! Or winter solstice if you live in one of them upside-down continents. 😃 I think I’ll start my day by clearing assorted small tasks off my desk and taking a break from the big one. I arrived to a pile of drawings on my chair - that’s how far the overflow is going!! So that’s the big plan. Happy Thursday!! ---

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. Safe travels, **MetalMouse**. I’m sure the locals will point out the best places to see. After all, 50 million Chinese can’t be Wong. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 96 and mostly cloudy this afternoon accordin’ to TWPTB but only a twenty percent chance of rain. Weather be weird. The big item on the agenda is seein’ the doc at nine a.m. Cubed steak ‘n gravy, smashed N.O.T., green beans and left over veggies from last night shall make up sup this evenin’. **MetalMouse** have fun! Post if’n you can. I’d say we’ll use coasters but I don’t think you care one way or the other. 😃 **Nuts** welcome back! Glad you had a good time. Happy Official First Day of Summer or Fall dependin’ on where ya are! **Soapy and Loach** thanks for the merge. I’ll try to be less stooped in the future but no guarantees. Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, since I am to go about the public, I suppose I should purtify and don appropriate clothin’. Bother! Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

Irking from home today because I have to meet the farrier at 11-ish. Ariel needs a new pair of shoes! I’d rather work at my desk at irk though. I just don’t feel professional at home in my jammies with the cat. It’s raining and expected to rain all day. I packed up 2 shopping bags of books to donate to the local liberry. I’m purging what no longer serves me just in case I get the opportunity to move to Scotland… ---

Up early today. We’re watching my brother’s dog while his family is on vacation. His dog is used to his family being up at 5:30-6:00. In my family, I’m usually the first riser at 6:30. The dog was not having that. She was barking before 6. More irk today, maybe some browsing online for used cars if I need a mental break. ---

Well she talked to her Doc and she wanted her to take Xarelto. (A blood thinner). Today I called Costco and asked for a price. $481.92 for 30 tabs! :eek::mad: > She may have to go on Warfarin. It’s a nuisance, but affordable. _sigh_ > It’s so nice living in a civilized country. :dubious: > > \*Fred Meyers, Safeway, and Thriftway. Depending on your insurance and/or financial situation, the Xarelto manufacturer has [financial assistance](http://www.janssenprescriptionassistance.com/xarelto-cost-assistance). I have excellent insurance through my employer with manageable copays for otherwise crazy expensive drugs (Airman takes Humira and I take a new! improved! version of topamax), but thanks to the generosity of the manufacturers, we only pay five bucks for the Humira and nothing for mine, where my insurance has copays of thirty bucks for each. So it’s worth looking into. I survived an overnight camping trip at Boy Scout camp that involved radio, rain, boys, and a black rat snake that the ecology counselor caught and brought to the ecology shed. I’m sore from all the walking I had to do and from the sleep I didn’t get, but I had a great time and I got a lot of great ideas and resources to bring back to my own troop. Today’s agenda, since I don’t have a trip to prepare for, is sloth, followed by laziness, and if all goes well, getting together with a friend for ice cream to celebrate our mutual birthdays. (Hers was yesterday and mine is next Tuesday.) I do have to go to Sam’s Club for paper towels but that’s the most productive thing I have to do that doesn’t involve physical survival. ---
