You can get decent food at a dollar store, but you have to be selective. I wouldn't eat a LittleDebbie if it was free. I'm pretty sure they're the absolute bottom of the barrel for snack cakes.
 
I have a cold, it pisses me off.

Also, Dollar Tree used to carry "Golden Krust Spicy Beef Jamaican Patties" not sure if they still have them, but OMG THEY ARE FRIGGIN DELICIOUS!
I more or less stopped eating most of the super processed food to try to better control my weight, so I gave them up.
 
Damn, you guys don't have Aldi in Canada. That's a shame.

The constant rain is pissing me off. It's hard to get any outside work done when it's raining every other day.
 
Wait, this whole thing of Mayne not getting the help he needs kinda reminds me of Trident not taking anyone's advice, and now he's some kind of exec or something making over 100k.

Maybe Mayne is going to eventually be a doctor. 😛 Probably prescribe weed to all his patients.
 
Traffic. Central NJ is so overdeveloped that even in the middle of the day it can take me 15 minutes just to get across town. And because of the huge volume of traffic, there are traffic lights everywhere. So even if the roads are clear it takes a long time to get anywhere. Drive a few blocks, maybe a quarter mile, then wait at a light. Rinse, repeat.

Pretty soon they'll probably have to put one in at the end of my street. The connecting road had to be widened to 4 lanes years ago. If I try to go anywhere during rush hour, I can be sitting at the intersection for a couple of minutes just trying to make a left turn.

It's so bad in some places that you have queue up just to get out of a parking lot. Praise Satan that I don't have to do a lot of driving or you'd probably see me on the news in the context of some road rage incident - like the guy I read about a couple days ago who was arrested for attacking someone with sword during a parking space dispute.

Oh, and don't get me started on parking. The nearest town/city has multiple high rise parking decks and even those can fill up on a weekend night. Finding a spot on the street is like finding a winning lottery ticket.
 
@Charmonium Why are you living in that shithole? Sounds like hell.


Also I'm getting tired of all the people coming to Texas from other states. They are ruining my hometown! Use to be such a quiet little town. Now traffic is getting worse and home prices have almost doubled in the last 10 years.

Wait 'till Amazon plops down an "HQ" there. 😛
 
Another shit week of snow and cold. Then warms up 🙂

I ate a banana a few hours ago..i feel a million times better for some reason.

Aside from the traffic though, I sort of like it here. I spent my early childhood down south and I really hate hot weather. But besides that, I've lived here most of my life and have a pretty comfortable life. My friends are here. And there a lot of advantages to being in a semi-metropolitan area.

I've thought about moving though. There's just no place else I'd really be psyched to live except maybe southern England.
 
You know what grinds my gears?

-They called W 'double-U' instead of 'double-V'
-Someone went with 'Kegels' instead of 'Puss-ups'
-Citrus fruit should all be named for color. Orange= orange. Lemon=Yellow. Lime=Green. Grapefruit=screw grapefruit
-Extra characters in common names. Up yours Davihd.

We should have gone with Ƿ instead of uu or W.

When people don't use possessive pronouns with gerunds. "I appreciate your returning my book" not " . . . you returning . . ." OK, this doesn't really bother me because I have a secret. I proof edit everything people say or write in my head. So by the time I'm consciously aware of what you've written, it's already perfect.

When people don't enunciate. Ax instead of ask. I understand if you're tired, drunk, on new meds, etc. But unless you have a speech impediment, try to make the effort the rest of the time.

When people get to the front of the check out line and they act like they've just been teleported there and have no idea what to do. If you really have to use a check to pay for your 6 items, that's fine. Have your checkbook, ID and pen ready. I don't need to see the contents of your purse as you pull shit out trying find everything.

When the driver in front of me needs to make a turn and seems to be waiting for the road to be a deserted wasteland from horizon to horizon before he'll move. Maybe that SUV your driving happens to a pig when it comes to acceleration. But if you can do 0-60 in under a half hour, you're gonna make it. You've got to believe in yourself.
