In predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods its pretty cheap. I prefer the south Austin stores cause they are cheaper and have more Mexican products. Although everyone should carry Pan Dulce.

Estranged parents' forums are probably of interest to no one but me, so I avoid posting things from them here, but this is . . . not really stupid, but sad. Like once when I worked at a law office and got a call from a woman who needed a lawyer because she said her ex-husband was using the television to watch her at home. Post 1: quote:During a brief stay with one aunt, she stole medication, a medical record file, mail, and wrongfully accessed my computer. After I refused her access to prescription drugs, she became nasty. Her child mind didn’t realize her gossip would find its way back to me. The file she based her gossip, were medical records containing errors and were pending amendment. Post 2: quote:* The neighbors used amplification devices for eavesdropping. The landlord who sanctioned the intrusive behavior was in communication with my son and his aunt. They added 1 + 1 and got a sum of 5. All behind my back of course. Yes, it all got back to me. I enjoyed contentment knowing they were all idiots duped by another drug addicted sibling. Now their crimes effect my son.

Would it be better if one of the bags of grapes was a bag of ~6 apples? Or if the pineapple+nuts were instead 2 bell peppers? Pick any $30 in produce you like, it's not going to change the reality of the problem, which is that poor people end up fat more often because the cheap easy food is poo poo nutritionally and combined with the dearth of food/cooking education in the country, there's very little if any way for them to learn how to cut an onion, how to fry an egg, etc. and telling someone "spend this money you need to maximize on ingredients along with time you probably don't have to maybe cook a thing that will be good for you assuming you don't gently caress it up and assuming you can get the ingredients and use them before they spoil" is painfully antithetical to actually solving the problem of getting the impoverished to cook & eat better. Not empty quoting

Solar Tornado posted:I laughed at the wordplay there. Am I a chud? In fairness, it at least tries to be a joke by having a setup and punchlines. Puts it in the top 5% of right wing humor from that alone. I can almost guarantee its recycled from something older though, with the kneeling bit being added on. It’s similar to an old hockey joke I remember, which makes sense as hockey at least uses periods which football doesn’t. EL BROMANCE has a new favorite as of 23:49 on Aug 7, 2018 |

I can buy a bag of potatoes, for example. Go right down to costco and start digging through their huge box of potatoes. Half the bags there will already be rotting, any clean ones I buy will be rotting before the week is out. This is a huge problem with any produce I get in this state. Any fruit or vegetables? Well good loving luck planning ahead because everything has a depressingly short shelf life here and competition to get poo poo from a store that isn't already fuzzy is pretty stiff. I just don't have the time to stop in at the grocery store every day or two to pick up poo poo to cook the next day or two, and if I try to plan ahead and buy ingredients for a week's worth of meals by the time that day rolls a round I have to carve the mold out.

To whomever Peed on My Wife... ...you whipped your dick out on the eastern side of Columbus, on the sidewalk just before the stairs leading down to the south stage at about 8:15pm on this breezy Saturday, just as people who were getting onto place to enjoy the Weeknd (who has never peed on anyone, as far as I know) was about to go on. Your urine splashed on my wife's calves and ran down the back of her heels. (She says this is an exagerration...but even if it was exactly true, I'm pretty sure you don't care.) First of all, she's fine. Thank you for your concern. She was grossed out, but handled it like a big girl, probably because she is a grown woman. Later, she joked about having to watch young girls get felt up as being slightly more troubling. I told her that we should make out in front of them just to even the score. Now I realize that I was wrong. You should have to watch us--a middle aged "wtf are these two doing here?"-type couple make out. Since I know you are eager to repent for your sins, just let us know where you are staying so we can get the punishilment that we've agreed on over and done with. Second, I want you to know that if my wife hadn't been so quick to forgive and forget, I would have followed you and found the police, so you could explain to them why you did that. You disgusted a lot of people, and you were about 20 feet away from the urinals while you did so. Next time, have the decency to piss your pants, like a real man. Lastly, please learn how to handle your poo poo. I don't care how much you drank or how hosed up you were on whatever substances. You need to learn how to be responsible because what you did was not the responsible thing. As a guy, you have a huge advantage in when and where to relieve yourself...and you squandered it by using the sidewalk, and my wife, as your urinal. I've never seen a girl do that...and they are at a disadvantage when it comes to going number one, as well as often having to wait much longer than you and I do to do so, which makes it even more inconvenient. When it's an absolute emegency, many of them turn into pee ninjas, finding the most discrete areas in a very public place to solve this problem. Maybe you should learn how to be less of a disgusting human being so one of them will feel safe enough to teach you how to go somewhere discreet and private when a pee emergency strikes.
