I feel lucky to not even really be familiar with acid reflux. I think I must have had some degree of it during some of my hangovers back in the day, but otherwise it just doesn't happen to me. I hypothesize that me being a weird milk drinker has had some protective effect.

I honestly don't know how people dealt with poo poo like that before modern medicine. It runs in my family and my mom's throat is literally scarred due to acid reflux. Luckily they came out with nexium poo poo a while back and I was able to get it prescribed. I guess that's why we used to die at like 40.

I had terrible acid for years and Zantac was amazing. So I kept it around for several years and would use it during bad attacks. Really loving bummed when I read about the cancer. Hooray!

Kombucha is terrible for real, bad indigestion. Oh, your stomach is full of foreign bacteria and strong acid? Better fill it with more of those!

Sudden Loud Noise posted:Went to church today to pick up the weekly necessities and there was a car backing up 2 dozen cars all the way to the inlet streets because they were insistent that they wanted a spot close to the entrance, and were willing to hold up all other traffic for 5 minutes while they waited for a car to pack up their purchases so they could get their spot. They were an able-bodied person (yeah, I hate watched them park and get out of their car to ensure that they were a bad person, and not me.) Hell is other people at Costco. Yeah, it is really agonizing to have to idle in a parking lot, and when the lot isn't full, the problem is often created by someone who can't be bothered to walk an extra 40 yards.

I enjoy kombucha and other kinds of fermented foods but the touted health benefits of fermented foods seem totally made up. The narrative about how the 'good' bacteria in the foods fights the 'bad' bacteria in your digestive system sounds like a children's bedtime story.

Sorry everyone, I didn't get a chance to go back to Costco for $50 jamon. I didn't realize my location has such a better deal on it than usual...I guess it didn't sell well here at all and they had to last ditch try and move stock... I'll head back today and see, maybe they kept the sale going...also doesn't bode well they'll have it all next year if it sold so poorly it was marked half off the usual price elsewhere?

It gets marked down to $50 here for the past few years and still shows back up at normal price the next year. I got one last year at $50 and thought it was pretty overrated tbh. Took it to several holiday parties and still ended up pitching about half of it, won't be buying again.

Rare Costco miss today Bought a new shower head because, well, I needed one. It's a Kohler where the sprays change with the push of a button instead of turning the head. Completely busted out of the box. It only sprays while you hold down the button, but it completely stops when you let go. I don't have the receipt anymore and I shredded the box when opening so I'm super annoyed I have to return it.

If you sign in on the website you can get a full order history of all your in store purchases. Can print out the invoice from there or just pull it up on your phone and they can do it that way.

The person at the return desk has your history right there, so no need to do anything just bring in the pile of scraps in a tote bag and hand it over. I did this with an old Netgear router when they (Netgear) pushed out an update that bricked my model, it was no problem. Also I'm officially the proud owner of the Costco credit card. I'm torn, though, because my current card is cash back automatically on each statement, and the Costco card is apparently a once a year physical check? The current card is one percent, though, so obviously the Costco one will be double or triple the amount.

This is true, but last time I did this the lady let me know she was very happy I had it ready to go and she didn't have to search through my order history. Probably not as big of a deal if you know it was on your last trip in, very different story when you are returning something from 6 months and 30+ trips ago.

I’ve had Costco returns people get lovely with me when I asked them to look up the receipt. They made up some policy about needing to have it after a certain date or something.

Encountered two upset Costco employees yesterday. The first one was someone apparently on lunch, who yelled at queueing food court customers “There are two lines, not one giant line.” One guy listened to him, stepping out and forming a new line, and the employee got in line behind him. The single food court employee at the counter proceeded to only help the “giant line”, leaving the yelling employee to fume and the customer to quip “Guess I got in the wrong line.” The other was a woman leaving one of the offices, on the verge of tears, telling whoever was inside that said person already had whatever they wanted, not her. Apparently per Nextdoor, it was slammed on January 2nd, so maybe emotions are running high.

Nothing beats scream crying in a walk-in. Went to church today on behalf of an elderly neighbor who broke her sacrum and can't leave her fourth floor walkup. Would not have gone this week besides but it was better than I thought it would be. Although she was very specific despite my fervent objections that she only wanted ONE rack of lamb. I bought it ($25.50, 1.7lb) and put it in her deli drawer. She couldn't find it because she couldn't believe it fit in her deli drawer and has to feed six tomorrow. Oops! (I'll go back tomorrow morning)

re: Omeprezole, I was concerned myself because I've been taking it daily for over a year now. I contacted my doctor about my concerns and they told me, "I mean.. I've been taking it daily for over 3 years and haven't had any problem. But if you're concerned we can schedule some tests to figure out what's going on." So I've gone and scheduled some lab tests for whenever. I've tried others. Tums loving sucks and is only good for it's portability. If you're experiencing heart burn in the evening, but are apprehensive towards Omeprezole, have some Mylanta on hand. I found that works the best and lasts quite a while. In other Church news, we got a new fridge from Costco that was bought during the Black Friday sales. It was something like $600 off if you spent over $2,000. The fridge was $1950, so I found some minifridge that fit the $50 difference. That particular LG deal also included a free second fridge. It's like a slightly larger dorm fridge i guess? like, a camper fridge. Anyways, the big new fridge came and we found 3 small dings on the freezer door. I think we're just gonna accept it because ordering and delivering a fridge is such a hassle.

I’m about to return a $2000 wall bed, I didn’t like a bunch of things about it including that they hid in the pictures that there’s a 1 foot gap behind your head where pillows and phones can fall into an abyss behind it, and that the built-in desk is shallow enough that it feels like airplane-class legroom. Any tips for the return? I assume my best bet is to just show up unannounced with all the wood panels wrapped up in commercial cling wrap. It still shows up in my orders in the webpage from a few years ago. Hopefully they’ll be cool about it if I make it as presentable as I can?

It's really not that hard to inform Costco that it came damaged but its a real big hassle to return and get a new one delivered and you'll have to see it constantly. I bet they give you a benjamin for your trouble. I wish I could do that for the 3 dings in my door from my toddler having a tantrum and banging on it with some hard toy.
