I want to go to Dublin AND Oslo for my 30th birthday, and I want to go to Dublin slightly more since I've never been there before, but Oslo is way less expensive.

I've started bringing my lunch to work every day and home-cooking dinner instead of visiting fast food places on the way home, and I keep failing to buy enough groceries to last the whole week.

I absolutely adore my little tree ghost Pokemon, but the game I'm playing is filled with poison/dark opponents, rendering her much more useless than she'd ordinarily be. Also, she didn't learn any draining moves until like level 52.

There's a deli around the corner from my job that sells individual Fage yogurt cups. The spoons that they give you at the bodega are ever-so-slightly too wide to get all the way into the fruit compartment, and our office breakroom has run out of spoons, so I was only able to eat about 80% of the fruit that came with my yogurt.

kreyla posted:Oh my gosh. I love Fage yogurt SO MUCH. Albertsons had a weeklong sale with Fage 10/$10, and every day now I have been having it with fresh strawberries. I actually look forward to getting up for breakfast. I have a ton of energy too from all the protein. Hnnnngh FAAAAAGE Which reminds me of another first-world problem I'm having: There is a 10/$10 Fage sale at my local grocery store, but the store only stocks the 2% kind, which makes vaguely plastic-like to me.

Dunkin Donuts updated their mobile site so that you can't scan a free beverage coupon from your phone if you use your phone's browser to pull it up. Dunkin Donuts also refuses to make a Windows Phone app, so now I have to print out my coupons in advance.  edit: loving Christ, I can't even print the coupon from the website anymore -- I have to print it from my email. What a total pain in the rear end. YeahTubaMike has a new favorite as of 17:10 on Apr 20, 2017 |

My work has free GOOD coffee (like, we have our own bean-grinder and everything), and free sugar, but no free milk. We do, however, have powdered creamer (  ), and those little individual creamer packets that are made entirely of hydrogenated vegetable oil & artificial flavors.

I ran out of toilet paper this morning. My options are "buy one single overpriced roll at the bodega on the way home" or "buy a couple of reasonably priced 12-packs at the grocery store & struggle dragging them home". My other options are "stop off at my apartment & bring my shopping cart to the grocery store to make getting two 12-packs of toilet paper home" and "get only one 12-pack of toilet paper", but I don't feel like doing either. Once I'm inside my apartment after work, I'm in for the night.

bradzilla posted:buying stuff from amazon is apparently bougie, uh ok I'm just not really ready to make the leap to buying groceries online. For one, I have a perfectly good grocery store very near to my apartment. Secondly, I love brick-and-mortar grocery shopping. As far as Amazon goes, I buy basically every non-grocery non-clothing item I can from them, although I also prefer clothes-shopping in person because I apparently have a non-Euclidean body.

I made a post recently on Twitter that was fine, but I fired it off in like 3 seconds and apparently all of Twitter is in love with it because my phone hasn't stopped buzzing with notifications in like two days. Whenever I make a tweet that I consider well-thought out, informative, and insightful/witty, it gets very moderate response, if anything. I need social media lessons or something.

ToxicSlurpee posted:I started feeling light headed and all the blood had me concerned so I called 911. I felt kind of like a dingus for that but I was seriously bleeding very, very badly. Parallel lives. I started feeling light-headed and since I've had two seizures in the recent past (December and January) under the same circumstances that I'm currently under (on my period), I called 911. The thing is, to alleviate cramps, I ate two slices of "cosmic" cinnamon toast with stronger butter than I've ever made before, so it turns out I was just freaking out, lol. I, too, felt like a butt for taking their time, but they were nice about it.

AU is ridiculous, and it seems like people either take it WAY too far or not nearly far enough. So as you were saying, you'll have stories where everything is so different it might as well just be an original story, but then you have stories that are like "3 years in the future"-AU or "takes place in England instead of Germany" and it's like, what even is the point?

I was nervous to buy a new phone for a day and a half despite writing like six different paycheck budgets that included weeks of groceries, laundry, and savings, and I still feel vaguely weird about having bought the new phone. My current phone isn't broken or anything, I just thought a new phone seemed cool. I'm not used to replacing things that aren't actively falling apart.

The batteries in my scale died. Also, my new phone's Wi-Fi symbol has lines in it, unlike my old phone's Wi-Fi symbol. I liked my old phone's symbol better, and I can't seem to change/update the new one's. Also also, I tried to play Dungeons of Dredmor on my laptop and it opened up so wide that I couldn't adjust the view, nor could I minimize the window, nor could I proceed into the game, so I had to restart my computer and I can't figure out how to get Dungeons of Dredmor -- a very fun game that I paid good money for -- to run properly.

Cowslips Warren posted:I nannied for two families a decade ago and helped raise four awesome kids, so I really don't want my own (I could never afford one anyway!) but part of me wonders if I should have had baby fever by now. Or, because I devoted my life to a few hundred animals, I just can't? Baby fever is not universal. Pregnancy & childrearing sound pretty awful, but they are definitely NOT obligatory. There's nothing wrong with you, as long as you're not one of those "childfree" weirdos posting about "crotch goblins" & "mombies" on Reddit. There needs to be a support group for women who don't want children, because there's so much pressure on us to have them and no one should be bringing babies into this world that they don't want.

I'm a 32-year old woman who likes heavy metal and video games. Nothing wrong with liking stuff.  Speaking of being a metalhead, I have a first world problem -- the Tır/Metsatöll/Heidevolk/Trollfest tour got canceled, as well as a bunch of other shows I had tickets for, so there's that. Another other first world problem though: working from home suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Yes I'm getting paid, yes I work a job that allows me to work from home, but it's starting to drive me insane.

People at the grocery store sometimes switch some of the mocha bottles in the Starbucks 4-packs with French vanilla, or just take bottles out of the pack, and it's super annoying having to inspect the 4-packs to make sure there aren't any French vanillas in there. My company gave us all home office stipends since we can't come into the office, and the only desk I could afford with mine ended up being poorly manufactured and wobbly.
