Here's a new randoms because it's been almost 6 months.
Remember - start new threads for important things.

Because I volunteer on an appointed town board, I was invited to a socially-distanced tour of our new grocery store this morning. It opens Friday. It is a regional favorite.
I begged my pod-neighbor to watch the kids, and luckily Wed is an asynchronous school day.
Guys. A brand new grocery store is a thing of beauty. The merchandising... everything fronted and straight, perfectly tidy. Full full full of every product. The stock rooms and cold rooms - full full full of backstock.
Plus I got a swag bag. LOVE IT.

Oregon can you grab me a pudding while you’re there? Jell-o vanilla, lemon, and pistachio are accidentally vegan. And I’ve been craving pudding since I’ve been sick and my throat hurts so bad.

Can anyone who frequents the GD board give me a quick understanding about what happened on the Ex's SO thread? I don't need details because it seems like things that shouldn't have been said the first time shouldn't be said again. But I still don't get what happened.

Kida was pissed at PO about something that was said in October. An AE came on and said vile, hurtful things to PO about her personal history that they could only know from being around here a lot. AE was banned. PO left. Nobody knows who the AE is. Kida went into victim mode for the next 300 pages. Yes, I spent too much time scrolling last night when MH had to work late. I usually don’t read threads like that. I’m ashamed of myself, truly.

Were the things said about PO in some (deleted) context or was just as out of the blue as it seemed in the thread? Did Kida leave too?

But it was a big waste of my time.

You’ll have to bury me with HIH. I’m too old and crotchety to move.

E was on zoom with friends.
One friend asks: "If you were a backpack, where would you be?"
Other friend: " On my back?!"

I also read most of it because I'm nosy but also really enjoy PO and was upset that she was targeted in such a gross way.

We are renovating our basement and we humored M by putting the quite large tv in her bedroom tonight. She's binging full house after 9 pm like a teenager.
2020, man. Do what you want.

I’m having a bit of an identity crisis. I applied and was accepted to some university programs that seem like a logical next step in my field, but I’m already burnt out where I am. Social services is fucking hard and I’m tired. I’m thinking about going in a different direction entirely.

You deserve to be happy.

You're a badass Dramaphile and I really enjoy it. Bwahaha I'm glad my impulse to knock down idiots and bigots has given you joy! I forget that my comments show up in my friends' feeds! Literally yesterday I was like, "Damn, I really spend too much time arguing with strangers on facebook"

Wanna know what one small portion of running a virtual scientific conference looks like? This is the calendar for just 1 of 4 different platforms we are operating.

Last night, we got dinner from a food truck that makes pickle sandwiches, like they scoop out the inside of a pickle and then put meat and cheese and veg inside. It sounded good in theory because we all love pickles, but it was a massive salt bomb, as were the loaded fried pickles. Salty pickle plus salty deli meat plus salty cheese. We couldn't even finish our not large sandwiches, and I feel like I have a hangover today from all the salt and have been sooo thirsty despite drinking enough water to pee every hour

I went to pick up groceries this morning on my way home from work. Grabbed a gingerbread house kit to put away for a later date. Silly me, the kids found it immediately and now we are hyped on sugar at 10AM.
