PSA I shouldn't have to make: If you see someone whose grocery cart outweighs her, and she is having great and obvious difficulty wrestling the cart into submission, do not stand there and gape like a yokel. HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY THIS? She is not performing physical comedy for your entertainment. She is attempting to get her groceries to her car. Either help her, morons, or go about your business.

Honestly.

I was wondering why it is that we always need water softener salt when I go to the store alone, and it hit me that I do the vast majority of our grocery shopping alone these days. It was not always this way. In Concord, markgritter often went with me, and so did timprov. In Hayward, mostly just timprov. Now just me. If we move again, apparently nobody will do our grocery shopping. Hmmm. While it has its disadvantages....

Anyway, I picked up another printer, and I will be installing it in a bit. First I'm going to roast a couple of red peppers for tonight's quesadillas and call to see if I can get a massage and finish reading Checkmate. It's amazing how much the weight of six long books piles on one ending. I almost didn't want the clerk to check out my stuff at Target so I could read just a leeeeettle bit more.

Anybody know of a charity that takes damaged computer parts and redoes them for worthy groups?

Corollary to your PSA: if you are standing in a parking lot shooting the breeze with your buddy and see someone wrangling a microwave that is clearly too big for her into a car whose trunk lid keeps crashing down on her, please either walk away or come and help, instead of deliberately turning your back so you can pretend you didn't see her.

Get your groceries delivered. They give you dry ice.

This is a reason no one has seen fit to share with me before. They all mumble things about time and money and not about Fun With Physics.

We have highly enjoyed playing with ours, pouring water on it and watching it foam and mist. Reverend Selena also finds this fascinating, so it's fun for the whole family.

However, I'm sure Our Delightful Physics Goddess could provide many more sophisticated forms of dry ice entertainment. Do share.

Actually, my dad the chemist is the one to ask. We skipped straight on to liquid nitrogen most times.

Mmmmmmmm, LN ice cream....

Sure. But it's in North Carolina.

Yeah, we know one in Oakland, CA, too. :)

Well then, pack an extra large suitcase for your next business trip! :)

Put it up on Freecycle, someone might want it.

If we don't find a charity, I will. I'm certainly not going to throw it away.

yes, today my mother had to get off the phone because my brother's girlfriend--the one who weighs less than the rottie--had just come into the house carrying a bag of dogfood that made up a significant percent of her weight. Because my brother was at his house, kicked back and yadda yadda. Worthless boy!
