It's for Lisa. The bubbles help curb nausea and other gastro issues for her.

It won't make carbonated water?
Troy was insinuating that pouring water into a vessel is how you "make water." He left out the carbonated part, which is the only reason I buy any sort of bottled water.

Oh fuck yeah collapsible wagon for the win. Attempting to bag anything at costco is just asking for a problem.
I mean, I have brought multiple cases of beer home from the distributor with our push cart. It's really not a big deal. Plus outdoor exercise is good.

I like plastic bags. Carrying a bunch of bags around everywhere is a PITA.
Thinking about and carrying less stuff is nice.

that thickens my blood, and walking around well over a healthy/normal weight mine has only ever been slightly elevated.
For now.

I do wonder though. Are the glass or the plastic pellegrino bottles "less worse" for the environment? One part of me says the glass ones because plastic is the devil and will just end up in fish and probably our bodies as a result. The other part of me thinks its fucking retarded to ship water in heavy ass glass bottles across the world.

Well,troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 4:33 pmNah I have generally ranged from feeling like crap to at best "meh" for 20+ years now despite the tests all saying that I'm fine. I'd rather have the tests show a problem. Apparently it's all been in my head the whole time.![]()

Yeah forgetting them is annoying. I've made it halfway down the block and realized I didn't bring them. It's tempting for me to just say fuck it, but then I know I have to deal with the consequences of approximately 200 little shitty bags each with the equivalent of one box of pasta and a tub of hummus, double bagged because the cashiers are half awake, digging into my fingers as I attempt to carry as many as possible from my trunk into my house, where one will inevitably fall apart and spill its contents of tortilla chips (now crushed) and peanuts all over the sidewalk.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:18 pmI hate having to plan everything in advance.

So I bring the bags

We do the same. Both our cars always have several reusable bags in the trunk for grocery runs.D Griff wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:07 pmJohnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:01 pm
I bring bags with me every grocery run. The plastic store bags, in addition to being landfill adders, fucking suck to actually use. I can walk back from the store with a cart load of stuff packed into 4 reusables and not worry about one breaking from a sharp bag of chips.
Terrible for the planet and terrible to have 15 breakable bags when you could have two that won't break. This was particularly relevant at our apartment.

I got paid an $11k commission check last Friday. Somehow that is only like $5K take home... but still. I didn't earn any commission, so I need to reach out to HR and be like... y'all fucked up. They did the same shit last month. I am so sick of being part of five companies "merging" (acquiring). It makes everything such a huge fucking pain in the ass. I now "owe" the company like $14K but half of that is in my 401K and taxes... so

I still think genetics is bigger. Buddy of mine that’s just a few years older has always had hypertension and has been on blood thinners for a good 10 years now. He’s even more active than I am, eats healthy 95% of the time, and uses way less gear than I do. He’s just on a TRT dose from his doctor.wap wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 5:19 pmYou also have youth on your side.SAWCE wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 4:25 pm
