OT 18: Anti-Social Distancing

Carbonated water not boiling water.

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

Damn, that stuff makes my stomach worse.

I am missing what is so funny about a potfiller and an avocado to pastel green fade pot.

I was amused.

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.

I rarely bag anything. Costco/BJs FTW. I’ll either carry everything in or we’ll grab the collapsible wagon and haul everything that way.

Beats me. I don't try to make sense of anything that happens in pregnancy I just try and roll with it and help

I’ll just go kill myself for being amused.

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.

I just grab 4-5 of them before I head out to the store and throw them in the car. Or if I'm walking I grab a couple. I don't see that as any sort of inconvenience. Could always just keep a bunch in your trunk.

I hate having to plan everything in advance. (or carry a dozen bags and only end up using two)

Thinking about and carrying less stuff is nice.

Somehow mine has never been above normal despite a terrible high salt+fat+cholesterol diet and being a very highly stressed person. All of my lab tests always come back normal.

I think genetics play a bigger role in this than we’ve been lead to believe. Even with all the junk food I eat in my cheat meals, running lots of that thickens my blood, and walking around well over a healthy/normal weight mine has only ever been slightly elevated.

You also have youth on your side.

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.

Nah 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.

Well, BP numbers then.

Aldi has some good, taco seasoning packets. We use them all the time.

Aldi rules. I went to Publix here in FL on Sunday and holy shit... no exaggeration, I'd say every item was an average of 2.5X the Aldi pricing.

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.

So I bring the bags

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.

We do the same. Both our cars always have several reusable bags in the trunk for grocery runs.

It's clearly your only option.

We just leave a few in each car it is zero inconvenience. I don't drive much now, I mostly walk/bike/don't go many places, but I do drive to the grocery store always, can't carry groceries on a bike. So I am always in my car which always has the bags.

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.

Oh I don't disagree that genetics is a very important component in all of this. Just saying that your situ may change as you become a . Hope it doesn't,
