NO!
No, it did arrive!
And I sent you a detailed PM about unpacking it, and how it staved off a petty row, and Mum & I bonded because it was like Katy and Clover Carr getting a Christmas box.

So I checked my sent PMs.
And it wasn't there.
I checked and checked and checked. It still wasn't there.

I'm so sorry Aliantha.
I'm going to go to the Christmas Gifts thread to acknowledge your package now.
I know you're not being shitty about it, I'm just sorry that you never even knew I'd got your lovely prizes.
The girls will back me up; I presented your home baking with a flourish. Well, what Mum and I agreed I could remove from the house anyway.

True dat!

When I read that post, I thought, hang on, I thought it had arrived...then thought maybe it was a different package.

The christmas tree biscuit was very tasty.

Imma let you post this, but Shawnee123 had the funniest posts EVAR.

Oh well i am just glad it arrived. :)

Did your mum like the dates?

What's irritating me today? The fact that I go into Marks & Spencer to do part of the weekly food shopping, head straight for the bread section and nearly buy a bottle of Chateau Something-or-other instead of two toast loaves.

Why are they always reorganising their shelves? It drives me to distraction. Still, they're not as bad as Tesco. I've been in there before now and left without finding half the stuff I wanted in similar circumstances.

Mutter, mutter....:mad2::mad2::mad2:


PS Does Walmart, Target and Albertson's do the same?

I ask only because on my last trip to the US, immediately upon arrival I headed straight for Albertson's (Brighton CO) for some Tylenol and they were in the same place as the previous year. I always arrive with a splitting headache but don't bring my own pills lest it cause difficulties with Customs, Immigration, TSA etc. I believe Tylenol is the same as Paracetamol but that name isn't well known in the US. Might be wrong.... has been known:o

In our area, Albertson's seems to have been bought out recently,
and the new managment knows exactly what you want/need.

They are moving to one size of one brand of one kind of food item
in one spot on one shelf in one section in one aisle of every store.

Fortunately, you can still choose whichever parking space you want.

Funny that you should mention parking. In Brighton the branch was just across the road from the Comfort Inn so I walked there, but I did notice that the car park wasn't exactly oversubscribed. I think that there were more kids on skateboards than cars, and bloody lethal they were too!

The eyes of Satan staring me down in my dreams is mildly irritating me today....

just remember they are only dreams.

My grocery store has rearranged twice in the 6.5 years we've lived here. Once just a little, moving some categories of food from one aisle to another, and once in a major way, re-orienting the actual aisles themselves.

Wow. Our supermarkets seem to exist in a state of perpetual reorganisation.

People in my neighborhood were seriously up in arms about even those changes. When they moved the aisles, they actually handed out maps, and had a dozen staff members just standing at all the major junctions to help you find the stuff you were used to buying.

Our local supermarket did this recently and i cant find a damn thing. I often go to a different one now because the original one just doesnt make sense anymore. Its very irritating.

Don't worry about that dream. Remember you are cloaked in the armor of God. Plus, I believe in your strength.

I got a bad haircut last night. So. Short.

I usually tell them... Kind of like a long flat top... Like Howie Long. Well she went way too high up with the #1 clipper, but it wasn't terrible... Yet. Then she asks what I will do with my beard. I said I would trim that later, just kind of blend it down. So she says, 'I can do that.'

I go, Ok.... And before I can stop her, she runs the same clipper right down the side of my face at the sideburn, and cuts off 2.5 months of beard growth. OFF. No blending. Just swoosh.

So then she finished the top, and I end up looking like a cop.

I had to go back to a goatee.
It looks OK.... But my face is cold now, and I'm going to need a hat in this weather.
