I have to watch my entire carb intake, as I'm teetering towards diabetes, but I let myself have ½ a home-baked molasses ginger cookie tonight, figure I'll sleep through the glucose spike. Sigh.
Or.. we could boycott all corporations for a week and bring them all to their knees.. we would have to have a sense of it takes a village.. but we could do and break these oligarchs where they hurt most.. their wallets
I went with my hubby to see Moulin Rouge on broadway last night. It’s broadway week so buy one ticket get one free. Pure bliss for 5 hours and zero cell phones. Had pizza after. Tried to fight the doomscrolling after. 😢
Uncle "Chicory-Jones" will even slip you a fiver to get the king size if you're with me. Slip your children money for little treats, too, they deserve treats as well.
I grabbed a Lindt hazelnut chocolate bar. Had to go Swiss since we are still bitter about the whole attacking Canada thing. I know this is an understanding crowd if ever there was one though. Cheers!
I think that I'm no longer going to worry about my husband having too large a glass of bourbon every few day. And I'll no longer worry about have 2-3 glasses of red wine instead of 1-2. Besides, wine makes my piano playing much better. And, who the hell wants to live long anymore, anyway!
Hmmm. Do the people who are not drinking think that your piano playing is better, or only the people who are drinking? Either way, go have fun. As Freddie said, who wants to live forever?!?!
I only play the piano after a couple of glasses of red wine and generally only for my husband. He, of course, thinks I'm great and keeps trying to surreptitiously record me. Yes, these are the times that try women's souls and red wine it is!
I’m sure you are great, keep playing! My sister and I were jamming on guitars once and I did note to her that the more margaritas she had, the better her solos were!
yes, alcohol definitely relaxes our inhibitions and dulls our sense of fear. I think this Dump Era is going to result in a lot more alcoholism but perhaps better music!
I loved Twinkies as a child. We didn't always have money for them, so they were a treat when we got them. Just tonight I went to the market to grab a few things and I BOUGHT A PACKAGE OF TWINKIES! I ate them in the parking lot and savored every bite. You read my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did. I bought the little treat at the Chevrolet dealership. It's a huge truck and isn't so little. But, I felt if the world is coming to an end, I might as well.
Mine was guac and chips in my grocery order last week. I'm about to finish it off but it was a memory I'll cherish when I can't afford avocados later on.
On the way home from work I was thinking how glad I was for every single time I ate a yummy treat without a damn bit of guilt.
We should reserve our emotional angst for the serious shit, not a cookie.
We are buying nothing. Pantry living. Dry beans. The only thing that can stop this is to crash the economy. Dow futures cratered and he halted tariffs. The market is his Achilles Heel because that’s where all their wealth is. Time for war time rationing in defense of democracy. #stopthespend
I don’t eat gelatin, but a lot of sour gummy candy specifically is made without it. This was some garbage wad of sour strips and it was so good and no I did not need to reseal the bag! Lol
I had a knockoff shamrock shake at a local burger joint and it took me straight back to Mickey dees before I learned how horrifyingly fake and bad they are
I bought some expensive French pickles and they were delicious. I never buy pickles, but I thought since everything is getting more expensive I might as well get it while it’s affordable.
I ordered a couple of bags of the absolutely stunning Yemen Haraaz coffee we tried last week while it’s still on deep discount. Still more than I care to spend but there is no bigger treat at our house. Not to mention that coffee prices are on their way through the roof.
Fuck yeah, buy the treat, the shoes, the vibrator, the pretty thing, the alcohol, the weed, whatever you are comfortable spending on your own sanity time baby.
Just finished off the last of a pint of Ben and Jerry's American Dream, since that's the only american dream I'm probably ever gonna see now. BTW IT was FANTASTIC!!
I would consider moving to the 51st United States of Trump, but I can't skate or play hockey...sorry he/him is such a tyrant. Just keep watching the skies, I know those proxy drones are on their way...Trump and Netanyahu are in the same building today...
I bought two dairy milk chocolate bars and a pint of Ben and Jerry’s and the cashier was like “OMG, this looks amazing. Good choices!” It made me feel much better about my choices.
I cannot believe that we get so few Ben & Jerry’s flavours in Canada! People are saying it’s very unfair. If Canada became the 51st State, we’d have access to all the flavours. Really tremendous, if you think about it.
I bought this for the first time the other day. Holy moly. I can’t even describe how good it is. You can see that it says Ben & Jerry’s Topped. Well, I found out what that means. There is a plate of chocolate ganache with chocolate chips on the top of the ice cream. It breaks off in chunks. 1/2
Update: My neighborhood pizza place—which I’ve been going to for 30 years and last went to two weeks ago—appears to have suddenly gone out of business.
I think I’m gonna cry.
Checking in with the neighborhood peeps (corner store guy, apartment building manager, etc) it looks like this might be a temporary thing. So I’ll hold off crying.
I’ve discovered I’m a terrible stress eater. My breakfast the other day was Kraft Mac and Cheese, Coke and chocolate ice cream. That was breakfast. Breakfast!
Yeah, I try to play games.
Then I try to find people to play with and am reminded that people are terrible.
The gaming community is fuckin' gross.
Just a bunch of dumb Dude-Bros.
It would be nice to find some players that weren't absolute trash people.
But that's not that important now is it?

For dinner this eve.

Ftfy
Also of note is Tate’s cookie bark with salted dark chocolate
This must change.
Let's eat
If you spend the money, it can't be stolen.
But also a reminder, the strongest steel is forged in the hottest garbage fire. Keep at it kings and queens, eat the rich, fuck Elon and trump
Like…have I cracked?
That was my fascism salve today.
I'll be robbing a bank to pay for them later. 😉
I think I’m gonna cry.
I know it’s a tiny and meaningless thing in light of everything going on.
But I’m not sure I could handle it.
what vacation….
The Mad King is burning it all down.
Hopefully all the chemicals will act like rocket fuel for protesting.

I have two or three people on there but they don't play much, play different games, or use a PC.
Action RPGs and MMORPGs.
I haven't much luck in 20 something years.
