Obviously not...



I've always felt life is too short to give a hairy rat's butt what complete
strangers think of me. They'll assume the worst ayway because they hate
themselves and like to spread the misery so who cares?

Indeed! As a child and younger teen my best friend had some real issues and
always felt like people were staring at her or didn't like her. She took
great pains to blend into the background. She had determined that the best
color to wear was a blue/gray. She mostly wore that color all time. If not
that then navy blue. I wound up doing most of the talking for her when it
came to strangers because she was too fearful to do it.

We parted ways when we were older teens. She wasn't bringing anything into
my life and I certainly didn't need to be living hers for her. Which is
what it felt like at times.

I was raised to be an individual. And that is what I've always tried to be.

I think I paid $2.48 for it. Daughter won't eat Velveeta but she will eat
the aerosol stuff on occasion. I don't think the two are the same. The
taste might be the same but the texture is not. Not that I am overly fond
of either because I'm not.

I live in the Seattle area,. Squealing the grocery store will result
in a LOT of stares. Screaming in a restaurant will also. If you and
your daughter really behave the way you say you do,. then no, your
behavior is not acceptable in public, even in Seattle.

People may not say anything to you, but the are thinking it.

Yes, there are a lot of other people who do what you mentioned, but
just because other people are doing strange and disrespectful things
in public, doesn't mean that it is acceptable. I see people yelling in
the grocery store, not washing their hands after using the bathroom,
rewarding their screaming kids with candy bars, etc. They may be doing
it, but it doesn't mean that most people consider it normal.

I grew up in Seattle, and we always called it pop. Then we moved to
Iowa, and everybody calls it soda. We are back in Seattle. A few
people around here call it soda, but most say pop.

When I went to Mexico, they called all pop - coke. That really puzzled
me.

I used to work in Everett - a nice place but stinky in the general
direction of the paper mills. Hopefully, your food store is not next to
a paper mill.

Squeeze cheeze is a great convenience, especially if you're pretty lazy
guy. I like how you don't have to refrigerate it and it's always ready
for action. As an added bonus, it seems to last forever. I got a can
stashed away somewhere that I bought months ago - one of these days I'll
probably stumble across it. I'm betting that it'll be fine. That dried
plug that's on the nozzle is super-funky though. Please don't eat that!

The squeeze pancake batter is surprisingly OK too. You can make yourself
a single pancake in the wee hours with hardly any fuss at all. It's
pretty expensive stuff but when you're eating that single pancake in the
middle of the night it might just seem to be all worthwhile. :-)

Portable coolers work great. I have an electric cooler as well since I
go to cat shows on a regular basis. I can take it there on Friday
during the setup with lunch food, snacks, and drinks for the whole
weekend. If I know I won't have power,. then I use several blue packs
and some regular ice. I have several items that I rotate through at
various shows that work well me. Several salads that I like, some
casseroles that I can heat up in a crock pot (depending on the show),
sandwich materials, etc.

I have one too, but...

The problem was we were not anywhere near the room all day and couldn't get
there even if we wanted to. Plus I didn't bring it because we had been
promised a fridge which we didn't get.

I did bring an insulated lunch bag. But I couldn't bring a cooler into the
ballroom. There simply wasn't enough room.

And there was no way we could have done a crockpot or anything like that.
We were in one of the ballrooms from early in the morning until late at
night.

That stink is long gone. I grew up in Edmonds and on a bad day we could
smell the stink at our house.

I don't know if the paper mills are closed or they just do things
differently. But there is no more stink. Still not a very nice city
though.

The food store is very close to Costco. We used to shop at that one until I
was approached by a guy in the parking lot. He was being very cocky and
asking for money so he could buy a new tire. Claimed he came down from
Pullman and needed to get back home. I didn't believe a word of it.
Daughter watched in horror as a woman gave him some money. Then he hopped
in some little car with a woman driving it and they drove out of the parking
lot, grinning.

The next day on the news there was a report of a purse thief in the same
parking lot. The thief was a middle aged woman.

We decided after that to go to the Woodinville Costco instead. We've not
had a problem there.

I didn't notice anything unsavory about Winco, but I will keep my guard up
while shopping there and particularly in the parking lot.

Yeah, that plug is awful. I did take a can of it to the dance convention.
Good thing because they did not give us the refrigerator I had requested. I
did bring some other shelf stable cheese. Foil wrapped. Daughter hates it
and I don't really like it. Husband ate some of it. We had the aerosol
cheese on a few potato chips for a snack with some protein in it.

I have seen that but we can't use it. I can only do gluten free, egg free
pancakes. They do not taste like real pancakes and the results vary. They
are not something I make very often at all.

Anyway... Daughter is already asking to go back to that store. That's good
because she hates shopping! But I do plan to go back next week if only to
stock up on soda.

I'd go with a small cooler then and plan ahead with the food. I do
that at outdoor dog or horse shows. No way to prepare food. So, I may
have a bagel and cream cheese, a piece of fruit, and a sandwich.
Another thing I like is BBQ pork. There is one brand already prepared
that I like. And sometimes I make my own in advance. Or I may just
have pieces of chicken that I grill on a george foreman grill. If I am
going to be limited on food selection, I try to do mostly protein.
That keeps my energy up and helps if I get behind on eating.
 
one of the things i appreciate about you julie, is that you are who you are
without apologising or pretending otherwise, even when i totally disagree
with your actions or decisions, i really do appreciate your openess, Lee

I did plan ahead with the food. I didn't plan to bring much that needed to
be refrigerated because I had a feeling we would not get the fridge. And I
was right. If I go again, I will for sure bring the plug in cooler and
probably a small one I can put ice in. But we will have no way of cooking
anything. We don't get back to the room till midnight and have to be in the
ballroom at 7.
