This has become an even bigger problem in the last year or so...not just at off times. The Kroger where we used to live used different separate shopping carts for personal shoppers than regular shoppers. They were bigger and took up more aisle space. You'd think the personal shoppers would learn, since they shop at lot more than others, but they are equally oblivious to what's happening around them and leave the carts right in the middle of the aisle. I hate grocery shopping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted November 22, 2021 #38352 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Dani, on the not noticing front…my mother knew my dad pretty well. 😉 At 16 when I had a fender bender (no one explained to me that slamming on the brakes did not mean the car would instantly stop…) the car looked bad…. My mother said we’ll tell your dad after it’s been repaired. Evidently being presented with a bill was less distressing than seeing the mangled fender. I took eight inches off my waist length hair…and my husband did not notice… Yes, luckily, my brother must have been going through his “I want to be a fireman” phase! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate grocery shopping. Yes, these carts are huge and have 8-10 boxes each on them of individual orders. Makes me wonder if they are getting paid by the order. They are always in a hurry and don't care if they are blocking you off from the aisles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to get a print out from guest services of all our charges as it itemizes everything and it's it good indicator of how much you spend and to keep track of how much we drink. Is there a way to get that information? I went to the cruise planner for past cruises and there is not a tab. Do I just call? Can they get that information to me about a past cruise? Thanks for you help. You should be able to call and ask for them to email you. I am not sure how far back they can go with past cruises, never hurts to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you'll have turkey sandwiches the day after Thanksgiving. I love turkey sandwiches with lots of mayonnaise, on white bread (that's the only time I buy white bread..specifically for my turkey sandwich), with a cup of Egg Nog. Heavenly!! We're all traveling up to Connecticut for Thanksgiving at our oldest daughter's home.🦃 Are you driving or flying to CT? Safe Travels. I think I like leftover turkey sandwich better than turkey day! I love it on white bread with Hellmans mayo and some cranberry sauce that I make. Oh no, I forgot I have to get egg nog and rum. Off to the liquor store after work! thank you for the reminder. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted November 22, 2021 #38358 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I never been to a Piggly Wiggly store but I remember when I first heard of their name, back in the mid-1980's, when I was working my first corporate job for a consumer goods company. I worked closely with the Shipping & Distribution departments and would see their name all over various reports. My first thought was they were a butcher shop chain specializing in pork. LOL Anyways, the history geek in me wondered about the origins of their name. For those interested, you can read it here: https://www.pigglywiggly.com/about-us What I found interesting is they proclaim themselves to be one of the first self-serve grocery stores. Prior to that, customers would hand their shopping lists to grocery clerks who would then gather the products off the shelves. Sounds similar to today's "personal shoppers". Proving the old adage: What is old, is new again" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it on white bread with Hellmans mayo and some cranberry sauce that I make. I am with you on this except for the cranberry. Sharon has a traditional fluffy soft roll recipe her grandma would make. I use the larger leftover ones to make the turkey sandwich, Mayo and some onion or garlic salt. Sooo good. The last few years I have brined a turkey breast. It makes it so moist. I just thought, maybe I sould try Sous vide! 1 hour ago, Sunshine3601 said: Oh no, I forgot I have to get egg nog and rum.

Proving the old adage: What is old, is new again" While in college we had a Piggly Wiggly store within walking distance. The one thing I remember is they had this game machine. After you made a purchase they gave you a card to put in the machine to see if you won anything. One time before payday we had just enough to buy bread or milk. We bought some bread, took the game card to the machine and won $7.77! We then went back and got milk! Those were the days. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted November 22, 2021 #38366 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Today was the first day in over a week I was able to take it at my own pace. Grocery store. Pick up pumpkin rolls. Visit with my brother. I have been so busy coordinating a garage sale of all the remaining hoarder items for three days this past weekend. It was the mother in laws / uncles side by side 4,000 square foot duplex with 70 years of their memories. My DH is the only surviving relative. No will. And estate settled recently. Over all. I was surprised at some of the items that sold for great prices. Too think I almost threw some of it out but at the last minute said what the hell, maybe someone would buy it. The hot ticket items were my DH childhood toys. Most of them in almost perfect condition All the games had all their pieces. Metal cars/trucks, fire trucks, police cars, mini oil trucks, tanks, hot wheels in original cases. GI Joe tanks bunkers 5 buildings and other accessories $$$$ But some surprise items that went fast old playing cards Cigarette lighters Zippo and souvenir ones old store bags. Woolworth Isalys . Howard Johnson. I had them and more pinned on a wall as a gimmick and someone bought over half of them. And I just did it as a joke. oil lamps plain regular lamps CD player old 30, 35, and 8 mm movie projector old records from Bing Crosby. To Elvis. Car parts filters spark plugs ladders framed pictures beer steins What did not go? over 400 drinking glasses dishes pots/pans Dinner ware Christmas trees Christmas ornaments routor complete design kit big yard shredder. it is done!!!!! We are donating everything and anything left to A church group coming to take what they need to provide for families in need. The gently used blankets are going to animal welfare if the church does not want. Then a dumpster. There is nothing but debris left in house. Oh. It was a cold and windy weekend. My DH. Brought our movable fire pit to keep warm. He kept his “man” gloves that he could wear when lifting the grate so he would not get burnt. Well someone just took them and walked off with them. I am sure other items were pocketed, it is what it is. Finally the house goes on the market. And when we’re talking about out with the old and in with the new, our additional garage is well under way and will be done in about a week. What a long process. See pictures.

I usually don’t shave more than once a week. Sharon usually notices a day or two later. She says, oh you shaved! Then she softly rubs her cheek on mine and gives me a nice, soft kiss. 😊 Now tell me, why in the world would I shave more often? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always give 3 of our grandsons gift cards in their stockings where they can get food, drinks, etc. They loved the ones I gave them from WaWa. Two of our grandsons go there after school with their friends for snacks and drinks before heading to the Park. I'm not sure which I'll buy this year, since Starbucks just opened (another popular venue for the kids) in the parking lot next to WaWa.🤷♀️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightroom Mobile works pretty well just by clicking on the Auto button, especially in pulling up some of the shadows. I'll usually start there and if necessary, add some clarity or up the saturation on specific colors. The new masking feature is really good at selecting the sky or the main subject. If you select the sky, you can reduce the exposure of just the sky about 1/3 to 1/2 stop and it will really make the blue in the sky pop, like looking at it through a polarized lens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that they had some expensive stuff that would be worth a lot to sell. There were a few other things I was ready to throw in the trash. Luckily I had a appraiser come in and the stuff that I though wasn't worth anything ended up selling for a lot including a molded plastic Herman Miller rocker. 1 hour ago, h20skibum said: I do have Lightroom on my phone.

I used Lightroom from its start but when my old computer couldn’t handle the upgrades a couple years ago I dropped the subscription to Photoshop and Lightroom. I just downloaded the Lightroom app. It’s wanting me to sign in. I will see if my old sign in will work. If not I will probably delete it. The app that came with my phone works good for me. I have a Samsung but was trying to see if if the iPhone 12 Pro had adjustable iso and aperture like the Samsung which helps with night photos. I found an article that says it does not have it built in but you can by a pro setting through the Lightroom app. So maybe someone with both the iPhone and the app can check it out to see if it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
