Grocery delivery – and paper thin margins for grocers.

I just don’t get how these things work. I’m talking about free grocery delivery. First, let me say this (since I wouldn’t want people to think I’m totally stupid), yes, I know, Amazon has big pockets and their most profitable division (AWS) is probably propping up the grocery delivery services. But, there is now, “Instacart”, and “Shipt“, as well as perhaps, many others. I’m assuming everyone is … [Read more...]

Quote of the decade

Quote of the decade: “I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” Mr Trump told Fox News. “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash.

New email address for me – JK

So, you know how FB informs you of your friends birthdays? Today, it told me that a former colleague will be celebrating his b-day in a couple of days. Being “curious”, I went to his FB “about” page to find out how old this gentleman is, and I found something which rang home with me, his email address is MacysGrandPa@whatever.com Over the last few yrs, he’s posted a number of pics of his … [Read more...]

Movie: Peacock

Watched a really different movie tonight, “Peacock”, staring Cillian Murphy (whom I find to be always seemingly play very bizarre characters), Ellen Page, Susan Sarandon, and Bill Pullman. It’s kinda mystery, psycho thriller. Not scary though. If you intend to watch it, don’t read up on it before watching - it’ll ruin one of the many plot twists. Less than ninety mins long. … [Read more...]

People behind me on the bus

I’m on the bus, riding home, directly behind me are two women, with a toddler and a baby, all of whom are making tons of noise. And, you know what?? I’m ok with it. Seven years ago, I would be having a cow, giving them the evil eye, quickly turning my head around, and just as quick turning it back to facing forward. I would be steaming, the steam would be coming out of my ears by the … [Read more...]

Tv Show “Better Things” – hilarious scene – “No!”

This is one of the most hilarious scenes I’ve ever seen. I laughed my head off all throughout it. I’m sorry to say, if you don’t know the context, you may not think it as funny as the people who’ve seen the beginning of the episode, and/or understand the context of their “friendship/relationship”, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuFulZY6Qz0&feature=share … [Read more...]
