They were posing (set a timer to flex pose) so maybe I should’ve put it in the insignificant signals thread.

My gym has a rule against using electronics in the locker room. I admit I’ve sometimes checked to see if I got any time-sensitive messages, but i was really careful to hold it so that no one would think i might be taking photos.

I cannot remember without looking at my phone if it’s currently January or February .

Got a call from Target the other day. They wanted to let us know of a potential recall on Quaker granola bars that we purchased maybe the week before Christmas.

Dude, we already ate that food!

Not really. My daughter heard about the recall and tossed the offending items 2 weeks ago.

It’s nice to know that Target cares about us.

Kroger is always printing recall information on my receipts, and yeah, it’s usually for very perishable stuff that was purchased weeks ago, and wouldn’t even be edible now if we still had it (which we don’t!). Makes me laugh.

A significant % of the population here refers to this store as Krogers, which I always find annoying

Bahaha, I commented on that the other day when someone at work put “Kroger” into a Teams chat and I said I was impressed that they didn’t call it “Krogers” like everyone else does. It’s like Reeeeseeees Peeeeseeeees. Not a thing.

I bet they sometimes shop at Aldis. And buy their jewelry at Tiffanys.

I ate more junk today than I should’ve. I hope I see the same number on the scale tomorrow for the Weds weigh in as I did this morning, but I’m not holding my breath.

Kroger was mostly Krogers by me before they left the market. Now the one that people mistake the most here is calling Jewel Jewels.

My son plays on his middle school basketball team. He’s good, just not good enough to start.

Yesterday they played the cross-town middle school. They won by 30 points and he was the only 8th grader who didn’t get into the game. And zero 7th graders, too. There were two substitutions the whole game. He left 3 of the 5 starters in the whole time.

It just makes me sad and frustrated that my kid didn’t get to play in this rivalry game at all.

I was kinda hoping one of the starters would twist an ankle late int he game or something. Not b/c I wanted them hurt, but just so the coach MIGHT feel a little bad keeping the boy in there way too long.

Did I mention it was a 30-point blowout? And they play 6-minute quarters. No way they would lose that lead even if they played only the 7th graders.

The other team subbed their starters out early 4th quarter so the 2nd string kids got at least a quarter of meaningful basketball.

Disgracecful.

AND this is middle school. Coach should really figure out what lesson he’s teaching, and then figure out the one he should be teaching to this group of kids.
