Finally got my check in the bank, paid my rent, and I discovered (to my delight) that Peapod is delivering tomorrow, even though it's a holiday. Ordered my groceries this morning, and the driver will be here between 6:00 and 8:00 in the AM tomorrow morning with my goodies. It means I need to get up a little bit earlier, but it's worth it to be first on the delivery list. (The later you order, the longer it takes the man to get here. I used to order for delivery between 7:30 and 1:00, but once I didn't get anything until after 5:00 in the evening. No problems early!)
@AT20rt You have my sympathy. I had a friend whose mother died on her birthday in May two years ago and was buried the following day - the day after Mother's Day.
@Nimbus Independence day. I swear I'm in some alternate reality lately. Yesterday I said "seal" and they said "oh you mean a sea leopard" wtf. Sea leopard. I dunno wtf is going on.
American Independence Day on the Fourth of July every year. We think of July 4, 1776, as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation
Same as I do every day.. hating Trump and wondering why on earth such a dreadful thing came to be inflicted upon the people of America and the rest of the world
The last time we tried to watch fireworks at a casino it was so crowded and no parking spaces we left, went to find another spot to park and watch and none available. Went to a Walmart parking lot and watched for awhile. Forgot to bring mosquito spray and went home early. It’s crazy if you go to the park to watch the display, afterwards it takes over an hour to get through traffic and go home.
When any Chicago sports team (Bears, Bulls,Hawks, Cubs, White Sox) has a winning season and makes the playoffs, any wins bring out the guns. Same for Veterans Day and July 4th.
