I'm finally back! It is 1121am 7/18 as I start this. Excuse me a moment.
THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST 2 FUCKING WEEKS OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN SO STRESSED OUT!!!!!!!! I AM NOT GOING INTO DETAIL, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A FEW WEEKS SINCE I LAST POSTED!!!!
Ok, let's proceed. On 7/5, my internet went out at home. AT&T did not get it back up until 7/13. Around 4pm on 7/14, a big thunderstorm passed through, causing my power to go out. It did not come back up until after 5pm on7/16. I've taken days off work to catch up on the internet stuff I've been missing.
Also during the storm, a huge limb snapped off my one tree. This looks to be the biggest and oldest tree. The limb itself is as big as a decent sized tree. It blocked my driveway. I went out when the main part of the storm was over and cut the branches off my driveway. The city is going to come by and get the stuff. I called before getting on here. They said some kind of bullshit about bundling the branches with twine. I think I have the big thing of twine from when my parents cleaned out their old house. I have to find the gd thing though. I was looking though shit in my garage a few weeks ago, so now I have to go through that stuff again to find it. I have 2 chainsaws, but need to find one of them, which is another reason I have to look through that shit again.
I think on 7/7, I noticed my toilet would not stop running. I turned the valve off. Now after I flush, I have to fill the tank back up with a small bucket. I'll have to take care of that in the future.
Apparently, Chase did not get the check for my credit card bill. I may call about that later today. I hope some shithead is not trying to steal my money.
On 7/3, a Blutoesque mechanic was bitching at me at Walmart. I won't go into that. I think I had at least 2 flies get into my car.
I had some meal issues, but I'll bring them up later when I talk about their respective meals.
There was some good news. My dad is home from the physical rehab facility. Hopefully I'll soon be done with litterbox duty.
When the internet was down, I had a lot of free time. On 7/9, I cleaned the soap off one of my guitars. It didn't get there from me cleaning it. That's all I'll say.
On 7/11, I had a headache. When looking for the WM tylenol, I found my fucked up crank flashlight. I took the crank off it and put it on the working one, whose crank had broken off years ago.
I think I can get to the food now. This will take a while.
Sun(7/2): This was a Save A Lot meal. I had a 2lb bag of chicken strips. They were pretty good. I also had a 2lb bag of mozzarella sticks. They were good. I was really full after eating.
Mon(7/3): This was a variation of a meal I had before. I can c/p, and just add the changes. First, I cooked 1/2cup(before cooking) of rice. I toasted it in the pot a bit with vegetable oil. I then took out my bigger pot. I put some veg oil in it and turned the burneron. I put in an 8oz roll of Cacique Beef Chorizo, and smashed it up to brown. While that was cooking, I cut up some onion. I then put that in the pot. Then I added a 28oz(wt) can of store-brand crushed tomatoes, a 2lb box of ALDI chicken broth, and 1 1/3 cups of water from the faucet, which I also used to rinse out the containers. I then turned up the burner. When the liquid was bubbling, I turned the burner down to low so the liquid would simmer, and put the lid on. After 20 min, I mixed in the rice and put the lid on, and waited another 20 min. When the 20 min expired, I mixed in a 12oz package of store-brand shrimp. I drank the water in the bag before I put the shrimp in the pot. The rice had caused the liquid to really thicken up. I then put the lid back on, and waited another 20 min. After that, I took the pot off the burner, and took the lid off, in order for this(is it a soup, stew or other?) to cool. I let it cool for s while before bringing it in to where I eat. I let it cool some more, and was stirring it to speed up cooling. As for the taste, it was good. I didn't feel like testing out my spices and condiments with it.
I was able to eat it all without being stuffed.
Tue(7/4): This was the last day of my 4th of July holiday meal.
The main item was a big bag of TGI Fridays Onion Rings snacks. It was good. I had a can of Dollar Tree black olives. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I had a jar of ALDI Specially Selected Garlic Stuffed Peppers. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
I had 2 cheese items. The one grocery chain has been having sales of BelGioioso fresh mozzarella the past few weeks. I had an 8oz "log" of sliced, and an 8oz "ball" of what they call Ciligene, which is a bunch of balls about the size of grapes. Both were good. I took them out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate them.
For meat items. I had 8oz of peppered chicken. It was good. I also had turkey pastrami. It was good. I took them out of the fridge at the same time I took out the cheese.
Regarding the meat items. There is a story about them, which is also a bit related to the cheese.
I was going to a grocery store to get the meat and cheese. I got the cheeses easily, because the route I took brought me right by the refrigerated shelf it was on. I then went to the deli counter. The turkey pastrami wasn't in the counter. They have to slice it specially. The worker at the counter couldn't run the slicer, as she was a checker. She was filling in for the actual worker, who was on break. The worker wouldn't be back for about 30 min. The worker went to get someone in the kitchen area. That lady came out, but went to serve some people at the Chinese counter. First, was an old couple. I don't remember if they were there before I got to the deli counter or not. She got their stuff. There was another lady who showed up after me, but before the worker showed up. She served her. The final straw was when the worker served this faggy guy who showed up WAY after I did, and after the worker was at that counter. She should've made him wait, and got my stuff. I left the deli counter, put the cheese back on the shelf, and left the store.
The next day, I went to another store. I got the cheese right away. I then went to the deli counter. The guy got the pt. I looked at the counter, and I saw a second pile of pt. The one I had him get was the DiLusso brand, which was $1/lb more than the store-brand version I later saw. I had him get me the store stuff instead. Later, I saw a sign saying the DiLusso was on sale for $1/lb off. If I had known that, Iwould've just stuck with the DiLusso.
As for the tp, I wanted .5lb. When the guy cut it, it was .72lb. Since it is a specially cut item, he couldn't put the extra back. He did something with the scale so I was only charged for the .5lb.
Wed(7/5): I didn't have anything.
Thu:(7/6): I had some of the salami.
My snack was a bag of Clancy's plain pork rinds. They were good.
I got my meal at Little Caesars. I got 2 thin crust pizzas. One was cheese, and the other peperoni. When it was time for me to eat, I cooked them in the oven for 15 min at 400F. They were good.
There were some issues. I was going to place my order at the location nearest my house. I kept on calling, and nobody picked up. I called another location and placed my order. The person said the total price was over $21. I thought that was high. When I got there, I paid for my stuff. The worker proceeded to take out 2 orders of Crazy Bread. I said I just ordered the pizzas. The worker got a lady, who I assume was the manager. She did something on the cash register, and said the charge would be taken off. On 7/14, I went to a Chase bank to see about my credit card bill. I asked the guy about the LC charge. He showed me the screen, and there was no listing for LC. The manager must've taken the whole charge off.
Fri(7/7): I first had some salami.
For my snacks, I don't remember the times, but I'm thinking they were the same for the first 3. I think I had the last one maybe 2 hrs earlier than usual, because I was not looking at Nextdoor. I'm also thinking the first and second were in the oposite order than how I list them.
I had ~half a 10oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put veg oil on it. It was good.
I had an 8oz ball of BelGioioso fresh mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
I had an 8oz ball of BelGioioso fresh mozzarella. It was the smoked variety. This was the first time I had it. It was really fucking good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
I had a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic variety. They were good.
Sat(7/8): I had my sweet stuff starting with cereal and pb.
I opened up a new package of coconut. It was good. I finished the m&m's Eggs. They were good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was Vanilla. It was ok. I had some regular and dark chocolate covered almonds from the h/n/o store. They were good. I finished the Chips Ahoy! Chewy Hershey's Fudge Filled. They were good. I also had a package of Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. There is only 1 per package. It was good. I took this, and the cookies, out of the fridge.
I opened 2 new items. One was a bag of store-brand chocolate chips. I took them off the shelf. They tasted a bit off. I don't know if it's because they are old, and/or if there was a tiny hole in the bag letting air in.
The other was a box of regular graham crackers. They were good. I have not finished the box of cinnamon ones yet. What happened was I wanted my mom to get a box of the honey variety, due to 1 coupon per person, but she fucked up and got the plain ones. I just wanted to eat the plain ones first. I don't know if there's that much of a difference between the plain/honey/cinnamon.
I had some salami.
My "meal" was ~half a 12oz box of oyster crackers. They were good.
Sun(7/9): I finished the salami.
My meal was 3 cans of store-brand chef boyardee pasta. The order I had them was mini beef ravioli, beefaroni, and spaghetti-os with meatballs.
My snack item was a bag of the El Sabroso guacamole chips. They were good.
Mon(7/10): I didn't have anything.
Tue(7/11): I opened a new bag of salami.
I had 3 snacks.
First was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
Next was a can of ALDI Northern Catch smoked oysters with the mini chili pepper. They were good.
Last was a bag of the Chili & Lime Fieras. They were good. They were very hot. I had some of them with a 16oz container of store-brand sour cream. Those were good. I just used a bit of the sc.
Usually, I have a meal. Due to my anxiety over the internet being out, I didn't feel like having a meal.
Wed morning, I had to take a hot dump due to the Fiereas.
On Wed, the ATT tech came out. He couldn't get me fixed, but said it would be done the next day. That caused me to get my appetite back.
Wed(7/12): I had some salami.
I didn't notate having a snack, and I'm thinking I didn't have any.
My meal was Bar-S hotdogs. I had the Original variety. I had 4 on buns and 4 naked. I fried them in veg oil in my pan. After I finished cooking those, I fried up some cabbage. I then fried some onion. I then fried the buns.
I used regular mustard, and a store-brand horseradish mustard. I put both on all the buns. The order I had the buns was: mustards only cabbage onion cabbage and onion They were all good. For the naked ones, I tried all 12 combinations of the mustards and vegetables. They were all good.
My snack item was a bag of Lay's potato chips. They were the Salt & Vinegar variety. Besides having them plain, I also had them with the rest of the sc I opened the night before. The chips were good plain and with the sc.
Thu(7/13): I had some salami.
I got my snack at Popeyes. It was a Blackened Chicken Sandwich. I got the spicy this time. I warmed it up in the microwave. It was very good. There was a lot of heat, but not in a too hot way. It was a good level, and lasted in my mouth quite a while after I had the sandwich.
I got my meal at Subway. I used a coupon. I have a bit of a story. I went to one right off the Interstate. There were 2 guys ahead of me. While I was waiting, I saw a fly fly right over to the food prep area. I couldn't see if it landed on anything, but I left anyway. I went to another one a few min away. It is also right off the Interstate, but a bit hidden. I got my sandwiches there with no problem.
I got 3 Footlong sandwiches. I didn't get them toasted. I think all 3 were supposed to have 2x cheese, but I think the guy didn't do that. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. I'll list the sandwiches below in the order I ate them, and make some comments.
The Outlaw: I had this one "stock".
Subway Club: I had this with the original provolone and mutligrain(I actually said wheat, but I don't think they have that separate) bread.
Supreme Meats: I had this one "stock".
They were all good. Even with the cheese issue, I will consider them done. I may try them with flatbread instead.
Fri(7/14): I may have had some salami, but I don't remember. All I rememner is the power went out. I didn't have my regular stuff. 2 of the things I was going to have were in the fridge, which I couldn't open.
Sat(7/15): I didn't have anything.
Sun(7/16): I finished the salami.
Even though the power came back on, I was worn out, and didn't feel like cooking. I just had 2 of the things I was going to have for Fri.
I first had a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Caesar variety. They were good.
I then had an 8oz ball of BelGioioso smoked fresh mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
Mon(7/17): I had ~half a 10oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good.
Later I had an 8oz ball of BelGioioso smoked fresh mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
My meal was a variation of something I haven't had in quite a while. I cooked ~half a 16oz bag of rotini. I cooked it a lot longer than the instructions say. I drained the water, which I put in containers and put in the freezer. I then added a 10oz block of frozen spinach, which I cooked while the rotini was cooking. I don't remember what brand it was. I may mention that next week. I then added a new ingredient. It was a jar of Ragu alfredo sauce. It was the Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sauce. I tried some that was stuck on the cap. It was good. There was an issue. It is sticky, so there was quite a bit in the jar. My rubber scraper wouldn't fit inside, so I couldn't use that. I used my fingers as best I could. I then added some of the pasta water to the jar and shook it up. There was still some stuck to the sides. I put the faucet on sprayer mode, and put it in the jar. I did a couple of blasts, and got all but a tiny bit out.
During my meal, I just had it plain, and with black pepper. It was good, but I didn't really seem to taste the sauce. I'm wondering it that was due to using too much water. I might have a smaller scraper in stuff I haven't washed. If I do, I'll use it if I try this meal again. I'll also try to use less water to rinse the jar out.
My meat item was a big can of Crown Prince sardines in tomato sauce. They were ok.
I was already full when I finished the pasta. I was even fuller after the sardines. I was thirsty, so I drank some water. My stomach was hurting. It seems to have gone away, but I need to take a dump.
That's it for the food. I will be having my regularly scheduled meal tonight. It will be a variation of an experiment I previously did, but with 2 new ingredients.
I'll skip the schedule paragraph for obvious reasons. I'll "timestamp" below
I was going to skip the last paragraph, but stuff has come up to talk about. First, Sofia Vergara and Ariana Grande are both getting divorces. If either read this, I'm still single. If I decide to play the Powerball lottery and win the $1billion+, I'll seem a lot more attractive. I also wanted to note the deaths of 2 actresses from the soap opera One Life To Live. First was Bronwen Booth. She played Andrea "Andy" Harrison. I don't remember her character. The other was Andrea Evans. She played Tina Lord. This one really hurt, because I thought she was f'n hot at the time. Also, she left OLTL due a stalker. I hope that fucker is burning in hell.
That is it for this week. It is 348pm as I post this. If no other fucked up shit happens, I should be posting at my normal time next week.

Hello, it is 1104pm Sat as I start this. The week wasn't very great. I spent Wed cutting up the limb that fell during the storm last Fri. I just have the chainsaw that can be put on a pole, so it has a short saw. I got it from my parents when they moved. They had a bigger one, which apparently they loaned to my brother, and he hasn't returned it. That would've been better to use, and be faster. I had a case of the burps, and had to take 2 diarrhea breaks. I brought a pitcher outside to drink out of. I filled it from the outside faucet. When I turned that on, there was grass coming out of it. I have no f'n clue about that. KC is picking up storm debris next week. I called on Tue to be included. I put the stuff out on the side of the street to be picked up. When I went out shopping on Thu, I saw it was all gone. On Fri, I called to ask about that. The guy said they didn't pick it up, and the lady I talked to Tue didn't even put me on the list. He put me on the list this time. Someone must've came and took the limb pieces for firewood, and took the branches as a thanks. After work on Fri, I went out again to put more stuff out. I was out there for around 4 hrs. I also had a case of the burps, and had to take 2 diarrhea breaks again. Today, I went out for a little over an hr and cut some more of the limb. I just have a few ft left. On the chainsaw, I looked in the oil holder. It is empty. I need to get some Mon. I will then finish the limb next Sat. Well, except for the big part right next to the tree. I'll leave it there for now. Maybe I'll deal with it if I can get the bigger chainsaw.
Also on Fri, I called about the credit card bill. They said they will waive the late fees. I'm going to the bank to pay in person with a check on Mon. I will also call my bank to cancel the check and put more money in my account.
On Thu, when I went shopping, I took the correct spray bottle, but not the working top. I didn't notice until I was going to have to use it later. That was on the way to Save A Lot. That particular location is closing at the end of the month, so they're not adding stuff. This means that they didn't have what I came for. Thankfully, there was a worker from the other area location there. He called his store, and they had the items. I went home and got the working sprayer top, then went to the other SAL. I got what I wanted. The whole ordeal took a lot of extra time. I also had a meal-related issue, but I'll mention that later. It was actually both the meal and snack. I also had a Fri snack issue, which I'll mention below also.
I almost forgot some good news. My dad was able to clean the litterbox, so I don't have to do that anynore.
I guess it's time for the food. Before I mention this week's stuff, I have to mention some corrections from last week.
The horseradish mustard is a discount brand, not a store brand.
I didn't use ALDI chicken broth. It was a store-brand chicken stock. I took a couple of sips, and I recall it not tasting that good.
The spinach I used was from Birds Eye.
I took the cookies and the LD Strawberry Roll out of the freezer
Now back to the current food.
Tue: I had some salami. I think it was a new package.
My first snack was a bag of the Tapatio puffs. They were good. They are made by El Sabroso, who are the ones who make the Guacamole chips. My second snack was a box of Chicken in a Biskit crackers. They were good.
My meal was a package of Bar-S chicken hot dogs. I had 4 on buns and 4 naked. I cooked them in the microwave. Before I put them in the casserole dish, I put in some cabbage and a bit of water. I cooked the cabbage and hd at the same time. I also cut up some onion. Instead of using mustard, I made a "curry" sauce. I put some canola oil and flour in my upper part of a double boiler, and turned the burner on. I let that cook into a roux. I then added black pepper. red pepper flakes, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder and cinnamon. I also opened a can of store-brand coconut cream from the h/n/o store, and added some of it. I mixed in some water to thin the sauce out. I heated the sauce up for a bit. I used sauce on all the hd. For the ones on buns, I had them in this order: sauce only cabbage onion cabbage and onion For the naked ones, I had bites with various items of the above list. They were all good. I do wish I had cooked the cabbage a bit before putting in hd, so it would have been more cooked and softer. There was still c and o left over when the hd were done. I put them in a container, and put it in the fridge.
My snack item was a bag of store-brand cool ranch doritos. They were good.
I think not cooking the cabbage enough also didn't cook all the farts out. Before I went outside, I took a dump. When I was outside, I was constantly doing monster farts. The burps and diarrhea came later.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I had some salami.
My first snack was a can Vigo Jumbo Squid In Sunflower And Olive Oil. It was good. I took it off the shelf.
My second snack was a bag of Brim's Fiery Hot cheetos. They were good.
I have a story about my snack. I originally was going to get stuff at Taco Bell. They had a promo where they had a Volcano taco and burrito, which are supposed to be hot. When I went there, the worker said they had run out of those a few days before.
I got my meal at Wendy's and Burger King. I first had the Wendy's items. They are having a buy one, get one for $1. I got a Spicy Chicken Sandwich and a Dave's Single. I think that is the order I had them in. For the BK items, they brought back the Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwiches. The order I had them in was: Original Italian Spicy Bacon & Swiss I don't recall about the Wendy's items, but the BK sandwiches weren't that good. There were multiple reasons. I think I had a big gas bubble in my stomach, making me feel full already. I was tired, and it was getting late when I ate. I heated up everything in the microwave before I ate. When I got to the BK items, they were room temp again. I should've put the stuff in the oven, but like I said, it was getting late. The reason it was late and I was tired was that I was making a batch of the curry sauce to put in the freezer for a future meal.
I had a beverage. When I was at BK, I had to wait for my sandwiches. The worker gave me a cup and said I could get a drink. I got Surge, since I don't think I've had it before. It was good. I had it while I was waiting.
The next morning, I awoke with ass pressure. I went in and shot out diarrhea. I had to do it 2 more times before I started working. I think it was the cheetos, because my butthole was hot each time I pooped. 2 of the chicken sandwiches were spicy, but didn't seem very much so. After this with the cheetos, and last week with the Fieras, I'm seriously considering not buying either of these again.
Fri: I had some salami.
My first snack was ~half a 10oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it around 1235am
My second snack was a box of Hot Pockets. There were 2 of them. They were the Peperoni Pizza with Garlic Buttery Crust. I cooked them in the microwave. They were good. I know the first one was very hot. I took small bites, so I didn't burn my mouth. I think the second one was also hot, and I took small bites of that one too. I had these at 137am during the rebroadcast of a station's 10pm news.
My third snack was an 8oz bag of store-brand mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge around 2 hrs before I ate it. I had it while watching the 330am rebroadcast of TMZ.
I have to talk about my second and third snacks. I was originally going to go to the store I get fish and/or egg salad at to celebrate if I didn't have litterbox duty anymore. As I said near the top, I don't. That plan changed due to me going outside to deal with the limb. If I had known I was going to do that, I would've went to the other major grocery chain Thu and picked up 2 more balls of BelGioioso smoked fresh mozzarella, since that was on sale again. I actually was at a store on Thu, but I was there for something else.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Italian Seasoned variety. They were ok. I had them around 730pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb.
I had a store-brand yogurt. It was black cherry. It was good. I had an ALDI pudding cup. It was ok. I had almost the rest of the coconut cream I opened Tue. It was ok. It has coconut taste, but not as strong as the shredded coconut. I had read that you can whip coconut cream, to have a coconut version of whipped cream. I tried doing that, but it didn't work. I don't have a whisk, so I tried using a fork. I didn't put it in a bowl. I just used the 24oz cottage cheese container I had it in. This whipping attempt delayed my eating for maybe 10 min. I had some of the chocolate covered almonds from the h/n/o store. They were good. I tried one regular cho and one dark choc in the coconut cream. They were good. I had some of the store-brand chocolate chips. They were good. I dipped a spoonfull of those in the cc, which wasn't bad. I had some of the regular graham crackers. They were good. Because I opened that package(there are 3 per box) 2 weeks ago, they were soft. I also dipped a few in the cc. Those were good. I had a LD Strawberry Roll. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I also dipped it in the cc, which was good.
I opened up a new package of Chips Ahoy! cookies. They are the variety with Mini Reese's Pieces. They were ok. I also dipped a couple in the cc, which was ok.
I also had a beverage. I think the brand is WBC. It was root beer. The label also said "Chicago Style", whatever the hell that means. The flavor was good, but there was an issue. When I was moving the bottle around, it was hard. That usually means a lot of the carbonation has left the soda. That was the case here. It seemed like there was little to no carbonation.
I had some salami.
My "meal" was a 13 oz bag of "restaurant style tortilla chips". The brand is exclusive to only one of the local grocery chains. They were the lime variety. They were good. Besides having them plain, I used hot sauce. The bottle had a ton of it dried around the inside. I added water, and shook the bottle. What I have is very runny, and there is still a lot stuck to the side. The chips with the hot sauce were good too.
Due to this hot sauce being runny, I spilled some on myself. My skin was burning where I did this.
That's it for the food. I'll be having my meal in a few hrs. It is just opening some cans and cooking on the stove.
It is 1046pm as I post this. SNL was the Michael B. Jordan/Lil Baby episode. I didn't need to rewatch it. I was on the phone with my mom for a while after 1030. The only thing I recall doing after being on the phone with my mom was putting the LD item in the fridge. I then sat down to start typing. I went to take my nap at 2. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I did not type while eating this time. I forget when I was done eating. I only did a bit of typing after. Close to 6am, I got up and put stuff away. I then sat back down. I think I did the sleep/wake thing a bit. I think I then woke up around 750. I was getting ready for later, and turned the tv to NBC. I saw there was golf on, and MTP wouldn't be on. I went into bed around 8. I set the alarm for 930, intending to get up for ABC's This Week. When the alarm went off, I hit the snooze bar 3 times. I got up before 10. I sat in my chair. I felt drowsy, and dozed off for a bit. I woke up before 1030. I watched Washington Week, but don't think I typed. I think I resumed typing during the local show. When that was over at 1130, I went and took a dump. I then did my reading. I think I got done between 130 and 2. I then watched the 7/14 edition of the local show online, which I had missed due to the power being out. I then watched some parts of SNL and Young Sheldon online I had misses due to glitching. I then checked my email. I then looked at Nextdoor. I then went to bed before 6 to take a nap. I got up for 8 for the 2 episodes of Housebroken. I was able to watch it all with no glitching. I then restarted my computer. After that, I called my mom. I then got up to get some water. I then sat down to resume typing.
I didn't originally have anything here, but I just wanted to acknowledge the death of Tony Bennett. I'm not familiar with his stuff. He did work with Lady Gaga, which is cool. I read a little bit ago that apparently some of the right wing ship of fools are bitching about the Barbie movie. Aren't they tired of shooting themselves in the foot and looking like idiots.
I'm done for tonight. Barring any more fucked up shit, I should be back next week.

Hello. It is 1137 pm as I start this. It was another crappy week. It started out fucked up. I got to making my Sun meal late. I live at a "T" intersection, with my house facing the approaching street. I saw some guy walking. He turned down the street. He was not walking normally; more like a zombie. He proceeded down the street, then he turned around. He started walking back toward my street. I turned the lights off, so as not to draw attention toward my house. He stopped on the street, and was looking at my house. I was like "oh fuck no!" He then walked down the street. I then saw him in my neighbor's yard or driveway. That's when I called 911, because I didn't know what he was going to do. I kept looking out the windows, and did not see him. I don't know where he went. The cops never came. I waited quite a while before sitting down to eat. The next day, after work, I looked in my back yard, and didn't see anything out of place, so he prob kept out of there. I forget what day the next thing happened. Around 9pm, I was sitting watching tv, when I heard a loud thump. Due to the zombie man, I was concerned. I got up, and looked out the window. A large branch had broken off one of my trees, apparently hit the roof, then landed on the driveway. I went out and moved it. On Thu, I went to the Save A Lot that is closing for good on Mon. I called ahead to see if they had any bags of their version of hot cheetos left. They did. I also asked if they had the SAL version of beef sticks. It sounded like they did. When I got there, they did have the cheetos, but didn't have the beef sticks. I bought 3 bags of the cheetos, and left. I then went to a store of one of the major grocery chains. The BelGioioso was on sale again. I was hoping to get 2 balls of the smoked variety. They didn't have any. On Fri, I called another store in the chain. They had it, but it wasn't part of the sale. When I got there, I saw they had the 2 varieties of the marinated, which I wanted to try. I took one of each variety to the register next to the hot case. I had the guy scan them, and they weren't on sale. I went back, and grabbed 2 of the smoked. I had the girl who was now at the register scan them. They indeed weren't on sale. I put them back and left. I had also called the other store in the area, and they said they had the smoked. When I got there, I went to the shelf where the sale tag was. There was no smoked. If they did have it, I'm thinking it was on another shelf, because it wasn't part of the sale.
Today, I was looking at the tv listings. I saw that the TMZ weekend edition was on from 1-2pm. It was 159pm. I jumped ahead to 3am, and it's not on due to Women's World Cup. I then looked at Sun, and the same thing. So I missed it this weekend. Around 4pm, I went out to finish cutting the limb. It took way longer than expected because I didn't want to do straight slices after doing 2. That's because it was a section where there had been 2 other limbs branching(pun intended) off. I finally came in just before 530. After cleaning some stuff, and taking a shower, I sat down after 6. I got done looking at Nextdoor a bit after 830pm. If I had gotten done outside sooner, I may have been done before 8, and had 2 hrs for my nap.
I almost forgot what happened on Wed. I was working from home. I was feeling ass pressure. I wanted to do 2 help sessions before I went to take a dump. the palms of my hands starting itching. I then got 2 small hive bumps on my left hand. I took a dump. I then started working again. My palms itched a bit after, but it went away.
My dad's leg is apparently getting bad again. He went to the dr on Tue, and got a prescription for antibiotics. My mom had said his leg was looking better, but tonight said it's getting worse. She may take him to the hospital on Sun. If so, that means I'd be on litterbox duty again.
I did go to a Chase bank on Mon, and pay my bill for this month and last month.
I'll get to the food now.
Sun: I finished the salami.
My meal was 3 cans of Hormel tamales. They were good. As I said above, my meal was delayed due to the zombie man. I was going to use the hot sauce on some of them, but I forgot to, for obvious reasons.
Mon: I made my Tue meal on Mon, and the only stuff I ate was the prep-related nibbling,
Tue: I opened a new bag of salami.
For snacks, I had a can of ALDI fried onions. They were good. I recall only the crumbs at the bottom of the can were salty. I had a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. The liquid didn't gooify. I had a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~half a bag of store-brand stir fry vegies. I cooked it Mon using the healthy method. I did do something different. When I added the rice to the veggies, I also added some of the coconut cream I had set aside before I ate the rest last Sat. I took the mix out of the fridge, and didn't let it sit out. It was good plain, and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in oil. They were good. I actually had these during work on Wed. I ate my meal late, due to falling asleep after waking up from a nap. I had them after the dump I mentioned earlier.
Wed: When I made my Tue meal on Mon, I put some of the rice/veggie mix in another container. I had this on Wed. It was good plain and with my 3 items. The only combo I did was soy sauce and black pepper.
Thu: I had some salami.
For snacks, I had a can of Northern Catch smoked oysters in oil from ALDI. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I also had a bag of Walmart funyuns. They were good.
I got my meal at Little Caesars. They still had the $7.99 deal on thin crust pizzas. I got one cheese and one pepperoni. I put them in the oven for 15 min at 400F. They were good.
Fri: I had some salamni.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz baf of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it at 1235am during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
I got my second snack at the hot case of a grocery store. It was 2 pieces of breaded swai. I warmed it up in the microwave before I ate it. While it was good, the breading was salty. I had it at 135am during the rebroadcast of another station's 10pm news.
I got my third snack at the hot case and cold case. I had some egg salad. It was good. I had some breaded shrimp. I warmed it up in the microwave. It was good. That made me a bit mad actually. You may be thinking what's up with that, but it will make sense. The last time I had shrimp from there, I had a bunch for a meal. It wasn't too good. If I had known it was good this time, I would've gotten more. Maybe even enough to have instead of the fish. I would've gotten something else to have with the egg salad. Anyway, I had this snack at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My fourth snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic variety. They were good. I had them after 1030pm because I did not feel like having them earlier.
It is 228am as I post this. SNL was the Amy Schumer/Steve Lacy episode. There were parts I had to re-watch due to previous glitching. I was able to. I got some food ready during the opening sketch. I sat down during the opening credits, then ate the croutons. After Weekend Update, I started typing. Since TMZ is not on, I decided to take my nap at 3, and get up for 4 to eat.
This week there was the Hunter Biden plea deal ordeal. The Retardicans are trying to tie it to his father. I can see the Trump kids being involved in illegal activities with their bloated father. I also wanted to acknowledge 3 famous people's deaths. First, Inga Swenson. She played Kraus on Benson. I've only watched 1 or 2 episodes recently. I used to see it as a kid when my parents watched it, so I don't recall much about it. I just watched(not listened) to a YT clip of her singing in the mid 60's. She was rather cute. Also, Sinead O'Connor died. She is most famous for Nothing Compares 2 U. The vibe from the news stories is that she killed herself. The last one is Randy Meisner of the Eagles. He was a founding member, and played bass until he left after Hotel California. He is most known for lead vocals on Take it to the Limit.
That is all. I should be back next week, and prob posting at a later, more normal time.

Hello. It is 1201am as I start this. I guess the week was ok. There was 1 meal related things, which I'll mention later. I think I fell asleep Mon night after taking a nap. After waking up, I looked at Nextdoor, then went to bed. It was so late, that I decided to stay home to work to get some more sleep.
I guess I'll get to the food now.
I do need to mention something from the previous week. When I made my fried rice and veggies, I used some of the starchy water from the pasta I made a few weeks ago.
Now to this week.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb.
I had an ALDI pudding cup. It was good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was Strawberry Banana. I had some of the store-brand chocolate chips. They were good. I had one of the Little Debbie Strawberry Rolls. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I had some of the Chips Ahoy! cookies. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I had some of the graham crackers. They were good. I had some of the shredded coconut. It was good. I had some of the reg/dark chocolate almonds from the h/n/o store. They were good.
I had some salami.
My "meal" was ~half a box of oyster crackers. I had a few plain, which were good. I had most of them with canola oil, which was good.
Sun: I finished the salami. I fried it in the cast iron pan with some canola oil. It was good.
The main part of my meal was a 16oz roll of store-brand pork sausage. It was Italian flavor. Before I cooked it, I put it in an old potato chip bag to roll it out to make the cylinder longer and thinner. I then cut it up. I then fried it in the pan. I made sure it was very browned on the outside. A for the taste, It was good. Even though it was supposed to be Italian flavored, I did not taste that. The key to making the sausage good is to make it browned/burnt on the outside.
My main side was a package of discount brand Easy Sides. It was the Chicken version of Noodles & Sauce. It was good.
I also had a can of Great Value(Walmart) white hominy. It was good.
I had an 8oz roll of BelGioioso fresh mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
I had a new item. It was a can of stuffed grape leaves from ALDI. They were good. These were like the ones I used to get in the deli section of the store that closed.
Mon: I didn't have anything except the nibbling I do when making my meal.
Tue: I opened a new package of salami.
My first snack was a bag of El Sabroso Baja Limon Spicy Chile & Lime tortilla chips. They were good. I don't remember if there was any spiciness or heat, or if there was a lime taste. I do know I'm going to buy these again. I then had a Big Mama pickled sausage. It was good. My last snack was a bag of Duetsche Kuche Potato Sticks from ALDI. They were the Hash Brown Style. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it using the healthy method. When adding the spices...., I also added some of the pasta water. I made it Mon so I could eat it cold from the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines. They were decent. I took them out of the fridge. Like the other ones, these will prob taste better off the shelf.
During this meal, I also finished the bottle of hot sauce.
Wed: Like I've done the previous times, I put some of the rice/veggie mix into a smaller container to eat on Wed. I took it out of the fridge when I had it. It was good plain, and with black pepper and/or soy sauce.
Thu: I had some salami.
I didn't have a snack because I wanted to take my nap starting at 11pm. TMZ was not on then due to Women's World Cup coverage. I watched it during the rebroadcast time at 330am.
I got my meal at Arby's. I used coupons for everything. I heated up all the sandwiches in the microwave before I ate them.
I first had 2 Gyros. They were the Greek variety. They were good.
I then had 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches. They were good. I dipped the first 2, and the first half of the 3rd one. I was able to soak the last half of the 3ed one, and the last one.
There was an issue. When I just had the last bite of the last one left, I got rumbling in my insides and some pressure. I ate the bite, and drank the rest of the beef juice. I then had to go into the bathroom and do some "reverse vomiting" in the form of a lot of diarrhea. It was so messy that I took a shower afterward. I almost forgot to mention that my palms started itching before I went in the shower. Because of the extra time in the bathroom, I stayed home to work, in order to get some more sleep.
Fri: I had some salami.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it at 1235am during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
I got my second snack from the Asian section of a grocery store. It was 12 pot stickers. I warmed them up in the microwave. they were good plain and with soy sauce. I had them at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
I got my third snack at a grocery store on Thu. They were doing a 1 day buy 1, get 1 free sale on sushi. Each container came with the ginger to eat between each piece, a wad of wasabi and a packet of Lee Kum Kee soy sauce. The first container was, I think, spicy salmon California roll. I had it plain and with wasabi and/or soy sauce. It was good. The second container was some version with tempura shrimp. I had it plain and with wasabi and/or soy sauce. It was good. I had the sushi during the 330am rebroadcast of TMZ.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Classic Caesar variety. I had them around 1030pm. I didn't have then earlier because I wanted to finish looking at Nextdoor, then take a nap at 8.
I'll have my sweet stuff a bit later. I will be doing an experiment. I'm not 100% sure what I;m having for my "Sat" meal. But I'm leaning toward something. I'm almost 100% sure what I'm having for my Sun meal.
Next Fri, I'm taking my car in for the 6 mo oil change, and to fix the tire, and whatever is wrong with the front axle. I will be changing my meals, and I'm thinking of doing an experiment.
It is 237am as I post this. SNL was the Steve Martin & Martin Short/Brandi Carlile episode. I recall it not being very good. I only watched Weekend Update. After eating the croutons, I was looking at Yahoo! News when I wasn't watching WU. I then started typing. The TMZ weekend edition is not on tonight due to the WWC coverage. That means I'm taking my nap from 3-4, and am typing while watching Forged in Fire.
The only news item of note this week was the death of Paul Reubens. He is better known by his character name of Pee Wee Herman. That sucks. I used to watch Pee Wee's Playhouse when it was on. If you were not alive back then, you might not know that his career was all but destroyed after he was arrested for jacking off in a porno theater. Back then, there were no cellphones that you could watch porn on, or even using the internet on a computer. You either had to watch porn on videotape, or in a theater. Apparently, many guys masturbated in the theaters, so PWH's action wasn't unique.
That's all for this week. I should be back next week, but don't know when.

Hello. It is 1155pm as I start this. I had yet another very shitty week. When I was sleeping on Sun, I recall having a dream where I slammed a door, then I woke up. When I got up before work, I saw in the one bedroom that 2 boxes, 2 cans of sardines, snacks, and a gym bag fell off the old diaper pail they were sitting on. During work, I kept on thinking of that stuff on the floor. After my rice was cooking, I was finally able to clean the boxes and bag off. When I was browning the rice, I felt something on my back. I reached back and pulled something off. I looked, and it was a fucking beetle! I threw it on the floor. I eventually stepped on it. I'm thinking it got on me when I was at QuikTrip putting air in my tire. When I left the house, the pressure in my tire was only like 17psi. I stopped at QT before heading off to where I was going. There was a beetle flying at me that I think actually hit me in the face while at QT. Besides the valve issue with my toilet, I think the tank may be draining.
On Thu, I got a call from my mom. My dad had fallen on his way to the bathroom and cut his head. My mom called 911, and he was taken to the hospital. He was able to go home later. After the call, I got a helpdesk call that ran past the end of my shift.
Fri was the worst day. I took my car to get fixed. The rep said that the clunking is because the bushings are dried out, and need to be replaced. He said I have to bring the car back on Mon, and that it'll take a few days. I was able to reserve a rental car, but I'll have to wait at the dealership for a few hrs before they can come get me. My routine will be fucked up next week. There is some food related stuff which I'll mention later. I decided to watch TMZ at 11pm. At around 1119pm, it was interrupted due to a tornado warning at the edge of the station's area coverage. I missed the rest of the show. I figured I would watch it during the 330am rebroadcast. I looked at the tv listings, and it showed that there was a WWC match. I did go over and see my parents. The ice machine on their refrigerator isn't working. My dad had me disconnect/reconnect the water hose from its faucet a few times. This caused my thumbs to be all sliced up.
There was some good news. On Fri, when I was out(dun dun dun), I found some stuff I was looking for. I won't elaborate, since it's not musical equipment.
I will get to the food now.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb.
I had an ALDI pudding cup. It was good. I had the last store-brand yogurt. It was Blueberry. It was good. I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had some of the reg/dark choc h/n/o almonds. They were good. I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had some of the graham crackers. They were good. I had the last of the LD Strawberry Rolls. It was good. I took it out of the freezer. I also had the last of the Chips Ahoy! cookies. They were good. I took them out of the freezer.
I also opened a new item. It was a bag of small marshmallows. There was a shopping cart full of them for $.50 when I went to the store on 8/4. I picked up a bag. They were good.
I also did an experiment. I took one of the graham crackers, which is a rectangle, and split in in half to make 2 squares. I put one square in the microwave. I put some chocolate chips on it. I then put 4 marshmallows on top. I think i put the other marshmallow square on top. I then microwaved this for a bit. Thew marshmallows swelled up. After they went back down, I cooked this for a bit more. As for the taste, I don't recall there being much. I wonder if that's because I didn't eat it right away. I think I'll try it again next time. But I'll put cc on one square, and marshmallows on the other, and cook them as the same time.
I had some salami.
My "meal" was a box of Triscuit crackers. Thery were the Avocado, Cilantro & Lime variety. They were good. There was flavor, but I don't recall if I recognized anything.
Sun: I finished the salami.
The main part of my meal was 2 cans of store-brand chunky soup. It was Grilled Chicken & Sausage Gumbo. It was good. My snack item was a box of Kellogg's Town House Flatbread crackers. They were the Italian Herb flavor. They were ok.
Last week, I finished the bottle of hot sauce. I opened up a new one. It was Frank's Xtra Hot. I tried a bit. It was hot, but didn't seem like a lot.
Mon: I made my meal for the next day, and only did cooking related nibbling.
Tue: My first snack was a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. The liquid didn't gooify. My second snack was a bag of Save A Lot hot cheetos. They were good, even though they did not seem hot.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it during the healthy method. When I added the spices...., I also added some of the pasta starch water. I took it right out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in "Extra Virgin Olive Oil. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. Even though they were in olive oil, they didn't taste different than other sardines in regular oil. Maybe the olive oil will taste different when I try them off the shelf next time.
The next morning, I woke up with ass pressure. I went in and shot out a bunch of orange liquid. Then later during work, I did some more. When I took the first dump, my ass was burning. I can't recall about the second one. Also, my palms were itching again. I can't remember if it was after the first or second one. The unscheduled dumps were due to the cheetos. This looks like something else I can't buy again. I do have 2 more bags though.
Wed: I had the rice mix I put aside on Mon, like the previous times. I ate it out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items. I didn't do any combos with my items.
Thu: My first snack was a bag of Tapatio puffs. They were good. My second snack was a 7.5oz can of Pampa sardines in tomato sauce. I took them off the shelf. This was one of the cans that fell on the floor on Mon. They were good. My third snack was a bag of Deutsche Kuche Potato Sticks from ALDI. They were the Herbs Of The Alps flavor. They were good.
My meal was a Mama Cozzi Rising Crust Pizza from ALDI. It was Pepperoni. It was good.
There is a story behind my meal. Usually, I get the Supreme variety. When I went to the one I go to just about every Mon, they didn't have any. I wasn't going to buy one then anyway. Since I mowed the lawn after work on Tue, my plan was to go on Wed and get one. I was also planning on going into the office to work, then go to the ALDI that's somewhat on the way home. Due to my napalm dumps that morning, I decided to stay home and work. Due to the construction I mentioned a long time ago, it would've taken forever to get to that ALDI. I decided to go to the one at the edge of the hood. They didn't have the Supreme. I then asked the lady who appeared to be in charge if she could see if the the other one had them. She went into the office. After quite a long time, she came back out. She said she couldn't figure out how to look up the other store. I then went over there. They just had the Four Cheese and Pepperoni. I got the Pepperoni. When I checked out, the price was over $5. The price tag on the freezer shelf said $3.69, as it was for the other 2 locations. I figured it was just crazy KC sales tax. I looked at the receipt, and the pizza was $4.99. If I had known that, I wouldn't have gotten one. Instead, I would've gotten an order of Italian Cheese Bread from Little Caesars.
Fri: I mentioned above what happened. I felt like crap. I went to all but one place(dun dun dun) before I saw my parents. This means I got there very late. My original plan was to go to their house and take a nap. Then go get stuff at the hot case of a store, then go back to their house. A few hrs later, I would leave their house and get some stuff at a restaurant using coupons, and eat it at my house while shaving. For some reason, I still felt full into the afternoon. I don't know if that was due to nerves. I just stayed at their house. I left after 430pm. I went to the grocery store and got stuff from the hot case. I didn't home until about 605pm. After putting stuff away, I sat down to shave after 630. Since Smackdown came on at 7, I didn't eat while shaving; instead ate while watching Smackdown.
I got 8 jalapeno poppers stuffed with cream cheese. They were good. I got 4 crab rangoons. They were good.
The main item I got was this beef stuff that had some other stuff in it. I remember red peppers and water chestnuts. This stuff wasn't good. First, it was very salty. Second, I couldn't tell what flavor it was going for. It didn't taste like bbq, Asian, or pot roast. I wish I had seen if I could get a sample to try first. I would've prob not got any, or just got a little. I could've gotten some breaded swai instead. When I was at the store, there was a tray of rice, but it wasn't next to the beef. I'm wondering if the beef was some sort of Asian stuff, and meant to be eaten with the rice, instead of by itself, as I did.
Later I went to WM. I walked past their hot case. They had some flautas, which I would've preferred over the beef stuff.
I was full when I was not done yet. I had to slow my eating down, but was able to finish everything. After I was done, I was rocking back and forth, like a stereotypical autistic person.
Due to being stressed out over my car, I did not feel like making the special meals I planned on.
That's it for the food. I think I'm going to make something a bit later. I'm going to have a small meal tonight. I'm planning on keeping my schedule M-W. If I get my car back on Wed, that will change. I'm planning on doing something different on Thu, no matter if I get my car then or not. If I get my car on Fri, I will do something different then.
It is 1141am as I post this. SNL was the Aubrey Plaza/Sam Smith episode. The only sketch I watched was the Miss Universe(FROOOG!!!!) one. I also watched Weekend update, but there was some glitching. I was watching some Smackdown stuff on YT before WU. At 1130, I watched Cook's Country, but was paying more attention to Yahoo! News. After CC, I started typing. At 2am, I went and took my nap. At 3, I got up for the TMZ weekend edition. I didn't have my sweet stuff like I normally do. I didn't feel like typing. I was drowsy, and fell asleep during it. I fell asleep/woke up a few times. I then woke up right before 6. I watched a bit of Good Morning America, and the local news at 6. I then went into bed and slept. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I was able to watch it without falling asleep, and no glitching. I've been typing during This Week and Washington Week. I now have Pawn Stars on while typing.
Here is my current events paragraph. There is more stuff about Trump and Hunter Biden. I'm not worrying about that. In WWC news, Sweden beat Japan. I got to see the first half. But since it was around 3am Fri morning, I went to sleep because I had to get up early for my car. They are playing against Spain in the semi-finals at 2am on Tue. There are 3 deaths I wanted to mention. First, was a regional one. Shoji Tabuchi died of cancer at 79. He was a Japanese fiddle player who had his own theater in Branson, MO. I never saw his show, but wanted to give my respects. Robbie Robertson died at 80. He was the leader of the band called The Band. Their most famous song was The Weight. Johnny Hardwick also died. You may not know who he was. He did the voice of Dale Gribble on King of the Hill. I heard they were going to do a reboot of KotH. Since Brittany Murphy and Tome Petty died(Luanne and Lucky), I could see Hank and Petty raising L/L's daughter. I don't know what they'll do since Dale's voice actor died. I guess they can try to get a replacement. They might kill of DG. That might be easier than addressing that there was no chance that DG wouldn't be a Q Asinine member, and prob a Trumptard.
I should be back next week, and hopefully also my car will too. If so, I should be feeling better.

Hello/ It is 1051pm as I start this. It was another shitty week. This was mostly due to my car. Like I said last week, I had to bring it back on Mon. I had reserved a rental car at Enterprise. They were going to come and get me between 1130 and noon, which meant I had to wait at the dealership for over 4hrs. It was close to noon, and they hadn't come. I called there. The lady said she called 15min ago. When I reserved the rental, I said I only have a home phone, and to just come and get me. Some time later, a worker came and got me. I then got processed, and was able to come home. Even though I reserved a car, they gave me an suv instead. I don't think I have to pay more though. It is some model of Dodge. I can drive it fine, but I felt funny when I did. The customer rep said my car wouldn't be ready until at least Wed. Thu afternoon, I called him. He said it should be ready Fri. Well, Fri at 8am, he called. He said the sway bars were cracked, and that my car now should be ready Mon. When I come to get it, I'm going to ask him why they didn't find that earlier. If they had, I could've maybe had my car on Fri.
At work, I got in a bit of trouble due to what I used for the "babysitting" system code one day. I won't explain that, but I think I've talked about it before.
There was a bit of good news. We got our recycling bins today. They left it at the end of the driveway. Around 1030pm, I put on some underwear and wheeled it up to the house.
I can get to the food now.
The main thing I want to say is that most of my meal choices were influenced by my dealing with my car.
Sat: For my "meal", I made some popcorn. I'll not repeat the process here. I did add canola oil and black pepper to it. It was good.
Sun: My meal was just some small things. I didn't feel like having a regular meal. I had a store-brand can of Campbell's style(add water) tomato soup. When I was cooking it, i added some cumin and turmeric. It was good. I had a bag of store-brand ranch doritos. They were good. I had a can of store-brand tuna in water. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I also had a can of black olives from Dollar Tree. They were good. I took them out of the fridge.
Even though that wasn't a lot of food, I still felt very full for some reason.
The next morning, I woke up with ass pressure, and took a dump before I left for the dealership. Around 11am, I got more ass pressure. I was uncomfortable until I got home and took a dump. I took 1 or 2 more. The last one had a bunch of olive pieces in it. I'm thinking my shit issues were due to the popcorn.
Mon: I cooked my Tue meal, and the only food I had was cooking related nibbling.
Tue: I opened a new bag of salami.
My first snack was a bag of Andy Capp hot fries. They were good. I then had a can of Vigo Mussels In Marinade Sauce. They were good. I took them off the shelf. My third snack was a bag of Bugles. They were the Hidden Valley Ranch variety. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it using the healthy method. I forgot to add the pasta water. Since I made it Mon, when it was time to eat, I took it out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines. They were the Mediterranean variety. I took them off the shelf. They were good.
I can't recall if I had any poo issues.
Wed: I had the rice mix I put in a smaller container for eating on Wed. It was good plain and with my 3 items, but no combos. I took it out of the fridge.
Thu: I had some salami.
Due to me having a rental vehicle, I didn't want to go out and get anything to eat. And because I thought I was getting my car the next day, I didn't want to have a big meal.
I had a bag of Walmart funyuns. They were good. I had a can of Great Value white hominy. It was good. I had a Tijuana Mama pickled sausage. It was good. I had a can of the ALDI stuffed grape leaves. They were good.
I think I felt full again, even though this was not a lot for me. And like Mon morning, I woke up with ass pressure, and had to take a dump.
Fri: I had some salami
I got some egg salad from the cold case of a store near my parents. While it wasn't as good as the es I'll usually get on Fri, it tasted really good to me. I had it at 7pm during Smackdown.
My second snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it around 1250am during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news, the Inside Edition at 1.
My third snack was a Michelina's entree. It was Beef & Peppers. It was good. I think I had it around 6am, as I recall eating it while watching Popeye. I'll explain the time change later.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Italian Seasoned variety. They were good. I had them around 730.
That's all for the food. Again, I'll be having different meals due to my car. This includes M-W.
It is 119am as I post this. SNL was the Quinta Brunson/Lil Yachty episode. I kind of watched the opening sketch because I was busy typing. It came on late due to football. I did watch Weekend Update. There was a lot of glitching during both segments. I've just continued typing.
Here is my last paragraph. Nobody I give a crap about died this week. I'll just talk about the Women's World Cup. Sweden lost to Spain in the semi-finals. They tied it up at 1-1, but Spain got another goal right after to end up winning. Sweden faced Australia in the 3rd place match. I woke up to watch it, but I closed my eyes and fell back asleep. I woke up at 410. I rushed in and tuned on the tv. They had just started the 2nd half. I watched all of it. Sweden won. A lot of the Swedish team are nice to look at. I recall Rolfo and Bjorn. The cutest is Asllani. I looked online for pics of her. When she has her hair down and not flushed and sweaty, she is super hot. I think there is a player on the Spanish team that looks a bit like her. Speaking of Spain, they are playing England in the final at 5am my time. I think I'll watch a bit of it, but it's not a pressing issue. I almost forgot to mention that my original plan was to have the Michelina's entree during halftime of the Swedish match, but my extra sleeping changed my plans. I decided to have it after the match.
I'll be back next week. hopefully feeling better.

Hello. It is 1142pm as I start this. I finally got my car back. They called on Mon at 1pm. Before I brought the rental suv back, I had to put gas in it. I passed a BP station. I went in another station. I went to a pump and put in my card. It then said select the gas and start pumping. I pressed the button, and nothing happened. I tried a few more times. I then saw a worker, and asked him what's wrong. He said that pump wasn't working due to the gas in the tanks being low, but another pump still works. I drove over to that one. I put my card in, then nothing happened. I tried again, and it said my card was declined. I ended up going to QuikTrip to get the gas. Some time during the previous week, I realized I left a bunch of shit in the car that i bought on 8/11. Somehow, I didn't notice it that weekend, or 8/14 when I dropped my car off. I got my car, then did a bit of shopping. I then stopped at my parents's house just long enough to eat something I bought. I wanted to get over to the Chase bank before it closed at 5. Since my credit card bill hadn't come, I needed to find out how much it was. I wanted to pay for it, and pay for the repairs and rental in advance. When I got there, there was a couple in the foyer using the atm, and another guy. I tried the door, and it was locked. The guy said he was there to install new computers, and nobody told him they were closed. We waited quite a while. After 430, we both left. I drove around the building, and there were no other cars parked. I then went over to the AT&T store to pay my bill. I asked a worker how much it was. Apparently, I wasn't compensated for my service being out. He said he couldn't give me any discount, even though another worker previously sounded like he said he could. This worker told me to call customer support. Since I wasn't able to get either thing taken care of, I decided to take off from work om Tue for half the day. I called the bank, and they said they closed early due to the air conditioning going out. I then called the Chase credit card # and got my bill amount. I then called AT&T, and they took $30 off. When I was getting ready to leave, I saw the mail came, and I got both of those bills. I then went over to Chase. I gave the girl my check. She said she couldn't process it because the charges from the previous day hadn't gone through. She gave me the check back, and told me to come back net Mon and pay. I did pay my AT&T bill. I eventually came home, cleaned my car, and did my laundry.
On Fri, I decided to work from home. I hooked up the work laptop and turned it on. When I tried to login to the network, the window said there was no network connection. I had just used the internet on my own 'puter. I turned off the router/modem and the computer, and turned both back on. I tried the network again, and still nothing. I turned my own computer on, and could get online. O the work 'puter, I blew into the ethernet jack. I licked the end of the ethernet cable, dried it off, and blew on it. I plugged it in, and made sure it was all the way in. I was finally able to login to the network.
I also had some grocery shopping issues Thu/Fri, but I won't detail them.
I can now get to the food.
Sat: Instead of having sweet stuff, I decided to make popcorn. I made a ton. I put canola oil and black pepper on it. It was good.
I had some salami.
My "meal" was ~half a 12oz box of oyster crackers. They were food.
Sun: I finished the salmi.
My meal was just 2 things. One was a bag of store-brand kettle chips. They were the Salt & Vinegar flavor. They were good. The other item was a can of corned beef from ALDI. I took it out of the fridge. It seemed to taste a lot better than other times I've had it.
Mon: At night, I opened up a new package of salami.
When I was at my parents's house, I had a bunch of toasted ravioli I bought from the hot case of a grocery store. They were good.
Later, I had some stuff I got at Arby's. One thing was a 3 piece of their Hushpuppy Breaded Fish Strips. Even though they weren't very warm, they were very good. Even so, I prob won't get then again because they are $$$. I also had 2 reubens I had coupons for. They seemed to taste a lot better than other times I've had them.
Late at night, I had a wheel of queso fresco from ALDI. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. It was good. Again, I could taste the milk.
Tue: I had nothing.
Wed: I had some salami.
My first snack was a can of fried onions from ALDI. They were good. I can't remember if I thought they were salty. My second snack was a can of Northern Catch oysters with chili pepper. They were good. My third snack was a bag of Corn Nuts. They were the Original(plain) variety. They were good.
For my meal, the first thing I had was a bag of Tapatio puffs. They were good. I also had a box of Chicken in a Biskit crackers. They were good. I had a can of ALDI stuffed grape leaves. They were good. My meat item was a 16oz package of sliced chicken from ALDI. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
Thu: I had some salami.
I got my meal at Little Caesars. I had 2 thin crust pizzas. I heated them up in the oven for 15 min at 400F. They were good.
Fri: I had some salami.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it around 1235am during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
I got my second snack from the cold case of a grocery store. It was tortellini salad. I took it out of the fridge. It was good. I had it at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
I got my third snack from the hot case of the same grocery store. It was onion rings. I heated them up for a total of 50 sec at full power. They were good. I had them during the 330am rebroadcast of TMZ.
I had an extra snack. It was popcorn. I put canola oil and black pepper on it. It was good. I had it at 1230pm.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic variety. They were good. I had them around 11pm. I had them at that time because it took me a long time to look at Nextdoor earlier.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb. I finished one jar of pb and opened another. The one I finished was a store-brand "No Stir" creamy. It was good. I think it's supposed to be the "natural" variety.
I had some of the marshmallows. They were good. I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had some of the graham crackers. They were good. I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had some of the dark/reg chocolate covered almonds. They were good. I had the last of the ALDI pudding cups. It was good.
I opened my next package of cookies. They are pecan shortbread from ALDI. I had them off the shelf. They were good.
I opened a new Little Debbie box. It is Fancy Cakes. I had 1 package. There are 2 to a package. I took them off the shelf. They were good.
I also had a beverage. It was another bottle from WBC. It was called Spicy Ginger. I guess it's some form of ginger ale. It was good. There was spiciness. Real ginger is a bit spicy, so I'm guessing that's where it comes from. Like the root beer I had previously, it didn't seem that carbonated. Before I opened it, the bottle was hard. I don't think I lost a bunch of the carbonation because when I opened it, it just made a quick hiss.
I also did an experiment. I made another attempt at making smores. I took a graham cracker rectangle and split it into 2 squares. I put some chocolate chips on one square, and four marshmallows on the other. I heated them up for 30 sec at full power. The marshmallows puffed up, and the cc looked like they were getting a bit soft. I then tried cooking this for another 30 sec. I turned away from the microwave for a few sec. When I turned back around, there were "fumes" coming from the microwave. When I looked inside, it looked like the graham crackers were burning. I opened the door to stop it. I saw that where the marshmallow gc was burning, the marshmallow above it had burnt. The cc gc had also burnt some. The gc seemed to have melted, because I had to peel them off the glass "platter" to get them out. I put the two halves together, and let them cool a bit. The burnt parts had a corresponding burnt taste. The rest was ok. I wish I had noted what I did in terms of the microwave the first time I tried. I have some cc left, so I think I'm going to try a 3rd time. I think I'll just cook the marshmallows and cc, then take them out and put on the gc.
Now my kitchen has some burnt smell near the microwave, which was less than when it first happened. And the microwave itself still stinks inside.
That is all for the food. I know what I'm having for my "Sat" "meal", and Sun's.
Next week is the Labor Day weekend. I'm planning on having the 2 special meals I didn't have 2 weeks ago. Two of the planned meals are experiments.
It is 319pm as I post this SNL was the Pablo Pascal/Coldplay episode. I only watched Weekend update. I got one of my sweet items ready for later. I then sat down to eat my croutons. After that, I moved my chair and started typing. I went in at 2am to take my nap. I got up at 3 to watch the TMZ weekend edition. Since I ate the croutons late, I decided to have my sweet stuff after TMZ. I felt drowsy when it was on, so I didn't type. I eventually fell asleep. I woke up at 429. I then got up and got my food. I then sat down to eat. I did more eating than typing. I forget when I got done. I think after I got done eating, I did resume typing. I think a bit after 7, I eventually got up and put my food stuff away. I then took a big dump. I then did some other stuff, then went and took my 8am nap. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I was drowsy, and fell asleep. I woke up a few min before 10. I think I sat and just watched This Week. I know I was looking up stuff online some time between then and 1130(for This Week, Washington Week, and the local show). At 1130am, I did my Sun reading. Some time after 1, I got up and did some things, then sat down to start typing again. I put on MTP online to "watch" while typing. I then Have Face The Nation on. I was looking at some stuff about Whitesnake(see below), and didn't pay attention to FTN, so "rewinded" part of it.
Here is my other stuff. First, I want to congratulate the Spanish team for winning the Women's World Cup, and especially Olga Carmona for scoring the only goal, even though she's the one who scored the winning goal against Sweden. I also want to send her my condolences because her dad died before the match. To be less of a downer, she is very cute, though her alveolar ridges protrude a bit. I found a pic via Google from Instagram of her in a bikini. OH MY FUCKING GOD SHE'S HOT!!!!!!!!!!!! She also has some attractive teammates. Salma Paralluelo is the black girl. Esther Gonzalez is the one I think is the one that looks a bit like Sweden's Asllani. Rounding out the list is Aitana Bonmati. They beat England. The 2 players from England that are attractive are Chloe Kelly and Greenwood.
Like I said above, I'm "watching" MTP online while typing. They had that Indian guy, Viviek ?, on there. He said Trump is the best pres during the past 23yrs. That is a giant pile of bullshit. He was also shooting out other verbal diarrhea.
The Wagner Group leader died in a plane crash. Everybody that is not brain dead(nor possible Trumptards) know it was not an accident. This guy was also a ruthless evildoer. The reason why people were cheering for him when he attempted a coup was that he is not Putin. He might've been the lesser of 2 evils. Maybe if he took over, he would've ended the Ukraine war. Also maybe would stop persecuting LGBT people. He seemed like he was more money-driven, as opposed to Putin's desire to reform the USSR.
The grim reaper was unusually busy this week. The big one was yesterday in Bob Barker. He was the original host of The Price is Right. He was 99. He was yest another person who didn't reach 100. Also, Arleen Sorkin died yesterday. She was the inspiration for the Batman character Harley Quinn, and voiced her in the cartoon. I remember her being co-host(with Dave Coulier) of America's Funniest People. I remember her in an ice skater outfit, and DC lifting her up, causing the "cooch cover" part of her pantyhose to show. In music, guitarist Bernie Marsden died. I don't know if he is better known in England, where he's from. He was one of the original members of Whitesnake, and played on the first 5 albums. This includes the original version of Here I Go Again, but he didn't appear in the music video. In wresting, Terry Funk died. I remember his name, but can't recall seeing any matches. Also, Rotunda Windham died due to having a heart attack due to covid-related heart damage. He is better known as Bray Wyatt/The Fiend. This really sucks, because he had returned to WWE, and was on Smackdown. The promos he did where he sounded like he was just being himself and not a character were awesome. There was a LOT of stuff about him on Smackdown on Fri.
That is all. See you next week.

On Aug11, I went to the thrift stores in Blue Springs, Independence, and my former town.
The first major thing I want to mention is that I did not visit the thrift store near the dealership. On that day, I was stressed out, and forgot about it. I was going to go when I finally picked my car up, but I forgot again, and I was really running late anyway. Hopefully, I won't be back until Feb.
I recall one place having 2 compound bows. I think it was the Independence Red Racks.
As I have done before, I'll just omit places where I didn't see anything.
The first place was the gun shop near the dealership. I did not see the giant German Sheppard this time. There was an SKS or 2. There was also an AK-47. I don't recall if it was a traditional wood, or synthetic. There was a bullpup configuration rifle. I don't know if it was a Steyur AUG. There was a MAC-10 style gun. There were 2 guns that looked like an MP5, one of them being "stubby". There was a TEC-9. They also had a bunch of those modern shotguns.
The next place to mention was the pawn shop. When I got there, it was closed, even though it was after the opening time on the door. The guns were gone, to prevent theft. I was only able to see in to what they had in terms of guitars. Some of these might have been the same from Feb, but I obviously couldn't tell. I think the Squier Mustang was still there. There was a Gretsch singlecut, which is prob their alternative to an LP. There was a Samick Greg Bennett lp. I think the one I saw had 4 knobs, and one there previously had 2 knobs. There was looked to be an 8 string guitar, of which there was one in Feb. There was also a guitar with a hh pu config.
My next place of mention was Red Racks. There was a piano. There was also a mini reel to reel tape recorder.
Next was Thrift World. There was a kiddie kb. There was a vinyl floor kb. There was also a Yamaha E203 from the PSR series. I also bought something there that was not music-related.
The next stop was the Salvation Army. There were 4 guitars in a shopping cart. There were 2 Ibanez acoustics, and an Epiphone one. There was also a Kramer Focus 111S strat. This model has different places of manufacture, and different prices. I didn't know any of that about this guitar.
I then went to Red Racks. There was a flute. There was a mandolin with no strings. There was also a classical guitar. I can't remember if it had strings.
My next stop was the 24 Hwy thrift shop. There was an organ. I couldn't see what brand. It might have been the same one from before.
I then went to my former town. I visited places in a different order than normal, due to me wanting to get home sooner.
My first stop was the thrift store where I know the mgr. There was a Technobeat kb.
The next stop was Hillcrest. They also had a Technobeat. There was a kiddie drumset. There was also a kb with the brand name of "Media".
I then went to the music store. The main item of interest was a reissue Prophet 5. The sound it was set to sounded like Man on the Corner by Genesis, so I tried playing that. Even though I don't know how to, I did a good attempt. They had a Nord Grand and A1. They had what I think were a CK61 and CK88 from Yamaha. For guitars, it looked like they had the same, or similar, stuff as in Feb. There were also a used Peavey Nightbass and SWR bass heads.
At Savers, there was an Oscar Schmidt autoharp that I recall them wanting too much for.
My last stop was Goodwill, where I picked up 2 more things that I don't feel like mentioning.

Hello. It is 1205am as I start this. It was another shitty week. The worst day was Thu. When I was out shopping, my ocd was majorly kicking in. Also, it affected my meal, which I'll mention later. There was some ocd stuff on Fri. I'll touch on a bit of that later also. There was other stuff, but I can't remember.
There was something else from last week I forgot. I think it was on Wed, that I went into the office to work. I've had to take a previous exit than the one I usually use due to all the approach stuff from the new bridge being built. When I reached the exit, it was also closed. I drove on, and took the next exit. I got onto the road and turned around. I got back on the interstate, and was able to exit to the other interstate I would originally take. I'm actually thinking this detour may actually be faster than the one I was using, or the one I originally used when that exit was closed due to other construction.
I will get to my meal now.
Sat: I had some salami.
My "meal" was ~half a 12oz box of oyster crackers. I had some plain, but most with canola oil. They were all good. That was the last of the oc. I don't think I mentioned I got the 3 boxes because they were clearing them out for $0.50 each.
Sun: I finished the salami.
My meal was one I had before. I had a box of Cheez-It crackers. They were the Hot & Spicy variety. They were good. They seemed to taste a lot better than other times I've had them. I had a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. They were good. I had a bag of store-brand shredded mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. My meat item was a can of Treet. I took it out of the fridge. It was good.
There was some good news in that I didn't have to run to the toilet to do hot diarrhea. That means the FHC did not affect me. Apparently, there is something different in the DT and SAL ones that does.
Mon: I didn't have anything except meal prep nibbling.
Tue: My first snack was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good. My second snack was a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I didn't eat them right away, so I don't know if the liquid gooified. My third snack was a bag of the El Sabroso guacamole chips. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it using healthy method the day before. I forgot to use the leftover pasta water/goo. I took it out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in "Extra Virgin Olive Oil". I took them off the shelf. While they were good, I didn't notice any difference in taste between this and the regular oil. I still have one more can of this, and the Mediterranean, flavor.
I didn't have any hot poo the next morning, so I think the AC are safe.
Wed: Again, I had some of the rice mix I set aside in a different container to have Wed. I took it out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items, no combos.
Thu: My first snack was a bag of El Sabroso Tapatio puffs. They were good.
My second snack was 4 flautas from Walmart. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good.
I got my meal at Burger King. I decided to use the one right off the interstate to save some time. That was a big mistake. First, a girl doing the drive thru dropped a fry container on the floor. Later, the guy who took my order picked it up without washing his hands. Then, he had his hands all over the place. That was the ocd issue. Apparently, when he took my order, he fucked it up by adding 2 extra sandwiches. The manger had to take them out of the bags and pull the ones I didn't want. He also had to redo my bill.
When I got home, I had to wash off all the wrappers.
When it was time to eat, I put the sandwiches in the oven for 10 min at 400F.
Then was the 3rd problem. What I ordered was: BBQ Bacon Whopper Jr Bacon & Swiss Whopper Jr Original Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich Spicy Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich Honey Mustard Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich Bacon & Swiss Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich
For the Whopper Jr ones, they tasted alike, which makes me think I got 2 of the Bacon & Swiss. Maybe the mgr took the BBQ out by mistake. The Original and Spicy also seemed alike, as were the Bacon & Swiss and Honey Mustard pair. While it could be that the mgr also accidentally took one of the worng chicken sandwiches, each of those pairs are almost identical, so maybe they were correctr, but I just couldn't taste them.
As for the taste, they were all good. I am not sure I want to do a redo because this meal was $$$$. If the chicken sandwiches are a limited-time offer, I might try again if they come back next year.
One last item. The Honey Mustard replaces the Italian version.
The next morning, I had to do a hot liquid poo. I'm thinking it was due to the Tapatio puffs. If so, that is another item I apparently can't eat anymore.
Fri: This was my first special meal of the Labor Day weekend. I went to the grocery store I go to on most Fri, and went to the hot/cold case.
I had intended to get a large container of egg salad. There was an issue. The es was not shitty. They were not out. Instead, they just had a tiny container of es, and it wasn't even totally full. Needless to say, I didn't get it.
I was also hoping to get shrimp. They didn't have any. I forget if they ran out, or didn't have any.
I got different stuff instead. I got a medium container of tortellini salad, even though I got some the previous week. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I got a large container of potatoes and veggies, which I've reviewed in my Mar6 post. I heated this up in the microwave. It was good. I also had 4 pieces of breaded swai. I heated them up in the microwave. While they were good, they were salty. It seems like I can only have 1 or 2 pieces before the saltiness gets annoying.
If I had known about the es sitiuation, I would've gotten some last week instead of the ts. If they had chicken tenders on sale this week, I would've gotten a ton of those.
Also, unless I heard wrong, I may have somehow been overcharged.
Sat: This was an experiment. I took 2 eggplants I got at WM, and cut them lengthwise after cutting the stem tops off. I made a mock up of putting the ep in my large casserole dish in layers. I then rubbed the inside of the dish with canola oil. I put the first layer down. I opened a 2lb container of Gallbani ricotta. I coated the ep with it. I then put the second layer of ep down, then coated that with ricotta. I then put the top layer of ep on. There was one slice of ep left. I put ricotta on that, and put it ricotta side down on the rest of the ep. There was still some ricotta left, so I put little spots of it on top of the ep. I then drizzled canola oil on top of all this. I then covered the dish with aluminum foil.
I set the oven to 350F. I put the dish in. After 30 min, I opened the oven and turned the dish 180. After another 30 min, I opened the oven, and took the foil off. There was a lot of liquid, which was bubbling. I turned the dish 90. I set the oven to 400F, and set the microwave timer to 10 min. The oven hit 400 after about 3 min. When the 10 min elapsed, I took the dish out. I let it cool off a bit.
As for the taste, it was good. I tasted the eggplant more than the ricotta. I don't know where all the liquid came from. I spooned it on top of the pieces I cut out of the dish. I tried some alone, which was good.
It seemed to cut into pieces in the dish easier as it got cooler. Maybe I should've let it sit for a long time to really cool off before I started eating.
I was able to eat the whole thing. I didn't feel stuffed until I drank a bunch of water afterward.
I just wanted to mention the ricotta for a bit. Like I said, the brand was Gallbani. When I took it out of the fridge, I tried some. It was so good, that I thought it was a shame to use it as I did. It actually had a nice cheese taste. I got it on sale. If it goes on sale again, I'm going to buy a container. I'll just eat it out of the container.
That's it for the food. The main part of my meal tonight will be stuff I've already had. The sides will be stuff I haven't had before. Tomorrow will be my last holiday meal. The main part will be an experiment. The side will be something I've had before, but never cooked.
It is 1137pm as I post this. SNL was the Keke Palmer/SZA episode, even though zap2it said it was the Quinta Brunson/Lil Yachty one, which was on 2 weeks ago. I was hoping to watch the CBS affiliate's 10pm news, which was delayed due to college football. Football(NFL and college) games always run over. There was a 78 min delay due to lightning, then the game went to overtime, so it ended really late. I wanted to watch Weekend Update. Due to channel surfing, I missed the start of WU. I was waiting to watch WU and the news before I got up. I got up and did some stuff, including getting the big casserole dish out. I then started typing. A bit after 130am, I went and made my meal. While it was in the oven, I did do some typing. I started eating after 3. I got done after 4. Some time after 430, I fell asleep. I woke up after 6. I then got up to put the stuff away. A gnat or fruit fly was fucking around on my plate(there was no food left on it), so I was to wash it. I then put stuff away, and went to my bed to sleep. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I still felt drowsy, so I fell asleep. I did the wake up/sleep thing. I finally woke up around 1130. I turned my chair to the typing position, but did my reading. I can't remember if I got my reading done yet, but I had to take a dump. When I was done with it and other stuff, I sat back down. I forget if I needed to finish my reading. When I did resume typing, I "watched" MTP and Washington Week online. When WW ended, a bit after 230pm, I looked at my email, then Nextdoor. I then took a nap in my bed at 5, and got up for 7. I watched 3 episodes of FOX cartoons that I needed to watch again due to glitching. I then called my mon. She had to hang up because my dad spilled his ice all over the floor. She called back at 930. While I was waiting for her, I went to Nextdoor and unmuted a person I accidentally muted. I think I got off the phone around 10. I watched the news, and was looking at Yahoo! News. I then was looking at the wall, and saw there was a big cricket on it. I got up and killed it. I then got stuff in the kitchen ready for later. I'll have an item within that that I will bring up next week. I then sat down around 1040pm. I did my gas bill. I then put Face The Nation on the computer, and resumed typing.
Last week, there were so many deaths, I left one out. That is Hersha Parady. She played Merlin Olsen's wife on Little House on the Prairie. I don't remember her, except for the episode where her and Mary's baby died in a fire that her son and Albert accidentally set by smoking a pipe.
This week, there were 2 notable deaths. Bill Richardson was in politics, including as gov of New Mexico, and US ambassador to the UN. The other was Jimmy Buffet. His most famous song was Margaritaville. The timing of his death is ironic due to his other major hit, Come Monday.
I guess I'll talk about some political shit for a few min. A bit earlier, Niki Haley was on FTN. I caught her dig at Biden when she mentioned grandchildren. She knows that he was just not acknowledging the one granddaughter. I also saw some footage of Vivek Ramasamy saying he would pardon Trump to bring the nation back together. That would only shut the red hat retard brigade up. A better way may be the new strain of covid that has been on the news.
I think that is all I have, so I will go. I should be back next week.

Hello, it is 1209am as I start this. This was another shitty week. I can't recall much. There was a fly in my car when I was shopping on Thu. There was also an ocd incident, which I'll mention on its respective day.
I did have a case of the burps that I recall starting Thu nigh, and lasting until Sat.
I left out something from last week. When I was at the store where I intended to get egg salad, I saw another worker drop something on the floor. I think it was a lid, but not 100% sure. I saw her pick the item up, but not wash her hands. I saw her put a container back with the others. It's possible that the container was what was dropped, which would be even worse.
Let me get to the food now.
Sun: The main part of my meal was a package of Matlaw stuffed crabs and Matlaw stuffed clams. They were good.
I got 2 of my sides from the h/n/o store. They were Samosas from a company called Deep Indian Kitchen. One was Potato & Pea, and the other was Chili Paneer. They each came with 2 packets of chutney. I opened 1 from each box. It seemed they tasted the same. I tried both types of samosas with both packets. The samosas were good plain and with both chutneys.
I also had a can of Pringles. They were the Original(aka plain) variety. They were good plain and with both chutneys.
Mon: This was the last of my Labor Day meals.
My side was a bag of frozen cream cheese jalapeno poppers from Save A Lot. They were good.
My main item was an experiment. On Jul18, I made a "curry" sauce that I had on hotdogs. See my Jul23 post for the recipe. The next day, I made a larger batch and put it in the freezer. I thawed it out. I cut up 2 12oz packages of Bar-S hotdogs, and put them in the double boiler pot. I then dumped in the sauce and mixed it up. I heated this up. It was good.
Tue: I didn't have anything.
Wed: This week, instead of a package of salami from ALDI to snack on, I opened a 16oz package of Black Forest Ham from Save A Lot. It was good.
My first snack was a bag of Corn Nuts. They were the Chile Picante Con Limon variety. They were good. My second snack was a can of Northern Catch smoked oysters in oil. They were good. I took them off the shelf. My third snack was a bag of hot cheetos from Save A Lot. They were good. There was heat.
My meal was intended to be smaller, due to me having my regular big meal Thu. But it didn't turn out that way.
My meat item was a 16oz package of Smoked Honey Turkey from Save A Lot. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. I had a 10oz wheel of queso fresco from ALDI. It was ok. I took it out of the fridge when I took out the meat. I had a bag of El Sabroso guacamole chips. They were good. I had a jar of Specially Selected Herb Cheese Stuffed Peppers from ALDI. They were good. I took it off the shelf. This ad week, 8oz packages of sliced mushrooms from ALDI are on sale for $0.99 each. I bought 2. I had some plain from each package. They were good. I fried the rest in canola oil. I just ate them like that. They were good.
The next morning, I woke up with ass pressure. I had to take a dump. Even though it was prob due to the cheetos, it wasn't very hot.
Thu: I had some of the black forest ham.
My snack was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
I got my meal from Arby's, and 2 different Burger King locations. I heated everything up in the microwave before I ate.
I first did a redo of the 2/$5 Whopper Jr deal I had last week. I got the BBQ Bacon and Bacon & Swiss. Again, they were good. And again, they were almost identical. I forget if I could tell the B&S due to the cheese.
I then had the 2 wraps from Arby's. I first had the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wrap. I then had the Crispy Chicken Club Wrap. They were both good.
I then had the 3 BK chicken wraps. I don't know what order I had them in. I think they wrote stuff on the actual wrappers, but see the next paragraph about that. They were good. I don't know if I will have them again. They were $2.99 each. They are VERY small. In the commercial, they look much bigger. They must use kids for their hands, and also hold them at the very bottom.
I have a story regarding the BK Royal Crispy Wraps. I got these at the first BK I visited. One of the workers doing the register and drive thru knocked a fry container on the floor. The other worker doing the same stuff picked it up. Not only did she not wash her hands, she put the dirty container on the fry holder. I didn't see if she touched the part of the container that touched the floor or not, but the whole ordeal was still nasty. When I got home, I washed the wrappers off. I then put the wraps themselves in old Subway wrappers. This was to prevent them from sticking to the wrappers.
Fri: I had some of the black forest ham.
I had some shredded wheat. I had it with the rest of the oil from the jar of ALDI Specially Selected Garlic Stuffed Peppers
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Buter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it at 1235am during one station's rebroadcast of their 10pm news.
I got my second snack at McDonald's. I got 2 Big Mac burgers. I heated them in the microwave before I ate. They were good. I had them at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of their 10pm news.
I have a story on the McD's. They are running a promo that if the KC Chiefs get a sack, BM are bogo. They played on Thu, and did get a sack. I decided to get the BM. I went to the one near where I got my third snack. When I got there, there were a lot of people standing around. A guy was at the counter. A worker asked if he placed his order at the diy kiosks. He said no. She said he had to use the kiosks. I don't like that shit, so I left. I went to another McD's, which is part of a convenience store. I got my BM with no problems. I then took my car to the gas pumps and got some gas.
I got my third snack at the grocery store at the edge of the 'hood. I was originally going to get seafood salad at the seafood counter. When I got there, there was nobody there. I was willing to wait, but then I saw flies buzzing around. I left there, and went over to the deli/cold/hot case. They have a version of seafood salad, but it is more $ than the seafood counter stuff($9.99/lb vs $5.99/lb). I got some. They also had catfish "chips"(small thin pieces of breaded catfish), which I got a few of.
When it was time to eat, I heated the cc in the microwave, which didn't take very long. I took the ss out of the fridge. As for the taste, the cc weren't bad. I think if I had more, I'd have a better ability to rate them. As for the ss, it was ok. I think the version at the seafood counter is better. I had these at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Classic Caesar variety. They were good. I had them around 11pm. That's because I wanted to do some stuff earlier after looking at Nextdoor, and wanted to take my nap at 8pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff I started with cereal and pb. I finished one box of cereal and opened another. The one I finished was Krave; the Chocolate variety. It wasn't bad.
I had some of the store-brand marshmallows. They were good. I had some of the ALDI pecan shortbread cookies. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I had a package of LD Fancy Cakes. They were good. I took them out of the fridge.
I finished quite a few things, which is what this paragraph is for. I had the Great Value coconut. It was good. I had the graham crackers. They were good. I had the store-brand milk chocolate chips. They were good. I had the regular/dark almonds from the h/n/o store. They were good.
Because I finished some things, I opened 2 others. One was a bag of store-brand semi-sweet chocolate chips. They were good. I took them off the shelf. Because they are s-s, they is a tiny bit of bitterness. I also opened a jar of Planters peanuts. They were the Honey Roasted variety. They were good, even though I don't recall tasting the honey.
I also opened an item I've had before, but a new brand. It was a pudding cup from Snack Pack. It was good. It tasted just like the other brands. This time, I took it out of the fridge. If you've encountered these pudding packs, they come in pairs attached to each other. When I was tearing this pair in half, it didn't cleanly go on the seam. It looked like the one I used had the pudding part open up. I put both of them in the fridge in case there was an opening in either. I squeezed the other one, and there seemed to be to breach, but I'm still keeping it in the fridge. I didn't squeeze the one I ate. When I was done with that one, I put the container on my mouth and blew into it. No air came out. I can feel there is a break, but it seems the plastic split in a parallel layered manner as opposed to a vertical opening manner.
I also made another attempt at s'mores. I took the "lid" from an old Michelina's entre box and put it upside down in the microwave. I put some of the cc on it. I cooked them for a bit. I then put 4 marshmallows on the lid, and cooked everything. The marshmallows puffed up, but then deflated once the microwave stopped. I put the cc and marshmallows on one half of a graham cracker, and put the other half on top. the lid appears to have some kind of plastic wrap type stuff as a liner. The marshmallows stuck to it. It looks like the cc caused it to melt. I don't know if the plastic was on the cc. As for the taste, it was good. I don't know if I'll make another attempt. I have an idea using the stove instead of the microwave.
I had some of the black forest ham.
My "meal" was a box of Triscuit crackers. They were the Garden Herb variety. They were good. I opened the box after 530pm. Since I wanted to take a nap at 6, I didn't finish the whole box. I did so after I got up.
That's it for the food. I know what I'm having for my Sun meal. It was delayed due to my car issues, but is not a special meal.
It is 1142pm as I post this. SNL was the Molly Shannon/Jonas Brothers episode. I only watched Weekend Update. I think I got done with my mom on the phone after 1030. I then got some stuff ready for later. I then ate my croutons. After that, I turned my chair to the typing position. Before I started typing this, I typed an email to my brother about a movie I watched while eating my Wed meal. I'll discuss that in a few min. Since I had my croutons late, and the TMZ weekend edition wasn't on, I decided to watch Forged in Fire at 2, and keep on typing until 3. I then went in to take my nap. I got up at 4 for Washington Week. I just ate, and didn't type. I forget when I got done. I watched some of the local 5am news, but fell asleep. I forget when I got up. I think I put stuff away. Then I did some stuff, then took my nap from 8-9 to get up for Meet The Press. My alarm went off, and I woke up, but I fell asleep again. I woke up after 930. I went in and turned the tv on. I didn't fall asleep, but I didn't feel like typing. I finally moved the chair and resumed typing around 1030am. I stopped a bit after 1130, and did my reading. I took a lot of breaks to watch Pawn Stars(RIP "Old Man"). After I finished my regular reading, I started reading the recap of Smackdown on TJRWrestling. After 3, I looked at my email, then Nextdoor. After that, I ate most of my Triscuits. I then spent a few min on something else, then took my nap at 6. I got up for 8. I watched Bob's Burgers and Family Guy because there was glitching the first time they were on. There was no glitching this time. I then restarted my computer, and did some stuff in the kitchen. Around 920pm, I called my mom. I forget when I got done. I think I looked at something on Yahoo! News, then resumed typing while the news was on. I watched 3 different stations for their 10pm news due to football games running long. I now have Face The Naton on the computer while typing.
Here is the other stuff time. The only celebrity death I'll mention is Gary Wright. He is most famous for his song Dream Weaver. He had another song called My Love Is Alive. He also played keyboards on George Harrison's albums. I'll assume that includes the electric piano through a phaser on Crackerbox Palace.
One of our local news reporters has been missing off tv for quite a while. I looked online, and she has apparently quit tv. She is very attractive. I wanted to ask her when she went to college, because she went to the same one I did.
The last thing I wanted to talk about was the movie I mentioned above. It is called 1990: The Bronx Warriors. The last time I had seen it(not the whole thing) was in the early 80's at my neighbor's house because he had cable. Because it was on cable, they didn't edit out the language. I remembered the lines "Manhattan pussy" and "shit out of somebody's asshole" for ~40 yrs. This time I watched the whole thing. It was bad. I can only recommend watching it if you are doing a movie night with a bad movie theme. There is some good news about it. There was a blond woman whose name was Witch. I was unsure if she was actually a woman, or a transvestite or transsexual, which wouldn't have been odd for this movie. Her face looked a bit masculine, even though it was attractive, and she was flat-chested. After the movie, I did a Google search, and indeed she was a genetic woman. She was on the Italian Olympic swim team, and she was a model. She has that tall, thin, athletic body type that accounts for her look.
I'll go now.

Hello. It is 1120pm as I start this. It was another crappy week. I can't recall most of the stuff. I know I had the burps Fri and Sat. I'm supposed to take vitamin d tablets, but when I was looking at Walmart, almost all of them were vitamin d3. I need to call the dr's office to ask about that. I was also at WM looking for some other stuff. There was a very lardassed woman on a scooter blocking where I needed to look. She was yapping about some other bs with her son. She finally moved her fat ass out of the way so I could get what I needed. This morning, I took a nap at 230am. I set my alarm to get up at 330, but when I woke up, it was an hr later. The alarm was on, and I didn't fuck up the am/pm stuff, so I don't know what happened.
I think I'll get to the food now,
Sun: I finished the Save A Lot ham. It was good, but tasted a bit off, also, it smelled funny inside the package. I had the burps real bad last week. I wonder if there was bacteria on the ham that caused it. At least that would mean my burps are caused by bacteria. I recall when I had to take antibiotics before I got my root canal stuff done, it was quite a while before the burps came back.
The main part of my meal was 3 cans of beef stew from Dollar Tree. It was good. It was not too salty.
My snack item was a bag of Lay's chips. They were the Chile Limon variety. They were good. I think there was a bit of heat.
Mon: The only thing I ate was meal prep related nibbling.
Tue: I had a new meat item to snack on. I bought a different type of salami from ALDi. It was Italian Dry Salami. It was the Spicy variety. While it tasted good, I was a bit distracted by the texture. I think that's where the "dry" part comes in. There is a bit of heat, but I recall it being delayed.
I also had some shredded wheat with oil from the jar of Specially Selected Herb Cheese Stuffed Peppers from ALDI.
My first snack was the last can of ALDI fried onions. They were good. My second snack was a Big Mama pickled sausage. It was good. My last snack was a bag of Tapatio puffs. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it using the healthy method. When I added the spices...., I also added the last of the pasta water/goo. I also used an 8oz package of sliced mushrooms from ALDI. Before I added them, I cut them up a bit more. I ate a few pieces, which were good. I added the mushrooms right before I added the rice. Since I made this on Mon, I took it out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines. They were the Mediterranean variety. I took them off the shelf. They were good. That was my last can of those.
Wed: I had the container of rice mix I had set aside, as I have been doing the past few weeks. It was good. I had it plain and with my 3 items, but no combos. I took it out of the fridge.
Thu: I had some more of the salami
I had some shredded wheat. I had it with the rest of the oilk= in the pepper jar, and some canola oil.
My snack was a bag of WM funyuns. They were good.
I got my meal at Little Caesars. I got an order of Italian Cheese Bread. I also got a 4-Quarter Calzony. This is a variation of the Craxy Calzony where they put a type of meat(sausage, peperoni, ham, bacon) in each "calzone" part, and all 4 on the pizza part. I heated both items up in the oven for 15min at 400F. The 4QC came with a container of marina sauce. I had with the ICB, the 4 calzone parts, and the pizza part. All the stuff was good, both plain and with the sauce. The order I had the calzone parts was: ham bacon sausage peperoni I was skeptical about the ham, since I've never had it on pizza, I was surprised that it tasted good. I felt the same way about the bacon, even though I do like it more than ham.
There were 2 negatives. Both items cooled off quickly, which I've encountered before. The other was the cutting. They did not do a good job of cutting the ICB. When I opened the 4QC, it was not cut at all. I got up and went to the kitchen. I brought back my pizza cutter. I cut each calzone part of the 4QC off, but didn't cut them in half. like they're supposed to do. I cut the pizza part into 4 squares, as it should be. For some reason, I didn't cut the ICB at all.
When I was close to getting done, I was starting to feel stuffed. I'm thinking I shouldn't have had the shredded wheat and/or the funyuns.
Fri: I had some off the salami.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had it with canola oil. It was good. I had it at 1235am during one station's rebroadcast of their 10pm news.
I got my second snack at Arby's. It was the Big Game Burger. I think they said it was new, but I think they've had it before. Either way, it is a limited-time item. Before I ate it, I warmed it up in the microwave. It was good. The patty was pink in the middle, which usually means it wasn't fully cooked. This was very $$$$, so I won't get it again. I had it at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of their 10pm news.
I got my third snack at Jimmy John's. It was the new Tuscan Italian Wrap. I did not heat it up before I ate it. It was good. Like the others I had, it was very $$$$ for the price. I will prob not have it again due to this. Like I said at the beginning, I slept an hr past the rebroadcast of TMZ. That's when I was going to have it. Since I got up late, I waited until 5am to eat it, because one station had their local Sat morning news on then.
My last snack was a bag of croutons for Dollar Tree. They were the Seasoned variety. I first had about half of them plain. They were ok. I had the rest with canola oil, which was a bit better. I had these a bit after 7pm.
You may be wondering why I had these instead of the ALDI ones. The ones from ALDI jumped in price to $1.25, which is the same as the DT ones. The tiebreaker was that the DT ones now have 6oz in a bag. The ALDI ones, and others have only 5oz.
That's it for the food. I'll have my sweet stuff in about an hr. I know what I'm having later.
It is 252am as I post this. SNL was the the Ana de Armis/Karol G episode. Due to college football, it started a bit late. I only watched Weekend Update. That started right as I started this, so I stopped typing to watch WU, then resumed when it was done. Let me go back a bit. After I talked to my mom on the phone, I think I watched some tv. I then got up to get stuff ready for later. I turned on Benny Hill. I was watching the Hill's Angels dancing to a cover of Del Shannon's Runaway. Like I said, I resumed typing after WU, and have continued. Since the TMZ weekend edition is not on, I decided to continue until 3, then take my nap.
I can't think of anything I want to talk about here, so I will go.

Hello. It is 1225am as I stat this. It was another crappy week. I forget what day it was, but I was doing major diarrhea. It was due to me having the burps. I think it was Wed actually. I was actually going to start at the beginning of the week. On Sun night, I went to do my electric bill. When I do bills, I also check my monthly bank statement. I was checking the checking account, and it was empty. I didn't know why. I then looked, and there was $500 taken out. I didn't know what that was for. But then I had an idea. I looked at the savings account part, and it said $500 was deposited. I looked at the dates for both. I finally figured out what happened. I had called to have $500 moved into my checking account. The person fucked up, and did the opposite. On Mon, I had to call and have shit straightened out. I also called the dr office about the vitamin d3 issue. The nurse I talked to said it is d3. On Thu, I went to Walmart to get the d3. I found a bottle. I swear the price tag on the holder said it was very cheap. When I checked out, my total was way higher than I thought. This was due to the d3. I should've asked the worker what the d3 cost. I think I'll call on Mon maybe to find out the price. On Fri, I went shopping. The one grocery chain is doing a FSS sale where the store-brand chunky soup is $0.99. I went to one location, and all they had left was vegetable, and 2 other nasty varieties. I went to the customer service counter. I had a worker call the other nearby location to see if they had more kinds on the shelf. The worker was put on hold for WAAAAAAAAAAAY longer than needed. They finally told him they did have quite a few on the shelf. I then went over there and picked some up. I then went over to the Dollar Tree nearby. I was looking for cans of black olives. They didn't have any. If I had got to soup at the first grocery store, I would've visited the DT near that store. Due to the waiting at the first store, I missed the beginning of Entertainment Tonight at 630. I had to watch it when they rebroadcasted it. Another thing about the sale was there is a limit of 2. I had my mom get 2 cans when she went shopping today. Instead of getting 2 of the same kind, she fucked up and got 2 different kinds. That means she needs to go back and exchange 1.
I think that is all, and I can get to the food.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb.
I had some of the Planters peanuts. They were good. I had some of the marshmallows. They were good. I had some of the cinnamon graham crackers. They were good. I had a pudding cup. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I explained that last week. I'm thinking it actually tasted better from the fridge. I had some of the mini chocolate chips. I took them out of the fridge. They were good. I had a package of Little Debbie Fancy Cakes. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had the last of the pecan shortbread cookies from ALDI. They were good. I also took them out of the freezer. I also opened up a package of ALDI coconut. It was good.
I made another attempt at smores. I first put some of the choc chips on a metal spatula. I then turned the stove burner on. I held the spatula over the burner. When the cc looked soft, I put them on the graham cracker half. I then put some marshmallows on the spatula, and held it over the burner. When the marshmallows looked "ready", I put them on the gc half on top of the cc. I then put the other gc half on top. As for the taste, it was good. I consider it a success, so I won't try anymore.
I had some of the salami.
For my "meal", I had a bag of Pretzel Slims(pret chips) from ALDI. They were the original variety. They were good.
Sun: I finished the salami.
My meal was Italian sausage sandwiches. I used a package of hot is from ALDI. I fried it in the cast iron pan with canola oil. I used 3 green peppers. I cut them up and put them in my small casserole dish. I then mixed in some water and canola oil. I cooked this for quite a while. Before I ate, I mixed in the oil/grease left in the pan from the is. I used a bag of wheat sub rolls from WM.
As for the taste, the sandwiches were good. The is itself did taste a bit funny. It had a bit of a chemical taste. There were only 5 sausages, but 6 rolls. For the last roll, I just put green peppers on it. That was good. I recall there being a bit of gp left, which I ate, which were good. I need to give some info. On Wed, I was looking at the grocery ads online. The one for Save A Lot had a sale on gp, which was 2/$1. But, it was only a Fri/Sat sale. I went to a SAL, and got 3 gp. I then went to a WM Market to get the rolls. I was going to get the regular white ones, but they were out. That's why I got the wheat ones. Due to the gp and is, I didn't seem to notice a difference in the rolls.
Mon: I didn't have anything except meal-related nibbling.
Tue: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil.
I opened up a new package of meat to snack on. It was peperoni from ALDI. It was good.
My first snack was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
My second snack was a can of Northern Catch smoked oysters with the hot pepper. They were good.
My third snack was a bag of Deutsche Kuche Potato Sticks. They were the Herbs Of The Alps Style. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it using the healthy method. I made it Mon, so I could take it out of the fridge to eat. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was the last can of Chicken of the Sea sardines. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
I have some extra stuff to say about the rice mix. I think there was quite a bit more than 8oz of peas. That's because I used less last week. The onion was starting to go bad, because it was getting a bit mushy. The cabbage was bad, as it was just a slimy mass. I know it was going bad last week. I can't recall how it was the previous time. I'm thinking that made my case of the burps worse than normal.
Wed: I had the rice mix from the container I had set aside. I took it out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items, but no combos.
Thu: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil.
I had some peperoni.
My snack was 4 flautas from the WM hot case. I warmed them up in the microwave. They were good. For my snack I was originally going to go to Taco Bell to get the Rolled Chicken Tacos, and/or KFC to get their Hot & Spicy Wings. I decided not to get the RCT because I looked here, and saw I've already had them. Also, they do look similar to flautas. I was already going to WM for the vitamin d3, so I decided to see what they had in the hot case. If they didn't have flautas, or anything else I wanted, I prob would've gone to KFC then. I got my meal at Subway. I used a coupon. I got 3. I had them in this order: The Outlaw Subway Club Supreme Meats I had them all on flatbread, and not toasted. Except for that, and using the original provolone on the SC, I had them stock. Each sandwich is supposed to have 2x cheese, but the guy didn't do that.
When it was time to eat, I warmed them up in the microwave. They were all good. I was stuffed afterward, and having discomfort, but I think I drank a bunch of water after I ate. I need to say that basically yhe same thing happened as last time. I went to the first location, and there was a fly buzzing right over the sandwich components, so I went to the other location.
Fri: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil. I bsically finished the sw, since there looks to be just crumbs left in the bag.
I had some peperoni.
For my snacks, I changed stuff up a bit. This is due to something that will happen on Mon. I will discuss it next week.
My first snack was a container of tuna salad I got at the hot/cold case of the store I get stuff at on Fri. It was good. I had it at 1235 during one station's rebroadcast of their 10pm news.
My second snack was a container of cheese tortellini salad I got from the same store. It was good. I had it at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My third snack was a container of crab salad from the same store. It was very good. I had it at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ. It was way better than the stuff I got at the other store. But, like that store, it was $$$$ as fuck. I don't know if I'll get this again.
My last snack was a bag of SAL hot cheetos. They were good, but did not seem to have much heat. I had these a bit after midnight Sat/Sun. I'll mention that later.
As of posting this, I haven't had to run in to take a shit, but I'm having some stomach discomfort.
That's it for the food. I'm not having any snacks or meals Sat or Sun. Again, I'll explain that next week.
It is 1152am Sun as I post this. SNL was the Jenna Ortega/The 1975. I was done talking to my mom around 1040pm. I then got up and was getting some stuff ready for Mon. I sat down after 11. I was going to eat my cheetos, but I wanted to mess with this bump on the back of my head. While I was doing that, I watched Benny Hill, except for when I turned SNL on to watch Weekend Update. A bit after 12, I decided to stop messing with my head, and have my cheetos. When I was done, I moved my chair, and started typing. Since the TMZ weekend edition wasn't on, I kept on typing until 3, then took my nap. I got up at 4, intending to watch Washington Week on PBS. I was still drowsy, so I fell asleep right away. I woke up a couple of times, then fell back asleep. I finally woke up after 730am. I then got up and got into bed to sleep. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I was writing some stuff down I need for Mon. After that, I sat down to resume typing. I've done so through the rest of MTP, the second half of This Week, WW, the local show, and now CSI: Miami.
The first thing I wanted to mention was that British singer Roger Whitaker died. I hadn't heard his stuff for somewhere around 40 yrs, since they don't play it on the radio here. They played it on the easy listening station in Chicago, which my parents would listen to. I've always remembered the chorus to Durham Town, even though as a kid, I didn't hear it correctly. I also recalled another song of his where he sings "you are beautiful", but didn't know what song it was from. When I told my mom about him dying, she said she and my dad loved one of his songs. When I was looking online, I found another song called New World in the Morning. I started listening to it, and my brain said I've heard it before. I then listened to a song called The Last Farewell. That was the one that had the line I quoted. I sang it to my mom, and that is the one she was talking about.
The next thing I want to discuss is the UAW strike. The main thing I wanted to say was that I've always heard they make a lot of money as it is. Also, they are all not doing advanced work that merits all that $. Besides a raise, they also want to do that 32 hrs/same pay bs. Apparently, the UAW does not have any accountants, since they don't realize that is basically a 20% raise.
The last thing I wanted to talk about is an incident that happened in this area this week. There was a guy shoplifting at an O'Reilly Auto Parts store, that was caught by employees that ended up dying. One worker has been charged. First, I hope that guy gets acquitted. They had the dead guy's family on the news saying how great of a guy he was. If he truly was, he wouldn't be stealing, and would prob still be alive. I have not seen anything on the news about this guy's criminal record. Of course these family members are going to sue OAP, which I hope the family loses. Since the crook is black and the worker white, people are going to make it into a race issue. In that area, both parties could've been either, or Hispanic. With the police and district attorney offices not doing their jobs, you are going to see more of this. I don't know about you, but less criminals is a good thing. When they are killed, they don't commit more crimes. Also, it MAY(capitalized for emphasis) make other thieves think twice about their chosen "profession". If I somehow ever get on a jury, I won't convict or rule against a good guy protecting against bad guys.
See you next week. There'll be some interesting reading.

Hello. It is 1212am as I stat this. It was another crappy week, but we'll get back to that in a while.
As I said last week, I changed my food due to something Mon. That thing is me getting a colonoscopy. I'm 49.5. It used to be they waited until you were 50, but it's been moved up to 45. Anyway, let me get back to me. The Save A Lot cheetos were meant to get stuff moving before the official stuff. At 3pm Sun, I took 4 Dulcolax tablets. At 5pm, I took 2 bottles(32oz and 28oz) of some kind of berry flavored Powerade and put them in an empty large pop bottle, and also mixed in an 8.3oz container of MiraLAX. I then drank 4 cups of this, 1 cup at a time, every 15 min. About 20 min after I finished, I had some ass pressure. I went in and took a dump. It was like a normal soft dump after eating hot cheetos, and my butthole was a bit warm. Usually the cheetos are faster than that. At 9pm, I drank the rest of the mix, I cup at a time. Since there was less than 4 cups, I also drank some water. Around 1030, I got ass pressure. I went in and basically was shooting out poo water. I was crouching over the toilet, so due to surface tension, I also has the water go on my thighs, and get on the floor. I eventually put on my flip flops, because I was going to go in and take a shower. I cleaned up the floor, and shot more poo water into the tub. I then went in and turned the water on. I had a few more squirts. I then showered. I did not have any poo later. I woke up a few min before 7. Before I got dressed, I went in and pooed a bit more. My dad picked me up. He was a bit later than intended because he somehow got lost on the way to my house. Near the medical office, we had to take a different route because the road was blocked due to work being done in the ditch.
At the office, I pooed a bit more before I put the gown on. The stuff didn't mix with the water, and just went to the bottom of the bowl. The anesthetic they used was propofol, aka the Michael Jackson stuff. The anesthesiologist said it might burn going in. I wasn't concerned, since they used that for my endoscopy, and I had no issues. When it went in, it did burn like hell. I then went out. I then woke up. The dr came and saw me. He said I have an internal hemorrhoid. He also found and removed 4 polyps. He said they didn't look cancerous, but they will get tested. I then got dressed and went home. I was going to ask my dad if he could take me somewhere near the office to pick up something to eat, but I decided not to. I got home and did a couple things. I took a shower. I think I then went to bed a slept a small bit. I'll talk a tiny bit more in a little while.
After I got out of the shower, I did see the Google Street View car go past my house. Due to the street layout, it had to go past a second time.
I almost forgot to discuss the rest of my week. On Wed, I went to the bank. I mostly went there to pay my mortgage, but I also had a check to deposit, and transfer money from my savings to checking. I had put the check in the envelope with the mortgage stuff. When I got to the bank, I found I took the WRONG FUCKING ENVELOPE!!!! I didn't have the mortgage slip or check. I was able to pay my mortgage, and do the transfer. On Thu, I went shopping. One grocery chain had coupons for this week, along with the regular sale. The first store only had 2 of the 3 coupon items, but were picked clean of those items as to not have the variations I wanted. The sale item was also almost picked clean. I then went to another location. I was able to get one of the coupon items, and the sale items. On Fri, I went to the location near my parents. I was able to get the other item, but like the other 2, they were totally out of the third item. I got a rain check. I then went over to Walmart to get some stuff. I decided to get a single onion, so it wouldn't go bad. I saw a bin of onions where the tag below said $0.69/lb. I got one. When I went to check out, The worker said it was $1.48/lb. He had punched in the code number on the sticker. I said I didn't want the onion. I went back to the produce section, and found the yellow onions. They are $0.98/lb, but I decided to get one. I checked out, then went home. At home, I finally got the grocery ads in the mail. I brought them in, but I accidentally dropped them on the floor. I had looked at them online on Wed, so it wasn't a big deal, but I was still pissed. I was doing stuff, and didn't get to sit down until after 730pm. Today when I was in the shower, when I was almost done, I felt I had a dump ready. I pushed it out. The bad news was that it was solid. I was in there a long time letting the water run on it to dissolve.
I'll get to the food now.
I first have to mention something from last week. It is about the graham crackers. The last time I had cinnamon ones. I had opened that box up quite a while ago. I stopped having those, and had the plain ones my mom got by mistake. I finished the box of plain ones, so went back to the cinnamon ones.
Now for current stuff.
Mon: I finished the peperoni. I forget when I actually did.
After my colonoscopy, I was hungry. Like I said earlier, I didn't have my dad take me anywhere. I was done around 1030am. I was wanting to go to McDonald's because they were doing the 2/1 Big Mac promo, and I was thinking they maybe started lunch food at 1030. I decided to eat stuff at home. I had a box of Cheez-It crackers. They were the PepperJack variety. They were originally ok, but the flavor disappeared as I ate more of them. I had a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I don't think the liquid gooified. I also had an 8oz block of store-brand mozzarella cheese. It was just ok. It didn't seem to have much taste, even though I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
For my night meal, I had things I got in the cold/hot case on Fri where I usually go. I had 2 pieces of breaded swai. I heated them up in the microwave. They were good. I also had a large container of egg salad. It looked good when I got it. When I had it, it wasn't good. There was no taste. Instead, when I would put a spoonfull in my mouth, my tongue would tingle. I ate all of it though. I was concerned about food poisoning, but I didn't barf or have diarrhea the next day. The only thing I could come up with is that there were onions in it, and the juice totally went out of them, and that juice was causing the tingling.
Tue: I didn't have anything.
Wed: I opened up a new package of peperoni.
My first snack was a bag of Corn Nuts. They were the Mexican Style Street Corn flavor. They were good. My second snack was a can of Vigo Jumbo Squid In Sunflower And Olive Oil. It was good. I took it off the shelf. My third snack was a bag of WM funyuns. They were good.
My meal was just a bunch of stuff. The main item was a 24oz bag of store-brand cooked shrimp. It was good. I had a can of the ALDI stuffed grape leaves. They were good. I had a box of chicken crackers from Dollar Tree. They weren't that good. There wasn't much taste, and they were salty. I had a 10oz wheel of queso fresco from ALDI. When I drank the little bit of liquid in the package, it was salty. The cheese itself may have been also, but I can't remember. The cheese did not have any taste, even though I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
Thu: I had some peperoni.
My snack was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
I got my meal at Little Caesars. It was the same as last time; an order of Italian Cheese Bread and a 4-Quarter Calzony. I heated both in the oven at 400F for 15 min. Unlike last time, the 4QC was cut, but they did a crappy job. I cut it myself before putting it in the oven. They did a good job of cutting the ICB. See my Sep17 review because the rest is mostly the same. This time, both items didn't seem to cool down as fast. I started eating the stuff right away, even though it was a bit too hot to hold. Also, since I recut the pizza beforehand, I didn't spend time with that.
I was full after I ate. I only felt stuffed a bit after drinking a bunch of water. I think that was because I only had the AC hf earlier, and not something bigger.
Fri: I had some peperoni.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had it with canola oil. It was good. I had it at 1237am during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My next snack was a Michelina's entree. It was the sweet & sour chicken. They actually call it 'Sweet & Sour Sauce with White Chicken & Rice". It was good. I had it during the 330am rebroadcast of TMZ.
I decided to make some popcorn. I won't repeat the cooking process. I did have it with canola oil and black pepper. I also tried putting soy sauce on it again. It was good. I don't think I tasted the soy sauce. I had it about 1230pm.
My last snack was a bag of DT croutons. They were the Garlic flavor. They were ok plain. I then tried them with canola oil, which was better. I think I had these around 1130pm
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb. I finished the jar of pb. It was a store-brand crunchy. It was good.
I had a pudding cup. It was good. I took it off the shelf. I had some chocolate chips. They were good. I had some coconut. It was good. I had some of the graham crackers. They were good. They were soft because that package had already been opened. I had some of the Planters peanuts. They were good. I finished the marshmallows. They were ok. I had a package of Little Debbie Fancy Cakes. I took them out of a freezer. They were good. I also opened a new package of cookies. They were the Chips Ahoy! Original. I took them off the shelf. They were good. They were smaller than I thought they would be. Maybe that is the new size. Or they come in different sizes.
I had some peperoni.
My "meal" was a box of Triscuit crackers. They were the Tzatziki variety. They were good. I could actually taste cucumber with the first few.
That is it for the food. I think I know what I'm having for my Sun meal.
Next week is the Columbus Day holiday weekend. I will be having some special meals. I have a list of options, but haven't set any plans yet.
It is 1044pm as I post this. SNL was the Travis Kelcie/Kelsea Ballerini episode. I don't know if it was scheduled long ago, or they are trying to get ratings due to Kelcie and Taylor Swift's apparent relationship. SNL started late due to college football. I was done talking to my mom on the phone before 1030pm. Besides getting some food ready for later and eating my croutons, I can't recall what else I was doing. before I sat down to type. Since TMZ wasn't on, I waited until 3 to take my nap. I got up for 4 for Washington Week. That's also when I had the sweet stuff. I didn't type when I was eating. I forget when I finished. I then just sat and watched tv. I can't recall if I did any typing. Around 730, I took a big dump. After I was done, I sat back down and did some stuff on the computer. I then went in to take my nap before 830. Since Meet The Press isn't on, I could start my nap later. I was going to get up for 930 to watch all of This Week. My alarm went off, and I woke up. I turned off the alarm. but I closed my eyes. I fell back asleep. I woke up around 1113am. When I got out of bed, I did a high-pitched burp, which happens when I get a case of the burps. I sat down at my desk and watched the last half of the local show. I don't recall if I did any typing. I then did my reading. When I was done, I resumed reading, and "watched" the first half of the local show. I was going to watch Washington Week online, but I was watching Pawn Stars instead. A bit after 2pm, I felt ass pressure, and took another dump. When I was done, I sat down and looked at my email, then Nextdoor. I got done after 5. I felt more poo in me, so took yet another dump. I was finally able to take a nap close to 6. I got up for 7 for FOX's Animation Domination. All 4 shows were good. I didn't do any typing. A round 912, I called my mom. I talked to her until maybe 940. I have since resumed typing.
There are 3 deaths I want to acknowledge. First is Sen Diane Feinstein. I'm not from CA, but still wanted to mention her. Next is Terry Kirkman. He was the singer for 60's group The Association. They had 3 hits: Windy, Cherish, and my favorite of the 3, Never My Love. The last person is David McCallum. Recently, he played Dr, Mallard, aka Duckie, on NCIS. I've been watching it for quit a long time now. Back in the day, he was apparently the main character on The Man From U.N.C.L.E. On the ABC overnight news, they were telling a story about he was urged not to go outside, so his car wouldn't be swamped by women.
In other news, the gov shutdown was prevented on Sat. Since I work for the gov, that was something I needed to pay attention to. I'm pretty sure there were other things I was going to discuss, but I can't remember. Well, there was one thing I was going to mention at the very top as part of my shitty week. I was reading the Smackdown review on TJRWresting. It was reported that in a yr, Smackdown is going to USA Network on cable, which I don't have. At least I have a yr to find somewhere to watch it online.
I guess I'll go now, but don't know when I'll be back.

Hello, it is 1155pm as I start this. It was another shitty week. I recall on Sun having a case of the burps. I think I took 5 dumps. I can't recall what happened on Mon & Tue. I had something Wed, but I'll mention that later. Thu was the really bad day. First, on the way to work, there were 2 fucking douchebag truckers taking up 2 lanes to keep me from passing them. They were unsuccessful, but it still pissed me off. The only thing about work was we had our bi monthly meeting, but again, I didn't get to bring up stuff. After work was when things really sucked. I'll mention the main thing later, and prob something else. One of the things was that the one grocery chain has Campbell's soup on sale for $0.99. I didn't get a chance to go there. Mostly because I wanted to get home. I needed to get gas, and there was a gas station near the last place I went to. I pulled up to a pump, opened the fuel door, and took off the gas cap. I then looked at the pump. There was a sign saying you had to pay inside. I got in my car and drove to another pump. I was able to pay with my card and got gas. Earlier, after my second stop, I went to a gas station. The pump wouldn't accept my card, so I just left. On the way home, there was a bug flying around in my car. I stopped in a church parking lot, and opened the doors. I didn't see it again, so I thought it was gone. On Fri, I had some other stuff kind of related to Thu, which I'll also mention later. On the way to the first destination, I saw the bug again. I exited off the interstate, and stopped on a side street. I opened the driver side doors(the other side was next to a ditch). After a few min, I left. Quite a while later, I saw it flying around again. I stopped in a church parking lot, and opened all the doors. After a few min, I closed the doors. I started backing up, but I saw it again. I forget if it was flying around, or was on the ceiling. I stopped the car, and opened the doors. It was a fly, and I was able to kill it on the ceiling. I did go to a different store in the chain. I went to the Campbell's soup section. They had sale tags with a different price. I looked at all of them. Apparently, only about 4 kinds of soup were part of the sale. This chain has pulled this shit before. They are also replacing their savings cards. I had called a different location, and they said they can get stuff taken care of, so the new card can be mailed out. I went to the customer service counter. They said I'd have to fill some shit out. I was not in the mood. The chain is also doing a FSS sale. I was thinking of picking up a package of chicken breasts, but I forgot to. I made 2 more stops. I didn't get home until a few min after 630pm, so I missed the start of Entertainment Tonight(I did see it during the rebroadcast). Today(Sat), some shit fell off my radio onto the floor, and I had to spend some extra time washing it off. I was going to clean off something else, but forgot to. That was related to something else I accidentally let fall on the floor.
There was something from last week that I didn't bring up. It was about the Google Street View car. Since it had to loop around, and go past my house again, the thought of mooning it crossed my mind. Like I said last week, I had just gotten out of the shower. I did not want to rush and put on some clothes. If I was wearing a specific item, I would've gone outside.
Let me get to the food now.
Sun: I finished the peperoni.
The main part of my meal was 2 cans of Progresso soup. They were the Chicken & Herb Dumplings variety. It was good. I had a snack item. It was a bag of Clancy's potato chips. They were the Loaded Bacon & Cheddar flavor. I had an 8oz container of sour cream with them. The chips were good plain and with the sc. The chips didn't have a cheese taste. I don't recall if there was a bacon taste.
Mon: I just did meal prep nibbling.
Tue: My first snack was a box of veggie crackers from Dollar Tree. They were good. They were not salty, like the chicken crackers. I then had a Tijuana Mama pickled sausage. It was good. My last snack was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it using the healthy method. When adding the spices...., I also added some regular mustard and horseradish mutard. I don't ever do that. I made it Mon so I could eat it cold from the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Walmart sardines in hot sauce. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
The next morning, I had ass pressure, and had to take a dump. When I was setting up my computer for work, I felt more, and took a second dump. I think one or both were warm coming out. I don't know if it was from the ACHF, the TM, or both. I haven't been having issues with the ACHF, so it could be the TM. If so, that means there is yet another food item I can't eat anymore. There is a chance that it was from a combination of the 2, and just a TM alone won't affect me.
Wed: I had the rice mix I put aside on Mon. I ate it out of the fridge. It was good plain and with my 3 items. I didn't do any combos with my items.
Thu: My first snack was a bag of WM funyuns. They were good. My second snack was a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I wasn't planning on having these, so I put them in the fridge later than usual. Later, I decided to put them in the freezer, which is where I got them. The liquid didn't seem to gooify. It may have, but I took them out when I brought the funyuns to my computer and sat down. And I had the funyuns first.
As for my meal, oh boy! This is going to take some explaining. I got my meal at Arby's. I had a Gyro, using a coupon. It was the Greek version. I had one of their new Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. It was the Classic(aka regular) version. I also had 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches, using 2 coupons. I'll get to the actual meal later. Like I said, I first need to explain stuff.
I don't want to get all my stuff at one place. That is because it takes longer, increasing the chances of an ocd incident. My plan was to get the FD at the place I usually visit, and the other 2 at another location. There is one closer, and right off the interstate. I didn't want to go there, because I wanted to get my FD at my normal place, and get those first. And I went to ALDI, and there is another Arby's somewhat near the ALDI. I went to my usual place. I saw a lady, who was preparing the food. grab the garbage can, and reach down and pick something off the floor. I left. I then went to the other location I was planning to visit. I was going to get my FD. When I got there, they said they would only take 1 coupon. I only got 2 of my FD. I then went to the gas station that didn't take my card. I then went to ALDI. After that, I drove all the way back to the one near the interstate. I did get my other 4 sandwiches. The problem there was an ocd issue. It will take too long to explain, so I won't. I then went over to the nearby gas station and got gas. I then went home. I cleaned the beef juice containers and sandwich wrappers from the one where the ocd incident occurred.
When it was time to eat, I warmed up all the sandwiches in the microwave. I did the G and PC first, then the 4 FD. I didn't heat up the beef juice. I had the G first. It was good. I then had the PC. It was good. Then was the 4 FD, starting with the 2 'ocd' ones. They were all good. Both places put a lot of juice in the containers. I was able to soak all 4 sandwiches, and have a decent amount of juice left, which I drank. There was a negative in that soaking all the sandwiches made my meal take way longer than usual to eat.
I was full, but not stuffed. I drank a lot of water after, which did make me uncomfortable.
I think I want a redo of the PC, and also try the Bacon Ranch version.
Fri: This was the first special meal of the Columbus Day holiday weekend.
I wanted to get stuff from the hot/cold case from a grocery store. I called the place I usually go to on Fri. The guy said they did have egg salad and shrimp. There is another store a bit out of the way. They have a full-size grocery section, but are more famous for their liquor, tobacco, and lottery ticket areas. I tried to call them, to ask what they had, but they never picked up. I then went to the grocery store. What the guy said, and reality were quite different. They did have egg salad, but it was the dried out, no mayo looking shit. There was no shrimp. The guy there said they ran out earlier. I think he said he was the one who talked to me on the phone. If so, why would he say they have shrimp when they were out? I then drove all the way over to the other store that didn't pick up the phone. They had stuff there I wanted, so I got it. I then drove all the way back to the store where there was the soup debacle. It is on the route to the way of the 'egg salad' store. I needed to go that way anyway because I needed to go to ALDI. I also visited the nearby DT. They also don't have the full cans of black olives anymore.
If I had known what was at the other store, and the guy at the main store was honest about the shrimps and shit es, I would've just gone to the other store and got my food. Maybe I would've also got some es at the 'soup' store.
When it was time for me to eat, I heated up 3 of the items, and took the 2 others out of the fridge. I will do a paragraph for each item.
I had 2 burritos(chimichangas?). They were good. I had a couple of bites plain, but had most with a total of 3 packets of Taco Bell Diablo sauce. I also used some hot sauce. I did 2 or 3 bites with both. Since the es's grocery chain sells stuff by the lb, I can't really compare prices because these were priced each. I forget if I thought they were a good deal, and I don't feel like hunting for the receipt.
I had a container of seafood/crab salad. When I was at the store, I noticed that it looked a bit off. The taste matched the look. It wasn't horrible, but I will prob not get it here again. As for the price, I think it is more expensive than the stuff at the seafood counter at the store at the edge of the 'hood, but is much cheaper than the stuff at the chain's cold cases.
I had a container of bowtie pasta/cheese(mozzarella and/or parmesan) salad. It was good. It was rather cheap. I don't think the chain has an equivalent. The closest comparison would be the tortellini salad, which is much more expensive.
I had 2 pieces of breaded fish. It might've been swai. It was good. The breading gave it a different taste than the 'es' stores fish, and it wasn't salty. The only negative was the price. It is $2/lb more than my regular place.
I got 1lb of breaded shrimp. It was good. The negative was the cost. It was WAAAAAAAAY more expensive than my usual place. $13.99/lb vs $7.99/lb.
I forget how full I was after.
Sat: The main part of my meal was an experiment. I got a spaghetti squash. It was 2.87lbs. I made one almost exactly 2 yrs ago, so I can c/p that with a few modifications: I cut the squash in half lengthwise. All the recipes said to scoop out the seeds, and the stuff with them. I decided not to do this because it looked like there was a lot of stuff there. I preheated the oven to 400F. I rubbed each half with canola oil on the cut sides. I put those sides down on the cookie sheet. I then poked a bunch of holes in the peel to release any steam. I then and put some oil on the peel. I then put the sheet in the oven. After 15 min, I squirted a bit of canola oil on top of each half, and turned the cookie sheet 180. After 15 min, I took the sheet out of the oven. I turned each half over. Part of each half was still firm, so I turned them back over, and put the sheet back in the oven. After a 5 min, I took it back out to check them. One half was fully soft, so I set it in the pan to help cool off. I kept the other half on the cookie sheet, turned it back over, and put it back in the oven. I forget how long I kept it in there. When I took it out, it was fully soft. I put it in the pan with the other half to cool. When they got to where I could handle them, I used my fork and scraped the insides into my casserole dish.
The experiment aspect came in what I put on it. I took my small pot and put canola oil in it. I also added a lot of garlic powder. I heated it up until it was bubbling. I don't know if the oil and garlic were actually bubbling because I had added a tiny bit of water to tell when it was hot. I then dumped the oil mix in the casserole dish with the ss, and mixed it in. When the oil was in the pot, I wasn't sure if I had enough. After I dumped it in and mixed it, I saw I actually had too much. There were little pools of oil all over.
As for eating. It was good. I can't recall how garlicy it was. I had most of it plain. I also tried it with black pepper, red pepper flakes, and both. Those were all good too.
As for the peel, it was good. I had most of it plain. I also had some with the squash on it. That was good. Besides plain, I also tried some with one or both peppers on the squash.
I got this on Thu at ALDI. Due to me being distracted by the Arby's bs, I wasn't thinking clearly. I had also gone to ALDI to get my meat item for my Sun meal. I was thinking about that, and going to another Arby's when I got my squash. I was going to get a bigger squash, but my brain was thinking I was going to have that meat item as part of my meal, and I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't weigh any more than the one I got.
With that being so, I decided to get more to eat. The 2 other items I had were the 2 I got on my Fri ALDI visit. One was a can of corned beef. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. The other item was an 8oz ball of fresh mozzarella. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. It was ok. It didn't have any flavor.
With all the fiber/roughage in the squash and peel, and the oil, I'm surprised I haven't had to run to the toilet today. It may happen later though.
That is it for the food. I have 2 more meals for the CD holiday weekend. They will both be experiments.
It is 134pm as I post this. SNL was the Steve Martin|Martin Short/Brandi Carlisle episode. I just watched the since show sketch and Weekend Update. I got done with my mom on the phone around 1041pm. I wanted to get to typing this right away, but I didn't. I forget exactly why I didn't. I don't think I was busy reading Yahoo! News. I just remembered that I did finish some reading I didn't do on Fri. It may have been that my stomach felt a bit funny. When I did get up, I first got some stuff ready for my meal later. I then sat down to type. I continued until 2am, when I got up to make my meal. I did sit down and type a bit while the squash was in the oven. I think I was finally able to sit down to eat after 330. I think it took me around an hr to eat. After, I just sat there and watched tv. I did want to watch the one station's local news at 5am. I finally got up and put stuff away. I think I went into bed around 530. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I was able to watch it, but there was a bunch of glitching. Even though I stayed awake, I didn't feel like typing. I finally resumed typing close to 10. I did so until around 1150am. I then did my Sun reading. I got done a bit after noon. I then resumed typing while watching Pawn Stars, but I eventually "watched" MTP online, part of Washington Week, and now the local show.
The main news story this week was the invasion of Israel Sat. Like all the politicians have been saying, Israel does have a right to defend themselves. They are going to go in and cause a lot of destruction in the Palestinian areas, and rightly so. The other main story was the House of Representatives removing McCarthy as Speaker. I don't really feel like commenting on it now. I will say Nikki Haley was on MTP, and said something like "don't follow Democratic chaos with Republican chaos". I don't know what "Democratic chaos" she is talking about. All I chaos I know if is Republican in origin.
There was just one death I want to acknowledge. It was Dick Butkus. First, he was on the Chicago Bears. He played before I was born. He then went into acting, but I can't recall any of his stuff.
There was something from last week I forgot to bring up. That was the arrest of a guy that was involved in the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Even though it happened 27 yrs ago(1996), it seemed weird that the guy arrested is now 60 yrs old. I think I heard that the people that were actually in the vehicle during the shooting(except for this guy if he was) are all dead. I'm not a TS fan, but still wanted to mention this.
I thought there was some other stuff I wanted to mention, but I can't remember now. I'll prob remember the stuff after I post this, then have to put it in next week's post.
See you next week.

Hello. It is 205am as I start this. It was another crappy week. I can't recall everything that happened, except for the meal-related stuff. I do remember on Wed, when I was going to the store, I exited off the interstate. On the street, there was a truck on the shoulder a ways ahead of me. There was another car that was closer. All of a sudden, the truck pulled onto the street in front of the car. Then, the truck just crawled along. Further down the street, there is a middle left turn lane. It looked like the car would've used the lane to pass the truck, but there was work being done on it. I would've also. Fri was the 13th, considered an unlucky day in the US. Besides the meal stuff, I also dropped my extra bottle of dish soap/water for my spray bottle on the floor. The cap was on tight, so none leaked out. I did have to wash the bottle. On Sat, I was going to go outside and try to get close to finishing moving the brush on my driveway side area to the woods outside my backyard. I did something else.
On Fri, I took my 239am nap to get up for 330 for the rebroadcast of TMZ. I got up, but I closed my eyes. I apparently dozed off for a few min, because when I opened my eyes, it was a bit after 330. Thankfully, I watched the first few min of it when it originally came on at 11pm. Today(Sun), I took my nap and set the alarm to get up for 9 for Meet The Press. I did get up, but again, closed my eyes. This time, I woke up around 930. I got up and went in and turned the tv on. I'll have to watch it again, but it looks like that may have already happened, because there was some wind caused glitching.
A little bit ago, my dad called and said my mom passed out. That has happened before. This time he called an ambulance, and had her taken to the hospital. They haven't determined what happened this time. Update: My mom is home. They didn't find anything wrong with her, but she has to wear a heart monitor for 5 days. For some reason, they didn't test her blood.
A while back, Microsoft stopped supporting Internet Explorer. Eventually, I couldn't use it to look at websites, and had to go to Edge. I could still use IE to look at pics I have on my computer. I like it better than the default program for reasons I don't feel like posting for time's sake. Yesterday(Sat), I went to open some pics in IE, and it didn't work. I had to use the default. For some odd reason, I would open IE to get on the internet, even though it would go over to Edge. A few days ago, it stopped doing that. I would click on the icon, and nothing happened. I forget if I thought about the pics when that happened.
There were some good news items. On Mon, I did go out and move a bunch of the brush to the woods. I also cut some more off the big limb. I put the pieces out on the edge of the street. When I went out on Fri, I saw someone took the wood, which is why I put it there. On Sat(technically yesterday due to being after midnight), I was making good time on stuff, so I had a bunch of time before I took my shower. Instead of moving the brush, I took out the chainsaw and cut some more on the limb. I'm close to getting it fully cut up.
The construction on the interstate I use to take to work is done. The other construction on it related to a new bridge is still going on though.
I saw online that McDonald's is bringing back the McRib starting Nov1.
There were 2 other things. A while back, I got a letter from my mortgage co saying I didn't have home insurance, and that they were going to get a policy and make me pay for it. The thing is, I do have insurance. I called them, and the person said they had since gotten the info from State Farm saying I was insured. Earlier this week, I got a big envelope from the mortgage co that had the word "insurance" on it. The envelope looked like they had bought me insurance. I opened the envelope, and it did say they cancelled their insurance. The other thing was related to my colonoscopy. I got an envelope from them. I opened it up and it said 1 polyp was removed and tested. The thing is, the dr told me there were 4. I called them up regarding this. They called back, and confirmed there were 4 and they were tested. While they weren't cancerous, they were pre-cancer. The letter said the same thing, but used a word I've never heard of, and am not going to grab the letter to document it here. When I go to my semi-annual dr appt in less than 2 weeks, I'll ask about that.
Now I can get to the food.
There is one thing I need to mention from last week though. It was about the rind for the spaghetti squash. I didn't want to reuse the term "old vinyl", but it still applied. I think a more general description would be that it was both soft and brittle.
Now for this week.
Sun: This was an experiment. I used a bag of store-brand pizza dough mix. The instructions said to add ½ cup of water warmed to between 120-130F. I put the water in my measuring cup, then put it in the microwave. I used the thermometer, and it looked like it said 125F. I dumped it in with the mix, and stirred it up. Like last time, it seemed too dry, but I didn't add more water. I rubbed some canola oil on it, and let it sit for 5 min. I rubbed some canola oil on the cookie sheet. I put the dough on the cookie sheet, but didn't spread it out as much as I did for the pizza. I then put in the over, according to the instructions. I then took it out. What I was going to do was mix some garlic powder with canola oil, then spread that on the crust. I don't recall doing that, nor just using the oil. What I did do is put 2 8oz packages of ALDI sliced mozzarella on the crust. I took them out of the fridge a few hrs before. I then put it back in the oven. After the time indicated in the instructions elapsed, I left it in more. When there were a few brown spots on the cheese, I took the cookie sheet out.
As for the eating, it was ok. For some reason, there was not much taste. I'm thinking I should've left it in the oven longer and let the cheese brown more. Whether I make cheese bread or pizza, I think I'm going to use more water, and see if the dough actually becomes like dough.
I did have a meat item. It was a 16oz bag of ALDI peperoni. It was good. I took it out of the fridge when I took out the cheese.
Mon: Since the Chiefs got a sack the night before, McDonald's had the bogo deal on Big Macs. I got 2 when I was out. A while after I got home, I ate them. They were good. Afterward, I went outside and worked in the yard.
My meal was the last one of the Columbus Day holiday weekend. I took 3 cans of store-brand Campbell's style(add water) chicken noodle soup and put them in my pot. I took an 8oz pkg of Louis Kemp imitation crab and cut it up. I had a few pieces, which were good. I also opened up a 12oz bag of raw shrimp. I drank the water in the bag. It was good. When I was cutting the ic, the soup started boiling bad. I had to turn the burner off. When I was done with the ic, I put it and the shrimp in the pot. I stirred it a bit, then put the lid on. I let it sit a while.
As fort the taste, I guess it was good. I know the shrimp at least was.
Tue: I didn't have anything.
Wed: I opened up a pkg of ALDI salami. When I was cooking something as part of my meal, I fried 2 slices. They were good.
My first snack was a bag of El Sabroso Baja Limon tortilla chips. They were good. My second snack was a can of Vigo Mussels In Marinade Sauce. They were good. I took them off the shelf. My third snack was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
For my meal, I had 2 snacks because they were small. First was a bag of Deutsche Kuche Potato Sticks. They were the Hash Brown Style. They were good. Then I had a box of the Dollar Tree chicken crackers. They didn't seem as salty as the first box I had, but these also did not really taste like chicken crackers. I had a 10oz wheel of ALDI queso fresco. It was ok. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. The main part of my meal was a container of seafood salad I bought at the seafood counter in the store at the edge of the 'hood. It was good. Since sliced mushrooms are on sale this week at ALDI, I bought an 8oz container. I had a few pieces raw, which were good. I cooked the rest in my pan with canola oil. They were good.
Thu: I had some salami.
I got my meal at both Taco Bell and Arby's. I first went to Arby's. That was relatively issue-free. There were scuzzy people that came in after me, and a fly got near one of my food items in the prep area. Thankfully, it didn't land on my food or the wrapper. There is a TB nearby, so I drove over there. There was a sign on the door saying the lobby was closed. That sucked, but at least they had a sign, and it was big enough that I didn't have to get out of my car to read it. I then went to another location, and got my food.
For TB, I had seen some online ad promoting 2 chicken burritos. I looked on their website, and they had a limited time Chicken Enchilada Burrito(it was there earlier this week, but not today). I'm thinking the other one was the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito. When I went in, I asked if they had the CEB. The worker said they ran out the day before. I got a CRGCB though. I also got a Fiesta Veggie Burrito. When it was time to eat, I warmed them up in the microwave. I think I had the CRGCB first. They were both good. I had a couple of bites of each plain, but I had most of them with Diablo sauce. I think I used ~2.5 packets for each one.
For the Arby's stuff. I got 2 of the Classic Crispy Chicken Sandwiches as part of the 2/$7 promo. They came in foil lined wrappers, so I had to take them out and put them on an old Subway wrapper to heat them up in the microwave. They were good. I also got 1 Classic Cheesesteak sandwich and 1 Bacon Ranch Cheesesteak sandwich. I warmed them both up in the microwave. They were both good. There was an issue with the CC. I did not taste any peppers. Either they were there, and I just didn't taste them,. or they fucked up and left them off. I may have to do a redo of this.
Fri: I had some salami.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had it with canola oil. It was good. I had it at 1247am during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news. I forget why I started later than usual.
The story of my second and third snacks are tied together. On Thu, there was a Chiefs game, and they got a sack. That meant they were doing the bogo BM promo on Fri. I decided that would be my third snack. Since I didn't need to go grocery shopping, I decided I would go to a McD somewhat close to my house. There is a TB off the interstate along the way. I called, and they said they still had the CEB. I decided that would be my 2nd snack. I went to the TB. As the lady was coming to the counter, she dropped a cap for something on the floor. She picked it up, but didn't wash her hands. I just asked her about the menu and left. I drove past the McD I planned to visit, and drove to an area that has a McD and TB close together. I went to the TB first.
The TB had the CEB, so I got one. I also got a Soft Taco. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. I had the ST first. It was good. I used a packet of Diablo on it. I then had the CEB. It was good. I had a few bites plain. I also used 2 packets of Diablo on it. I had these at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
Ok, back to McD. After TB, I went and orded my 2 BM. The worker originally fucked up and put the meal in. She had to have the manager show her how to cancel that, then she put in the correct order. When I was waiting, I saw one of the workers who put the stuff in the bags pick up shit off the floor without washing her hands. Thankfully, the BM come in boxes. When I got home, I cleaned the boxes off. I microwaved them before I ate them. They were good. I had these a few min after 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ. I mentioned near the top about dozing off.
My last snack was a bag of DT croutons. They were the Seasoned variety. I had like more than half plain. They were good. I had the rest with canola oil. They were also good. I had these at 1030pm during Saturday Night Live.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb.
I had a pudding cup. It was good. I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had some of the graham crackers. They were good. I finished the jar/bottle of Planters peanuts and opened another. They were good. I had some of the Chips Ahoy! cookies. I took them out of the fridge. They were good. I also opened a bag of Clancy's Churros. I didn't finish the bag, even though there were only a few left. I have 2 more bags. When I open those, I think I'll divide them in 2 to have some for 4 times instead of 2.
You may notice I didn't list any Little Debbie items. When I got the seafood salad on Wed, there was a rack in the store that had JJ's Bakery fruit pies on sale for 2/$1, which was their original sale price. Thre were 3 varieties, so I got 1 of each. I had an Apple Pie. It was good.
There was a negative. for the gc, there are 3 packages in a box. I opened up the last pkg. Each package has 9 gc. I had eaten 4. One of them had broken in half on it's own. My plan was to eat one half, and leave the other in the pkg, and eat that next time. When I took the half out, It broke, and most of it fell on the floor. I went ahead and took the other half out of the pkg and ate it. I picked the half off the floor and set it aside. Either I'll eat it before I clean my mouth out, or I'll just throw it outside for the squirrels. Update: I ate it after I took a dump, before I cleaned my mouth out. While it pisses me off more than dropping some cc, coconut, or peanuts, it's less so than had I dropped a cookie.
I had some salami.
My "meal" was a bag of Clancy's Pretzel Thins. They were the Everything variety. They were ok. They tasted more like the flavoring than the pretzel itself.
That's it for the food. I know what I'm having for my Sun meal.
It is 1132pm Sun as I post this. SNL was the season premiere. Pete Davidson was the host and Ice Spice was the musical guest. It was a pretty good episode. There was only one major wind glitch during the NFL sketch. I also had a few times where I couldn't hear due to my eating the croutons. Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman were each in at least 3 sketches, 2 of those together. There were 2 sketches where Sara Sherman had on a wig that makes her look very attractive. During the beach sketch, it looked like she had some(badly matched) makeup covering one of the tattoos near her right ankle. I have heard of Ms. Spice, but never heard her stuff. I did not like what I heard. I also did not like seeing her muffin top and thunder thighs. After SNL was over, I got dressed and went over to my office. They had done carpet cleaning earlier on Sat. On Wed, I had put all my computer stuff in my cabinets because I didn't know if they would move that part of my desk, since it's not attached to the cubicle. I cleaned my cubicle and chair, then put my stuff back out again. I then drove home. I got home a few min before 130. Besides taking my clothe off, I did other stuff I can't 100% recall before sitting down at my computer. I did have to turn it on, because I turned it off before I left. I then started typing. I stopped when I took my nap at 3. The TMZ weekend edition wasn't on again. I got up for 4 for Washington Week. It took me quite a while to get everything and sit down and eat. I think I did do some typing while eating. I got done eating after 5. I then kept on typing, but I did feel drowsy a few times. I did get up and put stuff away. Some time after 730am, I went into my bed and took a nap. I mentioned what happened next up near the top of my post. After I got up, I watched MTP. I resumed typing around 10. I think I stopped around to do my reading. I forget when I finished. I then took a dump. After that, I made another attempt to remove the bump on the back of my head. I then checked my email, then looked at Nextdoor. I finished around 540pm. I put MTP on the computer, and resumed typing. When MTP was over around 630pm, I took another dump. After, I did some stuff, then took a nap at 7. I got up at 9. I called my mom. forget when I got done. I then got up to do some stuff. I then had my pretzel chips. After that, I put Face The Nation on the computer. I paid my gas bill. I also looked at my bank statement, and it is finally correct. I need to call tomorrow to make sure I didn't put money in my checking account that I didn't notate. I resumed typing after.
Here is the place for other stuff. First, I wanted to note 2 deaths this weekend. Yesterday, actress Piper Laurie died at 91. She played the psycho religious mom in Carrie. Today, it was announced that Suzanne Somers died a day before her 77th birthday. She is most famous for playing Chrissy Snow on Three's Company. Before that, she was the girl driving the Thunderbird in American Graffiti. She apparently died of breast cancer. I heard many yrs ago that she had cancer, but was doing alternative treatments for it. Maybe if she had done the traditional treatments, she'd be cancer-free and still alive. If that's how things went down, I don't feel as bad as her dying.
Last Sun was the season premiere for the FOX Animation Domination shows, except for Krapopolis, which started a few weeks earlier. I wanted to discuss both The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers. Both episodes did not have much actual comedy, but I wouldn't call them serious either. It seemed for some people, TS could be considered "emotional". The best word I could use to describe both episodes is "deep".
In more cheerful news, I watched Face the Nation online last Sun. Host Margaret Brennan looked very hot, with the dress and her nice legs and black pantyhose. I watched the whole thing, instead of just listening like usual, to see her legs.
I think there was other stuff I wanted to talk about. Maybe one of those was IE going away, which I mentioned earlier.
That's all for today. See you next week.
