Ok, I sent this to my sister and I've covered all this in my previous blog posts, I think.......maybe....
Except my sister is probably never going to actually read this and since it's an email, nobody else will either. So -- BLOG, how are you, so nice to see you, come on in! Always glad to post my two cents (even if I might be brainwashed, too as the New Radicals of 1998 once suspected and probably still do, now more than ever EEK!)
I don't think Mom's up to going anywhere today except a quick stop at the post office. She seems out of sorts this morning. I was hoping you could stop by the P.O., tomorrow(?) If not, there's no rush. It'll take at least 4 days, if I'm lucky, of waiting pins & needles minute by minute, for the whole transaction to complete after it gets shipped. I need the money preferably early in May, but even that's a half truth. I can make do w/o it, as one would make do w/o toilet paper -- not well, but O-K.
For the time being, I need the following groceries
1
GRAPE NUTS (generic is fine but I think WalMart is the only one that has generic grape nuts; they're called "crunchy nuggets" unless something has changed since I last picked some up and/or observed them first hand...)
2
COKE-A-COLA -- size of can or bottle is not important. I would like at least 12 cans, bottles is fine if they're cheaper. Two of those 7.5 oz packs of 6 cans or bottles is fine by me.
3
whole grain - whole wheat sandwich bread loaf x 2. ALDI has it for no more than $1.79, might even be marked down to less.
4
sliced meat, ideal for sandwiches. BLACK FORREST HAM please. ALDI has it for $3.19 I think. Just one is fine.
And...I think that's it.
I have $20 and some change I think on my FS card. I can give it to you to use for the items above if you think you'll use it. I would be a little irritated if you happened to lose it or "misplace" it...not that I think it's likely to happen, but if you don't intend to use it, then it seems counterproductive to lend it to you... If you disagree, let me know. I can give it to you if you think you might need it to cover a potential shortage of funds that you weren't expecting.....(?)
If nothing else gets bought, GRAPE NUTS! Brand name is fine, even though they can run almost double the generic. I have no interest in any other cereal. All of the cereal ALDI regularly stocks is basically a potato chip substitute. A lot less fattening, but if letting go of a bag of potato chips were not such a chore, mankind would never have felt the need to elect a 555 trillion dollar federal budget shortfall for POTUS. Of course, he may have still won the election if he wasn't talking up health care coverage reform...As dumb as it is, and as much I hate to admit it, I voted for Obama b/c John McCain's campaign did not address the unseamly appearance of having George W. Bush being succeeded by someone of the same political party and he made an ass of himself by taking Obama's remarks regarding taxes on the rich being so minimal as being indicative of some intent of becoming Robin Hood. It's almost like he gave up on conveying a worthwhile message to voters and decided to sum it up with "vote for an American or vote for Robin Hood." The last 3 months of the election were pretty much that same TV ad & nothing else except for what Obama had to say, which was a lot, as hollow as much of it was ultimately, even the good ideas he had.
But yeah --- one serving of potato chips & an apple --- That's a whollop of healthy fat & then, ya know, fruit...It's not a complete diet by any means. But if that's all a person ate twice or even 3 times a day, heck, obesity would not be the pandemic that it is. But alas, you give someone 5 potato chips, you really need a shot in the head to keep it from becoming 50. ugh. And by that point, you have no idea how much you've eaten b/c the bag changes shape before you've started paying attn, and it looks like it's half way empty, so you think "serving size IS 15 chips after all...." but then...idk. Potato chips just aren't satisfying unless you don't stop eating them, which is impossible. Bill Gates could do it, he would have no trouble paying someone over time to rush to the store and get them even! Me? Yeah......I'm, uh, not Bill Gates... :/ Bran flakes are not quite as bad, truth be told, but I need a serious decrease in calories. Bran flakes or HNCs are not the answer. Even regular cheerios are not the answer, although they might be closer to it than bran flakes, but -- not close-enough.
Ok, this email is way too long and I don't think you're still reading this and you're probably put off on me trash talking famous people as if they're just cardboard stand ins that apparitionize on TV or whatever.......Yeah --- demons are people too! xD Yeah, yeah I know.........playing poker with the devil doesn't make you a demon....true, true.......ugh........
DISCLAIMER: MY SISTER IS THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED TO A SUPERSCATTERBRAINED ME AT AGE 12 THAT "ANYTIME YOU NEED A FRIEND" BE USED AS THE THEME SONG FOR A POTENTIAL SEQUEL TO E.T. THE REFERENCE IS RANDOM AND WHIMSICAL -- **NOT** INTENDED AS RACIST OR ANTI-DEM.
Seriously, I have nothing against the Democratic platform, in general. I am pro-choice and not against gays being allowed to marry. However, that doesn't mean I support homosexuality or abortion. I think those things should be discouraged, but the sinners should not be hated for their choices and the impact of those choices should not be a degradation to the church. If you claim to be a Christian, you should not be going into church with pornography on your phone, nor should you be going to church as if on a date with a same sex partner. Ideally, such sins should be fled from and cast out of your life altogether. And abortion should not be needed if you follow that line of thinking. However, many democrats are either deliberately or subconsciously waging war against God and that is a culture which I myself detest.
And yes, both Mariah Carey and Obama are not fully black. That's an observation, nothing to really say further about it except Obama kind of exploited his black-ness......at least it seems that way....maybe I'm just too steeped against Obama to think anything good of him. idk.
