But my dad came to visit today and he brought me to Costco!

So, today, I bought toilet paper, paper towels, dryer sheets, large freezer bags and sanitary products!

Yay for Dad, and especially for not having to think of any of the basics soon.

Anyone who has a new title, offer it up.

This one just made sense.

I need to get some frozen dinner foods and fresh meals for my fridge

I love the title, Kim. No worries on that front.

I didn't buy anything today.

And it was more than getting the essentials at Costco, it's that (especially for the paper products), they're bulky items. Hard to carry around when you're a pedestrian.

Heck, those are hard to carry in just from the car. I can only imagine how much trouble it is walking. I know you're used to working with it, and around it, but it's tough.

I got groceries. Our deli got new Loaded Baked potatoes salad. Also, groceries.

I got a bagillion cans of tuna because they were on special at such a low price at this one grocery store I go to. So, you know, why not get enough to get me through the year?

I also bought chips, tonight's supper and lime-flavoured sparkling water.

There You'll Be · 10-19-2018, 02:23 AM

hey, it may seem crazy, but you can never, ever, have too much tuna. What did you get for your supper?

I have to go back out Sunday, but no more till then. I also got mini Advil. Liquigels, which were huge and I couldn't swallow. These are awesome.

Yikes, it’s kind of taboo these days to wear real animal skin and fur lately. I’d rather spend 127,000 bucks toward a condo or something

I wonder what woman would risk wearing those in public without getting red paint thrown on them!

Today, I bought lunch (a club sandwich) and a ceramic plate at a "ceramics cafe" so that I then painted said ceramic plate and they'll fire it and, in two weeks, I'll have my mother's birthday present.

Yeah, it is one of the reasons l never bought a beautiful overcoat with a fur collar. It might have been asking for unwanted attention. I only support the wearing of fur if an animal is not specially killed for it's fur.

I love the top 2 jackets, and I would so risk wearing them. I'd have to not think about the animals, but if they weren't killed specifically for it, I'd wear them. I am so wanting the top jacket now.

Oh Sunny, that's awesome! What a great gift, and so special knowing you created it. What kind of colors or designs did you do? Right now I really wish you had a way to take pictures.

**sunnykerr** · 10-20-2018, 12:04 PM

I have an aunt who died almost 20 years ago now and who left a fur coat behind. It fit me perfectly... but I can't. I mean, it's hypocrisy on my part because I have no issue with leather.

But, with that coat, it did feel like I was wearing the carcass of something that had been alive once. And I just couldn't.

There You'll Be · 10-21-2018, 06:18 AM

I think I'd feel the same. Even the inside of fur coats are too animal-y for me.

Leather doesn't remind me of animals at all.

Nothing today. I don't think.

**sunnykerr** · 10-21-2018, 02:18 PM

I bought yet more tuna cans, a chicken-caesar sandwich, an apple, a lemon, pita bread, hot-dog buns and potato salad.

I got gas for the car and some chocolate bars for tonight’s Halloween programming!
