@Totalanimefan: that sounds like it'd be expensive, though :'^| and take longer than just going to the store and hoping for the best

Posted in pray 4 me Posted 4 years ago

@Eruca: I live with my grandma, but we don't really have a good relationship. Alas, I can only rely on myself... guess I'll die

@Totalanimefan: eh, the nearest one is like a half-hour drive. I'd sooner just try making my own again if the food lion doesn't have any ;v;

Posted in pray 4 me Posted 4 years ago

@Eruca: they're listening, but they never step in. lazy >:^(

@inatlaka: ty, i need it ;v;

@Totalanimefan: me too, this shortage has gone on LONG ENOUGH

now if i can just muster the energy to actually get dressed and go out before the store closes... [feeble coughing]

Posted in pray 4 me Posted 4 years ago

i'm sick AGAIN and i have to go to the store AGAIN and they'll probably be out of the 2 things i have to get (bread and milk)
my life is out of control send help

Posted in ffs Posted 4 years ago

stores around here have soap; kinda like toilet paper, it comes and goes. they get a truck in, have supply for a while, people buy it out all at once and the shelves are empty for another day or two, repeat.
luckily I got some soap in the mail before the craziness started, so I'm good for a while.

Posted in Terrible Tuesday (RANT HERE) Posted 4 years ago

well it's not tuesday any more but my throat has been hurting for the past 2 days and it waited until I finally had some days off of work to start this bs. I been looking forward to having 3 days off in a row for weeks now and the very first day i wake up with a sore throat wtf is my life
better not be coronavirus istg
i still have to go out for milk and bread now too because 1, the store keeps running out of milk and my homemade oat milk attempt was abysmal and 2, the entire freaking bread loaf i just bought is already moldy >:^(

i am angery

i couldn't rant tuesday i was at work so have thursday complaints instead


i work in a grocery store, so the only positive change for me so far is.. getting out of work slightly earlier since we've temporarily changed our hours. :^P i did get a 50c raise, so less hours is at least slightly offset by that too I guess.

@Valefor: sounds good to me!

@LordLucre: i dig it. When I finish the stuff I've currently got on my list, I'll let you know!

@Amber Lynne: She is... and I'm a sucker for extra eyes ;;v;;

@Valefor: yes, yes, and yes Ren is right up my alley. let me add you to my list before i forget

And a general note to everyone: I have a few days off starting tomorrow and my lame grownup errands are finally done, so I should actually be able to get some art done soon! I appreciate y'all's patience.

@koneko: Good luck! I got way more groceries than I needed this weekend, because people keep running out of stuff and not having more when I do go... like oat milk. So I got enough stuff to last a couple of weeks, maybe more since a lot of it is frozen. Surprised all the can hoarders haven't thought to stock up on frozen goods yet.. but more for me.

Posted in Trashy Art Shack [CLOSED] Posted 4 years ago

oof sorry for being so slow; I had my weekend but had to run errands and finish another off-site art thing I owed. Luckily no more 8-day work weeks coming up, so my schedule should be relatively back to normal now and I can devote more time to this thread.

@Amber Lynne: You got a lot of interesting characters! But I spy a spider Let me add you to the list; I meant to do that earlier



@LordLucre: what it be? :o
Posted in [LOUD SCREECHING] Posted 4 years ago

@koneko: come to my store; we have plenty... for now.

@Totalanimefan: I wanna say I'm surprised that it's been cleared off the shelves, but they didn't stock much to begin with. Probably the only reason it's still empty is because they haven't bothered getting more.

@inatlaka: I highly recommend it.

@Kozi: Send me your milk. My grandma has a jug of whole milk in the fridge that she doesn't want, and I'm not gonna drink it, so a trade will be easy. Oat milk is good, though, especially if you're like me and really like the taste of dairy milk. It's not "exactly the same", but it's definitely much closer in flavor than other plant milks and has less environmental impact than dairy or almond. I've been hunting for something to replace those two, as they are the most widely available types around here, and it was hard finding other options besides soy. But then I found out my store had been carrying oat milk all along and gave it a shot and never went back.

@grost: I don't think I've seen that anywhere around here, but I'd be curious to try it just because. What's it taste like?

Posted in [LOUD SCREECHING] Posted 4 years ago

@Xanthan: Yeah, I've been working for over a week straight and slowly running out of groceries while having to watch them get cleared off the shelves ;v;
I know at my own store, we get trucks every morning but the employees don't know what will be on them. I thought of asking, but the store I was at doesn't even have the benefit of "everyone does everything" like my store, so they'd have been even less likely to have an answer. I figured I'd just come in tomorrow and check since I'm off tomorrow too, and if not, I'll make my own. Apparently it's a lot simpler than I thought. Just not as quick and easy as having it already there waiting for me >:^(

They gotta learn... if you mention wanting it, even as a joke, you will get it.
