1.  I cannot believe how many of these places they have

2.  and how cheap they are.

1.  There can never be enough, no man.  In fact, all sit-down, single-plate restaurants should be banned, we conclude man.

2.  They're cheapest when one consciously eats more in the value of the food than what the buffet cost, basic economics man.

You forgot to get him a haircut; or, more accurately, to get ALL his hairs cut, hippie-dude wee man!

The last load of laundry is in

[ahem, harrumph] WE are the thread-laundress here, Niki-B. ma'am.

And in that the topic has been raised, we report having warshed*/baked/folded 2 loads on Sat. night and Many (2+2) loads Sunday, so there man.

I wonder if mentioning my $80/month Evian habit to T-Bone would be equivalent to waving garlic in a vampire's face.

Did not leave the casa today, perfect Sunday man.

Did step outside (comfortably, in short-sleeved shirt), temperate Texas weather man.

Too unmotivated to mow front lawn, not that needed anyway man.

Little thunderstorm the last couple of hours, something different man.

Laundry allergies just hit, violent coughing fit we man.

"Evian" backwards = Naive, deluded Nola-B. ma'am.

And where weren't you when we were single, off our list sorry ma'am.

Only water necessary to drink is from the tap, just as wet man.

Deluded Nola-B.!  Deluded, DELUDED Nola-B.!

You have not tasted our tap water.  For the first year until we put in a line filter, I had to use bottled water in my tea.  It is definitely not improved by our water softener.  Now it just tastes bad and slightly salty.

The solution (no pun intended, no man) is to move someplace where the water isn't a solution, see Nola-B. ma'am.

Well, if you're desperate versus spendthrifty, maybe you're back on our list, provisionally ma'am.

Mrs. T-B. just called us, oh no man.

We were afraid that she wanted to yak again, read Message of Torture from yesterday man.

 

However, she merely wanted to show us a foto on her phone, see we man.

She created an invitation for Mini-B.'s Many'rd birthday party, publicize it she man.

 

It showed Mini-B. holding the cat, indignity for miu man.

Mrs. T-B. added a rubia* wig to cat, further indignity for miu man.

Actually pretty funny, chortle we man.

And why DOES your tap water taste like ####? 

The water should be pristine over there. 

And even then, nothing tastes worse than evian douche water....

Now here's a legit gripe...

 

The local Costco automatically applies all current coupons to your purchase. 

The BJs here, you have to either clip it, or add it online thru their website, or an app. 

And remember? they also don't price match

Why....why.....<sigh>  such a nice wholesale club....

Hmmm....I wonder if it is because they wanna keep the Costco crowd outta there. 

BTW, 2 (may be 3?) years after their opening, there isn't much of that Costco crowd in there.

We actually might get above freezing here today....

Oh boy oh boy! 

Gonna feel like a heat wave...

I don't know.  Other people seem to be able to drink it without issue.  I've never had an issue with tap water before, even when it was heavily chlorinated.

 

It is like a worse version of Danish water, which I could get down but the amount of calcium, etc. in it was just not my favorite.

 

The only two brands of water that taste ok to me are Ice Mountain and Evian. I have no idea why people pay for Voss or Dasani.  In the case of Dasani, I'd rather attempt my tap water.
