hyperbole

The internet, especially the commentariat, is powered by opinion, supposition and hyperbole. And the media is as well.

My eye doc changed my dry eye meds..... my eyes are constantly burning and blurry....looking at computer screens only makes it worse..... And reading about this new med....the burning can last 17 to 14 days....if you're lucky...could last as much as 6 months......and it could also be as much as 6 months before it works like it should...and I have another medication, for the eye infection I have that is sticky, causes blurry vision...but on the upside...I only apply that before I go to bed..... and at least the crustiness is finally going away...but I have to littereally wash my eyelids 3 to 4 times a day...using baby shampoo.......

So.... I'm grumpy
have a headache
my eyes are burning
my eyes are blurry
not in the mood for people
virtually everyone is annoying
so far have held my tongue
and not responded with colorful metaphors
So it is best to sign off for a bit

TTFN

UGH. And I thought having blepharitis was a PITA.

There comes a time in everyone's life when it's time to eat. And my time has come at last.

I plan to go to Menards today!

I no longer miss it. I've moved on to greener pastures and grateful a hardware store isn't were I get BBQ sauce anymore. I have proper grocery stores now, including an overpriced IGA with nothing special in it, an Indian grocery store and Smart n Final. And Winco. Their brand isn't as good as Meijer's but it's usually not bad for store brand, they have bulk stuff, cheaper and it's employee owned.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I like this recent creation. Not the final draft, but I like it.

After some matcha tea and a bit of chocolate, I've perked up considerably and am doings things and will be doing even more without whack-a-mole processes.

CA is BROWNER pastures.
(The "Golden State" is really brown weeds
& grass....& now black from the fires.)
No Menards, eh....how backward.
I just got a bunch of stuff I need at
the best prices anywhere.

No it's just backwards here. It's dull and brown during the summer and green and pretty during the winter time. Amd the drought is gone from the map/on pause so not black either, especially since those like just @Just George and yourself from what I've heard all took pitty on us and decided to give us a break and take a turn at have ash for precipitation when Canada decided to immitate us.

It's no loss. @Wu Wei would be proud of me if he wasn't such a grumpy bear I've come to see the backwards primitiveness of a hardware store thats also a viableish grocery store. But that's only true in the rural MidWest. Where real grocery stores are around (that aren't Kroger) then even Meijer loses it's appeal other than it probably being the second best store brand.

I still wonder about the quality of all that stuff and other strings attached. It's mostly not anything crap like Harbir Freight but I just can't see it being that great with all the deeply discounted stuff you get from there. Unless you spend so much there it's like the only person I know who eats more pizza than me, a lady who eats so much pizza she gets Christmas cards and free pizzas from a few joints.

Not only is it not black, but we have a lake that once was gone but now is back (at least for the nonce). @Revoltingest specializes in sour grapes when it comes to California.

Menards does not exist... it is a hallucination brought on by over exposure to corn fumes.... however your post is a good sign that you are no longer under the influence of corn fumes.....and starting to see the error of believing in Menards.... HIGH FIVE

 

[Brickjectivity]

What if I told you... that menards was a place in your heart?

Menards is no loss to people who don't build things.
And it has a better grocery section than any lumber
yard or hardware store in the Brown State.

I've lived there.
CA sucks because prices are so high that
we non-wealthy types would see a fall in
quality of life there.

That just proves you are a heathen barbarian., We don't have "grocery sections" but chinese, oriental, mexican, health food, polish, farmer's outlet and other grocery STORES close by. And if you want your food store along with many different options, there's Costco. And of course Trader Joes.

Yeah, the flooding was pretty bad here this last winter. But lovely seeing lakes and rivers for more than a day or two.

That doesn't make much sense. And I do build things, but they often require things also found in places like Joan's and Michael's and Benjamin Franklin's. Except it's been a long time since I've seen that last one.

Hardware stores shouldn't sell groceries. It's wrong.
