Right! That is what would happen with a larger sized can. So that's why I
won't buy it. You just don't get it.

Nice try, but problems are never solved for Julie. She will have a

No. That's not it at all. Same scenario as when I used to eat canned
pears. If I were to buy a larger can, half more more would be tossed out.
Why? I don't like pears enough or want them often enough to eat the whole
large can before they go bad. Same situation here. Sometimes someone wants
a little can of pears. And sometimes that person needs to take the pears
with them. They are perfectly portable that way. Eat them and dispose of
the can.

Nobody in this house wants to be bothered taking a container of something
somewhere and then bringing the container back home. You are free to do as
you want.

I don't understand why people here are so judgmental about things.

Maybe the "person" she is referring to is Mike, her husband. I'm
pretty sure he wouldn't use fruit from a can if he didn't like the
size.

I asked specifically if anyone else is having trouble finding this size of
canned pears. Apparently, nobody here buys them at all. It wouldn't matter
what I had said. Someone would have made something of it. I well know that
I can buy pears in all sorts of can sizes. I am not stupid. That is the
size that I wanted so that's what I asked about.

Apparently I can't ask anything here, even if it is food related. People
are going to make a big to do and tell of other things that I could be
doing, as though I am stupid and can't figure things out.

You should be asking YOUR STORE what THEIR issue is getting/keeping them in
stock, not wondering what OUR pear situation is,as if there is some small
can of pears conspiracy going on. You may be able to figure things out,
but this post says otherwise. If I couldn't all of a sudden find a common
food like canned pears, I sure as hell wouldn't ask RFC first. Ridiculous
attention seeking at its finest. Ask your grocer why they aren't stocking
them!!

So throw the plastic containers away too. Nobody says she needs to bring
them home,and we already know you have no qualms tossing things.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

When she tells you to shut up and calls you a nasty old woman you have
to picture her telling you that

They are 8 ounces and can be stored just like cans. Just refrigerate after

No. The deal breakers would be the price and the fact that those are very
messy to open. They used to sell them at Rite Aid. Not sure if they still
do or not. In trying to get the seal off of the top, the juice goes all
over.

For crying in the beer! I didn't ask any one to solve any problems. I
asked if anyone knew if there was a shortage and/or if they were available
in their area.

I foolishly thought that I might get an answer. One person did and another
said they would look for them. The rest made all sorts of assumptions and
gave me grief.

Again. I only want the small cans. I do not want to buy a larger can and
throw some out. I will not put any in the fridge. That would only lead to
more crap in the fridge that will eventually go moldy and need to be thrown
out. You can do whatever you want in your house. I didn't ask anyone to
solve anything for me. I specifically asked about a certain size of can.

If I wanted to, I could buy giant cans of everything at Coscto! I don't
want to.

Yeah. And I have said it repeatedly. I want the small cans and only the
small cans.

It isn't just one store. And if this continues, I might try to ask but most
likely not since I never seem to get anyone that has an answer anyway. And
at the rate that stores are going out of business or changing hands here,
who knows. It's also not a matter of not stocking them. If they were no
longer stocking them, there wouldn't be a SEM.

Does it even matter? No. Maybe it's Jetta. Maybe one of my cats took a
sudden liking to pears with her cottage cheese.

Well then you don't get out much. You can get cottage cheese here in 4 oz.
and 8 oz. containers. I normally get a dozen of the 8 oz. at a time at the
business Costco. Yes, they take up room in the fridge but they are much
cheaper to buy this way and they usually will get eaten before they spoil.

Yep. But goes by the name Knudsen's in this area.

Right. Like I said... It's Knudsen's here. But that's not what I buy. I
buy the 8 oz. Darigold. Not all stores have it but it's cheap at the
business Costco.

Like I said... I buy the 8 oz. Darigold. And you can fit the can of pears
in there, if you take a few bites of cottage cheese first. Sure, the pears
will be sticking up, but totally doable. Or... You can be totally
inventive and put some cottage cheese on your fork and then spear a pear.
Yes, the eater of this concoction uses a fork for it. Not what I would do
but...

Sorry, missed it. You posted after I'd been to the grocery store,

C'mon everybody, sing along:

But if you try sometimes, you just might find

Lucky you. My mother was in charge. If I didn't like what she bought,
I lumped it.

What's desirable about being a Princess?
