Unless you are born into royalty in some country that applies, the
term "Princess" in the USA only means (to me) a very spoiled little
girl who has always gotten her way.

I get the feeling everyone who lives in Bothell took the short bus to
school. She has a vast array of stores to choose from yet no one who
works in them ever seems to be able to answer simple questions.

I just got back from shopping, and there were no 8 1/2 ounce cans of
pears. There might be a temporary shortage because pears aren't in
season yet.

At least it's not "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle".

When I get an earworm, I can usually dispel it by
mentally playing "Don't Fear the Reaper", although
my husband has better luck with "The Green Berets".

The majority of the stores here were either Safeway or Albertsons. I can't
remember now who bought them out. Some recently became Haggen and some
became County Market. Still, apparently too soon to tell if they will be
better. So far still at the stage of having mostly the same merchandise but
less selection and higher prices. One is going to be PCC which is a local
chain, similar to Whole Foods but smaller and IMO, better. The other? I
was told that it would be the new, lower priced, smaller Whole Foods but
some are holding out hope for Trader Joe's. Still others are saying we will
get both when they knock down the tiny strip mall behind there. What will
become of the seemingly striving cake decorating store is beyond me.

At any rate, because of all this nonsense going on, nobody seems to know
which end is up. At the one Safeway, they didn't even tell customers that
they were closing. I only read about it on Facebook and got there on the
last day of business. Somebody wrongly posted that the whole store was 80%
off. It wasn't, although a few things were. I wound up buying a few things
I wouldn't normally buy, just became they were cheap. Like a cake mix and
some key lime juice.

Word is that they are building a new, larger Safeway up the street by the
Lowe's and the giant church. If this is the case, then I imagine they will
also close the small, old Silverlake one. Neither of those two locations
seemed to do much business and there seemed to be a lot of shoplifters and
other crimes at Silverlake.

So while you might have one or two stores that are stable, what we have here
is a big old mess! I will be going to QFC later because they are the store
with the big soda sale so I will look there. I don't go there often because
of the high prices, or Winco because of the distance. Target doesn't sell
the little cans and neither do the organic type stores.

Thanks! That could be too. Fresh pears are also hard to come by. Not much
of a selection and not necessarily good.

My one pear tree produced nothing this year. The other has a ton but I
suspect that by harvest time, the fruit will not be edible due to the
drought. I did water it a couple of times but we are now facing extreme
water restrictions to the point where they may be shutting it off entirely
for a few hours each day.

We just broke another record for heat. The most days in a row past 90
degrees, And still no end in sight. I do think I am adjusting to the heat
now. It's 76 in the house and I feel chilly.

Oh man, Julie. This simple question really backfired on you, didn't
it?
I'll be at the store tomorrow morning and will take a look for what
it's worth.

Keep in mind though, you provided a ton of messages for this ng last
night. I love it! hahah

Holy crow! I think she's on to something, my store had no small
cans of pears!! Of course, they had almost no small cans of fruit
at all. I guess it's not a pear conspiracy after all. My store just
hates small fruit cans.

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.

Write down exactly what you want on a piece of paper. Do you remember
the brand? Take the piece of paper to the customer service desk at
Winco. Request that they stock the item for you,. I usually get what
I want in 2 days, only once did it take longer. The person behind the
desk will pass your note to the person who does the ordering for the
canned fruit section. I have never had them refuse a request from me.
Don't ask a clerk at the checkout or in the aisle. They have nothing
to do with stock maintenance.

Great advice (not that she wants it!). Almost all large chain stores have
"contact us" email links on their websites as well. It's always worked for
me, since I know the request will be funneled to those that can actually do
something about it and not to the "dead air" on the floor.

The Bove didn't even stipulate which brand so how can she now be so
precise? Diced canned pears aren't even worth eating, they have
pitifully little food value other than sugar... the halves can at
least be used for presentation, and there aren't many halves in a
larger can. Any *normal brained* person would before buying those
tiny cans of diced water packed pears would simply buy a fresh
pear.... fresh pears still need to ripen but they all won't ripen at
the same time so by picking a few at various levels of ripeness they
can sit for a couple three weeks and still be good, and fresh pears
cost less and there are more varieties, and no can to dispose of.

Would be more beneficial for the rest of us if she put that zip-loc
over her head.

You have to cut Julie some slack. She has special problems in the stores
she deals with. There was the store where the birds were always getting
into the bread on the lower shelves, the problem with buying moldy. One
of the more serious hazards was the woman with the mop who was staking
her. It is a very special world that she lives in.

What made you into such a quasi-profound asshole anyway?

Not enough sun, warmth, too much maple sugar?

Just curious...

Lest you be accused of lying, the broom chaser was man in a turban. I
think the woman was the handicap scooter attacker.

Surely you want to be just like Julie, marry Prince Charming, and
live happy every after in a fairytale romance?

You can have it all, thanks to coupons, 17 electric fans and the
right size of tinned food.

Of course... because we all know birds like to hang out on the floor of
grocery stores. Queue Alfred Hitchcock.

I have actually seen the occasional bird flying around in grocery
stores. They come in when the delivery bay doors are open. They're
usually sparrows.

> the problem with buying moldy.

I don't get it. I actually look at food when I'm buying it. I can
count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've gotten home
with something and discovered it was spoiled. I immediately took it
back to the store, went to the customer service desk and got my money back.

Hmmmm... I thought it was a guy wearing a turban wielding a broom.

Well, we DO know about your pear situation, and that you're a spoiled
princess who always gets her own way, because you said so.

Surely, discussing your pears and princess issues is an example of you
getting your own way?
