Messing around with the store…

Posted by Darrel on January 22nd, 2009

So, I’m messing around with the store right now. Hopefully it will look/function a little better than before. Ordering won’t actually do anything right now. So, please hold off until I get it all squared away.

There will also be some new designs up in a while. You can visit the shop/store and check out the new CyberSuicide.com Spreadshop though. Get a sneak peek at the new designs.

Stay tuned.

WTF!? This makes no sense at all…

The Set-up

On the way back from a day at the in-laws’ house we stopped at Savemart (our local grocery chain for those not in the area). Rebekah ran in for just a couple of things and I stayed in the car with Connor, our son, and Nike (pronounced neekay like it should be), our dog.

So, as can be expected, I was people watching to pass the time. What else are you going to do at 10:45 on a Sunday night in a grocery store parking lot while your kid is sleeping and your dog is vegging out?

This guy walks out of the store with his bags of stuff and two 1 Gallon jugs of Crystal Geyser Drinking Water. I read the sale paper every week to shop strategically, so I know these are on sale for a buck a piece.

WTF!?

After loading his groceries into the car, he proceeds to carry his new Crystal Geyser water over to the “Refreshing Aqua Fill.” It’s one of those water dispensing machines. Now, I don’t know if this water is actually “purified” or just comes out of the tap from the store or what. It looks like a pretty small machine to house a full Reverse Osmosis system capable of keeping up with demand.

Anyway, back to the “WTF!?” moment. After walking over to the machine, he cracks open the first water jug. HE POURS IT OUT! Drops in his change and gets a gallon of water from the machine. Then he proceeds to DO THE WHOLE THING AGAIN with the other gallon.

Seriously. I just sat there mouth agape. I just can’t fathom why he did that.

So, I ask, does anyone know why on earth someone would do this? If you know the reason why, please let me know.

I’m sick…

Posted by Darrel on July 13th, 2008

So, I’ve been vomiting for the last couple days now. It pretty much sucks. Although, at this moment I’m feeling a little “up.” It might have something to do with keeping foodlike materials down for more than 15 minutes. It feels like they are going to work their way up here in a little bit, but hopefully it’ll stay down. Saltines and vegetable broth, with a slowly sipped water chaser.

I was looking across the intarwebnets for “sick food;” stuff that’s least likely to come back up or stuff that doesn’t hurt your throat if it does. (FYI, grilled chicken and squash is painful going the wrong way.)

Anyway, all that did was make me feel my hunger more. Sure, there are the sites that I was looking for, but Bulgur Cranberry salad, Coffee Jello with a coconut sauce, and Carnitas all sound so much more interesting than some special tasteless broth or carbonated beverages.

So, I can only keep down teaspoons while my hunger is ready for a big platter of Gyros and rice, or Carnitas. I also have a hankering for barley.

Many of the sites that I’ve been to over the last couple of days have had feed back or comment sections like most of the intarwebnets do these days. And this is the source of my non-sick-related rant… $15 bucks. Seriously. How can anyone let that pass? Dollarbucks. It just makes my skin crawl. I thought for a while that maybe it’s like some people saying “6am in the morning” for redundant emphasis or just to grate on the nerves of sticklers. But I’ve seen it too often and where the redundancy thing is mostly un-needed or would just be wrong. So, I think it’s people that are just trying to sound cool by adding bucks after they enumerate an amount of money. And therefore it’s just stupid. Pick one people. Dollars via the “$” or bucks. Please spare me from the evil that is the dollarbucks.
