They forced you to take the packages that you didn't want? How terrible
for you.

Oh yes! I used to go to an Albertsons here that did that. Walk in at 20 min.
to closing time and the marked down non-shelf stable things were next to
nothing. That only went on for a little while though.

Nobody forced me to take it. I just wasn't expecting it. This was in
Oakland. The friend I take stuff to sometimes lives in this state but it's
about an hour's drive to her house. I'm not going out there just to take a
loaf of bread. That's too much gas to waste. If we already have plans
together or if I have other business out that way, it's not a problem.

We were living in military housing. Had one of those smallish top freezer
fridges. In those days, my freezer was usually full of meat. English muffins
are just okay. I don't like them a lot. I have a package now in the freezer
that I've never touched. My ex would not eat them at all. Angela only likes
whole wheat and I once got a free pack of 8 grain. I liked those. Now I
don't like any of the others. In a year's time, there was no way we could
have gone through 11 packs of English muffins. But we didn't have a year
because we were moving to NY. I think we had about 2 more months there at
the time we got them. My friends were moving sooner so they couldn't use
many either!

Yes, its a terrible place. She even was forced to let a homeless man
stay in her shed and pose as a "gardener". I wonder if it is Popeye,
after being rejected by the mexican woman from Juarez.



I hope she escapes some day.

You or so many people you know dislike or won't eat whatever for so many
reasons. Sorry, I can't keep up. You're the one who posted you were
given a bunch of freebies. Now you're complaining about it?

A direct quote from your previous post:

"There was a bread outlet in Oakland CA that did the same. I went in and
bought a pack of English Muffins. Nothing else. They gave me 10 free packs.
We were all pretty horrified."

Being such a 'top notch writer' a better choice of words would have been
"we were shocked" "we were all pretty surprised" "we weren't expecting
that" or "we were stunned." Horrified implies they tried to palm off on you
completely moldy bread. Or they opened a loaf or a package and reached in with
their bare hands and pulled out several muffins and just threw them into our
bag.

Horrified is not complaining. From dictionary.com

"
adjective
showing or indicating great shock or horror:
a horrified gasp; a horrified expression.
accompanied or characterized by a feeling of horror:
horrified interest.
struck with horror; shocked:
horrified and outraged spectators."

You're right, it is not complaining; I never said it was complaining, that's
you're department. But you used it incorrectly when you said you were
'horrified' that you were given free items. Shocked perhaps, but horrified?

You were struck with horror when you were given free items? You don't
disappoint with the attention whore routine; why am I not surprised?

"Your", not "you're" (in reference to department). Shocked and horrifed mean
essentially the same thing.

How should *I* know!

You bitch that you think I used word and then you make a whopper of a
spelling error.

I have *six* inherited lobster/crab forks and a pair of pliers. I
normally boil the pliers before cracking crab, because they've been
used for previous, non-related stuff

Oh yes! I used to go to an Albertsons here that did that. Walk in at 20 min.
to closing time and the marked down non-shelf stable things were next to
nothing. That only went on for a little while though.

I don't know about here. I never do that so I only know what the
cashier told me.
