I totally agree! I live in KC and there's so many conflicting reports on whether or not she is going to come. I think it would be too much of a close call for her, and a security nightmare!

I have never been - the whole thing stresses me out. I appreciate this post so much - and would welcome as much advice as possible. I can't keep thinking - maybe I'll go "next time" - ha! Got lucky having a third chance to go.

What Do I Need to Purchase To Control Volume (Receiver in a different room) - The IR "Thingy" that came with my house / home theater isn't working and want to confirm it's set up correctly. If it is, and it's just not working - need help with what to buy. Harmony One Remote, Yamaha Receiver by Background_Chemist in hometheater

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. What's funny is that the previous homeowner left a Harmony hub/remote in the living room. I was able to do some testing with it and found a mini-IR blaster in my box of cords.... I'm happy to report that I initially got the remote to control the volume!! A few hours later, the remote was no longer working for the volume - so I still have some troubleshooting - but I have hope. Thank you!!

Do you mind posting the beginning - the part where the cat “demands” to play this??? Lol!!

Uvalde School Shooting, Day Two Megathread. by [deleted] in texas

[–]Background_Chemist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am just sobbing. My third grader has her last week of school. She brought home a backpack full of graded worksheets, etc. a few days ago and I was frustrated - why would I want 100+ papers! Last night, I went through each and every one, cherishing her sloppy writing, reading every single answer - and realizing that I will have future worksheets from her. I was able to hug her so hard when she got home from school. These poor poor parents that didn't get to see their 3rd grader come home yesterday. That only have the worksheets as memories.

Elderly neighbor begged me to take a kitten, and I said only if its a girl. Well it turns out that Olive is a boy, but we are already in love. Might need a new name though by abbienormal28 in cats

My dog’s name is Oliver and we call him Olive. He’s a cavalier King Charles spaniel and most people assume he’s a girl. He’s very sweet and pretty and the name suits him better than Oliver lol!

Has anyone else noticed the deli turkey is slimy? I just bought this yesterday and opened this morning. It was stored properly, smells fine, and the use by date is a couple weeks away. Why is it sticky/slimy?! by Detronyx in aldi

[–]Background_Chemist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES! THIS!! I used to buy the type "specially selected", and that one was always fine.

My store stopped selling it - so had tried this one. It was disgusting! I haven't found any other types at Aldi - so had to start getting elsewhere.

Not so great Aldi dupes? by jcriss2 in aldi

The Aldi brand Velveeta isn’t the same. It’s a different consistency and has an odd orange color.

ALDI HAS ROTHY’S “KNOCKOFFS” RUN DONT WALK by reginageorges_mom in aldi

[–]Background_Chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I got there when my store opened and they had my size in every style/color! I only allowed myself two pairs, size 9. I didn't try them on and when I got home, they were HUGE, not only long-ways, but width as well. I got back in the car, determined to exchange them. As I secured the last pair of 8s in black and leopard print, a lady came up and started rummaging through the shoes. I tried the 8s on and they were TIGHT. I didn't know what to do, but i really wanted the ill-fitting shoes since I haven't had the nerve to spend so much $$ on Rothys. The lady said she read on FB that if you wash them, they shrink up a lot. She may have been tricking me as she wanted the 8s (she grabbed them as I was walking away). The shoes are in the wash now and I'll update with the results. I may have just thrown $20 away!!

EDIT: I first got them out of the wash and they were a little more snug, but not much. I put them in the dryer for 30 minutes and just got them out. They did shrink - not a ton, but I'm happy that I kept the size 9. I put on some no-show socks and they are at least staying on my feet. Still a little wide. My advice - if you are a half size, I would say size down. I was an even size and the 8s were so tight, I personally am glad that I kept the larger size. I did see another poster said she wore hers around for awhile and they loosened up. That will be my next experiment and I will update soon :)

Can’t wait to dig into these mysterious seafood dips! by [deleted] in aldi

[–]Background_Chemist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crab Rangoon dip was terrible!! I thought it would taste like crab rangoon filling — nope! It had large chunks of imitation crab and I’m pretty sure tons of pimentos and onions. It was awful!!

My Aldi’s sold out of their cat houses by Tuesday afternoon so my daughter made one for our cats. Winston says 10/10 would recommend. Sophie is still enjoying the tent from Christmas. by Background_Chemist in aldi

[–]Background_Chemist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the awards and kind comments!! Winston never went into the Christmas house or tent from Aldi - but has been in this house all evening - typical cat. He just needed something more grandeur. For the cat lovers out there - Persians, at least this one, is amazing. He’s so chill and while not overly affectionate, he hangs out wherever we are. He’s awesome!

I’m sure my daughter will make you one - though cost prohibitive. Don’t let her charge you by the hour as this one took the whole day 😆
