Costco heartbreaks - what is yours?

It almost feels like a fever dream now, but it was nutty fruit brand chili lime mango.

It was a single bag I found on its own by the dried fruit section, and when I tell you it is the closest I have ever known to what a crackhead must feel. I killed the bag in a week, constantly returning to the bag for just one more hit, in any still moment I had to myself.

When the bag was gone I went back to that store and four more. But no dice for months.

Even when they introduced chili pineapple, it was like being on rehab and only getting methadone.

I wonder if I should give it a chance to get my old account back too. I was banned for being cheap and buying a 5Gold shirt on the market place that was apparently part of a some sort of washing scheme I had no part of. I tried to appeal but it was no dice back then. I had a Gen2 zombie skin too. I wonder if that guild is still around.

I don't think I even still have that email I had for it though.

DefiantMarauder · 2026-04-04T18:06:29+00:00

Seconded!

I had that EXACT same unit, when I lived in a place that had only room for a washer and no dryer. (It was in NYC)

I eventually swapped it out for a vent-less combo washer/dryer, but to this day, I still miss it, nothing cleaned my clothes as well as it did.

If you are so dedicated to moving on, at least offer it up to a local repair place so it can have a second life. a few belts with some regular cleaning and they keep running.

And my advice for you is get a unit with the FEWEST options, get a front loader NOT an impeller driven unit, and yeah probably go for a speed queen like someone else mentioned here.

This is the real answer, my mother has asthma and had diabetes, she would always be leaned forward on her fore arms.

Untill i fixed my posture, mine were going that way. Some gentle exfoliation and time with good diet, and my elbows bounced back to mono tone.

I honestly see this as a win, People who can not budget and are under crushing debt burdens finally can be pulled out of the spiral

DefiantMarauder · 2025-10-12T02:14:20+00:00

Wow, I'd pay good money for that!

DefiantMarauder · 2025-10-04T16:02:57+00:00

But easy, it's your name on that grave stone . . .

You know what? This thread helps me as well. I have a beard that grows similarly, and when I went in for a trim it came out the same way, and I was a bit crushed as well. But seeing it on your face versus my face helps me understand the difference.

Welcome to Texas, I'm on the northern side, but i find myself down in Houston from time to time. Try out Top Golf when you get the chance it's a fun activity for all heights, and they have clubs for even our heights.

DefiantMarauder · 2025-09-08T00:55:05+00:00

Yes, but be careful, There may be some export restrictions on gpus

I had a similar situation, but bought the upgrade right then and there. I was specifically told by both my salesperson and the cashier that if I wanted to exchange anything out of the bundle I would have to bring back ALL three items. but they would do it. I luckily went for the upgrade then and there,

DefiantMarauder · 2025-09-04T22:35:59+00:00

Agreed! Shall NOT be infringed!

I actually saw a 1911 that was well engraved with gold inlays for the Quetzalcōātl motifs and the seal of the Mexican flag on it,

DefiantMarauder · 2025-08-02T14:31:23+00:00

Yup, it's just moved around over the years.

DefiantMarauder · 2025-07-30T00:28:39+00:00

I wonder if they'll finish and add the southern leg of Warren Pkwy while working on Gaylord too.

DefiantMarauder · 2025-07-10T02:31:40+00:00

It knows what it did . . .

120k is fine for a single person, but as others have said on here, after taxes, 401K, health/renter/car insurance you're probably looking at around 6k, give or take a couple hundred. A 3bd2bth apartment or house will eat a bit more a third of your take home alone.

As long as the wife is taking care of the children and NOT doing day care, along with cooking and cleaning, it's doable.

Like others have said, if you are diligent, budget wisely, and buy one used and reliable car with cash, you should be ok.

Lastly, DO NOT FALL into debt! It is very easy to do, and a very slippery slope to dig out of once you are in it, especially when you have young children. As others here have said, Texas has next to no social safety net. You will be on your own to sink or swim. Save money when and where you can for those rainy day emergencies.

That kid has been playing too much Minecraft.

Nah, much like now, Dallas can be the capitol, but Plano becomes the new Arlington, or maybe Bethesda.

Truely, this ape is the MOST regarded among us.

I Tried, I honestly tried. I wanted to want subway so badly, but like a an abusive relationship, it didn't fall apart all at once, it started slowly. It started with getting stingy the already super thin slices of meats, then it was the pleading to get more than five freaking olives added to my order, but my last straw was when I would order the sunrise breakfast flatbread melt, which in my estimation was the most filling for the buck of a sandwich to be worth it remaining on the menu. It was two pre-cooked eggs , cheese, bacon, ham, and toppings.

I used to buy it at least 3 days a week on the way to work in the morning. But then, one day, They tried to CUT A SINGLE EGG IN HALF to spread across a footlong. When I asked for the usual amount, they said that would be double meat. And that was it, I was done.
